1.9 Wishlist! - Click HERE for Original Thread
Fallen
Since 1.8 has come and been out for about half a week, I'd thought I would start this thread. Looking back at this version, I think its a more polished version of 1.7. Other than the addition of the deflection, which when I read in the version changes, I didn't understand what it was.

Things I would like see in 1.9:

-New Hud (Look forward guys, need to make the mod more unique)
-New Map (like a stadium type map set in a the summer time with real hanging banners)
-Cube beefed down alittle with new walls, I find blue team has an advantage because sometimes they are camaflouged when looking afar.
-How about getting a new ball model put in.
-Intro movie (yes, it is necessary for n00bs) <-- helps to grow the db fan base
-Take out bot support until its fully ready to be impletmented

Ill post others when I finally think of good ideas.
Tankazz
Make the deflection system an optional feature, like sprinting and bananas.
Fallen
no deflection is fine, buggy, put it should be implemented and kept. All it needs, is to be tweaked like less powerful when bounced off the other guy. Currently the physics of it is wierd, but I'm sure it will be liked by all.
Twigstir
Bots in 1.8 are much better. The coders did a nice job so far.

- taking out bot support would never be good. Informing people that the bot support is not full operational yet is the proper direction to go.

Edited to suit my needs :p

I think bots and movie/tutorial shud go up front (in that order, bold = more important imo). Then the replays, ball and hud (also in that order \o/) would be nice to give it more of a special look, these are simply because of the graphics, nothing to do with gameplay, altho those last three (in italic :o) arent that important it would make the mod a lot leeter ^^

About deflection, if some things are fixed (as said: less power and no deflection off teamies (maybe only altfire-pass = no deflection), also maybe more logical deflection X_X f.e.: balls shooting from front out of ass =\) then im sure every1 would like it. I wouldnt mind if it was not optional.

- Horses (or Battlecats)
- Rocket launchers hidden in the crotch area
- Lots of pictures on the walls of naked blonde women getting shit on their chest from hairy Canadian guys called Surge... ooo I think I just come
- More scat
- Instead of "Surprising volley by...", "Ass-raping delivered by..."
- New sexually explicit models created with poser
- The skins for the new models have cross-eyes and goofy teeth, and uneven breasts

Thats all that I can think of right now.

Edited: Made a mistake on the chestdump bit.
Surge
chrisfu.. you have issues...

#1 will never be ultimately solved because when new options are impletmented, there is room for new bugs. We can live with a few crashes here and there and the shoot bug, which only happens once or twice now in a 30 min game.

#2 Hell no, this is the stupidest idea I've heard. What is the point of this? One on one against the keep? Usually you should score.

#3 Icedemon is fine. It's playable on my system. Clarify what is wrong with your view of the map.

#4 New model would be nice but not necessary. Like the Ball Model, they shouldn't be first proirity, maybe 5th or 6th priority on the list.
InSaNe
I basically want everything Bullet said.

One on ones are pointless unless you're against me or gnomeh, or some other 1337 keeps, then it's ok but other than those keepers, the shooter will pwn.

I would like dribbling back, it's so gay how hard you work to get open and the defense comes crawling back to hit you and make a shakey. You should be rewarded and dribble your way to pwnage ;)

Also, new HUD as Bullet said, must be unique.

Also new maps, the new SmallCube has turned ultimatly(sp?) gay, I haven't found anything gayer than it, hell GreenBaize is better than SC now, at least when SC was around in 1.6 people actually played in pubs now it's no one in pubs unless they're screwing around, NA has pugs now, since SC is gayer than ever.

These are just suggestions, no body should take em personally, but these are the ideas that I think would make DB a much better game/mod to play.

BTW what happened to that petition to put DB as regular game, any new word on that?

It should always be first priority to kick out old bugs. New bugs with new features, yeah, shit happens, but i meant it would be fine if shotbug and so on where gone. I also know that they couldn t find out where the bug comes from, so it won t be solved right now. But this is a wishlist, so put it in. Ask deus, someone was alone at our goal and then he bugged, guess he s soooo happy bout that bug.

#2 Hell no, this is the stupidest idea I've heard. What is the point of this? One on one against the keep? Usually you should score.


