[422] Trap bridge vault

Okay. I'm sorry If I have posted this in the wrong section, or if this has already been posted, but I assume it hasn't because it's come up in the game multiple times.
I'm sure many of us have seen something simmilar to this:




well, what I find realy annoying how people don't know that the trap bridges down the bottom are all you need. As you run towards the trap bridges, hold W and A for the one on the right, and for the one on the left, hold W and D.
You must press these keys when you are directly BELOW the trap bridge. Not on top of it, BELOW, it. I am sorry if this is obvious for some people, but after seeing this so many times, I thought I might bring it up.



The funny thing is, I walk away to get resources, and when I come back, suddenly there 10 more trap bridges. If you do not know this already, a word of warning to you. Pay attention and don't add the extra trap bridges, or this will happen:

 

The people that don't understand this are usually the people that don't use the forums. :(

 

True. What's also funny is, it dosn't happen if I stand there giving a demonstration to everyone who passes by.:p

 

My friend found out before me, he doesn't even have a forum account.

 

Ok. Oh, can we try to tell this to anyone who dosn't read the forums? cus it's really annoying.

 

Btw, someone brought up once a really "easy" solution to this I forget who though.

If you build them like this:













They automatically vault on it, because "most" people hold W on their way up, and they can't get on the 2nd bridge so they are forced onto the first one and . . . Viola! Bridge vaulted up. ;)

 

Funny thing about this thread is a fact that actually this building is better with more trapbridges since they prevent spamming red bridges/ladders/stone blocks to block your entrance.
And they don't even harm your launch pad since they are not connected with it.

 

That works, and is a good idea, but the problem is, if you only have 40 wood and 50 stone, you cant build that so yah. I think the main thing is getting those people who dont know how to vault a lesson on vaulting.

Edit:

Actually, this gave me an idea, If someone could contact the devs, they could add it into the tutorial. I don't know if it would be accepted but...

 

But as far as using them and having people not know how to do it is annoying, making two bridges like that will at least make it easier to explain how to use them.

Ninja'd basically, lol.

 

To spam those objects, it would require a builder. A smart builder would disable the pads and easily make their way up. When I play as builder, I can damage, and then convert trap bridges fairly quickly.

hmm, true, but I know that some people won't realise what they see, and won't know what to do when there is only one.

 

I really hate it when someone puts more bridges. One thing that happened to me was I made a simple linepiece with a boostpad and some nub builder build more bridges, when I destroyed them he instantly said 'CoD GRIEFER! KICK HIM!'. Thankfully I wasn't kicked but still...

 

Wow, thats nasty. It just goes to show that some people could lose their memory and become smater. Only some people, though.

 

Haha indeed they could.

 

Yep. Thats why there is only one bridge at bottom, as to prevent knights getting up using bombs, and also this "see picture 1 in the original post" can be customised to allow more floors, and better archer angles. Also, that is why I hate people doing this: "see picture 2" to this: "see picture 1". I mean seriously, 1, it wastes rescources and 2, it means oponents are more likely to get up.

 

No, bridges above the height of two tiles are bad since knights can break them, and get into your castle without even having to use bombs.

 

This is another reason why I hate it when people do this. Sometimes I don't see them do it and suddenly I'm killed by a knight. When we recapture the building, I see what people have done.

 

This is most often the best solution. Note that the doors are at the height of 8 blocks = players jumping out won't get stunned.
