Some robots like Invader have always had trouble on ramps but now older robots are doing the skip step as well.

In my Smurf account my Gareth now has a terrible time with the ramps on the Castle bridge. Not fun when you're trying to get to cover.

In my regular account today I saw a teammate Kumiho trying to get to a side beacon on Dreadnought. He looked like he was skipping.

Why are bots suddenly forgetting how to walk?

Ridiculous isn't it? We have bots that can teleport, fly, go into stealth mode, leech health from other bots, put up magical forcefields etc etc but we can't walk down a slight incline without looking like the little red riding hood off to visit grandmas house.

My guess is crap programming or bandwidth limitations that lead to crap programming? I mean how hard should it be to program realistic gravity and movement parameters to decend for 「fluffernutter」s sake?

Only other programming concern is to keep bots from being able to super dash at will?

So my 2 guesses are bandwidth limits as proper gravity and motion mechanics are so much more complicated or to prevent crazy speed abuses by super dashing or traveling crazy distances when in free fall

My mender is no speed demon and canât decend ramps smoothly? I would love to really know why Pix canât get this right. I have little hope theyâd actually reveal why this annoyance can not or will not be fixed
