Shield gliding up walls glitch

All according to plan(?)

 

When I said mobile I was talking about versatility (my bad for not makeing it clear)

 

We'll you talked about how this makes knight even slower but really this just makes knight even more versitile than he all ready is

 

Kinda seems like a glitch/ exploit to me. If Knights can shield glide up a wall, why not just let them scale it upwards all the way? Generally new to the game myself and seen this implemented once in a game. Very valid points brought up about how easy it is to have an overhang of 2 tiles on your walls to counter this action.

But I personally feel that this shifts way more power to the Knight class. With this influx of newer players, myself included, I had no idea this was even possible until I witnessed it in the game. I think I even called the dude out on glitching, to their reply that "if it was a glitch, they would fix it"

So let's try and get this hammered out, either definitively if it is a glitch that will be fixed, or someone should make a 'How to Video' for all the noobs, and keep the playing field level.

 

It lets them climb up walls infinitely, they couldn't do that before.

 

No, they could just bombjump twice as high as any building could ever get. I totally see your point here. >_>'

It really doesn't add that much. Sure it makes the game even less team-centric.. but still.

 

The fact that knights no longer need bombs to climb walls changes alot

 

They still do unless they're bad walls... Why can't people be bothered to place an overhang or a few wood platforms? What makes that so gamebreaking?

 

Its not game breaking, but can you honestlly put faith in the builders of kag? I mean there are some good ones but for the most part i wouldent trust them with alot..........

 

Then why don't we just remove dirt spikes, trap blocks, and everything else a builder can place while we're at it?

Every tool can be used the wrong way. Giving people reasons to use them the right way is a good thing, those kind of incentives should stay in the game.

 

Arguments for keeping this glitch:
"It's fun."
"It's counterable."
"It requires skill."
"It encourages Builders to use proper techniques."

You guys remember the Knight Zeppelin glitch from Alpha? The one where two or more Knights could band together and float horizontally across the map by laddering each other with their shields?

It was fun.
It was easily counterable by just a single Archer who could actually shoot straight.
It required teamwork and good timing.
It encouraged Archers to be vigilant and keep watch for attacks from more than one place.

... The Knight Zeppelin glitch was removed. This one should be too.


And before you say I probably have some vendetta against "good ol' glitches," I'd like to inform you that using the Knight Zeppelin glitch was one of my favorite things ever. It made me sad that it had to go, but it was a glitch - an unintended feature. And unintended features are not long for this world.

 

I hope it doesn't get fixed as many people have said and I agree "It requires skill." And I cannot nearly get it mastered constantly it may take me 3-4 times and by that time archers have arrived etc.

 

What is the KFC technique?

 

If this gets implemented as a feature (and by that I mean that Knights are given the ability to smoothly climb walls, since bounce-climbing is a bit absurd) I will shut my trap for good and be content to let the devs do what they want, but until such a time, it is a glitch, and I do not approve of it.

I don't have any more points to make, no more argument to keep up, but I'm making sure that those of you who like the glitch know that there are people who don't, and that my opinion has not changed as a result of argument.
