all these complaints deflect off me like the ball in the current beta \o/


but you replied any way, not sure if thats mildly funny or just completely stupid. Coming from you, Im sure its just completely stupid

edit: read properly, I said im not complaining - I was expressing my opinion on what you're doing wrong. Tbh I dont care how bad people think 2.4 is, at least its going in the 'right' direction (sorting the keepers out!) 2.3 was a joke

But like I said, ANYTHING you can use as an excuse to insult me or start an argument with me you'll take - And some how I wonder why people cant see that and blame me for imagining things. (Aimed at Sixty and possibly Cata)

Messy wants:

- A fix for human walls /o\
- More forgiving shake time? (atm - though I do think that's the main thing DavidM's trying to achieve ;p - you can only try to pass it back and let someone catch it or volley it away (preferably a teamy))
- More powerful volleys (2.3 max-shot power and under: 1800, beyond that maybe make volley-power equal to or a bit less than - but at least affected by! - shotpower

I thought the 'anti-davidm' thingy was nice, considering its the first time ive thrown anything at him instead of react/reply to his total bs :) any way its not even that insulting

Back on topic, 2.4 needs scrapping imo, yes its looking in the right direction (sorting out the keepers etc) but I think it went too far... way too far O_o

Frankly, to scrap something that's "going in the right direction" would be rather stupid. You scrap stuff that's going in the wrong direction and tweak the things going in the right direction.

Anyway, I've played the new game some more and more and for some reason I'm just adapting easy to the new style of play. The only gripe I have is the one everyone has and it's that of the size of the goals. Once again, it really doesn't matter about the size of the goal considering NADBL are trying out mixer maps with goals that are bigger than 2.3's but smaller than 2.4's. The height of the goals is the same as 2.4, just the width is knocked down about 20-25%. It definitely seems better.

Goal size is a mapping thing anyway, so who honestly cares... the default maps can be easily replaced later. Other than that, I like the changes a lot compared to 2.3.

One thing that's still a problem, the clock bug. Sometimes the clock will just reset the seconds to zero after some goals. For example: A goal will be scored with 3:14 left and at reset of the clock the time is now 3:00 left. That's an issue that definitely needs to be fixed.

Oh, and dribbling is still a little buggy. I remember him saying that holding down alt-fire would prevent someone from picking up the ball, that's not true at the moment so I'm assuming it's a bug.

I believe you can't dribble from behind. I've only seen plays get the ball while dribbling when it starts to get behind them.

You've said many times. Must get galling people not reading.

But still, as things currently stand, it is very easy to dribble indefinitely. :)
