I made this request earlier on the now closed and hidden mod board for the Beta but since it can't be seen now I thought I should repeat it.
While the HB is nice, I see many points that it can be improved upon.
Ability to use the HB to fall farther with less damage. Maybe a set % reduction to your Z axis speed if the board is out. A cap on the speed reduction would also be needed to keep it within reason..
Ability to grapple enemies also using a HB and knock them off.
A melee attack that can be done on the HB to take out an opponent that lets you get to close. High damage but hard to get close enough.
Shorter recovery time after falling off board.
Ability to use Grapple on walls to swing across gaps or climb walls(very vulnerable when doing so).
Longer grapple line.
Better control while being towed.
With the addition of the grappling enemies to knock them down and a melee attack while on the board a DM based game type using only the board and grapple to attack could be made.
I know that the HB can be used to lower the odds of getting damaged from a fall from the AVRiL spawn to the armor/boots spawn but it isn't consistent. Some times it prevents damage and some times it doesn't.
