binds are basically bullshit until people turn on "text to speech"

it helped POO so much.
but by default its off and people dont know what it is. and there is no time to read the binds. if you hear em its much more useful.

Well you could always add somekind of beacon to the radar, so that you can see when a player wants a boost

e.g. press f
blue dot glows a bit ... or something...

i need my binds tho :P (posing touchdowns ftw)

I always used to have text to speech on but I turned it off. The spam became too tiresome. That's probably just a pub problem though. xD It still wouldn't help with boosting much. How would you know who was saying it/who it was aimed at?

Well "only team messages" helps a lot. And we added another protection so stuff like <!-_." and all these things are being ignored...because some people feel cool when they add all this to their boost binds. they cant just say "boost"...they need to make a fucking piece of art of it and spam it 10 times

That is annoying, yeah (it seems to break this board too). I've added all that kind of stuff myself.

It would be good if the ignore feature could be fixed. I haven't seen it work in ages. All the menus are there for it but nothing works (at least for me).

It very rarely works. I'd use it often (if I was playing).

Goldy fixed the suck abuses and some spectator things.

Some new bugs appeared, then we can release 2.4u i think.

What counts as abuse? If someone's sitting in your face with the sucker it makes it nigh on impossible to pass, is that abuse? :eek:

ya, that was never planed like that. i mean i knew it would happen and that it would be bad....just the delay for enemy field players didn't work and we didnt notice it before the release. it only worked for keepers.

I'm confused David-san. Why was adding the suck button a good idea? American Deathball is dead and you people go to bed too early, so I never got to test this out. So you basically gave players the ability to hold a button and make the catch radius bigger? Is this the first step towards a more involved catching system like they have in Sourceball, where you can't just get hit by the ball, you actually have to catch it? Does it work for keepers? Did you add it just to insure this game will never again be hosted on an American server? I don't get it.

Also, Catalyst, have you implemented a suck button for xball yet? If not have you implemented any buttons?

Read my earlier statments about that.

I have no idea what sourceball has ever done. The American server stuff you say is just silly.
Why do I even reply? :P
