Some of those look awfully familiar. I'm pretty sure that some if not all have been here a long time. Perhaps I'm wrong though and during the time I was away they were fixed.

These are all new bugs.  I am very aware of interactions with the environment.

I recall a time around the release of version 0.3.01 where it was near impossible to jump on top of objects, as you'd try and just get stuck.  it was later fixed, and it'll be tweaked again for this time around.  different issue from before, but similar results.  welcome to development.  :)

seems everyone who wanted to voice their opinion has done so and now it's just the same argument being reworded by the same people.

im sure the devs thank you all for your input and they'll do what they think needs to be done.

Wait a minute, i dont think everyone got to say there opionion before you locked it Neko. The first thing i learned in planeshift was climbing, i enjoyed it so much i started teaching others. I loved that it was a free roaming enviromont, not confined to paths like most other games...Hmm, wonder where that went...Climbing was not a skill to me but it was a enjoyable part of the game. Now that you've taken it away, its not nearly as fun as before. :thumbdown:


PLEASE PUT CLIMBING BACK!  >:(

Starting a new thread isn't going to do any good. Right, wrong, or indifferent... things have been done. They will not be undone, and I get the impression that you can look forward to many more development decisions that you are not going to like.

I agree that climbing was a very fun pastime. My second day in-game someone took me on a tour and I fell in love with the graphics. Unfortunately, this is very much not a democracy, and they will take our comments under advisement when it suits them to do so. That is the best we can hope for, especially since it is free.

Hanace, all I have to say is if you feel there is more to say on the issue (and this goes for everyone else as well) please message neko to unlock the old topic, because we don't want to spam the forums with threads on climbing. I certainly feel there is more to say, but I do not think that it would be appropriate for me to request him to open the topic again. Therefore, in the name of fairness, please send all comments and/or requests to either reimplement climbing, or reopen the thread, to neko. Thank you for not spamming :D

You have nothing new to add to the discussion.  Your only comments you wanted to make, was that you too, like many others, are displeased that you are now no longer able to exploit game mechanics to get to places.

Your feelings on the changed game mechanics has been thoroughly expressed by many of your piers in the original thread and the devs do get the general understanding of it all.

With that being said, there is no reason to keep beating the dead horse, as it won't make future changes come any faster, and all it will serve is to cause drama, and burnout on everyones part, making the game and forums un-enjoyable and drive both players, testers, and devs alike, away from the project.

It's my duty as global mod to step in and nip drama in the bud before it gets out of hand, and this is what I did.

Again, your feelings on the recent changes are noted, but at the same time, there is no reason to keep repeating the same viewpoint over and over again.  We all get the point.  :)

At this point in time, I ask that you just have some patience.

Mod's Note: merged this topic with the original one.
