Title: Can the Kyros race fly?
Post by: 1dearka1 on January 01, 2008, 08:06:53 pm
Can the Kyros race fly?  Or is it just a fancy look that they have wings?

They can, but they can't now. Hasn't been implemented yet. For now I'd advise staying on the ground.

They used to be able to fly..a long time ago..but I Think it was too buggie and you had to start from way high up :)

They do not actually fly so much as they can glide. I think it is more like flying squirrels than like most birds.

According to the settings, Klyros can slide down (like a paper plane), but not really fly upwards.

It is being discussed how that should be implemented (e.g. half the gravity, or similar).

They can glide as well. The Klyros has to much body weight for those wings to actually have them fly.

[Edit] D'oh! Just saw your post bilbous. :P

I am also curious about this comment. I have never seen the Klyros fly. I am wondering when you are speaking of?

It would have been the time around the time you started playing and then for a few months there after.  it was with the now disabled /fly command.

One of the problems with the command was that it was really glitchy, and also that any race could use it.  Flying enki's were fun to see.

All it ever did for me was make a bigger jump. Made it possible to jump over the wall to the tower exit.
