There will be alot more to the patch than an /afk command...if there will even be a command.

Relax.

That's not the point. The point is, why even waste space in the article talking about it, when far more interesting things could have been discussed? With so little new information these days, what little we get shouldn't be wasted on silly little fluff filler.

Why did we opt for adding a trail to Hyperjump rather than getting rid of the Mario jump?

-_-

Eh... I've always hated the little trails we've had already.... Can we get some way to turn these off completely? I've never liked air trails in video games; they always kills the realism.

"We" did not opt for this. This was a dev/community summit decision. There were several good ideas in the development roundtable thread that for one reason or another will never see the light of day. I will point out the most obvious solutions that could have worked:
1. Remove ctrl-space hyperjump
2. Add a tracking ability

Remove /face and add contrails! Brilliant.... err, I'm sure that's what someone thought. I sure am glad we have players on the qa server testing this stuff.... oh wait, nvm.
This has nothing to do with "community summit." I've never posted there.

CTRL-Space hyperjump is never going to go away, because Walrus and I like it.

Tracking abilities are something we're currently planning.

The takeoff contrails were a minor visual addition that I think people will find useful, particularly those who complained that when someone hyperjumped, all they could see was that that person had vanished from view. I seem to recall some of your factionmates saying that, although of course I could be mistaken there. If it turns out that everyone hates them, we can take them out.

So any plans to remove the glitch where you can hyperjump in reverse?

I don't think we know about that one. I remember a certain rodent saying something about being able to jump, then jump back to where you started just before landing, and I mentioned that to NoRepro, but he said he couldn't...repro it. But I don't know if he's ever had definite steps to follow for it.

Tell Repro this one.

 

ctrl+space, wait till halfway through hyperjump, let go, hit ctrl+space again.

 

Tada...or something to that effect.

... they do look nice enough, I suppose, but I also hope there's a way to turn them off.  I'd also like to reiterate the general desire to be able to turn off all of the large, annoying, wacky, out of place visual effects that are related to hacking and status effects.

While I can see the point of adding these "jump trails" in regards to tracking and PVP, it goes against the community's general agreement that we want less flashy noticeable effects and not more of them.
