Voidfall failsafe in the Sky Islands and Path of Darkness

Although this is likely to never get added, because ever since gavel reborn, the realm of light and the void had a voidfall failsafe, so that you didn't die if you fell, the Sky Islands and Path of Darkness have remained the exact annoying same ever since they were added

It is extremely lazy to not have a failsafe in these areas, but having it in places where you are barely in such as ROL and the Void (unless you're a proffer), needing a specific class mythic with warrior and mage in order to get out of the void is not good game design, and if you're either an archer or an assassin you just die.

Additionally, during lootruns in the Sky Islands, the lootrun is immediately cancelled if you fall unless you /kill, which wither makes you lose 1 minute of time, or, alternatively, makes you lose the effect of the aqua beacon, and only 2 specific classes can get out of the void, its poorly thought out and a failsafe should be necessary for these areas

(another positive change would be extending the "Return to playable area" timer to like, 2 minutes, but since its been like that since lootrunning was added it'll also never change, and additionally dying shouldn't remove the aqua beacon effect, again, never is going to change sadly as post is honestly just a rant)

 

Won't be an issue in 2.1 given that you won't have soul points

 

One of the many fixes needed so that falling into the void isn't a nuisance anymore (like the lootrun issues). its the most vanilla minecraft thing in wynn

 

Just don't fall lol

 

yeah it would be nice if there was a failsafe in these places

 

but how will the negatives of falling in the void during lrs get changed from that :3

 

only class i have been able to avoid this situation but okay, i guess non-acro assassins do just die.

only problem with this is that you have to go to where you were. In path of darkness, not an issue. However, the sky islands is a large area, (and is also confusing to navigate at times.) It is especially frustrating during lootruns, because say you are at the eastern end of the sky islands, you are traveling around, and then you fall and /kill. Then, you have to navigate all the way back to the eastern area.

Have you ever tried to navigate through one of these areas quickly using movement spells? Unless you have the mythics and are playing on the two specific classes (or one archetype. maybe.) you are as good as dead once you run out of mana.

 

i agree w/ deus, idk if this is going to be as massive of an issue once soul points are gone. either way: it's a bunch of islands floating above a void, falling to your death should be a hazard. it comes with the zone type. movement with care ought to be expected.
