Changelog said "semi-permament" So it would be 1 hour or so.

lol that was me too :) it really lags a server, saw a guy totally taking it to the max today and it just crashed the server completely. i guess we'll have to settle with 1 hour then.

If it lags then 10 - 20 min should be more than enough.

Though wasn't that lag server related? Though it does sound plausible that too many ropes will cause lag.

Also - did you die and respawn for that? Maybe one rope per person would help against lag.

It does. Some guy on BigD lastnight was banned after throwing so many ropes that the server required a restart.

We're talking alot of ropes here.

What about an automatic decay of a rope being deployed if it is deployed by the same player?

Usually it's only that "one guy" who wants to screw around with the system, making it so the grappling hook dissipear after the player that has deployed it deploys another grappling hook.

And making is so, the maximum number of grappling hook in the whole map won't exceed 64 (the max number of players).

PS: and I really liked the grappling hook knifing, I don't understand why it wouldn't be a good idea.
