Bounced Off A Mountain
Jul 22nd, 2014 at 10:59am
Print Post  
I was fucking around in around the Stormhorns today, bounced off the mountain and took one of those cartoon-physics jet rides all the way to the entrance. But I didn't land on anything. I'm standing mid-air. Just thought I'd share before I see if I can wander into any interesting off-map locations....

If you so much as touch those mountains while falling with FF on. You fly across the map. Great physics engine at work.  Roll Eyes

I love it.  So relaxing.  If you have something like abundant step, you can go reeeeeeeeally far.  Turn your draw distance all the way up, grab a ranged weapon, drink a slayer pot, and just go nuts.   Grin

Nice idea! Shooting on the go feat necessary for that or doesn't count as movement? lol

They've been glitchy from the start. Currently, crossbows do not center. On top of that, the ranged deadly strike will not activate.

First time it happens is awesome.  Feels like flying!
Grin

Also a fast way to get to bottom of map - if that is what you're after.  if not, you're stuffed!   Undecided

There is an uneventful buffer zone of landscape where supposedly you cannot go. A tree wall on one side, and an invisible wall on the other. Also, you can land on the tree wall. Complete waste of time. Unless you want to play hide and seek in the Stormhorns. In that case, congrats, no one will find you.

Also, every time I see the air elementals, I'm reminded just exactly what kind of assholes we're dealing with in the devs. Seriously it takes at least five minutes to climb, ignoring the mobs. And the devs thought, "Air elementals, yeah."

And if you were high enough when you hit the mountainside and point towards the right direction you'll go through a hole in the invisible wall and end up in the outside world.

Upgraded Ventilated bracers help with those.

I find the frigging gryphons annoying.  They move twice as fast as any toon and rip you to shreds.
Invis run and move silently item are way to bypass most of the crap, except the bear traps...

Air guard? You can get that on Cannith bracers, too.

Invis is less helpful when you're running slayer. Otherwise, yeah. Invis to the waypoint, and then never again!

So, I know most people hate the Lobster, but can you imagine if they made a separate instance of Storm Horns for pvp?  Get a thousand hundred number of people (whoever's left) running around killing each other, like that terrible Ice-T movie, based on that halfway-decent short story.  Get the monsters to respawn for bonus fun.
