Rageball

[Froto_the_Loc]

I just had to fight an agility S key hero because he kept spawning right on top of me.
This went on for five minutes, no time to even see where the ball was.

Spawning in the targets is just ridiculous. Players should spawn on their own goal with a longer respawn.
I see no room for any ranged builds. (Maybe throwing)
Fun.

TIME TO MAKE 36 AGILITY 12 ATHLETICS CHAR

Just had a kickass time, and I only have 6 athletics. It's not all based on speed, being in the right place at the right time helps. We need an NA server.

Truth to be told, if you have a problem with spawnraping and endless fights - I'm afraid I have to tell you - You're doing it wrong!

You will soon understand the reason for respawning where you died. Forget comparing it with other gamemodes. We had a spawn close to your own goal in beta, it wasn't that good. People were suiciding to intercept attacking players with the ball. It was just a matter of luck if somone spawned between you and the goal or not. It also gave more power to those trying to kill all the time.

Currently, killing doesn't mean a lot, unless it is in the right time at the right place. If you play with people who know what they are doing, it often happens that you are standing right next to an enemy in midfield and neither is attacking the other one. Because it would be useless.

In the public server, people still play it like deathmatch, I expected nothing less, it takes time to get used to it. In a week, things will look different.

Long story short: don't fight unless needed.

(BTW, STR defines how far you can throw)

its brilliant,  just the way it is!  already seen a few specialized chars going at it.  jolly fun chaps

[Paul]

We have a special map for that, Plazek's old Javelinball scene. Will test it later today on the 22nd server.

[Diablo]

Good mod!

Suggest :
the ball should be heavy to run harder.
It will play better as a team

lol this reminds me the medieval football

I don't think a further slow-down while carrying the ball is needed. One can circumvent the slowdown with dribbling anyway. The reason way so many successful break-aways happen at the moment is that people are retarded. They play like little children play football, a huge blob of players running after the ball, no matter if they can reach it or not.

Instead of this, taking semi-fixed positions seems so much more clever. One or two defenders staying back can intercept most through ball attemps and can be used for emergency back passes. Wingers are usually free of man-marking and provide excellent pass targets. The rest of the team can be central midfielders and forwards.

skip the fun char should be removed from this game mode,and removed from game. One dude created stf char with over 30 agi and with ball no one can catch him. he always win for his team. it is stupid,and not fair.
Respawn time should be 30 sec,and frends and enmies are spawning at same place. that is also lame.

[Spawny]

Sounds great!

I can't wait to test it out today. I hope everyone will get used to the controls fast so we can have epic matches.

What I saw was one team surrounding the enemy spawn with 6 or more players, killlign the other team as they spawn, and scoring goal after goal.

The mod rageball really fun!

Some others suggestions:

- As in the server duel, it might be fun to have the teams with the same clothes (colors)
- An element to recognize camps of the teams (ex : flags)
- A map-like football stadium

Congratulations again for this mod

I would recommend fixing dribbling. Its lame and circumvents the slowdown. Which isnt severe enough, although it might become better has tactics in the game increase.

Best team death match mod I've played in a while
