Easy Summer Update for ShootMania Possible?

Some things that are currently missing and which wouldnt cost a lot of effort. ( I think )
Maybe NADEO could update ShootMania during the summer/autumn like this?

Block Variation :
45° spawns
45° bluepads
45° teleports
45° grapples
45° fences
45° wooden slides
Teleport : remove sides for easier access
Arrowpad : Buff/nerf it and add some variants ( not only linked to bluepads )
--> Make it a usable weapon ( in Elite & other modes ) just like the railpad
Extra cage variants

Spectating :
Center crosshair while spectating

MatchMaking :
Allow spectators on MM-servers
MinimumMatches Setting to keep away new players/SMURFS from MatchMaking.
--> Play "100" matches before you can join the ubisoft lobby
Fix random suspension bug and increase penalty-time ( maybe this would mean a lot of work )

Other :
Water : Dont lose stamina -- Walk faster in the water -- Swim faster in the water using stamina
Character Animation : Animate arm when player has zoomed in on railpads
Metal Lamp : Fix sound source
Forcefield : Fix stamina loss when touching the border
The cant-toss-bug & random number underneath the toss


Anyways, I would consider this to be awesome! :) This update with an ESWC announcement.
Think about it NADEO ^^

Not bad, but why this summer or atumn? This year is the TrackMania-year. Nothing for SM this time. they're working on TMT. Maybe next year..? :?

I know TM = 2015.
Anyways, I find it véry strange to ignore a game for over a year and half and I'm proposing a somewhat small & easy update where basically they edit/recycle already excisting stuff.

Cant blame me for trying ^^

Obviously TM players vote no, and they are right :)

Sorry guys, but TM players have nothing to do here, unless they are playing SM themselves :!:
And stop placing your fingers in the "no SM this year" wound, ok!? :roll:

Some little update for Storm (Elite etc.) would certainly be nice.

The thing is, it is summer, and therefore vacation time for many.
Therfore there won't be any update during nor at the end of the summer (99% sure, based on experience with previous releases).
When the next update will be, and which contents it will have... you can gess: only very urgent fixes, if there are any.
Something at end of Fall or even at the end of this your might look more reasonable.
But even if 2016 will be year for ShootMania, this does not say when anything will be released then :?

Therefore I can't vote (mixed feelings) :oops:

On the Paragon Lobby you need now 75 wins minimum to be able to play!
Thank you Lukas!
What do you think about a small, but good (after)summer update?
