Mizar Korobase Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 The elevators located in either tower on the defensive wall are undergoing field testing to determine their performance in various states of lag.You will notice that there are call buttons located on any of the available floors, and these may be clicked to bring the elevator to that floor.You may also click the elevator directly to select which floor to go to.In order to use the elevator or the call buttons you must wear the main Ordo tags and be relatively close.

Anlysia Gregoire Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 And don't put prims in the elevator shaft or Mizar will EAT YOUR F***ING FACE.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sekonda Huet Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 What's the point of these elevators? Each level is within jumping distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keno Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Couldn't we just have a spirally ramp thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akurei Sieyes Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Replace the elevator with a trampoline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyphre Iredell Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Only if they're teleportation trampolines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dascede Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 The elevators make things much easier.. if you put a ramp there or just left it empty, it'd be a bit harder to get to the top.I like the elevators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellervo Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Yeah, the elevators are handy. In the heat of combat, it'll be rather difficult to climb up stairs, especially if we're being besieged by a laggy military like the GR. An elevator may have some performance issues, but it's more reliable then trying to run up a circular staircase while being pelted with dozens of orange prim-dodging bullets.

Dascede Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Or trying to jump six times and failing each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sekonda Huet Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 They are some 2ft under the jump height of an avatar so if your missing them you have really bad aim. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyphre Iredell Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Yeah, any non-moving object is more reliable in 'the heat of battle' than anything else, including ramps and stairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeriese Descenna Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I agree. We don't need elevators in those little towers. If they're there, I'm just going to jump. My legs are superstrong >:O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze Wiles Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Agreed, they seem little more than a gimic, a fun gimic to mess around with, but a gimic none the less, the first floor is reachable by jumping, getting to the roof could easily be solved by just putting a pole arm sticking upright with a target on it to use the grapple on, since everyone who needs to get up there has that (maybe disguise it as a flag pole?) plus it would stop the annoying instance of backing up from the ledge and falling though the elevator shaft because someone called the elevator away when your not looking x.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mizar Korobase Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 Once again, do note that the elevators are there for field testing purposes. Mostly I'm just observing how they operate in lag to determine appropriate placement in the city build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
