I played the new update this morning (3:30am EDT) and went exploring. It looked really nice.
I had trouble launching into a match, I was told once that I lost connection to the host while I was still in MQ, froze once in the battle list screen -instant battel, no skirmish battels were available, froze another time on the "establishing uplink" page...but I got into one ambush match before getting frustrated and going to bed.
So, I went exploring in that match. It was the Plateaus (sp) map. I spawned on the left "defender's side" over looking where the "A" terminal would have been had it been a skirmish match. I was spawned on the "enemy" side. I then ran towards the tower on the upper left of the map, the one next to the supply station on the skirmish match. I saw a path leading up the hill and behind the tower. I thought, "great, I'd get a jump on some of those red dots". I followed the path up the hill and accross. It lead me behind the tower. I didn't realize it at first but I came down into this "pen" around the base of the tower. In this build, there is a railing around the base of the tower. I thought nothing of it at first. Walked around the tower, saw a sniper and promptly shot and killed him. It felt good. He did not see it coming. I then tried to get out of the pen by jumping. I Couldn't. For the life of me, I could not jump the railing surrounding the pen. I could not get onto the pipes leading from the tower or onto the hill. I tried running and jumping, but apparently, you cannot sprint and jump at the same time. SO, I was stuck there for the whole game. I did not want to kill myself because I had an advanced assault drop suit, advanced armor and shields and prototype weapons. Before getting into the match, I check the market and my fittings and noticed that restocking my fitting now costs 138,000+ isk per fitting. (It had only costs about 40,000 before the update). So...
Please fix the bug with the tower pen, if it is one. Let us walk behind and around towers or completely close off access.
I am assuming that my other issues, freezing an all, will be fixed as the server move is completed. Oh! I freezed at the closing screen of the game too! On the screen that said "Defeated". So, I had no idea how much isk or sp I received. It probably wasn't much but I wanted to know if there was an increased isk award to compensate for the increased isk prices.
Please reduce the isk prices. |

This isn't much consolation, but you can run and THEN jump. It just takes a bit of timing to hit the run a tiny bit, then immediately use the jump button. It's how I get across certain gaps while walking around the hills. The timing between releasing the run and pressing jump is a small one, but if you do it you can get a bit further on the leap.
I'm just putting this here in case it might help you escape another such trap later on. |

I did try all sorts of timing combinations of running then jumping. Nothing seemed to work. Now, I'm not the best gamer and my internet isn't the fastest, but it should not be so hard to get out of that area. Developers, please take note. |
