Project Reality Forums

I didn't see this previously mentioned and I had to post before this guy does.

With all the discussion about falling causing bleed/death, it has been suggested that perhaps falling from moderate heights causes the inability to run for a period of time, perhaps longer than regular stamina depletion. This might simulate an injured ankle but not cause you to cough and hack till you die.

Agree, or just increase drop height, as it's kinda annoying atm.

I agree - it's good that jumping from roofs and whatnot is strongly discouraged nowadays, but it's a bit silly (not to mention frustrating) to bleed to death if you stumble on a piece of steep terrain, or misjudge a drop. Happened to me twice on Korengal yesterday. Call me noob if you want, but the current system is not particularly user friendly. Nor particularly realistic (as if that was ever a particularly good argument).

I say increase drop heigh because I want to be able to have guys jump out of helicopter rather than climb out when flying

DeltaFart... thats not a good reason

but my reason is the terrain reason. I mean if you're crawling down terrain you should be fine.....

but then EA didn't think about this did they?

well yeah that too but its already been mentioned
and Im not saying jump from 200 m I mean whenever I try jumping from a hovering helo, I usually start to bleed out cause its just a teeny bit too high and it wasn't all that high at all maybe 1 m

I think the way it is now is really harsh, but I think its meant to be. a change in the bleedout state by 5% would help immensely, but if you find your falling down alot and getting hurt, its probably because your not used to being force to use safe paths, i certainly wasn't. in 0.7 i'd jump down all over the place, in 0.8 i'm careful.
