The sniper rifle will be modified?

The sniper rifle was balanced after several tests and will not be changed.
You can instead use the rifle because it has no inertia applied to it.

I've hosted a match, why the players ping is pretty high?

The ping of other players depends on the physical distance between the client and the server.

Is there a LAN mode?

Multiplayer works on LAN of course since you can host a match.

Why I Can't see servers?

If you previously used to see the servers list and now the servers list is empty
the reason should one of these:

1) [Windows] On a update, Windows warned you that the executable changed from the last time, but you have not seen this dialog or, worse, you accidentally chose to block it.
To unblock it, open "Control Panel" -> Windows Firewall -> Advanced settings -> Inbound Rules
and remove all "Blockstorm" and "blockstorm.exe" entries.

Then open Blockstorm, enter video settings and check "Windowed Mode".
You should see the dialog that ask you to block Blockstorm or not.

2) You disabled Blockstorm updates on Steam. Please, turn on updates since you could see only up-to-date servers.

3) The download of the list for you was always a problem. In this case, you've a PPPoE internet connection or similar.
Currently, Unity3D (the game engine of Blockstorm) has a problem with these connections. Try to access to the configuration
of your router (using the router guide), and find how to change the MTU value.
Probably, the configured MTU is 1480 or less. If so, change it to 1492.

How can I change my player name?

Player name depends on your actual Steam alias.

Is there a place where I can get new character skins?

How can I have my map on the community server?

Follow the Blockstorm forum announcements and respect the
creation rules.[forums.playblockstorm.com]

In the map editor, I put the spawn point on the map, but I still can not play, why?

Probably you've added to the map boundaries and the spawn points are OUTSIDE the walkable areas, represented by green cubes.
