diving instead of jumping into the water

[Naomi]

This seems to me a more realistic and contemporary nice feature. When you jump into water that is not shallow, or when u go from shallow water to deep water, the ava actually dives!

Movements like these would make entropia way fancier, imagine prince of persia moves in entropia !!!

other ideas:

deathrides
rolling down hills
acrobatics (could include new skills) (gz, you've unlocked summersault)
-- also good for evading in pvp?

when the avatar reaches a certain speed (athletics etc), it runs as in the 100 meter sprint
when the avatar reaches a certain speed (swimming), it swims in crawl, if not in school.

jumping on the back of an atrox, spider-riding

give me some more ideas , it would increase the x-factor in Entropia!

the idea is awesome..
but i think the chance of this being implemented in the game.. is kinda low.
they already have problems non-mirroring the tattoo's because of the lag.
imagine every diffrent avatar jumping and making freestyle moves in cities and stuff.

That would be awesome!
That's why it will never get implemented.


I still have my fingers crossed for 2010.

What Eelco said,

The idea is great, but I think there will be a 1PEC Fee for every summersault you do in Cities

The tatoos cause lag because people can create them themselves. If the tatoo is mirrored, it's size can be cut in half = half the loading time. A build in emote do not (should not) create extra lag - unless you have a computer that simply can't handle the graphics.

Well, actually I already jump just for the fun of it when I run over a wall into the water. E.g. when running from PA to the Swamp Camp I pass by the mall and there I leap into the ocean. A little animation would definitely be nice.

But then I also jump off the the viewing balcony of malls... Maybe the developers should implement an if-condition so we don't always dive whenever we jump downwards? Always wear your helmet!
