Remove parachute or make it look more fitting?

I know it's a server plugin.

Now it looks pretty weird, it kinda takes you out of the game like a really loud fart during a convention.

Jumping off from *insert any height here*?
No worry, just tap E for 0.1 sec and you land like you just jumped off from your bed, and there's a parachute coming out from your back that disappears immediately like an illusion.

I dislike this "who gives a fuck about ladder/stairs/terrain" feature to begin with.

I'd support removing parachute entirely but I can imagine just how much hate there will be.

Making it look better sounds like the least thing we can do.
Maybe make it so that when you tap E, a flame comes out from the shoes as if you are wearing jet shoes?
Or anything else that makes it look better.

 

It's one of many many things that don't make sense and look bad. Either way I don't think it makes much difference unless it's going to be done really well. flames out your shoes, a magic parachute, it's all much of a muchness.

 

Its like destroyer and security are 1 person now.

If it gets removed I would put a maximum damage on it. Otherwise losing 90 hp is just stupid.

 

we never used to play with em, honestly the fall damage just needs calculating better so you can still fall a bit but not allow jumping and living a 100 ft drop.

 

Why is taking fall damage a bad thing?
Like, with all these hours I spent on infantry, I'd still like to take fall damage kthx.

Portal is probably the only "non-magical" game I can come up with that you take no fall damage, and that's a whole story behind it.


Like I feel this is probably the #1 thing that shows "we actually settle with weird things."
Scout hide with melee upgrade comes #2 in place.

You can say those are the things that make Empires special...but they don't really make Empires special in an attractive way.

 

O O O, if we are talking about the WEIRDEST things, how come tank turrets can spin at the speed of light? I'd think they'd put that technology into a space ship and go off into the cosmos... perhaps we could skip the aircraft update and go straight to spacecraft?

 

Here's a nice example, parachute can be used to outrun your predator when you aren't winning any skirmish(or you just want to make sure getting the upper-hand, w/e), in that sense the game is actually slowed down even more.

We effectively removed the limitation of "stairs/ladders/terrain", when you want to go up there's limited ways, when you want to go down, you can go anywhere you want.

Again, with limited options, there's limited places you can go, I doubt it would slow down the game, at least not to the point that you'd notice.

I am all for nerfing squad revive btw.

 

This isn't slowing down? You just supported my statement.

Also, if the guy didn't just shoot his quarry, chances are he wasn't there when his quarry made the jump.

I mean that's just one of the examples, if you look into "there's so many ways you can go down", you'd dig out more examples like this that slow down the game in general, because people aren't being "soft-forced" to go some places where they'd meet enemies.

 

If you ask me it's actually pretty sad.

CS 1.6 was the last time when I see a parachute exactly like this.....

When people don't complain, it's like they expected this.

Removing parachute is probably too much of a hassle, I'd also go for vision improve.

 

Isn't this all server side? Removing it and toggling greater fall damage?

 

Yes, that's the first line of this thread.

Just collecting stuff so people making decisions can see.

 

Btw isnt this a reitteration of how thecreeper should moderat his server but then with parachutes? Its litterally trying to strong arm the creeper with public oppinion.
