bunnyhopping

SoT actually promotes bunnyhopping.

Not just for combat, but as a utility move more usable than the sword jump.
Ever stop to consider how pirates must traverse across ship, rocks, docks, barrels, all manner of terrain, on the fly?
What feels faster carrying loot, bunnyhopping down that long dock, or sprinting?

OP would prefer being flat footed just like a landlubber.

I have even noticed streamers practicing precision bunnyhopping on the rail of their sloop.
Bunnyhopping and quickscoping with an EoR, with a flintlock fired from the hip.
Not that I fight like this, but I expect to come across players this adept eventually.

So yeah, continue to look down at bunnyhoppers at your own demise.

I don't understand the hate people have for it. A myriad of games allow it, why does this game have to do anything? being a hard target to hit is nothing new in gaming. If going prone was an option, people would do that. If a cover system was an option, people would do that. People will do whatever it takes to not get hit, its just basic gaming behavior.

If I am playing a game that doesn't allow bunny-hopping, you won't see me travel over to their game forums demanding it gets added. I just accept how mobility works in that game. If it allows it I hop if necessity demands it, if not, I don't. Always feels weird to me to demand a game cater to my play-style.

To those that struggle shooting hoppers, might be time to learn how to counter it. It truly isn't that hard, what comes up must come down. Aim where they are going, its that simple. If anyone can't keep up, that is a them problem, not a game problem.

@reapinglegion I don't want to take credit, but if I'm "the guy", then what I actually said was that a nerf to consecutive jumps would make it a pain to get around large islands, which would impact PvE more than PvP. I wasn't suggesting that people should rely on bunny hopping against skeletons. In fact I don't think people should rely on bunny hopping at all.

when i PvP i hop around like a bunny... just to prevent myself from getting hit by shots or swords.

If you're bunny hopping in PvP without other movement, you're going to get yourself killed against experienced players who know to aim at center-of-mass. If you use other movement like strafing, sprinting, stopping and going unpredictably, then trust me, it's the other movement that is helping you.

@reapinglegion I agree. I think a stamina bar is needed. I think it’s kinda silly to just hop hop hop and not lose stamina.

@wolfmanbush You mean the dpi glitch?

@theblackbellamy I have no clue, might've been.

@combatxkitty Aye, i think that'd be a good.
