Shadeykins Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 No doubt a lot of you have noticed people flopping back and forth all over the place like fish while standing/walking. This is called wavedashing, wavedashing is not actually a good thing (at least not on para). A recent PR that was merged removed the rest delay, which makes it instantaneous. If you have 'rest' macro'd, it allows you to effectively dodge projectiles without really impacting your movement (provided they're targeted on a tile, which 90% of the time they are) by double-tapping your macro (laying down to dodge, and then immediately standing back up), which I've already seen occur a few times now. Shouldn't have to point out what sort of behaviour this change encourages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necaladun Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Yeah, I don't see anything good about this. Apart from just looking silly, it's a bad combat mechanic, and really, really, favours those with a low ping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machofish Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 +1 to re-adding a delay. I think it would be interesting if diving was instant, but getting up from the ground at least should take a bit of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldflame Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 arguably adds to the mechanical skill ceiling of combat, but there are better ways to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Dobbins Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 being able to sliding tackle would be cool for that authentic bodyguard experience, if it knocks both people to the floor. Kind of like what happens if you crash into someone on a secway on goon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jguytriple5 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Dropping down could be instant but getting up defenitly needs to take a while, +1 to re-adding a delay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farya Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Dropping down could be instant but getting up defenitly needs to take a while, +1 to re-adding a delay Falling down should deal a bit of brute damage. Either when you stunned or dropping down with *fall prone verb. Sleep and rest would be safe for that but would have delays for both droping and getting up.
