Physics issues?

[frugal_gourmet]

Are they ever going to fix these two things?

1) That you can leap straight out of the water while swimming in deep water.
2) That you can grab a ladder at the end of a long fall and be fine.

Just wondering because they kind of harm the immersion factor a bit for me, personally.

Didn't you hear that everyone actually starts out at level 3? The first two levels are hidden, but they always include 1 level of Aquaman and 1 level of Spiderman.

What about the physics of harnesing a lightning bolt and launching it through your fingertips, or firing arrows through comrades, floating on air, teleporting and god know whatever else physics does not allow in a fantasy world.

If you dont want to do these things then dont if it ruins your immersion. I myself see immersion ruined daily by people wanting me to spend real money on fake money. Or people with the name IPFreely or OUateonetoo.

at this point, several quests are designed with the assumption that you can leap like a dolphin out of the water. edit: it's even more common around lava.

i don't think this will change anytime soon.

You're joking, right? Those things fit into the context of our imagined world, and the things I mentioned are clearly just mistakes.

Actually, that's a good point. It may be too difficult to fix if it threatens to break existing quests.

First you would have to find out how many people are really bothered by this.Since i doubt there is more than 10 on all servers combined,it doesn't matter the slightest bit.

I guess I'm finding out this is true.

Ok I will give you the spell things fitting into the context, I know I was reaching a bit. But honestly if you dont like how that aspect of the game works, RP and ask somone to stand near the ledge and say help me up and then jump pretending somone was there helping you out.

There are far more pressing issues then being able to jump like a trout heading to spawning grounds. Albiet you have a valid argument and I am not trying to minimize it...much JK but they will have to redesign alot of things if they changed it.

Heck give us ropes and grappling hooks so I can scale a wall to avoid conflicts or make my own way through a challenge.

Well, I think you have touched on the real problem here that I hadn't considered at first. The ability to leap from the water is probably a big help in avoiding geometry problems in the game. Less "stuck" situations to worry about. If they were to try and fix it now, I could see that being a huge issue as they'd have to test every single quest in the game and find places players could get stuck. Totally unfixable, unless they were to only implement for new quests going forward (and they wouldn't).

So I guess disregard.

I suppose it just bugged me is all.
