well, i didnt read the title as much as i read the giant rant underneath it which was entirely concerned with removing tricks and VO, and somehow tried to tie it with the game moving more towards soccer.

if you call removing volley spam and whoring retards moving towards soccer then we are on different wavelengths so i wont bother saying anything else.

Patch

New tricks

Patch, no more tricks

New tricks... and so on. You get the idea.

Stop taking away the stuff we like and leave it in. This isn't your mod, it's the community's. You HAVE TO hear people's opinion unless you want to make your own fucking mod and play with yourself all the time.

I totally agree with you that DB should be team oriented, but the way it's going is that around 2.5 if it survives untill then, we'll only have the fucking pass/shot buttons. You need to develop a single-man strategy or whatever so that each player can perform at different positions depending on their individual talent... if you're good at faking the D with your wall-volleys, wall-sets, 360's charged shots, what-the-fuck ever, then play O. If you don't fall for any of those, then you get to play D. If you think that bounce+volleys are easy to save, you get my point, you play keeper.

Oh yeah, if you haven't noticed yet, I'm talking to the DB team leader, whoever it is.

P.S.

Here's one for you. THEY CAN'T QUAD JUMP IN SOCCER. 0mgr0fltakeitawayplz or die. (Thx to priior for his guide.)

/rant

P.S.2.

I'm not done yet, it's just all I had to say for now... forgive the poor english and scattered ideas...

DISCUSS. I will add more and reply to whoever opposes my ideas and defend them with respect. This is not a flamming, whining, whatever thread.

That's it...

tard

u didnt even say whats in deathball thats like soccer.. becuz there aint apart from the positions which u didnt mention... all u said was if ur decent at a postion.. play it! :\ yeah? so? we aint stupid... wtf delete this shit.. just stating the obvious.. look at davidm's logs onto y he made deathball... cuz he didnt want soccer.. gg you. :\

Lemme scan this thread.

Hmm.."individual skill going away"...
"Attackers can't shine"...
"Leave us to our tricks"..

Yup

Surge all over again.

I bet next you're going to say DavidM doesn't pay attention to your community (be it NA, Euro or Ozzy..although the last ones would probably have a point)

Anyway, I don't agree -.-
That said, gg beefsack

read his post again to see my opinion on all of this

I hate vo and I think the new self volley speed is retarded. I'll probably change my mind though, especially if it reduces the number of vo servers (as long as they're replaced by reg servers rather than simply disappearing).

rofl yeah it takes lots of balls to type shit on a keyboard and say what ppl have been saying since 1.5. :-p

btw mael you don't speak for all of the NA community so don't try

hmmm, could have been stated better;p

the one thing i do agree with however is the new self volley speed being nerfed, thats silly, I agree it removes the chance for lone attackers to shine, aah well.

I hate vo and I think the new self volley speed is retarded.

i think self volleys are retarded.

think of allthe time... a player could have passed and had someone else score.. but instead he tries to self volley.. is this a behaviour ud liek to encourage?

Twigstir · Post by **Twigstir** » 24-08-2004 14:09

wow, people actually saying powered and pass shots are retarted and should be discouraged.

How funny.

m8, he tries to make this better for the communtiy, and is his mod, he doesnt fucking force u to play it does he? and no he doesnt HAVE TO hear u gabble, and cuz its such a pwnage mod, everydoes play with him even though somethings there they dont like.. look at 2.0, he kinda fucked the bounce up when people whored it, we still lived with it.. stfu m8 :\

¬_¬ ur exagurating shit. u know that would never happen as no1 wouldnt play it... jesus trying to make the game play better is better than making it easier for each position

u would get other positioned player flaming gg you...

and whoever said Here's one for you. THEY CAN'T QUAD JUMP IN SOCCER. 0mgr0fltakeitawayplz or die. (Thx to priior for his guide.)

Shev you shouldn't even have the right to speak, your arguments are worthless and empty of sense...

Before anyone else post read this :

I am not doing this thread to whine about offense tricks being taken away. It's an open message to the DB crew. If you're going to flame me, to post some shitty comments, get the fuck out. Trash your computer and go kill yourself for christ's sake. This is not ''déjà vu'' or ''Surge-like''

Oh and berk, leave the personal hate behind or just do what I sai d, ^ above.

You may do well to notice that there are also a lot of people who have stuck with Deathball for well over a year (myself included) because of how good Team Vortex have made it. Just trust that they really DO know what they are doing and stop worrying about it.

I've been playing DB for alot longer than a year, I know what it is... I've always hated new patches at first, then I'd start playing it and my hate dissapeared, it's always the same. But now, I don't feel like talking about each and everything I'd like to change, because it's not my job... I'm only saying, one, large opinion. Don't remove what makes the game Deathball unique to replace it with a soccer-oriented mod.
