agree. Well, minus the 'boosting crap'

Actually, lets be a serious ghost for the moment $\o/$ What is DavidM's real problem? It was his problem with 2.3 too. He tries too many things all at once. Take the 2.3 keeper, they were given a volley delay, their catch radius was decreased and on top of that the volley radius was decreased below the attackers. 3 things that could have been tried seperately in beta's / public testing for opinion, but instead were put in all at once.

2.4, larger goals and an increased charge - lol. No doubt people are going to reply to this post with 'but keeper volley delay was taken away and the volley radius was increased. Aye what ever, but it doesnt change the fact too many things are tried at once. Its almost as if DB is being rushed, and why now? Its been as good as dead for the past God knows (or cares) how long, and all of a sudden its being rushed into a completely new direction - so naturally the people who have grown used to 2.3 (Because we've been at 2.3 for so long? Maybe) are going to complain or find immediate problems with 2.4. Stop doing things so fast, stop throwing things in all at once - imo (And last time I checked, every one was entitled to their opinion - This being aimed at DavidM for putting me down for every comment I make)

No this post isnt a personal shoot at you DavidM, as much as you'd like it to be just so you can shoot back. Its my opinion on whats been done.

edit: woo my biggest post yet $\o/$

edit2: Now Cata cant blame me for automatically putting myself off X-Ball without second thought

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

To me 2.3 seems horrible to play after experiencing 2.4.

Ask said before by Pok

2.4 is great for 5vs5 matches, but please be aware that a public 5vs5 on big maps
will never get filled up with players.
Current state of almost all servers.

So whats your plan on 3vs3?, its a crap with the big goals, to easy to score.

Is it possible to decrease volley lantency
for 3vs3 a bit and decrease goals as well?

Otherwise I won't be funny anymore for
3vs3, and I think less people play at pubs

BTW:
If you make something for 3vs3, the Hinterhof goes back to 3vs3, just make a 4vs4 that the specs don't have to wait toooo long

Anyway good work, especially the newbouncing rules

disagree. learn to play current 3on3 right

its good fun

I've been searching all trough the old topics but I cant seem to find it..
What was the way again to make two db clients; one for the current version and one for the beta?

NoSexualFreak · Post by **NoSexualFreak** » 27-09-2005 22:22

i asume make /deathball (2.3 files) and /deathball1 (2.4 files).. whateva u feel like playing, rename to /deathball.

if you cba to learn 3v3, stick to 2.3 atm.
