LOVED the Grappling Hooks

Just wanted to say I loved those hooks! It would be great to see these posts become available in more zones as it's a real kick to swoosh around Indiana Jones style and explore places. Excellent new toy.

    Same here, but it should make sense to use them in places that are not normally easy to access, without them being necessarily prohibited/not meant to access.

    But If I had grappling hook, I wouldn't have to walk, so win-win

    They were ok, IMHO.

    Never been a fan of one trick ponies. Like in the original Star Trek series, One episode the Away team had to give a security code or they would not be beamed back to the ship. Of course, that was the only episode where that was an issue.

    Would have liked to have had a bit more instruction. "Get the grappling hook" - OK, I got it. "Use the grappling hook" - Excuse me? Where do I point this thing? "Not telling you".

    TY Google.

    It's regarding the Grappling Hook which gets used in the Dragonhold Prologue quest and supposedly all throughout Southern Elsweyr

    I mean like murkmire had this reused mechanic though it was just throwing some fire ball at a plant.

    Personally I thought they were tacky, just another copy and paste of the fire plants in Murkmire.

    I thought it was fun!

    Not just the method for getting around, but also the puzzle element too. Would like to see this implemented in say a couple of new delves/dungeons per zone :)

    I wanted the grappling hook puzzles to be a puzzle, not a guided tour.

    It was kind of a cool mechanic, which hopefully we'll see again. Certainly as a housing furnishing item; people could create fun playgrounds with it.

    I think it looks cool and a great way to add more verticality in their levels, maps.

    It's an interesting and fun mechanic. Reminds me a lot of the grappling hook in Batman: Arkham Asylum, which is a great game.

    Also remind me of the hook mechanic in Doom 3, when they went PvP. So it could be an awesome addition to gameplay if using it can be made fluid.

    One challenge they will have... please don't make using it the Synergy key, it will make it really hard to use if you're on console or using a controller.

    I want this mechanic to be available in our houses <3 We could create some awesome interactive routes to hidden places with it.

    Absolutely, first thing I thought on using them. Can save space too instead of awkward stairs or ramps.

    Just wanted to add that I enjoyed the prologue quest too - at least in part due to the grappling hooks.

    They reminded me of the grappling hooks used in Stormheim in World of Warcrafts Legion expansion that launched 8/30/2016. Except those worked from a much farther distance.

    The animation was much smoother than I expected. They did a good job with them.

    I barely spent any time in Murkmire or Clockwork City.
    CC gives me a headache.

    Summerset and Northern Elseweyr are beautiful places to hang ...

    That's the problem with the GH. You have to locate THE specific post or its worthless.

    You should be able to target the top of a wall or rock structure anywhere and have it work.


    IMHO

    Dragonhold prologue. They introduce grappling hooks.
