The Surgeon Posted August 10, 2009 Report Posted August 10, 2009 Too many variables on the approach, bumps, variable friction, body position, drifting off to the side. With the best will in the world you'd only expect to make this 1 in 20. You can apply reasonably accurate physics on a bike jump because you can fairly accurately govern speed and trajectory but not in this scenario surely. Just my tuppence ha'penny Quote

mkratty Posted August 10, 2009 Report Posted August 10, 2009 isnt that a test dummy in front of the ramp? could they have sent that down a few times with the correct weight ect .then give it a go ??? Quote
PieGuy Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 Thats a body travelling directly vertically, its relying on the large surface area of his entire flat body to displace the water more slowly.. The vertical component of the guy in the original vid is fairly small by the looks of it, its the horizontal component that doesn't add up. Travelling at the speed he'd have to be moving at to make that gap, and landing on just his feet wouldn't give him nearly enough surface area to decellerate slowly enough not to break through the pool. Even if it did he'd die from the G forces, it'd be like stopping a bus at say 50mph by driving it into a brick wall. Still - 10/10 for editing! your argument is flawed imo he does appear to go down feet first all the way to me and explain this 35 ft into 12 inches http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MNJOmdE_4U u dont need much water to stop Quote
TheRealNeO Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 little fake looking but i love it :> Quote
Tootall Posted August 23, 2009 Report Posted August 23, 2009 Great editing, but much to fast. His mates must have run very fast over this hill to help him get out of the water at the end:) Probably the same mates who helped launch him. TT Quote
Guest vwxy341 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Posted August 24, 2009 I hit level 44 on my NE priest the other day and instances/parties are finally getting fun. I'm currently spec'd shadow, but I plan to respec holy once I hit 50 (dps, I shall miss you *sniff*). As much as I love melting faces and soul-sucking while soloing, I enjoy my healing role in parties even more. (Besides, I rolled a sweet little undead on another server that I plan on leisurely taking to 80 as shadow.) Parties were rocky at first until I managed to get the rhythms of mana conservation and healing prioritization down. Once I did (and once I swore off pickup groups), I found a sweet little group of tight players to run with. We're currently managing some solid pwnage in a couple of instances, and we hardly ever wipe. However - I have a few questions for some of you veteran healers out there: 1. - This is embarrassing, but would someone be willing to school me on the basics of macros? I've just been using the little bars at the bottom of the screen, and to be perfectly honest, the worst wipes we've had have been due to my inability to frantically scroll to the right button. I've read several FAQs and nothing really makes sense to me. I am barely computer literate, but I would *really* like to know how to set up a basic, solid spread of healing macros. 2. - This is less embarrassing! Those of you who have respec'd from shadow to holy - what's your experience been? Was it a difficult shift? How late into your character's leveling did you make your shift? When exactly *should* I respec? Is fifty too early or too late to respec? Are there any particular details I should know - any tricks or important bits of info - that will help me as a "pure" healer? 3. - GEAR. Once I make the clear choice about *when* to make the shift to holy (as in, level 50 or 60?), I would really like to have some good gear waiting on my shift. Can you explain to me what the best stats are for a purely healing priest? As it is now, I have an assortment of armor that blends INT (mostly for soloing purposes), SPT (for, well, everything), and Spell Power (for healing runs). I've been kind of neglectful of Stamina, though - is that something I should be considering more carefully? On a related note - staves or daggers with off-hands? Which stats work best on weapons in general? 4. Glyphs. Which are essential, and which are crap? Can you switch the glyphs out at will from party to party, or are you stuck with the ones you chose first? I am sort of confused by the entire glyph thing, to be honest. 5. I want to be an asset to my party, but I do get frustrated when I feel as though they aren't listening to my OOM calls and continue to pull before I'm close to full mana. This is hardly ever a problem in my regular group, but in situations where you have a new party, how tdo you make your needs as a healer clear to the group without coming across as Bossy Priest From The Far Side? 6. Money. I'm a miner/skinner, but neither of those professions seem to be making me much of anything. Should I redo my professions to herbalism/alchemy or something else? I do fish, which seems to be a bigger moneymaker at this level than the other two put together, but is this a level thing or a profession thing? I really don't have nearly the kind of money I'd like to be pulling in a this stage of the game, and it's bugging me. And OMG, is a flying mount ESSENTIAL later in this game? Because if so...Jesus. Hey, thanks so much in advance for any help/advice/tips you can give me. I'm in a guild full of really nice people, but it is not priest-heavy, and I haven't met anyone in-game I feel comfortable enough to chat with about all these issues.
