Falling damage

[Veteran]

What's up with jumping off of a 30 foot tower in full armor and running around like nothing happened? Seems a little odd.

[Flammey]

Yeah, I do that all the time, yet get in a MAx and run across slightly uneven terrain and you'll take well over 30 damage for it. At least, I usually do, and I don't know why it does it. Must be the client-side hit detection.

[Reload]

You think that's bad, in the caverns you can walk off the edge of one of the ceiling buildings, land on the ground and survive.

*cough* anwn(i think thats what its called) *cough* go to the VERY top and jump off and u lose like 50 damage but dont die weird...

[Vernam]

NC MAXs can tap on their shields right before they hit the ground and take no damage, :) but thats been like that since beta.

Weak :)

[SilverLord]

Falling damage is weird sometimes. My 2 cents.

[Liquidtide]

Falling damage is weird SL.

I drove my AMS off a mountain side in Solsar last night and just closed my eyes b/c all I saw was sky below me and I miraculously survived. Then there are those nights where I fall down a 25 foot ridge and blow up.... go fig?

[Queensidecastle]

Falling damage makes no sense at all. At least they fixed it where running up and down steps doesnt require Medical or health kits :p As it is now however, you can fall from a top cavern on purpose to the floor and survive, while running from base to base in an Infil suite requires Medical...ridiculous

Also, proper use of jump jets stop 100% of damage to VS maxs from this type of damage.

[Black]

hehehe TR can fall and cant prevent the damage

[SilverLord]

Devs hate the TR, plain and simple, they all play NC and VS.

[Firefly]

Yet when you're an infiltrator and you try that, you take a ton of damage.

What's even worse is, when you're running with surge and you go over a tiny bump in the road... you take five to ten points of damage.

No it's not. Some people actually believe it. I know I do- I've been saying this since SmokeJumper disappeared- he was the only TR Developer. remember that guy? You see all these developers in their in-game monkey suits and they're all NC and VS. TR have been nerfed back to the Stone Age, and the Vanu get the shitty end of the stick occasionally but only after a million people threaten to quit unless the Noob-Rider and Lasher get nerfed.

[DramaticFanatic]

Yeah, I've driven off a REALLY high cliff once with my lightning, and just when I thought I was going to blow up, I didn't. No damage taken.

I hate when people think that everything in life has some kind of conspiracy behind it. Why the hell would the devs hate the TR? They worked just as hard to create all their models as they did with the VS and NC. ANd Smokejumper didnt mysteriously "disappear," moron. He just stopped posting because he's sick of people like you making outrageous claims about SOE.

Firefly's day at SOE:

Dev1: "How about we nerf the prowler AGAIN and give the Magrider's rail beam more damage?"
Dev2: "Yea! That'll show those lousy TR!"
Smokejumper(bound and gagged): "Please! Stop this madness! We just want to have good weapons just like everyone else!"
Dev2: "Shut up you!!" *slaps smokejumper*


Im pretty sure the tabloid industry has demand for people like you.

:rofl:

[Firefly]

Do you have any common sense? Do you understand what dry humor and sarcasm are? Do you SERIOUSLY think that was a serious post? Do you know what the straight-man is in comedy duos?

He just stopped posting because he's sick of people like you making outrageous claims about SOE.
I'd like empirical proof of this. Let me see the letter he wrote you saying "Hey man. Just a head's up- I stopped posting because I'm tired of Firefly and his outrageous claims about SOE."

By the way, I have oceanfront property in New Mexico I'd like to sell you. It's dirt cheap and that's no joke!

PS, thanks for the moron comment, I love the validation of my existence in your world. I can now cash in those savings bonds.

[JetRaiden]

Drop by the OF sometime. after sifting through the piles of mindless arguements and petitions, you'll find maybe 3 or 4 thoughtful ideas. sorry that I didnt identify your sarcasm, its harder to tell if your just READING it and theres no way of telling your expression.

from now on, before you post, consider that we cant see what you're actually THINKING behind it unless its blatently obvious. your "devs hate TR" post didnt look so sarcastic to me.

[Nimbus]

They don't look sarcastic to me either.

Anyway, back to topic. Yes, falling is indeed messed up. I jump off towers all the time because I take at most 15 damage. However running from base to base racks up about the same without any drops, thats just the terrain. They need to raise the minimun distance required before you take damage. It's not something critical, they probably have it slated to be looked at eventually.

[Firefly]

I will readily acknowledge that there are a few good ideas on the official forums, once one sifts through "OMFG NERF TEH LASHER!" and "GODJOEY CHEATS!" and "Vanu on Emerald ownzorz you!" I think a majority of the imput that leads to changes in the game comes from those forums, although I notice Sporkfire comes here too. I think that it'd be easier for him to get valid, intelligent imput here because of the constant moderator presence that keeps the trash out. Plus you don't see too much of "Your idea sucks, you're a f__king idiot you stupid n00b!" replied to by "OMFG STFU LOL!"

Most of the time, I make jokes constantly. When I'm deadly serious it's generally when I'm laying into someone for being an illiterate, ignorant idiot... because illiteracy and deliberate ignorance really irritates me.

As far as my expression goes, I maintain the same face for virtually everything.

This is me happy... :|

This is me sad... :|

This is me angry... :|

Wash rinse repeat ad nauseum.

[Spee]

Yet you canNOT be killed by being ran over, aside from a magmower. And even then you can walk away 90% of the time.


Seriously. I've had lightnings hit me, vanguards, empire-specific buggies....They all just throw me to the side with between 1 and 20 health left.

[Searo]

I've taken 40 damage from climbing into a sniper position, mostly sliding three feet.

I've taken 0 damage from jumping off of a 5 story Watch Tower.

[Katanaboy]

Well, I remember back in the day when a VS max took 10-20 damage just from using its jump jets.

[sutserikeru]

ive done soem testing and ive found out that a lot of times, when you jump off a 5 story twr and get no dmg, its because the fall dmg generator is set at random :p sometimes you get dmg, sometimes you dont :D


This is a joke, i didnt do any testing. All i know is that fall dmg thing has to be the next thing to be fixed

[Ait'al]

How do you not take damage from jumping form a galaxy and logicaly say you can from a tower? Dont you always have the thing that stops that from hurting you on your armor?

if you did have that thing on you 24/7 youd see a lot more guys jumping from the cavern ceiling :p

i could imagine that too, you look up and get rained on by nme forces who fuck you up

[Ait'al]

Which brings to mind giant pointy rocks. OUCH! :D

[sutserikeru]

which brings to mind gianty pointy rocks. OUCH! :D
ill say, would you like to see someone get impaled on a rock, thru thier dick/vagina and up into thier head? :doh: :doh: :doh: :huh: :huh: :huh: i sure as hell know i dont
if they did that, PS would turn into Quake like that *snaps*
mindless killing is fun, but thats just wrong

[Ait'al]

Sorry just naturally what came to mind as a balancing thing. how about holes with teeth like in Star Wars. ><

[JetRaiden]

alright I think we can all conclude that the flying damage engine is flawed. "Hey! I fell of the Ceryshen uber bridge and didn't get any damage! yet my friend was killed on impact!"

When squadding with Spork, he told us that they had their Dev named characters on each server with different empires. He also said that with his private account, one of his main characters is Terran on Markov.

It might help if you actualy formated the file as jpg instead of slapping a *.jpg extension onto a bmp.
