Could Characters Learn to Step Over 1 Foot objects

sami.uotilaeb17_ESO

Hi,

I'd love to see our agile fighters not get "stuck" on low level objects.

Maybe code slower movement when auto-stepping over 1 foot or smaller things. This way encouraging to jump over to keep the speed, but Characters still would be intelligent enough to complete these every day movement things without problems.

Thank you

But if I'm not constantly jumping everywhere how will I level acrobatics?

I had an opposite reaction running through Greymoor the other day. Launched like twelve feet into the air running over some corner piece of a boulder.
Jumping/vertical movement in this game is really bad. You stall a lot and lose momentum strangely. Wish they would clean it up and make it more intuitive. You either get stuck on tiny things that you shouldn't and then you try and jump over it and move like an inch forward and bounce off of the shin-high item.

How about when you're running and you jump to try and get over a rock or fence or something and instead of jumping over it you jump into it and proceed to slide to the side several feet before your momentum runs out and you fall to the ground?

This is really annoying when using line of sight in PvP. Several times I've had my character get stopped dead (literally) by a tiny piece of rubble sticking out of the ground.

So if you are wondering why PvPers jump around so much when running around obstacles - yeah, it's not done in order to look like a complete moron, but to prevent dying from geting stuck on unwalkable terrain.

WORST.PHYSICS.EVER.

Mario Bros. did a better job, like 35 freakin years ago!

Yeah, because Mario Bros was a 3d mmo.

I wish. I have a whole library full of games where it would sure be nice if I could just walk up some stairs.

swtor's Inquisitor seethe animation can self cancel if there's a pebble in the way.
Pick an Assassin's Creed game.
Tomb Raider games.
Dragon Age Inquisition.
BDO, DDO, GW 2, and it can go on, virtually any game I've played with a jump feature will make you use it at the oddest times...

Bring back wall climbing from Daggerfall plox.

Some of the rooms in the IC sewers straight up stress me out because of how many things I get caught on.

Yes. This is my total favorite part of the game. I also like how you are frozen for the entire time. I don't want anyone to think that means that having my character stop for no apparent reason is not also fun. Especially when, upon inspection, I find a small rock in my path that must have a collision area the size of Vermont.

</sarcasm>

Anyway. If we did not have to jump around like rabbits, it would not be an Elder Scrolls game.

Awwww! this is definitely a pete peeve of mine in this game, hehe. What's even more annoying to me is that on a horse it's even more ridiculous. They can get tripped up over a pebble the size of a flee...

JinMori

what if we actually had an acrobatic skill and the more we move and jump etc the better we get at it?

Destai

I dunno man, my sorcerer spent all his points on learning to summon extraplanar beings. Stepping over that branch is...beneath him.

Ok, threw an awesome down your chimney for making me laugh.

A foot? I was running up a wood plank ramp in Karwasten and my character insta-stopped at a point where one board was slightly higher than another like I ran into a wall...

There should be a way to tweak the physics so that anything less than X units does not register as an obstacle.

I constantly get stuck on things I can barely even see.

Not to mention NPC's all being NFL linebackers that can stop a horse and then casually push it out of the way. I hate that, NPC's should have their collision mechanics tweaked as well.

Nothing can stop me!!

(except maybe that small handful of pebbles strewn in my path).

This is a huge problem in PvP areas where getting stuck on a random 6-inch board can turn the outcome of a fight.

This issue and collision-enabled NPCs are probably two of my biggest pet peeves in the game.

It would be nice if it at least diverted you left or right around an obstacle when it decides you can't step over it. Instead it just stops you dead and then when you try to jump over it you just go up and down because you're too close - I mean, it's just a pebble, it shouldn't need a run up! It makes such a faff of something you shouldn't even notice

The game is full of enough bugs as it is that make life harder than it should be, but jumping in general and getting hung up on scenery is just an 'icing on the cake' game mechanic that makes a player 'grrrr'....
