Resolved - Unfair In Rainbows Rocket Jump

[The_Fire_Ghoul]

In the second part of the Verdant section of In Rainbows, some of the rocket jumps are very close to impossible for those with lower ping. If you have bad/higher ping, these jumps are super easy, but with if your ping is really good, these jumps are complete and utter nightmare, sometimes spending minutes at a time trying to get through some of these. This comes to show the most in this one particular jump there you have just 4 blocks of height to make it into a hole, which is so insane, I think it might actually be impossible if your ping is low enough. Every time I've gone through this section before, I've had to go into my browser and open up 5 or 6 tabs of video to manually get my ping down just to do these insane jumps in a reasonable amount amount of time. I've heard people say that this isn't too much trouble and that you just need the right timing, but as you can see in this video here, I nail the timing about as close to the edge as I possibly can and still don't make it in.

There were many attempts where my timing was off (barely), but there were many where it was spot on but I still don't make it. If this is indeed possible with the ping I have, the timing must be frame-perfect--a timing that's simply too crazy and luck-based to expect people to get.

This is the only jump that seems to be as just-about-impossible as it is (being the only one with 4 blocks for height), so my request is for this hole to be moved up one or two blocks, or for the rocket plate to be moved down one or two blocks.

There's actually ANOTHER four block height jump...

Oh right... then yeah that one ought to be nerfed as well.

iirc there’s better tactics for making these tight jumps than walking off the pressure plates and jumping. When I tried the map first I struggled because I was doing that. Try sprinting off the plate and jumping last minute or jumping on and off the plate whilst sprinting (a bit like a forced momentum but moving onto the plate in mid air).

what I do is I sidestep. I will jump over the plate and land onto the middle of the plate, then I will sidestep off of it towards the hole. Takes a few tries but eventually works. I don't think you want to start off being already on the plate though, I tried that and it was waaay harder.

After having tried this jump on a localhost (that is 0 ping), I can indeed confirm that this is impossible with a very low ping, and that it is definitely not a matter of technique.

@Metsune any way we can change this so it is more friendly on low ping users?

I'll see what I can do