I AM keeper and i DO like 1on1s! And the chance to stop the shooter is way higher than catching a volley. It s nothing for the league, but for cups it would be very nice. Usually the shooter should score, but is it sth else in football? Davidm placed points in the penzones for further usage ... think THOSE shots are even more unkeepable than anything else!

#3 Icedemon is fine. It's playable on my system. Clarify what is wrong with your view of the map.


errr I don t mean that. I mean the Goals are too big and the Penaltyzones too small. The zonelines are excluded from the zone, that irritates me. And in low quality those lines are way too fat, u don t have a clue where the zones end.

It s my wishlist, MY!!!! kthxwhosnext? :p
Sycophant
- More officially supported maps (bring back sediment and ship)
- Swap it so you hear the click noise when you get the ball and you hear the adrenaline sound when others catch it. The click sound is more defined and should be for when you have the ball.
- More announcer comments (the 'keeper held the ball too long' now applies to defenders too).

As these are very minor suggestions, it would appear I'm happy with 1.8. Very happy!

1.9 Wishlist!

#1 - Old DB-Curve (from 1.6 and before) \o/

#2 - More un-cubified maps

#3 - More new players
Imo
turn down the charge of the gun... you had it right in version 1.7 and broke it again.
Diab
I would say we need....Skins for red and blue teams, something easy to tell but original at the same time.

new hud, im sick of the ut2k3 one now :P
Astroboy
Heh.. 1on1s are... more or less a 90% chance to score, even vs. you Gnomeh :P

Maybe on a pub you can stop 1on1s... but... against decent shooters... hell even against ME I doubt you'd stop too many of them :P


I like this version but I've noticed a few odd things happening with sounds.

The chargeup sound doesn't seem to be 3d anymore, it always comes from the 'front', even if the person is charging behind you (could just be me tho).

Sometimes a second or two after I shoot the ball, I'll hear the pass... target sound. It's just weird and makes me think someone caught the ball heh. But again it could just be me.
Fallen
Astro, you think he's some lucky keep who saves the ball? When we had 10 V3 a long time ago online, we went 5v5--original 5 versus new 5. He made the craziest saves that I have not seen done by other keeps. When you consider him going up against our best 2 strikers (Xelent and Bodom), not alot of goalies can keep them off the scoreboard for long time. Why does V3 win? We built upon great offense around our 2 offensive stars, then the rest is behind to close up and mistakes that happens to occur if they give up the ball.

Playing SoP recently this week, we had Xelent, Bodom, Sin, Gnomeh and I playing--as you can see 20:0

But the real thing is, SoP had barely any shots, they had no offense. We had alot of possession in that game.

*Note* -- He was unbeatable at times in 1.6 because of the weapon delay. Now, however he is still good, but he still has yet to return to l33t keeper status of 1.6
theberkin8or
/me thinks gnomeh must watch your gun b4 you shoot
BL44T
and thats foolable =)
theberkin8or
if that is what he does then he obviously pretty good at it becuase most ppl know how to fake a keeper that watchs your gun(and he still saves thier shots), i think it would be interesting if tv made it so that the keeper couldn't see the gun but maybe that would make it too hard on keepers
Astroboy
Dude I know I've seen them play ;>
but I'm talking about a breakaway/penalty shot type of situation (as was suggested earlier).

In those situations if you know how to shoot meaning:
-Strong shot
-Well aimed
-Don't let keeper pressure you into shooting early ;>
-Don't telegraph where you are going to shoot
-Maybe even banana it for a bit of extra l33t

then you will score 90% of the time, regardless of the keep.
BL44T
i wanna spam.

Astroboy
Just for you Bl44t

InSaNe
Astro, listen buddy, Gnomeh is godlike. Hell, he stopped so many shots against Euros in your server! If he was near godlike in your server....What is he in NA servers? He's just hard as hell to fool and he watches your every move, even the ones he doesn't stop, he still reacts to them, like vollies of passes, those shots are around .55-.35. And he STILL reacts to them, which shows his skill.

You'll never know when that bastard is gonna jump out on you, he never jumps out on a regular basis but jumps every once in a while against 1 on 1's, that's what makes him hard to get by, let alone Sin playing D.

I've been up against both of them when I was in Pì, I sucked duh, but I never got to fool Sin or gnomeh, which makes both of them I guess unstoppable with no lag or anything getting in their way. Bullet was also 100% right.


