"Drop Down Ladder" option can lead to death or broken bones
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In my opinion there is at the moment one glaring issue:
the drop down ability cannot be aborted, once you glide down you glide until you reach the bottom. depending the height this leads to broken feet or immediate death.

So i suggest two possibilities:

  1. you cannot hurt yourself/die when using the drop down option. For the sake of being authentic the safe slow down right before hitting the floor shall be implied by using the animation. However this could also easily be abused leading to ppl exclusively using the drop down option, so there is then
  1. allow to abort the animation. you can't abuse the mechanic anymore as you need to abort the animation at the right moment to come to a full halt. This method however is prone to lag and possibly desync.

So what are you going to choose? the red or the blue pill?

Hello joe_mcentire and thank you for the report.
The option to drop down from the ladder has been implemented to work like this. The way to prevent damage is to drop from lower heights.
