Rapelling


Very simple. I want to rapell from a galaxy or phantasm in PS2. Likewise towers/base walls, cliff walls, whatnot.

limitations within reason don't bother me. I just think it would be awesome to do.

Re: Rapelling


That would imply buildings with many stories. I would like that. Imagine floor after floor of mayhem

I love this idea, assuming jetpacks/jumpjets are limited to certain classes. They've been talking about vertical gameplay quite a bit, so I think the option to rappel out of a dropship or between tower decks would be awesome. As cool as hotdropping is/was, I'd like to see some benefit to hovering your Gal 10 meters over a tower while a squad rappels onto the top level.

Would it completely replace hot dropping though? I've actually been thinking about this that the modern player might frown for dropping a couple of hundred feet with no aid and not taking damage or anything.

A fast rapelling speed and, although a bit unrealistic, you would rapell with a rope from any height, even max height (long ass rope ).

Although, this would mean that the thing would have to be stationary... which makes it a very dangerous thing to attempt..

I was actually thinking let the rope move with the gal, or the phantasm. anyone on it moves with them. That would be fun and potentially a way to pass the boredom when/if it comes up. might even inspire teamwork and trust in a gal pilot.

I've been trying to come up with more ways for troops to "move" in PS2 (such as jump packs), and this is probably the best idea so far. I could see the implementation being a bitch for the developers though.

Wow nobody has ever used that dumb argument before, bravo.

What I am saying is, we have kinetic dampeners for this in PlanetSide, I see no need for rope no matter how cool it is.

Re: Rapelling


Since hotdropping from a Gal isn't broken, I don't think it needs to be "fixed" with rapelling. However, when the devs talk about more vertical gameplay, specifically like scaffolding along a cliff wall, something like rapelling becomes alot more useful. Maybe this is going to be part of the role of jetpacks, but I like the idea of rapelling down a cliff to get to a vantage point, or rapelling from a roof down to a seldom used access point for a sneak attack.
