Slippy Roofs.

Could some of these get removed.

Why are ZOS so against people running on roofs of buildings, and the sliding off them looks kinda stupid. Especially when there are two roofs next to each other, your character slides down one, hits the edge of the other and gets stuck between them while being frozen in that same, weird falling / sliding animation.

    I was actually thinking the same. That destroyed some of my roof-climbing 'immersion' one time when I slid off a roof that I jumped on like Michael Khajiickson on 5 bottles of Skooma.

    I hate that falling/sliding animation! It takes so long to get out of!

    I think it turned up in game about the same time that we started taking decent amounts of damage from falls, which would place it along with the Wrothgar DLC? Funny thing is, it's still possible to jump/fall off a hill and take virtually no damage, if your first landing place is near the top and then you slide all the way down, or if you bounce a couple of times.

    Not to mention when you're trying to jump between a rock crevice and you end up stuck in that animation for eight hours.

    Also when trying to jump up some rocks you do this weird slo-mo slide down them.

    You used to be able to walk along rooftoops a long time ago, but they changed it in one of the first patches. Shame.

    Same thing with the morrowind mushrooms. These convex collisions have been the big problem I've had with this game since launch.

    I think they did it because the constraints for each object is applied globally to each group. So if you change one meshes collision calculations, it will change them all and allow people to get outside of bounds and walls easier.

    Hopefully they redesign some buildings in other zones to allow running across them with the TG, which will feature some buildings you can run across the top of.

    Put this in the same category as invisible walls...

    If we can get up there, we should be able to stay up there!

    I was about to say...this isn't just buildings. Pretty much everything does this. It also seems to have gotten worse. I just came back to ESO after a many month break and it seems I can't jump over anything without "falling" into this stupid looking animation for an eternity. I hate it.

    I remember when I first rolled an alt on EP I spent so long trying to get on one of those damn mushrooms.

    It would be great if there were cities that where the buildings were all compressed together like most medieval cities of the time so that there was a thieves highway you could scamper across and utilise to escape guards, swing down through windows and rob the place and slink of on the roof tops to make your escape in the night.

    No, it's Elderscrolls. And I could run on MOST roofs in other TES games (mainly Daggerfall and Morrowind).

    "I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    How about when we step on a roof we get a new animation involving us falling onto our butt as we slide off. And screaming.
