I actually agree with novation here. Since it's definitely Elite but with Improvements (let's just assume it is as simple as that) this Titlepack would probably get enough publicity to justify the time put into it. Even in the case that the TP would get unimportant after a while again, there are things to win out of this.Soprah wrote:I wouldn't recommend to create a new competitive titlepack. There are sooo many titlepacks/modes which were intended to be a competitive titlepacks and they are indeed.
I remember Torrent writing here in the forum, that he makes game modes and TPs mostly for the experience. Sometimes things can be fun to do, even if they don't get the publicity in the end. :D
Also there are only a handful of people that put as much effort into scripting as he does, so I suppose he is one of the most valuable people for feedback on these things for Nadeo. Especially if he continues to try out more new things.
Also, if the TP gets a handful of features that people really wonder, why they are not in Nadeo's modes, they will most probably wish for them to get implemented. Win for everyone.
I actually remember steeffeen being a bit pissed about features being implemented a month after he had to script them himself for his modes. But maybe that's why they got implemented in the first place, who knows. ;D
OT: No one plays competitively with Throwable Ball. Our matches are all played with rockets as the ball.Soprah wrote:Take a look at the speedball titlepack. This gameplay is so innovative such as the feature of throwing a ball!
For the Throwable Ball to be anywhere near competitive, it would need it's own mode with different rules and maps than regular Speedball. It'd be doable for sure, but no one is actually doing it.
Well Speedball has not ONE, not TWO, no, it's got THREE pages of rankings and stats for each match. :Dnovationx wrote:Also, no offense to other titlepack creators, but we're introducing a complete redesign, stats & unique ranking-system. None of this I've seen in SpeedBall ( or at least not at this level. )
But no, I don't think any mode atm has life long stats. So I wonder, do you think you can and/or want to include ranked and unranked matches in the title? Sometimes you just wanna have a fun round without any pressure. That's exactly what I hate about serverstats, they just put you under pressure at times, when you don't feel like giving 100%. i also like the idea that only, and really only, the here and now counts, not what you have done in the past. Rankings suck. :D
Also: Obstacle had a database for ALL records on ALL Obstacle maps for a while. Pretty much Dedimania for Obstacle. But apparently it wasn't a huge hit, so steeffeen stopped the project.
