Double teaming...

I think something to help the problem of double teaming ought to be a high priority for 1.2...The fact is, a ton of a-hole players who aren't really involved in the forums or the game go around intentionally double teaming people in the back, and generally messing around. All the good players usually are against double teaming unless it's invited, so I think we should throw them a bone and allow for some kind of duel mode, where you can challenge someone and then neither of you can be hit by anyone else until the duel is over. Just like JK2. I don't think it would take too much coding really, at least not any more than some of the other less important changes that are being made.

-edit - The JK2 was suggested before, it is a good idea. But I don't think it'll happen. But in meantime:
You don't like double teaming , go play a FFA game.

Its called "Team Mode" for a reason, so get used to it.

I don't cry when people double team me, I eaither pound em or get pounded, eaither way you take your medicine and you like it or you leave.

i think the duel mode would be a good idea for a ffa game, i'm sure anyone who's played jk2 will agree it is very cool for practicing with your buddies without getting interferered with

Hahaha, remember me Dr.? Im Cell (Also Cell Form 2 when transformed) I was owning you

This is esf not jk2.

It would be anoying if someone did a duel with another person and another person doesn`t know they are dueling thinks too be smart, charges a spirit bomb and fire at them.

BOOM you charged 30 sec for nothing.

And it could be spammed.

As I recall if one offers a duels he can`t be harmed for 5 seconds.

So someone wants to melee you and you duel fast another person.

So it also has many downsides.

Edit: Don`t wanna be a mod but your post UltraPerfectCel is offtopic.

PM him <img src="http://forum.esforces.com/images/sendpm.gif">
about previous fights.

no because you challange and the other has to accept, there is no 5 second thing that you speak of, have you actually played jk2????
IMO this would be a great feature to esf, think about it, you could have a good 1 v 1 with out getting double teamed and tossed around by over son's of........

Yes i did and i asked my brother about this but its a server option of 5 secs of invulnability.

all of the servers i've been on i've never seen such an option, but i guess this is going kinda off topic anyway..... sorry mod's

The best way to deal with double teaming is just set the scouter to radar and teleport like crazy to avoid them, isnt much more than that

I agree with you as beam spammers are the bane of esf but i have to disagree with a dual mode. I can however agree with a tournament mode in addition to a ffa, team and Capture mode. Just make it so that only 2 people can play as fighters at a time and the rest a specs' (specs without bodies that cant fight but only watch). When someone wins a fight his hp and ki are refilled and the next player in line enters the game and the lose becomes a spec at the end of line.

thats like the Duel game type in jk2, that would be cool, but also i think a duel challange mode would be good fun too.... any ideas if a thread has been started about a challange feature? if not maybe someone should start one

I see double teaming as a part of the game, as cookster said, there is team mode in the game for a reason, I help my teammates often, if I see a guy getting whomped I'll step in and hit his opponent when he's not looking devgrin: )

if I get double teamed well I guess I just get double teamed then.

yeah, i'm talking about in FFA mode not TFFA, i think TFFA is cool and people should expect to get double teamed coz its a team game lol but in ffa its nice to have some control on who you are fighting

I don't see what the problem is. I welcome people playing a team, and tossing me around like a bean bag. It's inspiring to see people turnin me to a bloody mess... Although, it's rare. I can usually handle myself when it comes to two people. I may not always be able to fight them both, but I can usually get away.

It's a fun part of the game, I don't see why you're griping about it.

I don't like being one of the double teamers, however.... I wanna work for my own kills. Fight for each one. I don't find much satisfaction is working together to defeat a most likely weaker opponent through a battle I could just as easily have done myself... But that's just me.

Well this is popular thread. Anyway, I do understand how some people enjoy being double teamed because of the challenge, but I just don't usually enjoy it. I don't want to have to whine, but if I feel I'm being robbed of kills by cheap double teamers, and thus of PL that I sorely need, it's really frustrating. I think team games are for avoiding double teaming, not making more of it, I'm not sure what you guys are thinking. The whole point of team games is that half the people on the server are not trying to attack you if you go ssj or something and become really strong. You have people that will gladly attack and thus tie up one of the enemy, so you don't get overwhelmed. But when many n00bs are on, or the teams aren't balanced, double teaming still happens some, and it gets very frustrating. Even if I can teleport away, I can't finish off the person I was attacking, because every time i melee him i'll be hit in the back. I can't teleport around forever evading unless I'm transed, and I'm usually not (I fight descended as much as possble, if I didn't double teaming would be even worse, everyone would attack me and I'd lose big time PL). Melee double teaming just isn't fun for me, and I wish other people would avoid it unless I request it. Or at least, there should be options for servers to discourage it, as I said. Obviously not all servers would have this, but some would be nice. 1v1 duels are very cool when both people are good, and when you're double teamed you can't play nearly as well. Oh and btw Cell, yes you were kicking my ass But that's cuz I was Krillin and couldn't trans. If I was transed, I think I would have proved more formidable...look for me on the esforces servers.

I think you solved your own problem. If you're getting whooped by two or three people at a time, that's one or two people who aren't occupied on YOUR team... Just call for some help.

Kinda hard to do tho, in the middle of a melee fight. Guess I could try some binds. But then again, I'll get flamed even more for constantly asking for help against double teamers. Right now I've got like 10 people that hate me because I complain about double teaming. THey're always on too lol. Esforces servers are becoming inhospitable...

although getting melee double teamed sucks it not that bad(just tele after you hit one of them and only go after that one. You can keep an eye on the other with the radar), what i think most people are referring to is that idiot that hides behind the mountain in spec mode and beam spams everyone. Then they refuse to do anything else, even if you start hitting them with melee. they still ONLY beam. and not even you. still other people.

hey how about if they put an option to enable server side which only allowed a player to be targetted by one person, that wouldn't stop doubling teaming, but it would certainly cut it down....

Well I'll be-jiggered, it must be one of the a-holes!

Double teaming didn't piss me off in 1.0 as much because pl loss/gain wasn't borked like it is now. When I die because some **** nails me in the back, I lose like 20k pl, and that's just not cool.
