I don't know, I liked running on the hilltops, sprinting for a prime position to snipe from... Now, Every person can do the same, just as fast, without causing keyboard spasms, or team switching.

Crouch jumping was a thing that I really liked, Now, there's no need. Jump and just run.

Since its been disabled whilst crouching I have no problem with autoclimb. A toggle option might be best tho

"If you hold down "Shift"; you won't autoclimb".

At the price of moving at a snail's pace.

@Mozak:
I believe it's left-control actually - as that is the crouch button.

Shift just makes the auto-climbing slower, doesn't stop it.

If you hold down "Shift"; you won't autoclimb.

The game doesn't feel the same after this. Ben, I'm disappoint(ed).

Toggle it.

Like all games, with practice, you even forget you had an issue.

but practice is hard, man.

this is 2011, gamers want easy. the more a game does for them the greater its lure.

i'm hopeful this game will prove me wrong, though!

Hm...I would go for "only while running". Why?
Because I can think of situations like when you are for example in some small hideout up the hill and move around - you don't really want to accidently climb up one block and expose yourself, you just want to sneak left and right to peek out of your covert to snipe the enemy.
So "walking", "crouching" and "ironsights-mode" should disable auto-climbing.

also how about making it so when you crouch you cant fall off the edge of a block? they have this feature in minecraft (I know, dont talk about minecraft) and is really great! it would make building things (especially bridges) SOOOO much easier/faster

Pls don't implement this! It would completely take the thrill out of it. I know it can be frustrating when you build something high up on a bridge and then fall down and die. But that's how gravity works. Just be careful and use crouching and walking while moving. Simplifying some things inside the game can make it easier for newcomers to get into the game but it could also make the game become stale for advanced players faster.

I actually the jumping is part of the challenge, with practice, jumping in a diagonal fashion, I've managed to jump over 10 blocks in a row without miss.
Like all games, with practice, you even forget you had an issue.

Just my 2 cents.

So hold down jump to auto-climb up a hill/mountain is consensus? (i.e. press+hold space + move to walk up hills, not continually jump over and over)

Sounds good to me. Major pain in the arse to have to continually spam around climbing mountains.

Would this also get us out of water?

I agree with Beret.

DUMDUMDUM

Pull-Ups would be cool though. Ability to climb 2-3 blocks height when holding spacebar.

At least I will not have replace spacebar key in near future. Thanks again.

I like danhezee's idea. Hold down spacebar to climb up blocks.

Toggle key with a cooldown system.

Or, taking this to an exaggerated level, make it spawn as a powerup to decrease rapid frontline movement.

I agree with Izzy on the toggle key. It would be great to be able to get to the front lines faster, but it would be really hard to aim if you strafe around and then move up a block accidentally. If there is some way to toggle it, I think this is an awesome feature.

Also, jumping is fine the way it is.

will this allow us to climb ladders?
I glitch sometimes so i get stuck on something like this.

[block] [block]
[block]~~~~~[me]
[block] [block]

the more i think about it the more i prefer auto climb to require a toggle key

I think I might cry out of happiness...[cries dramatically]...[kisses ground at your feet]...I love you...[cries again]...[one more good long cry]

I don't know if this is really needed, but really, I can't tell what this feature is going to be like, yet. I think one big point of games using voxels is having to jump when there is a block in front of you, or go around it

I don't mind having to jump constantly while running- it makes for more frantic duels, and really adds to the concentration and tension when rushing back to base with the Intel. I think it suits the look of the characters, too.

When I'm walking though, it's because I don't want to be heard. There's a big limit to how quiet I can be though because on the open terrain I can't move far without having to jump, which makes a noise no matter what. I'd say either implement it for walking only, or change the jump sound so that it only makes a noise if you're jump-running, or land on a block 2 or more blocks beneath you.

Basically so that you can be stealthy even when having to jump up or down by a single block level.

EDIT: also, with all jumping currently manual, the aiming is always exactly where we expect it to be. It would be a nightmare trying to aim while moving around fast if it meant the aim kept on bumping up or down a fraction just because your body went up or down a bit.

Manual jumping is as quick, or quicker than walking and having yourself automatically go up blocks. This may not be the case for mountains, but it is when you're just trying to get up a block.

Make it so you jump automatically when you hold the spacebar down, like it was before.

I honestly like the original jumping system as it is. Could you make this a toggleable feature in the config.ini settings?

It should be for run mode and walk mode. Not for ironsight mode. You wouldn't be concentrating on climbing when you're try to align a percision shot.

I hate that they made it so holding down space does nothing. It was better when you jump automatically.

i would like run mode + climb and aiming down sights but walking and crouching should be jump to climb

Or you could implement where the user could climb if they held down space. it eliminates constant button smashing and would allow the user to stay on the current block level if they wanted too.

TheOperator said it best

How about autoclimb is functional for running/walking/aiming, EXCEPT when running it will slow you down to walking speed when you begin to climb something.

and of course you will still move slowly while aiming

also how about making it so when you crouch you cant fall off the edge of a block? they have this feature in minecraft (I know, dont talk about minecraft) and is really great! it would make building things (especially bridges) SOOOO much easier/faster
