no, basically different gameplay on every server sucks

meh , im unsure bout it!!

its basicallly a variation of 1.7s boostgoal trick which is lame, however it aint as effective, and i can only recall mayb 2 or 3 goals max scored against us like that, (then again , we got mach\o/) but still, i think its a bit nasty when teams spam it against you cos they cant think of any other ways to score

I don't see whats so un-noob friendly with set jumping, its part of the basic game of unreal2003, if they don't know how it works then they havnt even played the game they bought.

personally i think having boosting require a little more timing isn't such a bad thing. althought i guess everyone likes seeing 5 guys in the air trying to volly the same ball. might as well make there only 1 jump cept you can just as high as a quad jump, only you'll start to fall if you let go of the jump button sorta like a rocket pack, thatd be pretty noob friendly.

;)

the only thing i say no set jumping for is goalies. they have a hard enough time....

um davidm the "negitives" listed with set jumping are all really possitives except for the "luck" which really isn't luck it is mathmatical code obviously it isn't random. Since you are coding the game you could always make the time that you can do the double/quad jump a little more forgiving while not doing this free jump/hovering stuff that is now possible. boosting and timing volleys being harder would be a good thing not a bad thing, add some more things to learn and master and seperate skill levels.

dis i love you man but you are wrong about shooting, anything davidm can do to make shooting more useable again is a good thing, it is much more fun than the spam volley creates. I love tricks as well as the next guy (like give me back dribble and maybe even a slower n00bcannon) but not at the exspense of core gameplay

that would actually be kind of interesting, might actualy be the best but i haven't thought about it for very long... just sounds like it could be fun

no wouldnt work, cause its also about the time that it takes to get up there, it creates other problems again if its too fast (1 high jump instead of 4 small ones)

making multijump a bit forgiving...thought about that too......but still, it would kill boosting, thats enough reason to keep it the way it is, its too good

my idea is to disable locking on flying players, so you have to play shoot passes which takes more skill at least

so u can only pass to ppl on the ground. hmmm

i dunno, but its gonna be hard to get rid of this without a major change in gameplay :\

maybe u should never have taken set jumps out, then we woulndnt be used to it :\

wonder what it would be like with set jumps back :O

either way, if u dont find a good solution this will at best kill the DBL, at worst kill DB itself.

reduce the lock on 'flying' players, ie cannot target over a certain point in the y axis. dont want to make it impossible to target jumping players.

theres a difference between learning tactics and whoring moves
