Okay, I was just wondering about the ball speed. Why was it lowered again?

I don't think its right that the ball speed is being lowered without players approval. But what Can you do, right? And no, I'm not complaining so don't jump at me. Just asking questions.

Well, I think we should have a vote to see if the active players like the current ball speed, or if they like the older high setting for the ball speed.

Recently some players have been getting less and less active without any real reason. Perhaps they're not fond of the new ball speed and have given up on trying to relearn some of the lines in the game. Not saying THAT'S the case, but could be one of the reasons, you know?

Kids can just run through lines now and what not. I understand Jitspoe want's to make this game realistic, but is strafe jumping realistic?

I'm Pretty sure there has been post on this before?

Was just wondering if the ball speed will stay the same...Or change again? Thanks in advance.

I'd like active players to vote. No disrespect but I just want to see how the players feel without admins or mods voting on it. That is, if you're active

I can't say too much on the new ball speed's effect on gameplay-- I really haven't noticed anything, but I don't memorize any lines for maps or anything-- but if you're playing a game that's in alpha, you're going to have to accept that changes are going to be made. Big ones, probably. What happens when, say, a new map format comes along? Then you'd have to learn completely new maps! The horror.

I voted new, by now most of the good active players are used to it, and to change it again is going to be horrible.

the ball speed is server controlled. Jits only turned down the default speed.

We know that, but its nice to be able to go to servers with the same ball speed, because if 1 group of servers change, then it will be different to others.

Last time I checked, the ball speed resets to jit's default when the map changes.

Also, I believe this was changed a few years ago and I do not believe any server admins have changed the speed.

i didnt even check there was a differecne lol

im sure most don't want it changed again, it would cause more complaining.

I'm not even sure how to vote for this one, since we had to get used to the new one either way, and i wouldn't want it changed again.

Definately the new one is the better. The older one was way too fast!

Is the ballspeed in the eR33t match servers different than the pubs? It seems if I go from superman's pub or any other pub for that matter and into an eR33t match server the speed is different. I'm gonna try to get a set distance and see where the balls fall in different servers to compare if it is different or not.

Yea, I don't know.

Not really complaining or nothing. The new ball speed is fine and all.

Just wanted some opinions on it, ya know?

Seems like, when I go on different severs, I have to re-adjust my prediction... If that makes sense to any of you.

Some of you said, it's server side settings, right? Is it possible to make it client side? Or what?

Client side?

Seriously dude.

Hm? I'm just asking questions, lmao.

skitzo · « **Reply #16 on:** January 26, 2009, 02:46:10 PM »

If it was made client side, everyone with sense would boost it up all the way so as long as you were aiming at them it would hit them. instantly. there wouldn't be any dip, time to avoid, anything.

if its to high all it does is end up bouncing off the guy so that wouldnt really help :X

Gamabunta · « **Reply #18 on:** January 27, 2009, 05:46:14 AM »

I'm all for faster balls, was it 300fps? I couldn't get used to lower ball speed last year, now any newbie can just walk across a line from autococker or carbine. In this poll, is new ball speed 285 and old one 300 fps or so?
edit: nvm got it

lekky · « **Reply #19 on:** January 27, 2009, 09:52:42 AM »

I stopped playing just after the increase, and just coming back can really tell the difference. (Disclaimer: I may have said something different originally)

Poll

Which do you feel was better?
