[Commando] Dodge-roll negating fall damage

The roll reminded me of how when trying to get out of a moving car, tucking and rolling is used to soften the damage, so to speak.

I was thinking if you rolled before you hit the ground, it could negate or at least soften the blow taken from fall damage.

 

I tried that a few times before I realized it didnt work. I would love for dodge/jump moves to negate fall damage.

Wouldn't adversely affect gameplay that much either, since you blew a valuable cooldown to save your skin.

 

If it were to be for the commando all classes would have to have a move to do the same thing. The commando is already OP

 

Well, the miner's 4th(And possibly 3rd) move would probably have the same effect, if it doesnt already(Haven't tested it)

 

Very true, but the Bandit (as we know of him now) doesn't have any abilities related to possible fall damage negation, so it would become a balancing issue

 

Yeah, I suppose thats true as well... Even if you gave the stealth move a very small upward boost, it would still present a limitation on future class designs in that they would have to have a fall damage prevention move or be more effective in some other capacity.

 

We should at least test it somehow.
If it proves to be OP, don't do it.

 

Well... that worked.

EDIT: I love it when devs look at stuff their fans post

 

Pfft, 5,5h response time to a suggestion? Took your sweet time.

 

You guys rock.