-[V3]InSaNe
Tankazz
Does Gnomeh ever play in public servers? I think I need to watch him play (Cuz I really really suck as keep, except on smallcube (sometimes)) If he's as good as you say he is (not that I doubt you) then I think speccing him might benefit my future keeping ability.
Astroboy
actually.. I'm from NA too :P

In fact I never got to thank anyone from V3 for putting their server up ^__^ ::thanks::

It's like the server I ping best to.




It'd be fun to take practice shots on Gnomeh one day ^__^
I'll bet you tho that Gnomeh makes shooters break uhh.. rule number 3 of scoring:

"-Don't let keeper pressure you into shooting early ;>"

Soooo many shooters are easily tricked.
Surge
i beat Gnome a lot... its not like hes god.

i'll say, sure hes a good keep and all but hes SoL if you get to the top of the Pbox on an open shot.

It all depends how hes playing that day too... sometimes i can totally cream Gnome and sometimes he pisses me off and stops every damn shot.
Fallen
ya surge is right, gnomeh is a type of keep like one day if hes on his game, he will stop every shot and on other days he will look mediocre. But the fact is, he goes against the top shooters on the NA side. I'm trying to change what I said before, but I'm agreeing what Surge said.
Fallen
By the way, he is probably becoming a keeper instructor for the academy idea. I will try to get others to join from such clans as NS, V3, Rush, etc.

We want to promote Deathball, and I think its the best idea at the moment.
MeSSiaH{FCU}
[/pimpage] ?
kuran
I'd really like to see Replays (when someone scores) and custom models for Deathball.

Also, how about adding some features from the game Speedball 2? Which I'm sure has been mentioned here.

Like 'warp holes' in the level, if you throw a ball through one such hole, it comes out through another warp.
How about someone yelling 'Ice cream, Ice cream!' as an ambient sound? :)

If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out this site which has information on Speedball 2.

i'd like to see banners in maps reading "Cenotaph owns j00" :spammer:

Deacan Sharp
first off i want that ninja rope thing i said put in but secondly and most importantly i want this.

In an effort to make this game fucking l33t

i want team sidelines/dugins in each map, here team members/coaches etc can sit and watch and act as reserves.

so if a player goes withing the dugout area then a new player can come onto the field

i want a new character type as coach how has shitloads of orders he can give, - okay probably not a coach actually

instead how about a medic/waterboy who can run around on the field and heal players and make his skin that faggot angry kid one you know the one hey.

there we go
Mayer.hun
Deacan: Teh idea with the player switch sounds good.. but why on earth do we need a coach :? Why is there teh spec if not for that \o/

Anyway... waterboy/medic was mentioned a long time ago... I don't like it specially... because everyone will just scream Medic, and will wait to get fixed on their asses :D
Hoju
Here's my list:

1.) Try hardest to get rid of bugs

2.) gameplay tweaks (fix deflection, other issues)

3.) Improved bots or some kind of tutorial for newbies (would inrease the number of players, most seem to join a pub and get frustrated by the much higher skill and taunting of experienced players and end up quitting almost before they start)

4.) Make DB more of an original mod (HUD changes, new ball, new player models)

5.) Replay system

6.) single player DB

well davidm has said there will be a single player db in the future similar to the single player ut2003. You will have points to put in certain skills and you draft a team, and when you win you can improve the skills etc. etc.
MeSSiaH{FCU}
:( no romantic storyline? :'(

Can i at least have a golden shortname then? :D
Or maybe disco-style =\ Howbout blinking?
2COOL4-U
We're going to provide a real singleplayer experience. It will be a real DB simulation. When you start all the bots will shout at you. They'll have an extensive vocabulary that equals the vocabulary of an avarage deathball player. Expect to see them shout: "N00b" "Pass" "AARGH PASS THE BALL" "BOOST Morron" "Volley only!" and many, many more things a new player experiences. As you can reputation and gain skill they'll start to be more friendly and to beat the game you'll have to do make 20 hattricks in a row with DavidM as your only opponent.

This sounds like it's gonna be sweet. :p

Sweet 8)

But that'd be a waste of time imo.

I think the biggest thing that should be put in is Replay, just to see if anyone was bullshitted on :p
beefsack
db needs more players therefore db needs single player. vortex are putting in single player in an upcoming version. vortex is good. the end.

i guess replays are a part of the SP experience too...i love where db is heading atm :)
