Back to 1.6 Gameplay it would be better for Deathball.

I say back to 1.6 Gameplay. u say "Y?"

I will tell it to you.

Since 1.7 there were removed many "lame tricks", but how can decided what lame is and what not.
okay the Deathball team can decided it, but it would be better if you woudn't remove "lame tricks".
When i go today on a FFA server there are players who play since 1 week and they want to tell me what to do.
I'm tired of boosting, playing volleys in the third jump etc.(btw are there more options in deathball (yeah i know there :eek: ))
Let the n00bs be n00bs and don't let them be masters of deathball after a few days.

I will loose satisfaction on DB in a few weeks if there won't be a big changing

YAY @ denglish

1.8 was actually fine. Boost goals weren't that much of an advantage (like broomsticks were)

now offense just isnt fun.

Back to 1.6? o0 back to 1.8 + dribbling + more speed + more aircontrole+ strafejumping + larger maps + better gameplay ^^. 1.9 is unsmooth somehow. I think it's the new volleyradius o0 did they decrease the boostradius too? felt like that :x
boostlaming is still easy but it's annoying as hell if you can't pass to someone in front of your pbox cause everybody was boosted :o

All in all I have to agree with kermit :x
It gets boring too fast if you can't do any specials. I don't think that lame moves are special moves but at least something different. even if you had some good ideas for more ways to score or gameplay improvements davidm wouldn't accept them anyway. I don't know why there was a 1.9 beta because 1.9 has more bugs than 1.8...

1.5/1.6 was the beginning of the downfall of DB.

Agreed.. =)

Only actually played 1.9 for about 5 mins or less, but there was any instantly noticable changes so it was quickly uninstalled.

1.4b may have had lots of bugs, but I still think its the best version imo at least =)

What's a bounce volley? n00b cannon?

Noooo....holding down alt-fire so the ball bounces off u... at the minute it is very irregular, sometimes works, sometimes not, and sometimes it shoots off at a silly speed.

Is it me, or am I in the minority using this?
