#Acrobat ability suggestion

An ability that allows the player to cancel upwards momentum or make you fall quicker. Something like that would allow for some more precise vertical-wise maneuvers. I don't know how useful would that be during battles but I have noticed that moving through small gaps (while flying) can be bit annoying (may depend on one's personal definition of annoying but still). Yes, indeed definitely a niche problem. Maybe could be made cooler if it was doing some damage or something (??). Ah and also people seem to complain about the pirouette sending people to high up so maybe that could be a non obvious solution.
PS: I would like to hear some feedback on that if you are in a feedback giving mood. Downvote is also feedback but I'm more interested in text feedback.
***tl;dr:*Just read the first sentence and maybe the second one.

Who is complaining about pirouette sending the player too high? It's like the same height as whirlwind

in other words more precision for vertical movement

The OP says ppl are complaining that pirouette sends the player too high

#

I do agree that it would be nice to have some more downward mobility on acro but its definitely not a huge issue

#

it's not really a problem in combat more of a qol feature for moving around

#

acros also already got quite a few abilities so I wouldn't add a new one just modify some existing abilities maybe

dense sierra
#

make downwards dash a thing 🙏

dapper flume
#

What's up with that tbh

#

like, teleport doesn't actually stop fall damage for a short period of time, only resets it

#

You can't immediately tp to the ground to make it easier either

try??????

#

wait you arent the original poster sorry for flaming

dense sierra
#

fr tho i don't think it actually makes you dash downwards

cedar finch
#

nah you basically just fall tbh

#

just cuz of how. velocity works

#

it gives you like a tiny boost but that basically doesnt matter

#

and i dont see a good way to make downwards dash exist because of this

dense sierra
#

idk the official minecraft code term for it I'm just basing off of dfire

cedar finch
#

it does launch you

#

the launch just isnt super helpful downwards 💀

dense sierra
#

ok but can it be?

#

like if you can make it happen upwards it can happen downwards, right

cedar finch
#

well it gives you the same amount of velocity push i am pretty sure

#

it just does different things to your movement depending on where the push is aimed

dense sierra
#

which means.....

#

(what does it mean in simple minecraft terms)

cedar finch
#

u go down but also it feels like falling becuz ur falling

dense sierra
#

oh.

dense oar
#

Desolate dive in wynncraft?!?!
Actually it sounds cool

grim shoal
#

i also tried dashing downwards and maybe it actually pushes you downwards, sorry i might have not noticed, but it's still not a big change to your momentum as you are already falling as space flower noises said

grim shoal
#

i would like to highlight the "not a big change to your momentum"

#

i also might have stated it a bit like i meant it to be new a ability (but i certainly didn't do it directly), which is a bit misleading because it can as well be an old ability slightly changed

#

so mb

cedar finch
#

i mean i dont actually know how feasible it is but every spell that can pull you downwards is a constant movespeed until you reach the target or at least to a much greater degree than dash is and changing dash (since it cant just be changing it to go down) would change the entire feel of the spell. to the extent of my understanding

grim shoal
#

yeah that's fair

dense sierra
#

man i wish coding is simple

cedar finch
#

ME too

viscid hazel
#

pirouhette is sending you too high? dont fucking take it lmfao

dense sierra
#

changing dash
i was actually thinking it could be an acrobat node, like aimable multihit

#

so shadestepper/trickster would be unaffected

viscid hazel
dense sierra
#

you and your agenda

viscid hazel
#

yes.

grim shoal
cedar finch
#

sugo do not mention change weathered major id challenge

grim shoal
#

i just heard it somewhere ok?

viscid hazel
cedar finch
#

out of all the spells that can take you downwards
-haul has a much sharper pull. this would fuck up dash, but still you're just falling after like a second of the pull
-escape and charge are shift to go down at a constant rate faster than falling
-grappling hook is again a much sharper pull than dash towards a block
so yea idk

cedar finch

#

maybe going down with dash could be triggered only with a special combo like righting reflex+looking+dash down or whatever

#

thats my idea anyway

cedar finch
#

uh

#

i dont really think acro needs it honestly

grim shoal
#

ok then

cedar finch
#

i also dont reeeeally think itd make you more precise for what you're describing

viscid hazel
#

also

#

pirhoutte allows u to do dash -> multi while looking down cycle

grim shoal
#

thats cool

dense sierra
#

wait you can proc pirouette multiple times with mob pull from multi??

grim shoal
cedar finch
#

i love bringing the despairing crawler in tna up to the barrier ceiling so it despawns and my team has to wait another 5 minutes for the objectives to restart

grim shoal
#

(not a native speaker)

cedar finch
#

it would (i was too lazy to add the apostrophe to something that is debatably not a word in the first place)

grim shoal
#

ty

dense sierra
#

i still think it'd be nice for acrobats to have more control over their height, especially with how ridiculously high pirouette sends you

#

been wishing for downwards dash to be a thing even before assassin changes were announced

#

tho i get that it's hard to implement, and honestly idk what I'd want for acrobat either

#

waiting for yourself to fall to a good height kinda ruins the momentum, imo

grim shoal
#

yeah this is what i kinda meant

#

i mean it's only a suggestion so if ct think that it's a bad idea then i trust them

#

i personally think that it can also be an opportunity to add some more dps for acro if that's needed. for example dancing blade damage could be scaled with the height you are coming from but that might be too op

cedar finch
#

dancing blade already stacks with the number of times you cast dash while being midair

grim shoal
#

oh

cedar finch
#

yea its a lesser known "mechanic"

grim shoal
#

well then it's already op pls dont nerf

cedar finch
#

yyyup

grim shoal
#

op in a good way 😉

cedar finch
#

its not that broken

dense sierra
#

yeah kinda fits with acrobat gameplay, especially if it resets when you land

cedar finch
#

theoretically u can do infinite damage but you have to spam dash while flying for like an hour

young marten
cedar finch
young marten
#

why 💀

cedar finch
#

well now you guys do i guess

young marten
#

yeah but shoilsnt it be in the ability description

cedar finch
#

nah its not intended lol

grim shoal
#

well if you know about it and you are consciously not removing it (hopefully) then it is kinda intended now

cedar finch
#

and my demo was not convincing like... at all

#

and then ive been busy. it happens

grim shoal
#

ah

#

what a misfortune

cedar finch
#

.

grim shoal
#

yeah i know tho it's a bug and should be fixed

grim shoal
#

||but pls dont||
