Ah! Blinking

<div class="IPBDescription">question</div> The new blink lets you cloak and move forward realy fast i have read.

1) Rumors are that it will explode mines, but you wont take damage

2) How will it work over uneven surfaces? Will you stop?

any other blink quetsions post here.

i actually think that it moves you faster in the derection u are facing, not sure about the mine thing, but, oh well we'll just have to wait to find out

ooh i never thought of that one, a super speedy fade would be much like a double leaped skulk, able to get through mines without taking the damage? that would be bad...

anyway, my question of blink; if all it is is fast walking, how easy is it to get up ladders without taking fire? like going from the red nodes in reactor room to cargo on tanith, you have to go up a ladder, presumably being slowed, then flounder in midair because you went up too fast, like a skulk celerity racing up a cliffside, then would you have to wait for a darn door to open?

I suppose you can jump on uneven surfaces

That_Annoying_Kid · May 2003

1) i dont know

2) this is how i understand it (and i'm pretty certain this is correct):

the blink is an "attack", just like swipe. the diff is it doesnt do any damage

let me put it this way. imagine blink was a pistol, and your swipe was your lmg. to use your blink (pistol) you would have to select it and fire it. if you then wanted to attack (with the lmg) you would put your pistol away and then pull out yout lmg to attack.

basically, you can't blink and attack at the same time, so yes

I've heard no reasons on why you can't take damage. The marine would have to spray and pray to hit you though. Or they could just be very smart.

Frogg2 · May 2003

when pressing fire with blink selected you cloak and then move forward very fast until you release fire.

You <b>can</b> take damage while blinking.

You can trigger mines but at the speed you are going you take little or no dmg.

Also the blink continues when you hit uneven surfaces, sometimes you can hit a small ramp and fly thru the air.

The fade blink is being changed at the moment... because some parts of it is bugged.

So you can no longer blink upwards and get onto platforms and stuff? You can only blink to areas you could conceivably walk. Is that a correct statement?

Jabba_The_Hunt · May 2003

Cool the new blink sounds great, just one question though.

Can you change direction while blinking?

lagger · May 2003

Yes you can change directions, And... basically yes frahg unless you find a ramp and use blink to hop onto something <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>. *you can catch VERY big air with the new blink*

Frahg · May 2003

COOL! I like the new blink. An idea just popped into my head: It would be awesome if you came into full visibility ever second or so... blinking in and out, so to speak...

Just a thought. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

I am willing to bet that there is gonna be a custom map made just for blink. Heh a skateboarding fade map.

Jink_Jink · May 2003

ROFL... Tony Hawk Style

*fade uncloaks above 3 marines doing a 720 backflip in the air, then disapears*

Battousaix · May 2003

MadFunk · May 2003

Just wondering, what is the current 'blink' effect? Is it just the same blue cloud? Or is something different?

StoneToad · May 2003

LOL that would rock. Or at least have ramps and stuff places on maps so that fades can use them to get to nice ambush places.

kroxigor · May 2003

I would have to say the funnest part with this new blink, is finding a slanted brush(or ramp, anything, even walls that have slants a the bottom) and using that to gain air. Its really awsome if you jump at the right time you are like a car going off a ramp or something.
