Yeah, that's what SamY suggested on the first page.

How about a limit on the number of players in the defensive zone to combat the camping? Say, 1 man other than the goalie allowed in the zone at 1 time. More than that, give em a 2 second count or so, then frag them. Like the 3 second 'in the paint' rule in basketball. But with gibs.

i think that the instant gib should only be by keeper

normal shots need to be more viable.

Could make the pbox like the paint in basketball...you can only be in it for 3 seconds at a time as a defender. However cause of how DB is, 5 seconds would be more realistic. The timer resets everytime you leave it.

You sir, are an idiot... /o\

i think the pbox insta kills are fine, otherwise the attack gets too close to shoot and impossible for the keeper to react fast and catch it. only time that happens right now is if the defence boosts to foward...

well what do you suggest to stop pbox camping?

Rens2Sea · Post by **Rens2Sea** » 04-06-2003 06:09

Nothing, pbox camping is being caused by attackers, so the defenders shouldn't be punished... And the passshot power will be decreased to 70% so i think there is less pbox camping then.

why will it stop if it works so well o_0 against a decent keeper, its near impossible to score from outside the box

There's no reason for it to go away now. It was only a matter of time til people figured out how well it works in *any* situation.

Hopefully people will just realize it makes Deathball into the most boring online game in existance.

nah, if it works, ppl will do it. maybe not in pubs but certainly in clan matches

On the whole, you're right beefsack. We don't do it because basically, we'd rather lose and have fun doing it than p/box camp as routine and be bored stiff.

I'm constantly being told that we're going to need to boostgoal and p/box camp to survive. Fuck that.
