Ok so when I hit the zipline onto another building as soon as it sets up it knocks me off. Now this isn't so much a bug as bad game design. It should knock me backwards towards teh center of the roof instead of off the edge to my ...

Re: Zip Line kicking me off buildings
Yes, you need to make sure you are not standing too close to the edge.Comment

Re: Zip Line kicking me off buildings
That is correct sir. If you try to use the zipline near the edge or on a small platform it will most definitely bring to you a swift and scary death. I would definitely call this a bug.Originally posted by HicRicDon't stand near the edge?
All I can do is pray that Dice finds some greta programmers so they can fix the current bug list...Comment

Re: Zip Line kicking me off buildings
I just jump out on the wire and hold E and hope that it hangs on. It is kinda frustrating however.Comment

Re: Zip Line kicking me off buildings
If you think about the size of the base of the zipline (tripod thingy) then you can understand why a small area would not be a good place to deploy it. I don't consider this as a bug. It's like trying to squeeze a tank into a building, if it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit.
The zipline needs a certain amount of room to set up the base, if it isn't there it pushes you out of the way, normally if you tried to occupy the same space as another vehicle, you would get crushed and die, at least the zip just pushes you out of the way.(sometimes to your death, sometimes not)Comment

Re: Zip Line kicking me off buildings
I consider this a bug also. If you're on a high rooftop and trying to zip to a lower one, you have to take the angle of the line to the roof you're on into consideration. When you shoot the line from too far back, your legs won't clear the roof you're on and therefore you can't zip down. Now when you shoot the zip from closer to the edge, you run the risk of getting bumped off the roof and falling to your death. Why not just make the zip line 'smart' enough to produce a red X in the crosshair if you're going to get bounced forward instead of making people fall to their doom?Comment

Re: Zip Line kicking me off buildings
I find that problem also occurs when trying to use it on a hill, the tripod need to be higher so you can clear most things when you climb on.Originally posted by afrosheenComment

Re: Zip Line kicking me off buildings
yeah like it will allow you to shoot, and connect a line, but when you try and use it, you get 3 feet infront of the line and then stand up.... they could atleast make it so that it wouldn't deploy if you can't get all the way down or somthing...Originally posted by SpuddyComment

Re: Zip Line kicking me off buildings
that's what i was going to say. Common sense says don't stand on the edge of a roof, you may fall off.Originally posted by HicRicDon't stand near the edge?
But some people don't understand gravity it seems.Comment

Re: Zip Line kicking me off buildings
dont stand close to edge and when u press E to get on it right when u get to the end of it go ahead and press G to pick it up instead of either losing it or wasteing time and getting killed trying to get it its a very good way to use the ziplineComment
