Out of boredom I was wondering yalls opinion on something, when you die in the air, would it be better to just fall to the ground/water or just float there?

    This guy probably QQ's when he dies about not falling to the ground.

    I just see it more logical, QQing about something is this game is pretty pointless. It;s only pixels. It's just a question.

    His question wasn't asking if anyone has issues dropping to the ground in PvP. His question is asking if there should be physics added to the game in which, when you die mid-air, it induces a rag-doll effect and you body falls to the ground.

    I like the floating, but I do think it'd be funny to have dead bodies dropping out of the sky - have a big PK war in the airspace over Inn of the Eagle and watch the newbies freak out.

    Of course, for consistency, drops would have to fall down as well. And while I still fail to understand how a pile of coins can float in the air, I do appreciate not having to go up and down all the time.

    Drops dont necessarily have to drop down as well, the drops are a representation of what your character got from that kill, if you imagine the battle in your head, perhaps ur character kept hold of the enemy after killing it and looted it's corpse before throwing it down, thats what I see in my head, not floating items lol.

    Welll i think floating in the air isnt to great while dying but dropping to the ground would be much beater and more realstic. I also think people would like the effects better that way. Well i know i would b:victory

    That's scary! b:shocked hihi Astypooo <3

    On a second note, I think drops in instances need to drop to the floor, there are too many times where Delta boss drops get stuck in the air, Card Boss drops stuck in the air, etc.

    Not only is there something hilarious about a PK war in the air with dead bodies dropping from above, but it'd be easier for clerics to find and ress during those air quests. This way you won't be yelling, "UP HERE!" for ten minutes.

    Sorry, I'm a Veno with the standard free flying mount, staying away from anything that doesn't like me. Before I can actually "hold" the dead monster it has rotted away 3 times over.

    Could you see a newb running down the road and a body fall right infornt of him/her. That would be screenshot worthy.

    If you want to add this, why not add damage from falling. Next time you want to jump off that cliff, be careful or you might go splat. b:chuckle

    Let's have the bodies also kill people outside SZ if they drop on someone's head and both are in PK mode. Imagine someone going to PK mode at 30 and getting killed by a dead barb. "Barb deals 125145 damage". b:chuckle

    Yes I'm bored. I failed cube and don't have enough time to restart again (7th time today?) and my last rooms were 30-35-32-35-32-34. Epic rooms right there. b:chuckle

    Can we have a single thread without the initial response being "QQ moar?"


    "I can't refine my weapon! The success rates are horrible!"
    "QQ more"


    "The quest marker is off and I dunno where to go."
    "QQ more"

    Terminal velocity means the falling BM will end up just as dead as the Arcane, now there might be some slight differences as to intervening injuries, but i would say loss of intracraneal pressure and compression of brain tissue would be the most likely causes of death...

    Unfortunately a detailed physics system for aerial fights is something not even the current generation of MMOs properly addresses and my guess is we won't be seeing it ever implemented in PW.

    But, yeah, i would like it more if dead people fell to the ground... or perhaps the aero of humans could be left there just hovering, or even looking scared in the case of untamed.

    This would **** up the power curve. Many of the starter points have high lvl mobs above them. High lvl drops would be landing in low lvl char pockets. Kinda a bad idea.
