Climb Fence Bypass via Command Spam
suggestion - add fail timeout

There is also a chance you succeed and begin walking to the direction past the fence.

You can basically ignore the fail chance by spamming the climb command until you succeed.

Obviously there is the rule 4.A no command stacking.

However, the speed of spamming a command is subjective to players.

To remove any such ambiguity and create fairness…

I would suggest:

Add a timeout/delay when a player fails so they can not climb again until the timeout finishes.

Advanced suggstion:

Based on stats, the timeout might last a duration based on ability to regain composure, maybe they fell from the fence.

Maybe add more flavor the fail message if this is added.

I don't understand the impulse that players so often have to want to time-gate actions that have no reason to be, especially when there are already guardrails and penalties.

Command cooldowns are dated design and make the game feel horrible to play and should be a development option of last resort where there is absolutely no alternative in my opinion.

If a character tries to climb something once and is told 'you can't seem to make it', they might make assumptions about the context of that one event happening in a certain way and every other climb being comparable… but what about a character crossing the whole city and climbing five or six or twenty times, or another character doing the same but every day? Suddenly something that might've seemed simple cause and effect in one instance becomes a huge headache.

Movement delays and movement time outs are like the number one thing players point to as making the game feel unresponsive or dysfunctional, unless there is some major and widespread gameplay dysfunction that arose from climbing I can't see even more controls on it making gameplay any better.

In other instances, climbing multiple times in somewhat brief succession is not only permitted but functionally necessary. I think longer cooldowns and more fail states on climbing would make certain activities and certain areas go from mildly arduous to outright dangerous without there really being any real reason for them to be.

Codedly fencing players in (pun unintended) through very narrow interpretations of how skills will be used should be an absolute last resort in my view, Sindome is an extremely complex and dynamic game and what a player can be doing moment to moment can be varied and require some slack from the code at times to not be too limiting of what should be plausible outcomes.

Code should, whenever possible, be enabling players to be doing interesting things rather than holding them back and burdening them with downsides for no real fun benefit. Downsides added for the sake of having downsides kind of plagued updates for a while and I would hate to return to that myself.

I am not against a very short timeout being added (no more than a second in my opinion). At the same time I feel that this really does need to be carefully considered.

I also think 0x1mm brings up important factors. It's not only that movement can be a bane to many of us for whom a tiny slip up can result in a loss, even death, to our PC. It's also something I recall being brought up frequently by new players. I understand why we 'pace' movement but it can be a pain in the ass. For everyone. Even doing mundane shings.
