A good suggestion

[RobiZ]

So i had an idea today ... I don't know if this have been suggested or already made but anyways...

So basically the idea is : when a character slides on ground (from a hit or on sliding tier) the ground or grass becomes black or dark brown like if it ripped off the grass or damaged the ground...

So what do you think ?

A similar mechanic was in place for the very first open beta. Was removed due to the fact that it looked like shit on slopes ^^

 

[RobiZ]

But there should be something D: like decreasing the opacity or something... I don't know but in videos it feels really empty when there's nothing on ground going on when sliding

i believe they have decals for that sort of stuff

 

[Grega]

Decals cover for direct impacts, sliding is on a way to large area for decals to work properly without either lagging like all hell, or looking like crap when you hit slopes.

Solution: Don't crash into slopes

 

[RobiZ]

oh didn't think about it ... Sliding makes like >50 contacts ... so that makes like 50 decals appear :/ That would be actually really much of lag

Yeah. Besides, I could easily imagine it looking like your character violently excretes while sliding.
