It still sort of happens sometimes like sometimes I will bounce backward off of the white hallways door in Union Hill!

Omg, Teh Barrel Roll was the best!!! They took it out for stupid reasons, I demanded it back a few times and the hostage which was a kitty, did not make it, idk appearntly SOE doesn't give into demands of Paying Customers...

I loved this move though, sure it was used to sploit but it made pvp so much fun, attacking someone with a knife, rolling back, then forward, only to do it again, was hilarious. lol

Ask any Vets from Iterator, they will tell ya, our national passtime was teh barrel roll, and I for one would like to see it back kthxbaiBBQ.

No, no they didnt, they took it out of the game because you used to be able to get 10000 feet above mara and also used to be able to do all sorts of exploits with it like climbing through building floors and walls.

Certain players who were caught using this suffered more then a warning, i believe one had all his abilities stripped from him as punishment.

Oh yeah, Pointless request.

Dam, crazy. How the boogery did doing a diving roll make you float  

I would say it's a pointless request, just someone that only experienced it 2 months before the change, and enjoyed jumping off of buildings he he. I asked why, i got told and it also seems as though i'm not the only one curious about it and would like it back.

For it to come back it would require a well known thing in the matrix "A purpose" and i cannot see a purpose at this point in time for this maneuvere to be brought back into the game other then "It looks cool".

A feck, might aswell take out perps and Fx's then since they 'only look cool.'

Endo, you're dreary and always put a downer on everything... go away lol

but ya can still float in mara lol

FX have a purpose, they're rewards for handing in tokens from the completion of archived missions, alot of them are symbolic to the archived missions as well (I.e Code eyes The missions are full of Unlimits).

And i dont always put a downer on everything you should be happy i'm telling you how it is.

Well i suppose hes got a point like lol you have no hope in getting this back. As he said it serves no relevant purpose other than to look cool but causes alot of problems. Your asking for something back using the reason it was removed, really no hope trying. Fixing the effects it caused was clearly alot more difficult than just removing the cause itself.

I think atleast theres better things out there we could be asking for (:

*cough*

you'll defaultabley do it when u run into brick walls. its not like you can do it when ever you want like before...

heh. was quite fun, i miss it alot. would be nice to see the devs fix the sloits so this can be brought back...

wtb this back, i remember doing it in the old days.

I have to disagree with the statement about there being no reason to bring this back because it serves no purpose other than looking cool.  IMO everything you see in anything Matrix related is there becase it looks cool, be it the films, Animatrix or any of the games related to the frachise.  After the coolness aspect comes the purpose/reason, like dodging ranged fire for example.

I'm up for bringing the roll back and other animations that were taken out.  Why you ask?  Because they're cool!  I'm still praying for multi-fighting's return...because it was super cool!  Put a set amount of people/NPC's in interlock at one time that cannot be passed.  Time wise it doesnt seem any different to me right now when you run into a room full of NPC's and have to take them out one at a time individually except, coolness factor is gone.  Put an accuracy penalty on anyone firing into multi-fight simply because there are multiple combatants and the chance of hitting friendlies is high.

Sorry for sorta going off topic there but yeah, bring back the rolls
