Jetball News

With a great big thanks to the guys at Branzone.com we now have 3 new high speed servers in action. One in Frankfurt Germany and 2 in Texas USA. Each server has 8 slots, so enjoy up to 4v4 or 3v3 with a spectator or two. Branzone offers some of the lowest ping and jitter free servers. We are very excited to have them as a partner in Early Access.

We are very excited to announce Season 0 of Jetball HORSE! This will be a casual weekly community challenge that everybody can participate in, on their own time. The basic premise is below, more details will follow:

• A specific trick shot will be assigned every week. Players have 1 week to submit a gif of them completing the challenge
  
• If a player fails to submit a clip of the trick shot, they will get a letter (H-O-R-S-E)
  
• The first player to submit a successful shot gets to invent next week's trick shot (pending admin approval)
  
• The last player who is not a HORSE wins
  
• Of course, fabulous prizes await the winner, and all participants will be rewarded
  

For our first week I will introduce the challenge now to provide some extra time. We expect to officially kick this off midweek.

• Map: Epic City
  
• Shot: Bounce off enemy wall, off ground, into thine own goal
  
• GIF here

Also, Juke is hosting a Ho-Ho Holiday Slapdown Draft Tournament. Tentative date of December 29, sign-ups are here.
Take a break from the craziness of the holidays and slap some balls across the sky. All experience levels are welcome.

Buca's goal is weekly updates but lots of great feedback and bugs are popping up with the influx of new players so he wanted to start addressing some of these right away.

Features:
- Multiplied the aim sensitivity range by 4 as there was not enough range for controllers and also low end mice (your saved sensitivity will likely be effected).

Gameplay Changes:
- None

Bug Fixes:
- Removed a loud horn sound that occurred for some players when hosting a local game.
- Attempted to fix a mouse issue where the mouse would leave the game window (fix unconfirmed).
- Fixed the "coundown" spelling error during the match countdown.

Known Issues:
- First time running the game there is often a problem where available keybinds and screen resolutions do not appear correctly - restart the game to fix.
- The keybind screen is little wonky at times (order moves around by itself) but seems to get the job done.
- Chat box has an issue after your first message. Clicking between each chat message seems to clear it up
- Some character animations are not working at the right time (like walking instead of skiing or vice versa).
- Some character jetpack locations are not aligned yet.
- Slapping the ball quickly between players causes a multiverse infinite possibilites scenerio with some interesting results.
- The brake key has been known to stick for at least one player (hitting brake again fixes it).
- After changing teams, players can see both team messaging waypoints indicators (when you should only see your own team message waypoints).
- The mouse goes inverted sometimes when playing with sensitivity - workaround is to check the invert mouse box (until you restart then it will correct itself requiring you to unchkeck the box)
