[Skiing + Momentum]

devs please look at this video

notice the quietness of the skiing in t1, and the relaxation you can get by just moving around. PLEASE make t:v more like this. even when the skier hits a bump its not an intrusive horrible experience relaying damage etc.

PLEASE. this is part of the t1 zen.


cant you do this in TV?

not really, too easily you will take damage, crater etc, while in t1 it was just, "bump"
plus t1 skiing/jetting sounds were just much better balanced

One thing I have noticed is that high speed it is much easier to change direction than at low speed. Would you consider that a bug? It seems to me that it is exactly backwards to what real physics would dictate.
That is backwards from real life.

That video was taken in my T1 Vengeance mod. I run it in my server called "The Future"...

Hit B to toggle into (almost) frictionless mode.

It depends on how steep the exit of the other side of the bowl is.


If I say hit a bowl that has sides like this:
|
\ _
Then yes, it will send you flying at an angle perpendicular to where I was heading.
If you're hitting a bowl that's more like this:
`-
It's going to send you much straiter.

For instance capping south to north on the pheonix side of winterlake lines
you up for a couple nice bowls on the other side of the lake
(it helps to hit a booster).


I really have no problem with the skiing physics...
I think what a lot of people are missing is that T:V's skiing is sliding. T1's was "falling with style". It was jumping rapidly, so a lot of the time was spent in the air, rather than hitting all the little bumps along the terrain.

*for the record, I really know squat about physics

in other words T1 and T2 where more oriented toward jetting and less gravity. TV feels damn heavy.

Didn't a Dev say so at one point?

This is the reaction to T2 soup. When the first alpha and pre-alpha T:V videos came out, alot of people complained that the gravity looked too low. I think T:V's gravity is actually still lower than T1's, but the terrain and jets make it seem otherwise.

Wrong, it's harder at high speeds, especially heavier armours.
