While I love the addition of the static rope bridge is there a possibility of using the horizontal elevator system as an extendable version in the future? It seems like the perfect way to bridge a gap without using a moving platform.
There is no plan, but it was discussed. They couldn’t get it to look good, feel right, and not break on dedicated servers in the time that was necessary. Which is why it wasn’t done, if they could have easily implemented it in a quickly and effective way, they would have. Alex also described many of things you have to account for, the rope physics, getting it to place correctly, making it replicate correctly (a term us modders know very well) and making sure people can’t, as Alex put it, “abuse the crap out of it.”
Alex went to say that it is somewhere on their board, but no final decision in either direction.
As we say here in America, “Better to whole ass 1 thing than to half-ass 2 things…”
