Posted March 7, 2008 I'd like the addition of pitons or something similar so we can anchor a rope to a tile. Depending on the length of the rope we can then move up /down it safely without falling. The weight of someone on the rope has an impact on the damage it takes when used, the rope's ql of course reducing that amount. Using the rope would be much less of a stamina drain compared to unassisted climbing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 7, 2008 Maybe allow tieing of ropes to trees to assist in climbing down with each rope (0.5kg) being a certain length (3 tiles?), so if you need longer you would need to combine ropes first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 7, 2008 simple, but brilliant idea. love it. +1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 7, 2008 would definately allow for more exploration of remote mountains.............wait i live on one of those..... could be very interesting if done properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 7, 2008 If one player came across another player traveling up or down a rope can the player cut the rope or chop the tree down and they fall? Could a grappling hook be added to then allow a player to climb over a wall? The idea is nice but I can see it being abused immediately Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 7, 2008 This might give ropes a perpose, rather then just dragging animals and draining traders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 7, 2008 Grab trees, grab hand would be nice. I hate to see my friends fall down when they are right infront of me, rofl! And specially when it is a tree that I only slide off when I fall on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 7, 2008 The problem is getting up in the first place, not getting down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 8, 2008 A very good idea, as one who spends most of his time on top of a mountain, around and on sheer rock faces, I can say that would be very handy. Perhaps magnify it's effect for those with higher climbing skill? Just a suggestion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 9, 2008 You should be able to repel down a rock cliff and mine while suspended in air ... Or you could just make a mine on the ground and find the same stuff but hey where's the fun in that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 9, 2008 For when usable mounts are included, rope+2 trees = surprise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2009 I like it, but only for the rappelling down steep hills part. That means you can easily cement it to a tile border, then "drag" or something similar to get down the slope. I also think the length of the rope should equate to how many dirts you can climb down safely before dropping. Something like 10 dirts per kg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2009 wasnt this suggested previously? along with crampons, ladders and a bunch of other things? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 27, 2009 I love this...it should be on GV. Another use for steel for pitons/grapple hooks perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 27, 2009 So like .50kg rope/tile (might wanna cap it at 20 tiles at a time)w/ a grappling hook on it to throw and lower stamina usage for the climb of that section by say 80% ? Mechanics: My 10kg kg grappling rope which I threw a couple times before catching hold 20 tiles up the cliff allows me to climb with about an 80% stamina reduction. Sounds grrrrrreeat !

Add possibility of rope breaking (ql dependant), plus ability to regain stamina (slowly) when you stop moving Make it so the hook can catch in trees, but not in grass Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) The necrobump to end all necrobumps. Spoiler This was an excellent idea. Would love to see it added at some point. Would make mountain climbing a lot more realistic than stam sandwiches and fence ladders. EDIT: To add on the original suggestion, being as ropes don't actually have length, perhaps it could be one rope per 1-3 tiles and either use stam or act kind of like a ladder. You climb up one and hang onto the rope, if you activate climb at that point you can move off the rope, if you don't activate climb and move off you fall. Link multiple ropes together and climb all the way up and down. Regardless of whether it's stam based or like a ladder I think it would be a wicked idea and add a whole new element to exploration.
