animation ?

we will still have /salute and other ways to find then it just means that if we lose the target well be able to find them more easier

Hardly worthy of an image retrival. But then with the OSotLG hyping /AFK (which is probably being removed from the patch again as it doesn't work; hence no patch this week!) what do we expect? Is there really *nothing* decent left to hype up? Have things really gotten that bad now? *sigh*

There will be alot more to the patch than an /afk command...if there will even be a command.

Relax.

Why did we opt for adding a trail to Hyperjump rather than getting rid of the Mario jump?

"We" did not opt for this. This was a dev/community summit decision. There were several good ideas in the development roundtable thread that for one reason or another will never see the light of day. I will point out the most obvious solutions that could have worked:
1. Remove ctrl-space hyperjump
2. Add a tracking ability

Remove /face and add contrails! Brilliant.... err, I'm sure that's what someone thought. I sure am glad we have players on the qa server testing this stuff.... oh wait, nvm.

This has nothing to do with "community summit." I've never posted there.

CTRL-Space hyperjump is never going to go away, because Walrus and I like it.

Tracking abilities are something we're currently planning.

The takeoff contrails were a minor visual addition that I think people will find useful, particularly those who complained that when someone hyperjumped, all they could see was that that person had vanished from view. I seem to recall some of your factionmates saying that, although of course I could be mistaken there. If it turns out that everyone hates them, we can take them out.

So any plans to remove the glitch where you can hyperjump in reverse?

Tell Repro this one.

ctrl+space, wait till halfway through hyperjump, let go, hit ctrl+space again.

Tada...or something to that effect.

EDIT: hey, this isn't the ask the devs thread... my bad.

I don't think we know about that one. I remember a certain rodent saying something about being able to jump, then jump back to where you started just before landing, and I mentioned that to NoRepro, but he said he couldn't...repro it. But I don't know if he's ever had definite steps to follow for it.

... they do look nice enough, I suppose, but I also hope there's a way to turn them off.  I'd also like to reiterate the general desire to be able to turn off all of the large, annoying, wacky, out of place visual effects that are related to hacking and status effects.

While I can see the point of adding these "jump trails" in regards to tracking and PVP, it goes against the community's general agreement that we want less flashy noticeable effects and not more of them.
