good job!! on the update!! But!!

[OldNox]

grapple hook is still messed up side ways!! there still no lift force short of the initial boost!!
lines break on contact with air let alone anything else !! it acts more like a portable rope !!

I call it a super jump gun right now. Basically it just yanks you forward, with a tiny bit of momentum.

Have no clue if that was it's intended design, or it's just bugged out. Other then carrying one the first time I climbed a big tree, I haven't used that since. Made it, put it in a chest.

I can get behind that complaint. I hope it's just not fully fleshed out yet and not a design choice. If you can swing from a rope/grapple, then you should be able to climb up it too, at least if you have the stamina to do so.

If used properly its an amazing tool i can get well over halfway across the map by using about 4 or so hooks. also if you need more lift force jump and then use it. it will use the speed of your jump to go higher

We actually did a closed playtest a while back which was designed to get feedback on the grapple (we built an assualt course for players to test!) and that feedback helped inform the final design.

We're always looking at feedback though and take the comments on-board!

I appreciate that. It's great that would get player feedback. It's just very odd to have a grapple that doesn't also pull you up in a game. Every streamer I've seen play it was also disapointed it only swings. It's like more of just a hook swing, not sure if there's a tool name for that. Maybe could at least consider an upgrade that you could earn to climb up with or a separate item and give them different names.

Noted! Thanks for the feedback 🙂

I don't know how I typed would instead of you, but that's what I meant, It's been a trying week. I guess I'm as bit brain dead.

Oh, well, then I'm not using it properly. The line seems to detach from the gun almost instantly. I tried a bunch of things, like holding the button continuously, jumping, trying to swing (like spiderman), and it didn't work. It was essentially just boosting my jump in a certain direction... which seems closer to the experience many others have had.

i don't know who tested and approved it but clearly they didn't have any experience with grapple guns lmao smallands is 4th game ive played that makes use of grapple guns and its not so great ,, i understand there limitations cause the game engine and don't expect rope to wrap around branches ect or have any interactions with the environment like a real rope ect but seriously COME ON i literately sneezed while i was grappling the thing snapped i hit every branch on the way down to my death can ya at least give it little tiny bit more horse power when it comes to the initial boost!!??? i know it won't be worlds adrift swinging and grappling but little bit more oomph will help over all at the very least!

Sorry to hear that you fell. I didn't even mess with the grappling gun until I the regal armor with wings. I just played it safe, and was prepared to get dropped. And I got dropped.

yeah i use it a lot ! always liked the grapple gun i literally lived in worlds adrift when it was active, i did hear there working on a clone of the game called voids-adrift but it's gonna be a while.. : / i like smallands but im really hoping they fix the grapple !! or at least if there not able to directly over haul it at least give it more of a initial boost when ya use it.. keep getting this thing popping up for a review but i wanna wait bit see what happens over all after finishing all the quests and i got a good solid amount of hours in game.
