    I can finally make this thread. Long Jump was mistakenly removed from the snowman pq (not a typo). It actually made the fight better for all involved.

    Long Jump fixes some players annoyances in the fight such as janky platforms getting to the top (that are unchanged since last year), enables skilled gameplay to dodge attacks in b2/3 as well as some strange snowball patterns up top. Additonally, a faster time to get back up to the top to heal critical health allies means a lower need to "afk top heal" for newer squads that already take way too much damage for their own good.

    We've had the snowman up for a few days and even with the experienced degen squads getting right back to business, we have not seen dramatically shorter clear times. On the average, clears are actually longer now for most due to highly valuing dumping a character up top to heal.

    The only thing unfair about Long Jump in Snowman PQ is that it was not given to all players, and simply removing it will be a mistake. If it's deemed too easy with it enabled, addressing it some other way will feel better for all involved.

    Long jump is super fun to play with, and I'd like its (official) reintroduction on that basis alone.

    Post long jump removal diary

    Day 1

    Last ate: a few hours ago
    Emotional state: shambles
    Goals for the day: cope

    They removed long jump from SPQ. I can no longer roleplay as a night lord. The fight is still reasonably fun, but without the joy of on-demand fast horizontal movement, everything feels and looks like various hues of grey. Or maybe my monitor is dying.

    Day 2

    Weather: sunny
    Dog: happy, but vomited on my carpet again
    Dinner plans: simple chicken teriyaki and miso soup

    I've discovered that if I just make "whoosh"ing noises every time I jump, it feels just a little bit faster. Unfortunately, it's also a little tiring. Not a good long-term replacement for the long-junp-sized hole in my heart. I've also discovered a great fear of the leftmost heal platform. The trek there now risks the possibility of getting ground slammed and death spiraling from there, so I do what any healthy adult does and just ignore my problems. In between runs, I open my skill book to gaze longingly at my beginner skills tab. It's still there, waiting for me. I can see it, even if it's level 0 now.

    Somebody, please... Save Maple legends...
