Rageball Goalkeeper

[Overdriven]

Why the heck is this allowed? Half the time I was being shot at whilst trying to get the ball to put it back into play after a scored goal. There were two Draconian guys in particular who made it their lifes aim to kill me over and over as goalkeeper. I don't play rageball often but this has put me off it a bit. It's just a bit stupid. In that first screenshot you can see 5 ranged shooting me all at once (the jumping guy is a thrower and guy with cleaver had a bow):

I can see how it could possibly make sense when the ball is close. But it was at the other end of the pitch

Wow you really caught those guys red handed, you are right though, they have no right to do that, it just makes the goal keeper play style a misery Need to think of a way to limit this shit...

Make Goalie invulnerable?

[Turboflex]

No rules!! The problem could easily be solved by one of your teammates coming back to attack them, forcing them to fight him while you moved the ball.

Make Goalie invulnerable?

It could be fine, with the condition that he makes no damage. Otherwise, it would be easy to kill attacker who come close to the goalzone

What's the point of not allowing melee players to attack the goalie, but ranged can?

But if you're going to make a rule that you can't shoot at the goalie (which would make sense to me) you'd also have to make it so the goalie can't shoot out of the goalie crease as well.

I apologize for my friends harassing you like that, though your teammates could have easily killed them.
It's funny since I was on your team and my mates were on the opposite, our team had no defence.

I had lots of fun listening to them giggling and laughing in teamspeak btw.

Precisely. There's no point in the circle if ranged can shoot into it.

First of all, i saw you shooting/killing other players as well while you played goalkeeper, it's kinda unfair that you can kill other players, but when other players kill you, you're gonna report them? Seriously..

Also, why only post about us as "those draconian guys", surely we weren't the only ones.
You could also just ask your teammates to kill the people that attack you.
 
Anyway, it's kind of lame that you're insulting other players while you were attacking them as well.

[Overdriven]

I shoot the ones carrying balls towards the goal. Or the ones killing me. Otherwise I didn't. I'm fine with the keeper being able to deal no damage as it should work both ways.

You were the most persistant. You did it for an entire map. Most killed me once then went away.

I don't believe I insulted anyone?

[Rumblood]

While they are attacking you, they aren't at the other end getting the ball and preventing scores on their own goal. So it is only a minor issue of you care about winning.

Once the new scoring system I saw proposed gets implemented, this really won't be a problem I don't think. Especially if experience and gold gets tied to "rageball" points and not kills or time in game. They will have incentive to do productive things.

No need to make them invulnerable or prevent them from attacking once that is in.

It makes the goalkeepers life a misery. So yeah it should be changed.

"You did it for an entire map"? Stop telling lies please...

"There were two Draconian guys in particular who made it their lifes aim to kill me over and over as goalkeeper"
You're insulting Dragonian clan here aren't you?

There's no insult there  Just a statement of fact.

And yeah you did do it for the entire map. I took particular note of you as the second picture with all the javs is entirely your work.

Picture 2 does not  prove i was throwing javs, neither does picture 1.  If you want to prove that i was attacking you, at least take  pictures that actually prove anything.
Btw,  i think you're reply can be counted as an insult to me , or am i wrong?

 I  think this will be my last reply for this topic, i'm not gonna start a pointless internet discussion, which i probably already did but whatever .
