Arasai Glide broke?

Noktaris · 12-12-2008, 02:29 AM

This broke for anyone else? I float for a few seconds then I just fall and take damage. I'm not in combat...it happens pretty much every time.

mine's broken too. works for a second and then I drop like a rock. I've tried turning off any of my stuff, mounts, moppet buffs, etc. no effects.

check inthe racial characteristic make sure you reselected it

Noktaris · 12-13-2008, 08:38 PM

Lol Yes I selected it...I have 3 Arasai,all of which glide/floating is totally broken. Even Hover racial abilities are broke for me atm. Unless they meant to change Glide,then it's broken and after a few seconds I drop like a rock and take damage.

Guess they tweaked it or something since last I played. I been gone for 6 months and falling damage is something I never had to deal with before. SMILEY Anyways I only fall if I hold down the jump buttom...if I let up it's fine.

Hmmmm. I realize that the glide is supposed to break when performing other actions but holding down the jump button usually isn't one of them. You might want to submit a bug report on this issue.

You may be able to extend the amount of time you can hold jump by going into your control panel, opening your keyboard options, and setting the 'repeat delay' to be longer. It probably isn't worth the effort, though.

I read somewhere on patch notes...maybe for TSO release, that holding down the jump button would cancel slow fall effects.

I really like the change myself.

Now that I think about it, that makes sense. They may have changed it because of the insane jumps that come from Gnomish Spring Boots + Glide. I must have missed it in the patch notes, though.

It looks like you are correct. Here's the link to the patch notes:

-Glide/Slow fall can now be suspended by holding the jump key while falling.

TheSpin · 12-15-2008, 10:59 PM

Glad I could help.... now how about expediting my pending character transfer request as a reward

Just think of the time it would have taken to find those notes on your own, and weigh it against the time it would take to move my brigand.

It should not cancel it but only put it on hold while the jump button is held down, when you release it the slowfall should resume. It works that way with my dark elf hover fall.

Even though figuring out that holding down jump makes me fall Glide is still just dropping ALOT for no reason. I'll hit jump and start gliding...I let go of jump and all directional buttons and it drops me and I take falling damage.
