NEW: PUNABALL SERVER with "Da Car"

bouc · Post by **bouc** » Wed Jun 06, 2007 3:42 am

Hello all,
I set up a new Punaball server with "Da Car" instead of Antisliders. Personally, I prefer to play with this car. The action is faster and defense's a bit easier (when you know how play). We play with those cars everyday at work.

So please try it and tell me how you appreciate your Punaball experience with those cars.

Oh yeah, by the way, the server name is:
PUNABALL SERVER with "Da Car"

thanks,

Already told you my opinion in the server, but won't skip to mention it here:
I played 2vs2 and 3vs3 with "Da Car" and in both cases it was pretty nice

Partly it was definately harder to make a goal and probably a few more lucky goals happen, but all in all it's very nice to play due to the antislide property and the high speed. The high speed additionally forces more skill to hit the ball right and to make a fast and precise counter attack (for example).

One piece of advice: remove the mirrors from the pattern image, it creates a lot of unpredictable bounces when hitting the ball with your side.

Otherwise I guess it was ok, but after 3 years Antislider sort of has a monopoly in punaball

I totally agree that this care rules. I also agree that it requires more skill.

Since it is faster, it is most likely that you are going to miss the ball if you alway run at full speed. You have to ajust your speed in function of your attack or defense.

It also gives opportunities to make superb saves as you can quickly take position before the goal. Games are harder but more exciting.

It is definitly a car for experimented players.

By the way, your server's speed is terrific. Almost no lag!

Pretty nice car, it's always good to try something new. But in my opinion, Punaball is hard enough as it is. No need to make it harder.

Just what i was thinking. Though i have not tried the new car yet, so i will not criticize it.

For me playing puna is, more often than not, pretty laggy (living in US and playing on European servers) so i think the easier the better for me.

I just tested the server. About the ping, it was pretty high but also stable -> it's ok playing there.
I noticed two main things:

1) server is too fast starting the match (downloading the tracks in so small time is quite impossible)
2) car is great, it helps a lot in defense and also in ball control because of his size.. The game is probably more funny because of possible comebacks after a mistake (the real punaball isn't like that -> 1 mistake and you're done). I wouldn't say that this car makes the game harder.

I prefer the normal punaball, but this is okay too. Welcome to tha community.

Yeah I just saw it in the pattern image, I'll remove it. Although it is quite funny to see the balls following your car on the side like it would be attracted to it

Indeed it most of the time results in strange rebound and that's why I'm gonna remove it.

server is too fast starting the match

Totally agree, I'll change it to 25 seconds.

For me playing puna is, more often than not, pretty laggy (living in US and playing on European servers)

This is actually a North-American server (Montreal, QC). So this server might be faster for you.

In my opinion, it is harder to play with AntiSliders, but I didn't play a lot with AntiSlider though.

Thanks a lot for your feedback guys!

Wow nice! I'm in New York so that server is very close to me.

I'll be sure to try soon.

Hey guys, I cant wait to play with you on Bouc server. You ll soon find out, after some games to adjust to it, that Da Car is not harder then AntiSlider and way funnier.

Btw, when's the next tourney? Bouc and I would like to enter it!

Have fun!
