      Now I’m wondering how long it would take

        It is designed like a hot air balloon, but it appears to have a sealed balloon. This is probably a helium balloon, which means you’re going to have to wait for the helium to leak out.

        Based on the art, I’d say it would last about as long as a normal latex filled helium balloon (it’s bigger, so there’s more in it, but also more surface area) so probably would take a day or two before it deflates enough to drop.

    I have been in a hot air balloon. You might Think there is some way to maneuver it.

    If so, you’re wrong.

      You can, you just kinda hope to not hit a thermal or strong winds. You have weighted balasts on all sides of the basket, by changing the weight distribution you can influence the direction of the floating. Influence, not fully control; iirc as long as wind is less than 5mph opposed to the direction you want to go, you’ll be able to pick up speed in that direction.

        A plane can be maneuvered. If the wind blows and you’re completely powerless because of it, you’re not maneuvering shit. A hot air balloon cannot be steered, is what I’m saying.

    The fact that I can’t immediately think of a reason this would be illegal scares me

      If you refused to land this would be extortion I believe, but I’m no lawyer

        So why aren’t loot boxes extortion then? I immediately thought of EA.

      A smart businessman would make sure to tell them they need to leave anything pointy on the ground.

      Climbing down the rope would do the job as well, considering it’s latched to the rim of the basket. Probably be fairly easy, too. Wrap shirt around hands, clamp feet to rope (one above the other so the rope rests between your shoes, which then functions as a brake to slow your slide), and slide down.
