Hi Yohandy, I personally don't like a game to be "hard". I consider that completely different from challenging. Hard sounds quite spiteful, like the developer is saying, "let's make this game impossible to beat!" Sorry if I'm being knitpicky here...grin Best Regards, Hayden

It will give new players something to help them learn the best position to jump. True there are going to be those who come to use that as a crutch I'll admit but that's true of anything in life. And anyway it wouldn't even be an option for the higher difficulty settings. He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the holy grail in the castle of aaaaggh. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yohandy" <yohand...@gmail.com> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Monday, May 10, 2010 7:27 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Mysteries of the Ancients Beta 12 Released > Thomas, > I'd vote against such a feature.
