it looks cooler ingame

 

[imported_Mystix]

joe is the man, what more can be said?

 

[majin goketa]

That looks Cool, I can't believe the amount of stuff they're adding for 1.2. This Mod looks like it's going to be better than most games I've played.

personally....i dont think the bubble idea is good....its a good thing to be able to beam people while they melee fight other people, true its annoying, but its a good thing and if there was say...3 people in a game, 1 person would have to sit there and watch while the other 2 play and have fun....LAME ><

 

[ScavengeR]

i think there should be a client side cvar to enable/disable the bubble..
probably does look better ingame as u say hibz, but i think it would be easy enough to tell whether they're engaged in a melee battle or not without the bubble.

how about having the bubble only while the players are inputing directions?

 

[Hibiki]

well as with most things in the beta its all a work in progress

so chances are stuff like this will got through alot of changes before the final version


and yeah that picture doesnt really do it much justice looks so much cooler and nicer in game

But wouldn't doing this make beams basically useless? I think beams should have some knock back or something. Now every one is going to be using melee and forget about beams.

Sure, that is how it is now in 1.1, but then beams are just going to be a side weapon to spawn kill and sneak attack people, rather then using a beam in an actual fight(like a quick shot in between doing a combo). I know it is still beta, but I think fighting should be balanced between beams and melee, so that both people who choose to use a way have an even chance.

watch dbz


do u see anyone spamming beams over and over and over again??

nope i dont dbz is like 95% melee



and who says beams are useless??

seems to me there just as good as ever perhaps even better due to some of the new stuff on the beams

nope i dont dbz is like 95% melee

and frowing renzokus,kiblasts,stufffff....

But that bubble is showing when some1 is fighting so its like a shield...so better when some1 shoots ya with beam the bubble shows then (like a real shield).And what if some1 shoots a mountain near the fight....the explosion will damage teh melee fighter?

The very thought of how nice that will look in full movement has caused me to soil myself in anticipation.

 

[CrackerJack]

I think.. that you should be able to enable/disable the buble (the spr, so it doesnt show). Or maybe ill just have to get rid of it myself when 1.2 comes out

 

[Mastasurf]

Trust me, when your start playing you will appreciate the bubble. Many times have I found myself swooping at 2 people who are already in a melee fight. You are very vulnerable while in a melee fight. That's why I thought the bubble was a good idea. Also, when a melee fight finishes both players and beams within a certain range will be pushed back to avoid being camped. :0)

No, it's lame when you're in a melee fight and you get beams shuved up your ass. It's not like melee fights take all day. You're not going afk for 10 minutes and comming back still seeing the same people in the same melee battle.
I'll think about making it a cvar, but it wont be my fault when you join a server and people cremate your ass with beams.

But wouldn't doing this make beams basically useless? I think beams should have some knock back or something. Now every one is going to be using melee and forget about beams.

Beams are just as effective as they were in the past, if not more. Swooping takes more ki and it's slower then before as well. Unless you like killing people who can fight back, I would see it as a good thing...

That would fit under the 5%

Think of the bubble like god mode, exploding it next to them wont hurt them, you'll just be wasting your KI. I suppose you can relate it to the dueling system in JK2.

On a general note we're also going to speed up melee quite a bit once we implement the new blocking system. The main reason I slowed it down is it becomes impossible to block. Everything comes out of the center so it's next to impossible to tell what direction comes out first. Since we'll be changing the icons and how it's displayed, we should beable to speed it up quite a bit..

oh my god i have soiled myself once again the esf team has proven that they are better then some "offiicial" game making companies and alot better then other mods keep it up guys you guys are doing an awesome job. also with beams i dont know if anyone has asked but will there be an option to do like a big melee combo and then end it with some super fast multi kiblasts or generic ki beams ? still melee looks awesome keep up the good work

 

[MONXver2.0]

Nice work, but one question. If you hit some one with a heavy attack when their at say 10% will they turn into gibs?

 

[Hibiki]

rofl i hope not would be just strange to see people explodeing when u punch them

 

[Magmus]

question: Do these bubbles explode outwards with every puch like in the show with shockwaves ripling out from the force of the blows?

 

[Ultimate 17]

Finally-- a solution to the beam spamming. Now when I enter a server and there's a 5mil pl Buu spamming mouthblast, I wont get hit as long as I'm in a battle!

OMG............

Saying the ESF Team members are geniuses is the understatement of the century.
