The golden age of db?

uberslacker · Post by **uberslacker** » 06-06-2003 23:32

here's part of a convo i had with a defender on my team:

<|-NS-|uberslacker> you feel like it would be unfair to d to take the charge sound away?
<|-NS-|FreshFruit> no
<|-NS-|uberslacker> sweet
<|-NS-|FreshFruit> I know it would be harder for the D but at the sametime, yer D should be good enough u shouldnt have to rely on a sound

that basically says it...

yeah, like freshfruit is the bringer of light

no honestly, I am aiming for teamplay, a lonely attacker shouldnt be able to do much

hey thats my D your dissin :p

i agree, but if an attacker is close enough to get a shot off, the d has been beaten, aka bad d

it all comes down to the defense, if you have good d, like freshy said, you shouldn't need to depend on a sound

dunno, I don't wanna decide now
it all has it's pro's and con's

just make a beta version with the chargeup sound out and play some scrims with it and let others too, then see what they think and how the games play...

and ps, if you make this beta and if your d sucks with it, don't automatically say that it means the offense has an advantage :p
seriously, if it plays like crap this way i'll shutup, but i really feel that db will play much better with this out

there we go, lets try it, and if its not good, then fine, but let the majority of people interested to try it, and not just your team or whatever

I would love to try out a new beta with all the current features that are in and without the sound charge

btw in case you didn't know these are some of the best NA players that are calling for this... it isn't like these guys can't score and are just complaining like some ppl that seem to camplain every time they stop being good. we do have some clue what we are talking about over here hell this would make the game more like you beloved soccer

(my beloved too)

lets just try it and get the MASS opinion and then leave that sucker out of here... hell you might even get a couple players to come back to db if you take this out and the rest of the features are good

Right now the majority of DB is played on 50% of the field, the two pboxes. Why not just make smaller maps if that's what you want this game to be.

David there are cons right now because people are so dependent on the sound. We managed before the sound was in just fine, in fact I think many defenders were better without it. It takes all the skill/predictions out of being a defender. After playing without the sound for a couple of weeks, it'll be clear to those that want it to stay how bad it was holding defenders back.

Why shouldn't a lone attacker be able to do much? Without the sound, if an attacker can get past the D to the pbox, he should be able to score, he earned it. The point of this is to get the defense out of the pbox and moving around, and preventing the offense from getting in scoring position. The game will be more fast paced, and pretty much more fun. Don't believe me? Go play 1.3 or 1.4b, and see how much faster it is.
