[Landing Deductions]

A couple of weeks ago, I saw a player jump out of a wooden house thru a window on Kharkov at the top hill flag of D5/E5. At the time I didn't think it was legal, and was suspicious. However, loading the single player map, I found it to be easy for me to do, too. Today, in game, I found a similar wooden building on Telemark C5/D5 and was able to jump out of that window, too. These are windows without ground obstructions (no beds, boxes) with a horizontal wooden bar in the middle, so visually it looks like the character would be blocked from going through, but I guess the game doesn't see the bar as real. My question is, is this legal/something that's okay to do, or does this fall under a rule (maybe grey area) I'm not aware of or don't fully understand? Better to ask than continue I feel in this case, especially with this sentence under Moongamers Community Policy and Regulations  "If it's not covered by an exception, it's probably NOT allowed."

 

 

Thank you!

Just think of it as being like Hollywood where people crash through windows with panes and cheap railings all the time.

Lol! That's certainly one unique way to view this situation, Tav. If I was a bigger Jackie Chan fan, maybe I could take the stuntman route a little less encumbered. However, I can see how this could be classified as a game exploit depending on just where the line can be drawn, and that's something to be avoided. Further more, this could be looked at through the lens of "The Spirit of the Game". Is doing the above knowing that the visual intent of the window is to not allow that, right? This makes it more of a character's character decision, which in it's own way, might say volumes about a player. Except for this single instance, this isn't something I see folks do - whether by choice, or lack of knowledge, I don't know. But it's definitely discussion worthy!

There is no issue with jumping through windows like that. Where we draw the line is glitches that make players impossible to kill, such as glitching inside of objects like boxes or underneath certain map objects.

Great to hear it's not a problem and thanks for the explanation Capn Cackler. I could not find the answer by searching the forum, and thought the issue would be worthy of being opened up in public.
