2.4 plan

i have to say im genuinely excited about this new feature. i suspect it will take a lot of tweaking to get the 'feel' right.

did you say you were planning a beta or a release/fix setup?

also, any chance of making the balls different colours?

Only thing now that could pull me away from WoW is this multi-karma ball thing. Screw this up and I'm gonna cry.

I'm not all that bothered about the multiball...I just wanna have a play with the new physics.
The posibilities for more skills is bigger than ever.

Ha, how good would it be to stop a goal with another deflecting ball...

Simple things.
Simple minds.

Agreed. Multiball might be a laugh, but I doubt it'll have any long term appeal...

As I said, 5 balls will be a laugh, but I think 2 balls should be a serious new way to play, that requires completely new thingking.

I'm envisioning some fun pinball-table maps. Hit the wrong trigger and wham! *MULTIBALL!!!*

if a normal (1 ball match) is tied by full time - mulltiball might be a good way to spice things up in overtime

A tied game shows its an even pair of teams, and to go and unbalance the overtime with more than one ball would suck ^^

why would it be unbalanced?

Anyone else believe that the introduction of a second ball will at least double the amount of cherry picking at the moment?

WTF second ball... i'm missing something eh??
I hope u aren't planning to add balls to the standard ones o_O

MultiBall doesnt seem like something you wanna play if you want a serious game.

R3L!K · Post by **R3L!K** » 09-12-2004 03:43

yeah people may start to get lazy

since the ball is the focal point of the game, having mulitple balls may cause confusion as to which way to boost etc.

i think this mode will be best in short bursts. A whole game like this wouldnt be fun.

increased cherry picking is highly likely too ^^

Check pics :p

As for multi-ball overtime, im not sure that'd be any good - unless you had 1 for each team... which still wouldnt be that good.

And more balls = less passes, if people get used to it it'll be an ego-filled game for life....... private/gimmicky use maybe, unless its soooo gooooood... but not 'official' league matches..
