wait, wait, removing selfboost?! i guess the selfboost trail for PB 2.5 is canceled then.......
the second thing i wanna say is, if selfboost is removed, then how do you finish level 36 (maybe) without selfboost?
i mean, the hint says it all "you know that swords can make you jump higher?" (something like that)
third, selfboost maps are useless now......
make a memorial for selfboost

The selfboost is not removed for god"s sake! It's just reworked a bit. And seems easier and more controlable now.

The selfboost feels a bit different but still managable, the shots however are even less likely to do damages, thanks a lot !!! : ))

yeah I thought so when I read your reply.

It's not removed, just re-worked a bit to improve synchronization. Which it has.

if you think selfboosting to the skybox is skill, then your logic is greatly flawed.


Imo, selfboosting was never intended to be in the game. nor is it skill-based in any way.

They just need to remove it overall, It is probably a bug that never got patched, even with the reworking of it. I think it still should be removed, as newer individuals do not know how to preform it.

Why bring people who have been doing it for years, down to the level of a new player who knows nothing about the game? It's the equivalent of letting a team of disabled children beat Real Madrid in a game of football.

You don't need selfboost to be better than newbies. Or do you?

Do you really consider having an advantage "skill", It's not skill to have an advantage over your enemies that isnt even taught to that many new players.
Also, it was never intended to be in pb2.

It wasn't intended but it was kept anyways so now it's intended to stay. Selfboosting's one of those things whose learning curve became more linear to make it more easier and accessible to do. It's not an advantage to perform selfboosting if anyone can do it but it's an advantage if it's used effectively as a method of mobility, which in itself is a skill

Selfboosting should be taught the same way wall-jumping is taught at an early stage. A lot of maps are designed to accommodate selfboosting. It's simple and less time consuming to take it out but nobody wants to change all of those maps that were designed to keep the ability in mind.

For me the really sad part is certain SB maps are almost unplayable now. Not a big advantage in approved but still liked it a lot.

It was a really bad idea because everyone uses and love selfboost. I hope Eric Gurt will put it back.
