esor, making mutators to double triple quadruple volley speeds is not a solution that will be beneficial to unifying the deathball community.

it's kinda like going to iraq without international support :)

well those are the fun modes for screwing around (it's actually gotten more praise from the 15 or so people that have played it then I expected), the regular one just alleviates the self-volley nerfing and reverts back to 2.0 style for that one setting... more fun to come as early as tonight!

One other thing, I made them because there were people existing that wanted them. And being I recently learned how to make mutators, I wanted to do something to help a community that was partially in shambles due to some of the recent changes. So if anything, people that are TOTALLY against the self-volley change (and the replay change even though it's not a HUGE deal, just an annoyance) will continue to play knowing some servers (at least ours) will have these fixes available. I'm trying to please the greatest number of people through the use of allowing for options and alternatives, a tactic that should Team Vortex have used it this thread wouldn't have existed in the first place... if there's anything else people want, I'll be glad to research and attempt coding of said idea, PMs always welcome to constructive comments and ideas!

actually if you have some talent in this area maybe you could sort a little bug out for me.

The Communications tab, used to ignore the text from certain players, doesn't seem to work for me. At least not properly. Any chance you know how to fix that? (Probably not a DB issue though)

It seems you can ignore on some servers but not others.

If TV would have acted to everything the way you suggested, there would be 100 options to implement everything from dribbling to no self-volleys and superpowered high-in-the-air rmb shots :)
Why? To please absolutely 100% of the community immediately instead of making them get used to the game? Which, might I add, most of the time, either immediately or after some tweaking, turned out to be much better in the end according to most
Why? To stop people from whining until they get used to it and make 'threads like this' not necessary?
Why not? So as to not create 500 possible versions of Deathball through combinations of options and alternatives, which a small community couldn't take :)
Every server would play differently :rolleyes: I agree with DavidM when he says that's not how it's supposed to be with Deathball :\ (or at least not until we have a community of 15.000).

ps: of course I wasn't serious on most of the numbers ¬_¬
