Thrustpad [Jump Pad] Poll

[EVILPIG]

This is the HOT TOPIC atm. Having seen the TotalBiscut video, should the tower Jump Pads be implemented?

(this is just a guage - yes, we need to play Beta)

[Saieno]

No.

Please give a read. You guys don't even know what you're voting on.

I don't really see the issue at all TBH.

This.

I think its a great idea for the same reasons TB said.

Where's the "I can't decide until I see it in action" option?

[Atheosim]

I would much, much, very fucking much rather have heavily shielded catwalks leading to towers with smaller parapets. There are going to be potentially 600 people occupying the base. We don't need instantaneous response times from individuals, unlike in a 32v32 game where 5 people can make the difference in an entire match.

Here's my impression of this community:

Is it new? Vote against it.

Well, as a non PS1 vet, a large persistent online world is new, yet I'm not voting against that.

More like:
Is it silly? Vote against it.

I mean really, why not have a comedic giant catapult to fling the soldiers around the base? That's "fun".

Where did you get the impression people didn't know that it's just people being flung between buttresses?

You want to talk about silly? I've got 1 word for you: Nanites. It's sci-fi. It's always a fine line there when you start talking about what's silly or not.

Plus "silly" is as subjective as "fun".

My point still stands. Every...single...time...something new gets introduced, most of the vets here are against it right off the bat. I don't mean to imply that everything new is great. I'm merely pointing out this community is not a fan of any minor change at all.

I haven't seen anyone against the idea of quickly traveling between the buttresses. People are against how they its being implemented. If they had done it in a sensible way (Which they could still do, Alpha and all) I'd doubt there would be that much of a conversation over it at all.
Being flung like a human cannon is, to me, ugly and does not fit in with the Planetside style at all. Planetside is sensible sci-fi, not silly sci-fi.
