Time Until Update: ONLINE
The update will go live on July 16 at 3:00 PM (PST). (final time).





I'm working on a large update for Rising Lava for the 1 year anniversary coming up on the 16th.

Many people have come up to me saying the game is more fun and challenging without climbing, while others are against a removal.

I decided to ask what the majority of the people want. The poll will end in 24 hours. The poll has ended.


Poll Conclusion

It's been 24 hours, and the poll shows a higher interest in the removal of climbing.

I'll also take new gameplay suggestions from anyone in this thread.

I think climbing is very good, in fact it is probably the key of the game, although you could remove the more difficult maps. You should also make a less-aggressive broom.

You can right click to "climb" up sides of bricks.

I haven't played this gamemode for months, what do you mean by climbing?

Basically, all you have to do to reach the top is

1: look at random wall/terrain/whatever, it doesnt even matter what it is
2: spam right click
3: repeat
4: reach top

The whole challenge of finding jump glitches and parkour to the top is gone.

oh THAT, that's pretty useful, i thought you ment climbing by jumping on buildings and stuff
that can be quite useful.

It might be useul, but it takes half the challenge of the game

This isn't true.

Climbing allows you to right click bricks to "climb" the walls upwards. This allows you to use your surroundings as an advantage over your opponent and find other ways than just using the map builder's way up. This creates creativity in the way you go up. Players learn other player's climb patterns and retaliate with tactics to render these patterns unusable, forcing you to think of other ways to get up. This creates a flow of play that changes regularily as people adapt to other people's movements.

If climbing wasn't there, you would have to:
a. go up the only way via the "builder's path" which will most likely be camped by other players
b. try and corner-glitch up bricks (there aren't that many places for this to be used)

This isn't true.

Yes it is. You might have to go around an enemy and you can only climb so high before you need to camp and start climbing again. But it really dumbs down to right click spamming while looking at whatever is in front of you.

Did you not read my post at all?

I like climbing. It makes battles much more intense and they don't always just flick you to death instantly. Although I think stamina should be decreased.

I agree with this post. Just decrease the stamina but please keep climbing, it's more fun with it.
