things i want to be changed in db.

Post by W]or[m »

i'm really getting tired of the .2 sec delay after enemy touches or shoots the ball before you can volley it. i also dislike the volley speeds changing when 7+ players are in the game...throws my aim off all the time. (but is the least of my worries) oh..and davidm BRING BACK THE OLD NAMES!! atleast put an option in the menus so we can change the names back to the old way. they were so much better. they didn't take up so much space and block my view. heehehe. bring back team boost passing! the defense should be able to boost back and stop it ez and it makes the game faster and more fun in my opinion. the 2 jumps after enemy boosts is a good idea, but you cant pass to your own team after they boost?!? its kinda....weird. but so far db is turning out to be pretty good. keep up the good work davidm....but we need to start goin back to the old day db...was so much better back then.

i thought the delay is 0.5 and yah it;s annoying.. makes it impossible to intercept short distance passes

the non boost pass is a good thing as much of a pain as it is.

the broom stick play was way too easy, and makes for unfun games...

people need to learn to see both sides of a change

X bugs me, remove it!
And oh wonder, what happens? Problem Y appears.
Some things are there to fix a worse problem.

yea...fine..keep the boost passing out. but take away the delay after the enemy shoots or touches it. it makes defense that much harder...lol. i dont know..it would probably be fine if i had a decent ****ing connection...56k blows.

If I get it right, you are talking about the enemy volley latency.
Back in 1.2 we had none, and it was horrible.
Spammy as hell, defense was superior, keeper too. You could basically get every ball. The volley latency was one of the best things that ever happened to DB.

nice post, gonna add my personal wishlist here \o/



1) lower volley radius for offense.

volley is too easy, it s more powerfull than shooting, u don t have shake probs. people don t even try to shoot, they just spam volleys. It s just cheap, cos def got a damn hard time to defend it, if it s not even impossible and the high radius makes the volley much too easy. The ball is over your head, and you still can volley it into the low corner, etc. Reduce the radius to get ridd of the spam and make it a bit more "skilled" for such a powerfull shot.



2) fix triangles.

I just got health activated. it s not shown in the bar over the triangle as it is with names active, but in front of the triangle. When a red team member got hit, you can t read the red number due to the red triangle.



3) karma ball.

As it is planned, i m pretty excited about it. If it works, it will be awesome! no more 30 cm volleys ;)



4) add penalty shooting :rolleyes:

icehockey-like



5) (dream) abilities.

like it is planned for single player. When you create a player, u can put a fix number of points into different abilities, like shotpower, volleyradius, speed, higher jump, etc. The points should be a fix number and not improving over time, cos new players would be outpowered and won t find fun in that game.



greetings :)

Penaltys wont work, the keeper would save it every time, if your stood on the spot, still.

Maybe if the ball drops infront of you and you volley it in? or something :\ < kinda lame (but for a penalty shoot out) under extreme conditions of overtime going over 5 mins. < Which will happen what? 1/70 ... and will mess up Public games. Must be a mutator to add pens :)

Other then that, David said all ... well its enough for me to understand :P

nameless: your wish list sux... maybe a keepers dream, but lol?

People should realise the game is good, or we wouldnt be playing it still... just needs the right promotion/advertising to be big!
