New Midair Speeds

[G3rman]

I'm not sure if this was actually changed or if its because my warframes are just slower, but I believe our speed we have in midair has changed. Right now, it feels like we are floating on clouds and not actually dropping from a large height.

I think it would be better if very small jumps would have us drop as we used to, whereas great distance drops keep up this slower, more controlled movement.

Yeah, I definitely noticed this; the old gravity was much more.... well, gravity.

I like being airborne. The frames feel really good right now.

i didnt like it at first, but enables a lot more control - so i like it ^^

It's weird. It does make some movement chains easier but also feels less precise in general. The floaty jump sensation is pretty horrible imho and makes the sliding feel oddly off-kilter- like, gravity's stepped out for a breath of fresh air, but friction is still at his post?

I dunno, i'm sure a million halo fans will prefer the floatier jumping. Personally I don't really like it but it's not a dealbreaker by any means :)

I don't think they should have touched it at all with so many other major changes going thru at the same time :)

Having played with it some more:

they made it easier to chain moves together, right?

It's nothing to do with slower fall speeds or so, it's tweaking to the actual movement system's rules, I think.

The combination of new floaty jumps and all frames being slow as hell again thanks to the reset feels rrrrreally bad atm though :(

[G3rman]

It's to give us more time in the air to aim I believe.

[FlanShark]

More or less stopped noticing this after a longish session just now.

Wallrunning/climbing etc seems to have been tweaked up a lot.

The slower fall speed now only feels noticeable when you run/slide over an edge, imho. I guess that's why G3rman said

which i now agree with, for what its worth =)

this was initially my biggest complaint with u7 and it's not bothering me much any more

hopefully future tweaking to come, but i'm no longer desperate ;)

I think they did this to make shooting/chaining actions easier as you fall but it gives it a very unreal feel to the game, I can see its usefullness, but I also see some drawbacks, like jumping into cover from a high point, or doing a melee weapon air-slam, ether way I'm not realling for it right now, maybe it will grow on me.
