adressing boosting/boost trick
screwing around on a 1.7 server last night with the older version a KEY element in DB was taken away from us!
THE NINJA STEAL!
Ninja Steal = a same team player being boosted to catch an enemy ball mid-flight.
The problem is that you can no longer do this steal if boosted by a friendly to intercept an enemy ball BUT you can be boosted by an enemy player to grab a friendly ball and take it up field.
This basically means that people will let enemies run closly behind them and try to shell out a boost trick because its still possible using the enemy as the booster.
What problem this creates is it makes all boost timing perfected by myself and others to do the ninja steal COMPLETELY USELESS.
Can a change be adressed so when you pick up an enemy ball durring a boost you maintain momentum? right now, the boost prevention hinders the game more than it helps it IMO. Does it work? yes, but still this is a flaw thats pretty stupid because its not abusing an easy scoring method but instead a difficult defensive method.

uhh allright
NA = trickwhores? I guess it's a bit farfetched but give the man a break =/ If he hadnt given a strange name and he didnt have a bad reputation like that most of u hadnt even posted.
I'm sure in theory its all nice and stuff but it seems easy enough to just intercept in a normal way or w8 in the pzone ^^; (yay )
IMO A boosttrick shud really be put back into db, but harder to pull off (i have no idea how tho), coz it's still a team-move, and i kind of liked the tricks about DB. Dont understand me wrong i think teamplay is the most important thing and DB 1.7 is certainly good at this but could u at least make it so that the boosttrick for example only works with 3 ppl?
This would still make it harder to pull off and it's a good team effort, plus it wudnt be that uber effective nemore because of the lower boost power.
