Rugby, Assault updates

[r_Nives5 15,148]

 

Tankers!

 

We’re excited that you like Rugby, and to help you focus on action, with server restart 02:00 UTC on February 6th Rugby mode will be updated with new animations:

 

• When the ball is caught, it will spin above the tank, making it easier for you to notice that you’ve picked up the ball;
  
• When the ball is passed, it will also spin while in the air, making the passes look more realistic.
  

 

We’re working on more updates for Rugby, and development team is fixing critical errors when entering battles. Thank you for all reports about the issue!

 

Also, with server restart tomorrow, Assault mode will receive the following changes:

 

• Red Team will now earn 5 points for delivering the flag;
  
• When the flag is dropped, the wait time until it’s returned will be shortened.
  

 

Launch the game on February 6th, check out the new animations and tell us — what else would you like to see in Rugby?

Rugby improvements are a start, but it definitely needs more. I'm intrigued by the little note saying that more updates are to come, so we'll see what other changes are gonna happen.

 

I still think that the power of the pass should be at least doubled. The current pass has very little use in gameplay and with the power it has now the ball may as well just drop down like a flag, since the pass doesn't make much difference. Would be nice if we could even control the power of the pass by, say, holding down the F key and releasing it. So for example pressing it once would be the default power pass (what we have now), but holding it and releasing it would increase the power of the throw, like how Magnum show power increases as you hold space.

 

Another thing is the ball's hitbox - it's really annoying how the ball doesn't get picked up when you're already touching it, and even more annoying that it doesn't get picked up when someone is laying upside-down, they drop the ball and you can't pick it up when you're sitting on top of them (unlike flags in CTF, which can be picked up like this).

 

And finally, it would be nice to see the green mark that shows where the ball is at all times, or at least when your team is holding it. Although I feel that this is already planned.

Assault mode improvements are nice. Hopefully will make it more balanced.

I love this new update <3

[LOLKILLERTOTHEDEATH 1,921]

Nice! lookng forward to these changes. I've wanted to try out the assault and rugby modes, but I found it quite difficult to manage. With these new updates, I think it should be more fun.

Cool improvements, but I think Rugby needs more.

E.g. tournaments ASAP  ;)

I heard you could only pass the ball backwards in real rugby. is that true?

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Thanks for mentioning on this post that critical errors will be fixed.

Yes, it is. This "Rugby" is more like American football, <understatement>but even then it's not a perfect replica.</understatement>

[Stratosphere 2,234]

I hope we can also catch the ball while its in the air sometime in the future. Nice update, I like spinning balls. :D

[GeekSHizzle 522]

:) Waited long time :D

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Please developers can you add the "Elimination Mode" like I suggested before.

We need achievement rewards for Assault and Rugby mode. We need 6 of each achievement for each modes.
