An Idea to Eliminate Boost Goals from DB

Post by **DavidM** » 14-08-2003 08:04

this has been discussed in another thread already, and I explained what we will be doing about it

not being able to volley in the air would look like a bug
only those people who know why you cant volley there will know why it has to be like that
the dozens of others woulnd complain, thats why this cannot be done

Surely you don't mean this "solution":

DavidM wrote: something like 2200 (always + walking speed)
then for every 128 units above ground remove 175

128 = 2025
256 = 1850
384 = 1675
512 = 1500
640 = 1325

that sounds healthy to me

Sounds like the lamest idea you've had, and that's saying something.

since the opposite of what yoyo sez is mostly good we can go with that idea

Most peopel don't know the definition of "not following the ball", tehrefore can't do man to man

Omg must you lot whinge about every little thing?
The best way to solve this problem is not to bitch about it, but to ADAPT to it.

Hasn't this already been discussed? Why create a new thread for it.

Stopping people from jumping after they've been hit by an enemy solves the problem completely without ANY drastic gameplay changes.

Team-assisted boost volley goals REQUIRE three people to perform. This is teamwork and should not be discouraged.

ugh no
we always have 3 ppl there...too easy to do

and that way it could just be solved by not kicking the enemy off in the air....

please do not remove boosted vollys. that would really suck some of the fun out of this game.

I havnt seen much of a problem on public servers with boosted goals.

then again we're to busy having fun and laughing to bother bitching about anything ;P

wasnt it made when you receive the ball you have no jumps left? I mean come on defense. Kill them if they're hoppin around like bunnys in the penaltie zone...

if they're setting up for a boost goal, they got 3 people sitting near eachother near your net. stop pbox camping and take some chances, it might turn in your favor...

shizam!

Imo, the essence of boost goal should be taken out because its hard for the defenders to cover. However, the fact is, its hard for the attacker to volley it in. Unless you are some leet vollier, you prolly won't get it in. Usually, by the time the ball reaches the keep, the catch radius is pretty big. I haven't seen alot of these goals, not like when it was first abused.

I actually like the idea of less powerful vollies the higher you get in the air. It shouldnt be drastic but just a little tweaking should do. No matter what anyone says a boost volley is pretty much undefendable. Sure you can try to break up the boost to begin with but they will get it eventually... it's definitely not a sure way. Once the booster is high in the air it's pretty much impossible for a defender on the ground to get up that high to stop it. It is a hard shot to pull off and it does make the game interesting so i don't think it should be removed, just lessened in power a little so the keep has a fighting chance if it's on target.

THing is, people are ONLY using this move and at such speed shooting is not used. my game the other day the enemy team "only" used this and half the time we had like 3 people in the pbox and the ball just flys past everyone and the keeper. unless a keeper has a slightly increased catch radius on volleys its oh so ghay.
