"Volleying is still the best way of scoring. Nothing wrong with volleying, but shooting needs to be competitive too"

hm, we just played a match and scored 5 shoot goals and 1 volley goal, and our enemies scored 1 shoot goal

You seem to base your opinion on one match, every match is totally different, depending on your team mates and plenty other factors.


Concerning the powerup sound, it will be louder again.

tbh id have to agree with relik... shooting feels really weird, almost as if the power has been cut in half :mad: :confused:

volleys are 50% more powerful, on average, based on metres/sec.

combined with the fact that they are instant rather than charged, makes them even more effective.

The only downside to volleys are that it takes a little more skill to aim them properly, but thats probably because I suck at them.

I'll play more games and see if my opinion changes, I hope it does, but tbh I've been wanting shoot power increased since before 1.7 was released.

hell no 0_o
a basic volley is 10% less powerful, if you do well 10% +

ok the max shoot speed I've achieved is about 35 m/sec, more often its about 30m/sec

the max volley speed I've seen is 50 m/sec, but again more often its around 40 m/sec

I've never seen a volley below 30m/sec.

Edit: These figures are based on those that are given when someone scores

Where are you getting your stats from?
And over what range are you talking about? Because the only applicalble range to consider is that from just outside the penalty box

Saying volleys are weaker over the entire length of the field is meanlingless if the volley goals are scored from around the pen box

thought you were talking about the relation to the old volley

but atm i dont see a necessity to increase shoot power, volleys are harder to do, so they are more powerful

thats fair enough...

I think we need to wait for some more clan games before we can really tell if shooting needs to be adjusted. I have a feeling that most good keepers will be able to save 90% of direct shots... but we'll see...

so i have some points for 1.7 to improve:
Spamm detection for ffa severs ok..........but in a clanwar if someone press twice on his Bug button, he or she is fucked.
noobcannon: there should be an option in the config to turn it on and off.
