[Mod] Gravity Distortion

[Mythallar]

Greetings fellow Tenno.

 

So, the other day I was thinking of a way to make aiming and jumping more interesting.  Currently, if you hold aim and jump, you get about a second to shoot before you're back on the ground.

 

Here is a rough mock up I made earlier: (Hope the image works properly!)

 

 

Something like that.  The variables could be changed if you wish, it could be stronger / weaker or cost more / less etc.  As I said, this is just a rough version.  As for where it goes, well it would either be equipped in your Warframe itself, or possibly in your Sentinel - seeing as there aren't exactly a lot for them right now.  The functionality would work just like the low gravity in nightmare modes, EXCEPT it only slows YOURSELF down.  No enemies.  No other Tenno.  Not your bullets.  Just your fall speed.

 

It would only allow you more time in the air to shoot stuff (and look incredibly stylish while you're at it!).  Think of Rhino Stomp victims, except on yourself and keeping control of your character rather than flailing around on the ground afterwards.

 

Let me know what you think, and thanks for reading.

I like this idea  alot, but the trick is going to be that people will want to tune it up and down when the mod system doesn't let you go backwards.

Nice idea and its nice you put some work into making that little mock up. It's definitely something which would add a lot of fun to bullet time style attacks kinda like the Max Payne games, but I'm wondering how it'd be executed with other "normal time" players.

it'll probably slow you down while falling and holding down the RMB... which isn't necessarily good, unless it slows down everything else... which is crazy.

 

But hey, great job with the mod. :D

Certainly interesting but it wouldn't really be practical. Every enemy can't slow down every time one person jumps and aims. Works great for single player games and I've enjoyed plenty of games which use bullet time, but it simply is not co-op compatible. 

[FrostSpecter]

I clicked on this thread thinking it would be a "single-person low-gravity" mod - to make jumping around more interesting. I'd be more inclined to see that than...this.

 

Interesting idea, but I don't think it'll fly in coop.

I think all it means is more air time for the tenno. Doesn't affect anyone else at all. So essentially he gets a better vantage to shoot from by making a leap of faith into the air above a bunch of them.

[Mythallar]

Sorry if I wasn't exactly clear with the first post, but it wouldn't slow other players or slow time - just make you fall slower is all.  Mighty-Yool is correct with saying that it would just affect yourself, so I wouldn't have thought it would be an issue for co-op.  If being a target for incoming fire is an issue, just release the RMB and fall at normal speed again.

Might be a problem if your trying to run like mad from from a bunch of guys that can 1 shot you.

So basicly matrix

Would be more useful if it just generally reduced fall speed rather than just limited itself to dive shooting.
