NEW PLAYER REMINDERS
They seem to be firing multiple times.
Also I received them, even though I'm not new. (I'm assuming that this is because they were just added, so we are all going to see them.)

No more jumping off/across things just because you stop attacking first while still being attack by someone else.Might I propose that utilizing the paraglider still permits this avenue of escape?
If anything a haphazard jump as an escape seems viable as long as you pass a check similar to a flee attempt.
Is there some reason that people are currently able to jump if they are in combat?
Just because one person stops attacking doesn't mean the other person isn't still attacking them.
A flee check seems like exactly what should happen. Unless a flee check cannot be added to 'jump' similar to how 'move' already works.
Non-game wise, if you can succeed a flee down a street from an assailant, you can probably bail off of a roof or rail. Not sure if code support is easy here though!
I think that if you have some equipment like this and you end up coding in the "flee" checks for trying to escape roof top engagements (jumping off roofs) that maybe the flee check should be easier to pass if you have this type of mobility gear on you and ready to use.
Gliders are cool, but take zero (player) skill to use. I don't want to push the envelope of what's considered 'required gear' to wear to be a combat character more than it already is in a lot of circumstances.
I get that there's probably some salt from the veterans here about this getting changed, since this was a long-standing thing, but this was one of those instances of uber cheese that isn't consistent with the rest of the games mechanics. Meta's shifted because of it, and I don't want to just see super expensive items adding this back and returning us to pre-nerf cheese levels.
That is not my understanding of gliders at all. If I'm wrong, feel free to ignore this, but I recall gliders do actually require a specific skill to utilize without potentially killing yourself.
I know this. Which is why I specified they don't take PLAYER skill to use.
I don't think pay X flash, get out of combat free is a good thing. That was my point.
At that point, I feel like it might graduate to something that should be capable of getting you out of harms way if it's intended for gliding off great heights by design already.
Just my 2 cents.
It seems doable, but not sure how high a priority this would really be.
This way you don't learn new commands or syntax. You're just using familiar techniques in new scenarios.
Despite the syntax being simple I know it took me a lot of trial and error to figure it out, so I think having the guidance will make that whole creation system much more popular.
