Should grapples be removed?

This would be a double edged sword. In my opinion, grapples are one of the main things that causes there to be such a huge skill gap. Meaning that if they were to be removed it would make it a bit player for newer players but would frustrate and possibly push away a part of the current player base.

 

We use grapples to play the game at a faster more enjoyable pace. I'm not really wanting to go back to climbing up stuff with ladders, and trying to kill campers.

 

@Rolltop Though that is where we all began in started to love WarZ, and we all adapted and changed once grapples were the meta using the skill we already had. This is what makes it nearly impossible for newer players to join and stay.

 

why dont we make them mu ****ers as rare as diamond ?? that would make them dope to fine and make the usefullness go up while not used in every fight

 

no grapples are fine

this makes them more op

 

The argument that me, liqxh and a couple staff discussed was that if we remove grapples it will be more like 2014 WarZ and MC-War where there is more about skill and tactical playing. Some players suffer from really high ping, including me which hinder us to do specific things with the grapple like grappling up on walls and on the ground which will most likely not work compared to players with better ping.

When there is a ten man team behind you @liqxh had a really good point that if none of you had a grapple it would be more fair than the others having a grapple and their enemy not. At the same time the guy might be an EU player but with lag. I think this will really improve WarZ in a wayto get a more tactical play.

There will also be more fights spread out across the map simply because it’s not the same easy to move which means the fights take longer and are more advanced and at the same time other teams can go to another place without getting grappled rushed by a huge team who were actually going to Snow from Indust Echest. This idea will make it so much easier for new players to understand and work up a skill based gameplay without anyone having advantage because of their loot and ping.

+1, Trial it and see if people enjoy the changes. The whole idea of no grapples is to show a higher skill range instead of sorting out who has the best ping. Thank you for bringing this to a poll.

 

Grapples are nice, but I do prefer the slower gameplay of back in the day. Maybe they could be reworked or something.

 

Yes. Grapples were designed for movement on a large scale but are now being used for micro-movement. Removing grapples makes for an overall better experience for both veterans and new players.

 

Like Dalton said, have a trial period. I'd say remove them when WarZ Free Fridays and events are in full effect, and see how the community handles the change for a few weeks.

 

why not keep them but make them really rare like it would have the best of both worlds without grapples every fight
and it would utilize echest space

 

This would only make them better. As soon as a good player gets their hands on one, it'll be hard to beat them without one. The whole idea is to level the playing field.

 

Utilization of a grappling hook makes the game very fast paced, but I think the game would also be more fun without grappes in my opinion as it shows ones true skill in fights without grappling away every 5 seconds.

 

grapple cooldown 1 minute so we can still grapple up to places

 

Still doesn't remove the ability to micro-move. As I've previously stated, that's the games primary use of grapples.

 

easy fix yall *****s retarded for not coming upo with it:

grapples only work if theres an elevation difference of 2+ blocks
boom solved kappaNoKapa

 

Removing grapples is idiotic. Adapt to the fast play style that allows for easier clutches, and better clips, or leave. It's not hard to throw a grapple at half blocks and the ground. High ping players abuse grapples just like 20ms players do. Ghost peaking around corners with a grapple is insane. We removed grapples once before, and the server died again.

 

In the grand scheme of it it doesn't matter if they're in or not, It's just preference. Also, wanting them gone doesn't mean that person doesn't know how to use them.
