pbox camping + shoot power?

Post by **DavidM** » 08-12-2003 03:16

ok, my idea here

I wanna increase the powerup time by about 0.2secs
but the shoot power will increase by the same percentage

that way we get the def outta the box.
so when you are not being attacked when you are 25-30 meters away from goal you have a good chance of scoring (at the moment you have to get at the line or into the box to get a dangerous shot, which is about 20meters)
so defenders have to get out more and pressure you earlier

I hope it won't have any other bad side effects /o\
dont know how this affects 1on1's or so
will have to test... 0_o

oh and maybe the shaketime will have to be increased too (the time in which the ball goes off overloaded after youve been tackled, 0.7s atm)

Definetly do it, although if you increase shake time I say increase it by only 0.1s. Just so we know, what is the current total charge time?

1.25s

i like but dont' change the oc too much becuase other wise it will be to easy to get the second hit so watch the balance

getting rid of pbox camping is good but the balance is pretty close right now don't mess with it too much. thx

lol nice avatar niarb

Well it would help, it also does affect 1v1 play because sometimes the keeper likes to hit the shooter forcing him to shoot. If the shooter charges at a faster rate then he might get less time to come back into the keep area zone.

DavidM may not understand me but I'll bet most keepers do.

I think this could work, give it a go.

So this is just like adding an extra 0.2 seconds to the chargeup, and that 0.2 seconds is more powerful than the normal chargeup?

kewl

you said "increase by the same percentage".

Hardly an explicit definition.

it will work, its just a matter of playtesting and tweaking until the gameplay is fair for both sides

i say try it

try it out

even though i dont see Pbox camping as a huge problem, the extra chargeup could overall make it a better game because it will allow people to shoot from outside when the options are otherwise null

as for the shake time, i dont think this should be increased, because an increase would make getting 2nd hit easier, which would pretty much make this pointless

however, we shall see

as a sweeper i never pbox camp, lol but im not sure if im happy with this.... sometimes there is the moment when all guys are covered *(boosting back , etc )* when they are on the pboxline, now people have to boost back faster or it will be a goal,

2. When i hit someone he can load faster so the shot will be faster before i get the chance to him again? i think you have to equally change the hit time..
