Will PS allow neck grabs on stairs?  I personally don't see why not.  The only thing holding it back could be messed up animations.

I wouldn't mind a creative KO animation rather than neck grab on stairs.

I agree because this happened to me today on hospital.  I was about to grab agent and instead of trying to charge me he charges onto the stairs.  Then I run away because everyone knows that in real life people are less vulnerable while climbing STAIRS.    :D

I don't know.

The stair neck grab works perfectly in DA, so I don't see why this wouldn't be in because of 'messed up animations'.

How about this?  No stairs.  All ladders.  All awesome.  All sarcasm.

How about when a spy elbows a merc on stairs, the merc instantaneously goes into rag doll mode and tumbles down the stairs and loses half his health and then detects the sarcasm in this option?  Actually, I'll put this post in half sarcasm mode because that sounds insanely fun but would probably not work well. 

(And finally) How about spies can grab mercs on stairs? 

Those are the only logical options from my point of view.  Like Tigaer said it worked fine in DA and it also looked fine.

is it possible to have on the hud display when a player disconnects or flat out leaves the game ?

[frvge]

I think so. I'd have to ask the replication programmer (Red), but he's taking a short break for happy personal stuff :)

So... while we are alredy asking about such things... Can you at some point (not necessarily PS 1.0, it could be later) add a "reconnect" option (which means instantly respawning after reconnected) and possibly also a "pause" option? Ever since playing DotA2, i started to value this.

[frvge]

I think we could have a "Join during session". But that's not our first priority.

It is already implemented. What has not been done yet is how the players can control the situation, such as pop ups, force disconnect  options, etc.

Those are minor details. But currently you can quit and rejoin a game and pick up where you left off if within the default timeframe (a few minutes). The exception is that you respawn at the start location instead of  the exact spot where you disconnected.

Will you add ghosts like in DA for the newbies?

[frvge]

No.

thanks for the notable reply red :D

[Pusianka]

Red seems like a hard working person(good to hear that...) can you tell us anything else about the features that you've implemented so far?

@frvge How many maps have PS by now?
