[Feedback] Ballgame will be better when ball spawns in the court where was scored

like how it is in basketball
u get the ball after the enemy scores

i think this way its less a campfest around the spawnpoint and it will be alot easier to set up some form of grouped attack like in basketball
(u move to O together and cover ball carrier and make plays)

this insight i arrived at playing couple games of ball

great idea! that way when someone scores he can just pick it up again and shoot it right back in the goal over and over!!!






no.

should probably be accompanied by a forced respawn if implemented.

no.

thats exactly how it is now

u could let it spawn in base
where the whole team spawns
if the nmy can score over and over from there well u better give up anyway

yes forced respawn could be necessary dunno
might be a bit annoying though
the idea is to give the other side the ball after a score
how that can be done is subject to experimenting

I think that it's actually a good idea, with forced respawns so it IS more like basketball. Because honestly, the way it is now is no better than the enemy scoring over and over. They just score, run back and grab the ball from the center, score again. You never have to go back to your side.

Either way, eh...lol :) Doesn't matter now, game is GOLD :)

well there will be at least 1 patch :)

forced respawn could be done with some sort of timer so u can readjust and have new team orders

like theres a score and then u got 5 secs for next spawn

but this has tobe tried to see the obvious flaws

best way is to have the ball spawn in secured area only 1 team can pick it up (also needs a timer or u can leave it when u 2-1 ahead)

ball in your base and a forced respawn w/ ability to spawn at middle as well as the base would be hawt

ball, as it is in teh beta, is one of the most unfun games i've ever played.

Ball should have been like Death Ball w/ Jet packs :(

DeathBall > Ball/TR2/ what ever :(

ye

but howto make it better thats the question

:signed: x 1,000,000. Very nice idea... simple, intuitive, and radically game-enhancing.

Ball definately needs a tweak like this, as it's not very fun the way it is now. Plus getting the ball after being scored on would DEFINATELY encourage regrouping and teamwork as opposed to the camping/cowboying festival it is now. Having the ball spawn in your spawn area would work best, IMO. The enemy could still try and camp there as opposed to in the middle, but it would be much harder for them to succeed. Also, there could be a X second period where only the defending team could pick up the ball if needs be.

Forced respawns are completely unnecessary though, as the 'defending' team could choose to respawn at base at any time in order to get the ball or clear out their spawn area. The pickup delay could allow people to respawn and get the ball before the enemy even if a respawn timer was in effect.

or eff ball and wait for a non crappy TR3

the ball needs to move FASTER for crisssakes.

and the goalie should have a magnetic gun to help him reel it in.

i want the ball to arc and have nearly the speed of a disc. it would make passing MUCH cooler and done more often. as its right now its too slow.

well actually theres elements in ball that are fun
but its very unpolished

so some more suggestions could be welcome

id also like the ballcolor changed to something very visible and maybe give it a big(ger) iff

I agree the ball should move much faster. I understand that they didn't want it to be easy to hit long-range shots, but with a goalie that's paying attention long-range shots should be blocked anyway.
nd the goalie should have a magnetic gun to help him reel it in.
SOMETHING certainly has to be done to help goalies. As it is now it's pretty damn impossible to block shots due to how easily the goalie gets knocked around / killed. Maybe the goalie should have a lot more mass and be immortal? Of course this means designating a specific person 'THE goalie', which currently isn't done.

Edit: Yeah, my two points kinda are kinda paradoxical, but if both changes are made then there isn't a contradiction.

yeah its tough because you can see that in order to be fair to what could be a VERY cool gametype, it'll have to be fully fleshed out mod.

maybe the devs can help oversee someone working on it. i dont see them as making a magnetic gun model for a goalie any time soon.

love the sound efx though.

also, it'd be nice if the ball "lit up" like the jetfire from a player so it was more visible as it flew. maybe like dragon ball z ppl playing ball.

nah give it a halo of light, that'll look cooler as it flies ;)

unpolished isn't the word, its unfinished ;)

u could use buckler as blocking instrument
maybe add some functionality (magnetism?) to it

sorta reversed push effect (attract ball effect)
