    The new buttons look tiny on their videos. That's what I'm talking about.

    Maybe a knight shielding at one end of the boat can "bomb boost" the boat forward a short distance really quick using mechanics similar to bomb jumping? :flex:

    It would be nice to have paddles/oars if boats are gonna move that slowly.

    Looks very nice ! It's well done and will be really great for servers like Beo and its ending flood :3
    I hope there won't be any problems if builders do several boats at the same time.
    I feel however that I wouldn't like to be on board if bomb jumpers are waiting on the shore X3

    Looks like a well-placed bomb will be able to one-hit those ships, because if just a single hole got in those it may sink...
    Will this mean Archers are OP against single people swimming across, but bombs and kegs sink entire ships?

    Fyi the boats are not going to go that slow in anything released, it's just for testing sake.

    Okpii: no, the two systems are not compatible with each other, and the new one has fewer bugs (no walking around with the menu to a shop anymore)

    Also I said on one of the YouTube vids that you can still tap c to pick up the nearest thing, no precision required.

  12. Will we be able to tie the ropes to players/objects? Because I would love to be able to tie a rope to the edge of that hill and let my teammates climb up after I bombjump up there. Any class too, would give archers/bombjumping knights a new boost if the builders could make them the rope & then we could help one another over towers. 'Course said rope would need to be insta-broken or w/e

    Have any ideas like this been floating around? Or would such a thing be too hard to implement? Just a suggestion :>

    Airplanes..........Not a great idea.
    For example:
    Your a knight, and you just use an airplane to fly over the enemies structures, whats the point of building towers to stop the enemy, if they can just fly over in a airplane or a hot air balloon, that would just defeat the purpose of KAG's gameplay.

    ANOTHER EPIC IDEA!
    we will need a tower with a room you can walk through, and a huge empty pillar on top. then you put ten, twenty, boats in it, and you just open the doors when you need one!
    A BOAT VENDING MACHINE!

    ..i did not mean that it would work!
    i meant that it would look like an airplane!
    just think: you see someone in a wooden hull, flying through the air at mach 5,
    then I'd say its an airplane. or maybe a rocket.

    Gofio, be nice.

    Yes, though we need to script attaching it to enemies etc that don't specifically ask "attach this to me". We've also got to get cutting ropes working. We're not sure if we want attaching ropes to literally everything to be possible (ie just tying them to the ground probably wont be possible, but sticking a stake in the ground and tying the rope to that probably will be)

    I think attaching them to everything will lead to lots of problems and new forms of griefing. A handful of things to attach to should be enough to open up new forms of gameplay and (hopefully) not too much griefing.

    Smart = automatic = you can't control = you rage because it doesn't work how you wanted. Tap C - see body - quickly tap C again to get rid of it and get Catapult. A whole 3 seconds. You'd live.

    Personally I don't think menu will be too bad, it certainly would have saved me in a few sticky situations...
