The little things

Post by gnomeh »

This is not just another 1.7 is crap thread. Its the little thing that is done that mostly have nothing to do with gameplay, other than the fact they are annoying and plain out dumb. Mostly the pointless and completely useless additions.

I know it serves no purpose, but you took out crouch. There may be no point in doing it, but you feel wierd when unable to do it. I hear its being readded though, so :).

Its mostly the maps that are the problem though. You added mountains to LowCube. I understand you can take them out with Normal Word Detail Settings but still doesn't the defeat the whole purpose behind low cube? Another thing is the ambience noise you add to your maps, why can't you just leave stuff as it is. You added a very useless and pointless wind noise to lowcube. It does nothing to help the game other then put me in a strange trance while keeping :p. The crowd noise is also another problem. I know I've been complaining since 1.3 about the crowd noise, its not even the fact it you can't hear the charge as well but the fact its just annoying.

Lastly is the fact that you ignore people who say they can't tell when they have the ball. Most people you tell to be shutup and that there is two noises and its not too hard, but where is this other noise? It doesn't exist. People have gone and tested it out with bots and they havn't heard two different noises. You also say the little icon in the middle is enough help, but most people are two busy trying to get open, hammering people away and looking at their radar to even notice the dumb icon. If so many people are saying they have a problem, I'm sure there is one.

I can't think of any closing paragraph other than I hope more dumb changes like these don't happen and the little things are fixed.

i agree with his point about not knowing whether you have the ball or not, i was playing earlier and i was boosted and someone tried to pass to me in the air, i thought it went straight past me but when i landed and went to boost a defender out the way i actually gave them the ball,please do something about it

it does need to be a bit more obious, but its not "that" hard, the icon, the noise, the powerup bar...

what about making the crosshair go red or something? and white when not with the ball.

crowd noise sucks. and when im in a crowded situation i dont know that i have the ball sometimes. theres been a few suggestions already but i think a weapon animation would be the best.

Sometimes when I catch the ball, the icon that is suppose to appear in the middle of my screen doesn't show all the time. Is this a bug?
