In Response To: Re: Some thoughts. (SonGoharotto) : It's one thing. ONE THING. : I guess I give the average player more credit than you do. I think you're misunderstanding me, I'm not suggesting it would be difficult to manage, I'm suggesting it would be annoying. : Your argument assumes that I would make Jetpack a spawn option. Rather, I : would treat it like a power weapon. One, maybe two on a map, no more. Just : having Jetpack is not a dominating factor because it means you're : sacrificing something else. As RC Master pointed out, that kind of depends on the map design. : I considered giving the Jetpack a fuel gauge as a way of balancing it, but : that comes with a host of its own problems. : A limited resource leads to Hoarding Syndrome: "I won't waste X now : because I might need it later." That dissuades experimentation and : exploration. You mean like with the rocket launcher? I ask because with that it doesn't seem to dissuade anyone. : It's also very likely that you might run out of fuel and strand yourself in an : even worse situation. Forcing a player to revert to a checkpoint breaks : immersion. A fuel gauge also means the player would be juggling Jetpacks : as he finds them, to stay 'topped up', which is even more distracting. I have, on more than one occasion, attempted to juggle every single unused Sentinel beam, and on several more occasions every unused Sentinel major beam, all the way across Sacred Icon. You can imagine how upset I was when I lost the vast majority in the last two plug lock doorway things. I'm not sure where I'm going with this any more... but I wasn't suggesting limited fuel for the jetpack before, in case you thought I was.

You cannot fall off the floor.
