  • Can we at least consider a referendum on hopping?

Just adapt

Keep doing what you're doing Annoying

My frag count drops considerably when I hop, but it’s fun, I can’t help it. The same happens with insane combos, most the plasma balls I shoot must be exploded, because... it's fun, again.

Other guys find their joy spawnkilling, camping next to their flag to get juicy points or just playing TDM for the frag count (often 0 caps, 0 grabs, 0 assists).

If I hop, in each landing I can't shot and it's a very predictable path, we use almost same patterns, easy targets. (I get the most deaths so often)

Sometimes when I defend, I see other hop players easy preys, and it's fun (again) predict their intentions, some good aim (TDM) players tends to camp in same spots, and so on...

Finally we can get to used to all playstyles and try to counter them.

    Ann0ying it says you need to hold "walk" key? dont they mean the "run" key ? the walk key is never used and make you walk slowly.

      Look in the control options, you can see an entry for walk key, you hold the walk key as you land while pressing jump, you don't have to use walk to bounce it just makes it a bit easier.

        Covid_A_Swab It's like the Ann0ying posted video but using the grapple, the easy way is use the grapple in front of you like between -15° to -25° angle pointing to the floor, wait until you're pulled then jump, if you notice a faster movement, you are almost there, just keep jumping on each landing, how to do it?, I use these:

        User.ini

        [Engine.Input]
W=MoveForward
MouseWheelDown=OnRelease XVJumpReleased|JumpRel|DoubleJump|Jump
MouseWheelUp=OnRelease XVJumpReleased|JumpRel|DoubleJump|Jump

        So in short:

        1. keep moving forward
        2. point grapple to the floor with a good angle
        3. as soon as you’re pulled, jump!
        4. faster movement?, a little before landing (almost the same time), jump!
        5. scroll!
        6. go to step 4

        The best map for training this is Hall of Fame (extra large map) in London 2.

          contrary to what Ooper states:

          Ooper you don't have to use walk to bounce it just makes it a bit easier.

          you do need to keep pressing "W" (or whatever your MoveForward key is) otherwise you'll loose momentum..

            LOL if you fuck around enough you can bounce left, right, running backwards it just takes time to learn
            Atezris must have a fancy infinite scroll wheel because I have to time him a little more closely.

              It's pretty self explanatory that you need to use a movement key to move

              jerc

              I got this one, not that fancy, pretty common scroll and very comfortable.

                I just got a new mouse wheel is stiff like a rachet and my right pinky ends up dragging on the mouse pad but it was cheap lol. I got a really nice Roccat with a broken wheel I wonder if I can mod it to infinite scroll when I fix it.

                a month later

                I find it annoying when a player bounces, or bunny hops or whatever it's called with the flag.
                It reduces the game's fun.

                Is it possible to add a poll to see how many people approve this?

                There's really no point in doing it.
                1) Most people playing don't really care much about most things (hell, just try to ask ppl to votekick some obvious aimbotter who didn't even tries to conceal himself - nobody would care - I've seen it back when cowboy was messing around).
                2) Bouncing ain't that big of an issue.
                3) You can get a feeling what "community"s opinion on bouncing just by reading some of the posts above: some defend it as if their life depend on it, others dislike it. And it's kinda close to 50/50ish.

                Most who complain just can't do it other than ooper all the complaints are by non bouncers and he isn't complaining all that hard.

                From what I read above, most players prefer without it, but we won't really know or agree without a poll.

                Anyone can learn how to bounce if he wanted to. Bouncing is relatively new and it's changing this age old loved game without everyone's consent.
                Would have been preferable if it were a mod per map like low gravity.

                Til then, just want the bouncers to know that it's not fun playing with them.

                No one changed anything the IG servers all sit empty because no one wants to be bored to death.
