Kemmer Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I accept that cover is here to stay. However, it would be nice (and more iconic) if we could also get the option to remain standing with our backs on a corner, darting out to fire, before moving back to safety, you know, like they do in the movies. Horizontal cover would be a great way to put all of those pillars/walls to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriah Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Agree, except this would break line-of-sight. It would be unfair if you could freely attack something, and they couldn't hit back. Edited January 24, 2012 by Gabriah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemmer Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Not much different from the difference between melee and ranged. Melee classes have to approach ranged to attack. Adding horizontal cover would introduce a third category, truly differentiating us from standard ranged, rather than the sitting ducks we currently are. Both melee and other ranged types would need to negotiate the terrain to either remove the LOS and engage us or LOS us themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannicus Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 It must have been a balancing issue early on. Watching the smuggler clips on the class page shows specifically the cover your mention, but they obviously removed it. I'd love to see it implemented as well, but... fleh...

hadoken Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 If it were done in such a way that you were always half out of cover (so could still be targetted and shot at like you can in standard cover) I imagine it would work. But honestly there's so many complaints with cover in how it's currently implemented I doubt we'll see them add MORE forms of cover in (likely they'll start taking away).
