Make Rocks Great Again

[viscid prism]

I'm talking about huge rocks on the normal biome, they used to be very climbable and fun, now (on staging) they are mostly flat, can barely be climbed, but you often can just jump and run up them. This is a step backwards for a game with climbing as one of the main features, it makes the one thing separating Strayed from alot of other games less prominent and for nothing in exchange. Make Rocks Great Again. And not just for one biome - everywhere. I wanna climb stuff.

I don't mind rocks that you can't get on top of at all unless you build, i'm frustrated with those rocks that are just easy to get on top of, and the lack of rocks that are actually somewhat difficult to climb. It's either impossible, or super easy, there's hardly anything inbetween.

i'm pretty sure climbing isn't really a part of the main game the only really reason you were able to climb is so that you could pull yourself over things say like foundations or jump ups

"main game" you mean rust?

[golden sage]

No, I’m talking about Strayed the reason it was added is so that people could pull himself up over lips and other things that they couldn’t jump over. It wasn’t meant to be a full on climbing system granted the new rocks do make it harder to climb, but most of the time you can find spots to walk up and run up

is it the only reason? it does much more than that, and the game for the most part utilizes that, seems more like a full on climbing system from the start

and i DO want to climb rocks instead of just running up them, that's what made them interesting in the first place, now they are more dull

[golden sage]

Yeah, but you’re complaining about not being able to climb them and they make it easier and now i’m not catching why It’s a bad thing.

i. want. to. climb. not just jump and run up,i can do that in a plenty of games already, but climbing hits different

i want those moments of sneaking up an angle on a weird rock, figuring it out, deciding if i even want to keep trying to climb it or i should just go around and take a disadvantage but be faster, deciding to keep on climbing, finding a way and finally getting it, or dropping on my ass cause i messed up

being able to just run up a rock deprives of moments like this and i want them back
