Slower autoclimb

[knifeymoloko]

Autoclimb makes it too fast to go uphill, and too slow going downhill. It should be the other way around!
Going downhill you should gather momentum, and jumping could make it a fair amount faster the steeper you are running down.
.

I've never noticed but is it possible that they have the code that handles this reversed and the original intent was uphill/slow & downhill/fast?

Minecraft does have auto-climb... And I am yet to meet a Minecraft player who doesn't use it...

First of all i don't play minecraft since it lacks action. And second, I was referring to normal minecraft blocks not half-steps/or stair blocks.

So why use something that you don't know about as an example..? Why slap on a little insult to Minecraft by saying it 'lacks action' (that wasn't really necessary was it?)? And it does have auto-climb, but not in all situations, AoS doesn't have it in all situations either...

FYI AoS blocks are 66% of the size of Minecraft blocks.

I used to play it before it went popular. Then silly realms were introduced and such.
So I know about minecraft and it's half-steps/stair blocks auto-climbing thing.
And minecraft is basically building (mostly building) and adventure game. I'm not even gonna talk about combat because i don't like it.

Minecraft:
Autoclimb 10%
Spamming space 90%

Ace of Spades:
Autoclimb 90%
Spamming space 10%

Well that's nice but what is your point?

We should become more like Minecraft? "If minecraft is 90% spamming we should be too"?

^Facepalm.

The point is that autoclimb should be nerfed in one way or another. It's fine slowing it down though.Though I still would like to get rid off it.
Also good thing would be to disable it while strafing.

And you still haven't answered my question. Have you played the game before auto-climb? Since it was like minecraft. And when it was firstly introduced I didn't like it. And as you can see I'm still not a huge fan of it.

And minecraft was just an example. Jeez mention it and ppl will go mad.

[Gorman]

Using it as an example is fine. Using it as a justification - using any game as a justification is not.

Besides that, I did play it before auto-climb was added (not that it matters), and I am not a fan of spamming spacebar.

The gameplay was alot different before autoclimb. Not really better or worse, just different. For example any fort on a hill had a big tactical advantage, and you'd have to sort of shoot and jump at the same time if you were fighting on a slope, which meant that duels lasted longer...



It'd be nice to have the option to disable autoclimb on your server, actually :)

Going down a 1/1 slope is slower than climbing it.

Just saying.

[Darkwolf7]

Yes!
Going down is slower than going up, it should be the opposite (like in real life)

[Gorman]

Is that really true?

To go up stairs you use your own power so you can go as fast as you want, but to go down you have to wait for gravity to push you down...

In the game, it apparently is.

Your run speed is constant while autoclimbing up. When descending, you decelerate.
The difference is very noticeable when descending/ascending very long flights of stairs.

[Gorman]

No I mean, at full sprint can you really descend faster than you can ascend?

[Paratrooper]

Initially, sure. But after some time descending becomes slower.

Talking about real life here, not ingame by the way...
