Glider is Pointless without fitting in inventory?

[Colonel Mustard]

I feel like the Glider has no real purpose at all besides the one time you find it on the mountain. I feel like if they made it fold-able or compact to fit in the actual inventory then I could see the Glider having any use besides when you first find it.

He runs, jumps off a cliff.....he nose-dives and plummets to his death

I've tried over a dozen times now..... WTF am i going wrong!?

To be honest, I'm getting fed up with the game - i've completed both endings and am trying to build a house and a zip-line network, but every time i venture away from my base I am constantly attacked. I suppose I could just do the peaceful mode

first off the controls arent regular movement controls. you dont HOLD buttons to fly. you only tap them to change direction and take off you tap the forward button for half a second at most. if you hold it down you nosedive and crash. same as first game.

the 1st and 2nd part are terrian issues and for some reason devs decided this thing should become MORE sensible to be dropped which is just.... plain stupid i have to say. they gotta fix that one for certain. the one in the first game wasnt dropped this easyly compared.

walking this thing up a hill is harder than actually takeing off and flying for a longass time..

but it works great.

sadly there is some bad news aswell : you cannot hold it while useing a zipline like you could before. this allowed ziplines to act as launchers for it to proppel it forward a bit to gain speed faster.

it works without that still but why they took that out is beyond me.

check first games glider and youll learn why.

I remember building a bunch of towers around the map in the first game to better utilize the hang glider. It was a lot of work to build them all but it allowed me to fly all over the map and was pretty fun, might start working on doing this in my save. With the way they are handling outfits having different stats or effects, I think they should've implemented a wingsuit as an outfit. Something you can store in inventory and feels a bit less clunky but I'm content with the hang glider for now.

you never needed any towers to fly around the map with that thing back in the first game. you just needed to use the terrian correctly to take off. then you could fly anywhere.

the only thing that never was a good idea was to fly trough the trees of course. but thats just logical.

towers where never needed if you know which way to fly tough.

Friends and I used gliders extensively in the first game. Built those towers all over the map and used gliders constantly. They serve even more purpose in sotf

Amen to that. too many babies being fed up over an early access title that runs better than many triple A games.

Figured out how to control the glider and flew from one side of the island to the other!
Would've been nice if the devs had included a note on which controls to use!!

I've played for 80 hours and completed the game twice. The constant attacks by respawning enemies that i've killed several times over is what i don't like. The rest of the game is great.

So No i won't "Get over myself"

if you really believe this is the games current biggest problem i dont know what to tell besides to raise your standards for whats acceptable for a game.

this game is still a foundation. and nothing more as of yet. this patch was merely a small first step in the right direction but this game has ALONG way left to go before it will actually be a good game as of now.

lmao. go peaceful mode then?? I dont get issues like these when there's already a solution in game. Plus the constant respawn has always been there even in the first game. Which is out yeaaaars

Glider glitch literally gave you infinite height gain, whenever you desired it. If you practised getting the right angle, you could jump of a small rock and still manage to get above the cloud layer. Have to agree with the other posts, if you nose-dive, that's on you.

Try angling a bit to the side or holding the left or right strafe button instead of just going directly forward it helps a little

[robochicken42]

For anyone that hasn't noticed yet the little green circle on the handle of the hang glider functions like a bubble level/inclinometer, which shows what orientation you have the glider positioned at while flying, When the green circle is in the green ring your flying straight and level.

find a decent ledge, sprint off and jump, holding jump, ten press "s" and youll start going up wards. If you mess around and get used to using "w" and "s" mixed withe turning "a" and "d" then you can fly forever, finally. Its really nice for getting around the map
