hmm deathball is starting to become football....

the whole idea of deathball as a game itself is dissapearing, remove the 4 jumps and boosting and u have football

i liked all versions before 2.4e tbh

i'll wait and see if i can enjoy the new version when i fixed my computer

... not sure how it's like football.. at all.. but, has the volley radius been reduced at all? if not then i'm getting some serious slowdown from something because i can't hit shit even playing by myself

I don't see how its getting closer to football either. Nevermind.
Only changes been made are in the changes list. You won't find any volley radius stuff there.

The down/up curve needs a lot of tweaking or even to be removed.

Shots need slowing down, or goals need to be a tad smaller, imo. Slower preferred, but nothing drastic like stopping the ball dead :p

Or make the pboxes bigger. They're just set at a random size that seemed OK at the time, like the goals were, right?

Not that I've played 2.4i. All might be fine.

DavidM, You really start to ruining the game , 2.4i is really the badest version ever, Many people on pubs don't want to play anymore.

The ball becomes unpredictable for keepers and all start using curve up/down spamm.

You are on the right way to make deathball death.

You can't kill the undead.

Next time read the note on the changes log before you leave such comments here. Thank you very much, Sir Desaster.

RTFM would be typed much faster.

I just mentioned my opinon and what i heard from the other on the server.
But sounds like it you not want to hear some feedback.

I thought it was clear enough. Then I'll explain it again.
Before the release it was obvious, that this version would be 1 step ahead and 2 steps back. We need to release it this way in order to balance it properly.
I do NOT care about a hand full of vo pubbers who are there for years. The whole VO movement prevents us from getting in new players. When the next full version is released we'll pimp it all big time and get new players, who will NOT be taught VO from the start, and I hope your support is there too.
Anyway, backsteps are part of my plan, and there is nothing to worry about.
David

WRONG, best update of the last few months for popularity in pubs imo.
And although I agree that most pubs should be reg, they aren't, and that's a shame, cause vo's gone. But reg is better.
And why does everyone think that reg is lame? I got kicked from a server for scoring reg goals... T3rm1 i'm looking at you.

Is it just me or does vertical spin displace the ball way more than the old horizontal curve? Turn that shit down!

I'm seeing 6on6 pubs all the time.... hence I don't understand how one can say it's ruining pubs.

Post by **The_One** » 04-09-2006 19:58

Surely it's obvious? VO guys don't like 6v6...unless it's on smallcube.
