it's a staple of pirate fanasty and i think it would be a good idea but idk if rope is hard to code but i would welcome it if they could and more ways to board is the most reason why i have this idera
i really want rope swinging as a boarding tool
There should be rope either end of the main sail that is tied to the crow's nest railing, hold X to grab ahold of the rope and jump off, the end tied to the sail would create a swinging motion that carries the player, perhaps pressing B releases the rope so the player must time their jump.
Of course you could just sword lunge from the sails but that might hurt your feet.
@oryanstar you would hardly notice the rope, it would effectively hug the horizontal beam that the sails are attached too amd look just like any other rope
@oryanstar said in i really want rope swinging as a boarding tool:
@sailorkek yea it could work... thou a hand thrown grappling hook would have a lot more usability out of it then a stationary rope. would change how pvp is done greatly
i mean yeah
@oryanstar I think players fly around in combat too much as is, having a hand held hook would basically be a free teleport. It would need to have a negative effect too, maybe if it was a weapon slot.
I like the idea of having a parachute of sorts that you could use when firing yourself from a cannon, or when falling from high heights. You could use it to glide in or even do bombing runs. Though, with its moderately low speed, you could be picked off by wary snipers, or good cannoneers. It might even be a good reason to add flak into the game as well.
There was a concept video of it a while back that was really good, but I always have trouble finding it. I really should add it to my watch later list so I can more easily reference it. 😅
