Shake

Two (edit: Three) things about shake I wanted to rant about for a sec (bare with me)

1) If you put a banana on a shake, the shake effect hardly goes into effect anymore, it seems to differ less from the normal shake?

Imo a shake with banana shud be even worse than a regular shake :)

2) You can easily cancel a shake by using the dropflag command =\
It's also generally really annoying.
I've got it bound to pageup (which is remapped to one of my mouse's thumb buttons) and it's pretty lame :o

For those who haven't seen, it allows you to drop the ball immediately, even during charging.

This has been in since when DB first started I think, I used to play around with it in 1.4 or something.
But now that everyone is using it, it's frequent use has become very annoying (people definitely got annoyed when I used it all the time in a pickup recently ^^;).

[/rant]

I hope Teamvortex will at least address the second point :)

edit:

3) Consider stopping shots from shaking if players fall from too high?

If two people have as much teamwork as to actually succeed in boosting someone up and getting the ball, this shouldn't be discouraged imo. Atm if people catch it in the air by proper teamwork (or freak accident of course) and they land from too high of a fall, they will shake their shot (even tho only 1 hp is taken away ;))

Consider removing this by only letting shake kick in after 60 damage? :>

Yeah man, shake is seriously f'ed up here.

You can get hit then charge one second later, naner it and it'll shake.

Having your problems as well... GG DavidM :P

if you start powering after being hit you wont get a too powerful shot. and if you power enough to get a good shot, the defender can hit you again -> die

I still want pass shake on non-locked passes :D

cuz when i keep. i like to dodge like a retarded bunny and hit attackers. but too often i hit em just before they enter the pbox and they pass it over my head after i hit them with a senceless hit thus i am pwned.

fix db to my style
do my bidding
