    On topic: Than goodness they've fixed the flying glitch, even thought it was kinda fun.

    News on the flying front - spoke with Geti and he mentioned that scripting could easily encompass flying, so to all you peeps who felt that flying would be cool to have every now and again your party train will come! :D

    Edit~ Woah, I get pretty carried away on my iPod, I write longer posts then I would on my computer!

    Now today was the first day I really played a FullCTF match, and guess what, I LOVED IT!

    I had the most fun with those bouncing mechanics, the amount of fun to be had is just awesome, I started to bounce arrows and bombs, I wrote into the chat,
    'That was an epic bouncing arrow' or 'bouncing is so much fun!'
    No more than two seconds later, on purpose, Exid lit his bomb and bounced a bomb to me as archer and, BOOM, I was gibbed.

    People are whining about the breathing mechanics, I think it is fine, as knight that is, on the map generator with two lakes, when you are accompanied by a small bridge; you can slash jump, skim on your shield and then slash once or twice and you have barely used a bubble of air!

    I actually really enjoyed this build so far, besides or a few dodgy bits of gameplay, I still had a fun time.

    The only thing I can really whine about is shield bashing, it just isn't the same and doesn't feel nice, shieldbashing as of now is glitchy and no fun, yes I sound like a dumb ass saying it was better before with the ping pong effect, but most o the time you wouldn't flip the table over that. I had one guy in a server just jumping to shield, jump shield and so on, he just demolished, I don't want to play like that I just didn't have the feel to shield bash, before it took at least some skill to shieldbash, now you can basically hit someone with your shield and it shield bashes.

    As I write that paragraph I think about the times I have had on Bar Brawl (a great aus RTDM server)
    The one on one all depending on you last round wins.
    The skilled knight vs skilled knight not daring to slash because of the three of being shield bashing.
    The crazy 5 V 1 come back from behind wins which just felt great.

    Don't get me wrong, that was a great time, but I am not another guy saying I want 190 back, I am just pointing out some flaws.

    My Internet was not also top notch tonight so I don't know if some of these flaws were the cause of that (like the enemy being a ball and me literally rolling over them) but somethings still felt dodgy in a slight way.

    I still had a hit of fun, hopped on a mumble server, had a chat, and just had a great time.

    Something I forgot to add is that those tunnels we are/dud build in Raynes server were epic and hilarious, with us healing underwater but tunneling, who said tunneling was impossible, MOLES accept!

    Anyway if some of my post is a tad dodgy I am on my iPod so, yeah, have a great time, and skim that shit!

    Now that i think of it, i think Bomb Flying needs to be removed in water maps, so more or less premium servers, its a good function and a lot of fun in normal maps, but now skilled players can just bomb jump across lakes and such. Causes problems.

    Also, if you're keeping this chop-wood-with-full-counter-creates-pick-upable-wood stuff, then the blocks that fall should be in front of the grass. Otherwise... my God. Also, Builders should be able to hold arrows in their counters. It appears as if I can only hold 'em in my hand, now....

    This is why problems arise, im trying to think for the good of the game, but just because people are using the problem stated as an advantage, they take a defensive stance on it...i know i do it too, because it IS available, and it is fun, but if i had to choose, i think its removing the point of the natural barrier, so it should be gone.
    Edit, if you are gonna fight against the thought, put a reason as to why it should be available, (or make it server option)because archers just got nerf'd hard, i think knights need to not be able to jump to the top of there tower, and then all classes would fit there role.
    Archer on ground not running away = dead
    Knight far away cant do anything about it unless you are for some reason in range of a bomb.
    And this would promote knights shielding there builders to build over water!
    re-edit, irony has it that my title is bomb jumper on the forum lol

    If Others still want Bomb Jumping then reduce the Range of the Bomb Jump Boost :D
    Or just remove when Boats are in.

    Let's be honest here, people in Kag have the mentality of a lone wold and this is observable when I try getting a knight to shield me from enemy snipers while I take them down one by one. On the other hand, I do agree knights being shifted to less competitive role because archers are no longer suitable even at their ranged advantage.

    I feel that all the effort everyone put in their arguments to give the offensive side more power is all gone to waste as everyone is basically camping at their side of the water. Even as an archer, I can see myself "door hogging." If this is what Kag should really be then it's acceptable for a siege game, but it is rather dull.

  15. Don't you even bloody suggest removing bomb jumping. I will kill you and use your genitals as a jumprope for the mere idea of such a prospect. (Bomb jumping is WAY too fun, dude!)

    I allready said it was fun lol, they need to make it a server variable, or remove it (server side variable preffered), i like the jump, but dislike its balance, as archers can do even LESS to bomb jumpers, nevermind getting handled before the nerf lol.
    PS, my genitals, MINE!=.=

    Then you'd better hope that whatever random person happens to be there when you need help is a friend with whom you are voice chatting.
    yea right
