Slide mechanic? [It was talked about at CitizenCon but hasn't been mentioned for 3.23.] Is that still intended, or is it back to the drawing board?asked by Stratholme
TL;DRSliding won't be in 3.23, and it is intended as a stamina-costly, defensive, commitment action rather than an arcadey one, with no further details yet.
Sliding won't be in 3.23, but in general, I've seen a lot of cause for concern around this potentially being very arcadey. And obviously, we don't want that to be the case. It's primarily a thing that is used to get into cover. For example, in our game, when we talk about what a slide is, it has a high stamina cost. You can't fire whilst you're going into the slide. You can't ADS while going into the slide. It's basically a full-body commitment action, primarily designed to be defensive. I've seen some concerns about initial bursts of speed when you go into the slide and things like that, but obviously our intention is to make this a slide that makes sense in the universe of the game, and that is what we are planning to do. No details for 3.23, but obviously as we go on, more will be revealed.
