RubyRiver Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 In the patch notes posted for 6.1.1 you guys have, once again, referred to a nonexistent item/ability. The ability in question is, in fact, Rocket BOOST, not Rocket Boots. This is tongue-in-cheek and directed mostly at Eric who likes to call them that.

Ylliarus Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 And why exactly is this of any consequence? Does it break the game? Does it create a hole in the space-time continuum that will consume us all in an unimaginable and horrible way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediQuaker Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I always call it Rocket Boots as well. I know it's actually "boost", but I don't care. Call me crazy. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheCynic Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 And given that if you don't have one of the right sets of gear(0), the rocket flames come from your boots (or from your sandals, of which there are a few, or the bandages wrapped round your feet, XoXaan style)(1), and "boots" and "boost" are very close in spelling(2), I think we can all be forgiven for enjoying the reversal. (0) Or, in some cases, the *wrong* sets - the Exquisite Dancer top has backpack jets even though it doesn't have a backpack. (1) Would you rather that we called it "Rocket Sandals"? (2) In academic study of techniques involved in spell-checkers, it's called "lexical distance" and for "boots" vs "boost" it is very small.

Volcinar Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 i have only one character where the rocket boosts come out of a "jetpack" on my gear, the rest of my characters the boosts come out of the boots. court of popular opinion rules in favor of "Rocket Boots" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbomagnus Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Mako: I think it's time we strap on our Rocket Boots and junior-birdman our way out of here. BH: ...We don't have Rocket Boots, Mako. Mako: Well... what do we have?" BH: I have a Rocket Boost... you disappear when I use it, though. Mako: I don't think I like the sound of that...

RowanThursday Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Kira: So, how are we going to defeat the Emperor this time? Jedi Knight: I have a cunning plan... I'll walk up to him then do a high kick and melt his face with my rocket boots. Scourge: An excellent plan with just two minor drawbacks. One, you haven't any rocket boots, and two, you haven't any rocket boots. Jedi Knight: Suddenly, everyone's a critic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everrgreen Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Even though it's called boost, the animation in game DOES look like rocket boots. So boots it is. Unless you have BH/other armor that has a jet pack on that will change the animation and the flame is coming out somewhere near the rear end. In this case it would be rocket butts.

DarkTergon Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 OK, thanks for letting us know. Not really sure what you are expecting us to say? I'd say just poking a bit of fun at eric, and adding a bit of humour to the forums, so many serious threads, plus a few trolls. Humour is always good.
