Keeper's box

Can you please put the keepers box back in, it was a lot better the way it was in 1.6 than in 1.7

In 1.6 it was a lot riskier to leave the box to get the ball, you had to run all the way back to the keepers box to be invulnerable. Now in 1.7 you just exit the box, grab the ball and do a quick turbo back to edge of penalty area, there is almost no risk at all.

Another thing is the keeper's box was a good reference to use on your position in front of the goal, now on most of the maps you have to concentrate on the middle radar goal posts to get your bearings.

You mean you don't use the middle radar to find out where the posts are anyway?

That middle radar is one of my most valued objects in the hud, bless it's beautifully formed circular sprites.

But the middle radar sucks

I dont use it.. so it automattically sucks.. i cos am DB oO

Ok,... perhaps not **lets down ego** but aaaaanyway, hes on about the Keeper Area.. which is f*cked up (or was before) but i think its been changed so u cant have duel keepers..

The lines need to be painted back on though

I dont see why you dont need them

i think.. .. hope..wish.. its been changed so u can duel keeper.. i not read the gameplay changes, couldnt be bothered.. if i did, i wouldnt be able to do a mindless post :d

err, you mean so you can't dual keeper?

i remember it was mentioned, something about reducing the catch radius of people in the pbox, but i cant see it in the changelist

Nah it'll never be like that. DavidM came up with a system that *might* be introduced in later versions.

It would solve one prob and create another one, so we forgot about that quickly!

may i ask what this "other problem" would be? The only way i could see it being abused is if you boosted plaers at the net to block the keeper from dodging then shooting the ball on the far side (so the keepers blocked and its and easy goal cause of no catch) but you can already do something to that effect...

I agree on that point.

But the rest is shit. Being keeper is hard enough.

I don't know if the 'original question' was answered....

"Can you please put the keepers box back in, it was a lot better the way it was in 1.6 than in 1.7

In 1.6 it was a lot riskier to leave the box to get the ball, you had to run all the way back to the keepers box to be invulnerable. Now in 1.7 you just exit the box, grab the ball and do a quick turbo back to edge of penalty area, there is almost no risk at all."

Adding risk to actions improves the variety to the game.
