Summary0006086: Hard to descend ladders in certain cases
DescriptionRight now, when you try to go down a ladder in certain cases (such as in the screenshot), it can take several tries to actually manage to find that sweet spot. I suggest that crouching relatively close to the ladder would move you to where you need to be to descend it.

I second this, it does feel a little awkward when trying to go down ladders in tight spaces.

* The mechanics of ducking have been changed a bit in order to make going down ladders easier.
** Prior to the addition of ducking, you could hold the down key while you ran, and then easily get down any ladder. Since the addition of ducking, which stops you from moving unless you have the powerslide enchant on, this has made getting down small ladders an exercise in frustration.
** To solve this, ducking now only kicks in while you are holding the down key and NOT holding the left or right keys.
*** So you can once again hold down while running left and right, making it trivial to get down any ladder, and ducking won't even come into play.
*** But at the same time, when you want to duck or powerslide, just jam the down key and stop moving in whichever direction.
