I would tend to prefer an earlier time, but to be honest, I don't have any special need to be involved. I'm just willing to help if the people who really wanted to finish Oryx want to do it tonight.

I might just have to call it a wash and restart it this next weekend because I'm going to be doing NOTHING but play games cause I'm going to be alone in my parents house watching a dog...

So I will be free Friday night till Sunday afternoon

I have Skolas at 1030 EST but can run it after. If you guys get a group earlier, good luck! I can lead a second group with Funk around 11 since I'll still have a checkpoint.

Are we going to be attempting to get this done before the reset tonight?

I can do it. but it would have to be earlier. I have a hard stop time by 8:45 West coast time as I have to drive my brother (Earendil) to the airport. So you can blame him.

I know that is early for a lot of you guys, but maybe we can get enough?

Make the event. I can be there after 11. (reply)

Eh, my last post on this. (reply)

Seriously, at 19ish seconds in the video you can see his feet lift, his character accelerate upward and hear the double jump sound. Maybe he only pressed it once after his character bounced, but that is clearly Glide triggering.

The only reason I saw his post was because someone sent me a message with the link and a comment on how it was an obvious double jump. That person also mains a Warlock and has experience running the relic in this raid. Which doesn't even matter, because it takes maybe an hour of playing with a fully leveled Warlock to understand how the jumps work.

But whatever, this doesn't matter. I'm only responding this last time because of the tone.

I'm sorry, but I'm not (reply)

For one, I'm trusting Blackstar's claim that he never touched the jump button.

On top of that, I main a Warlock and can confidently say that's how they react to bounces. Hell, that's how everyone reacts to the Tower's giant fan. I believe the animation is tied to the upwards motion. The jump animation is actually slightly different, unless you cancel the jump while still going up.

I assume you are joking. (reply)

As there is a clear indicator right after he ascends.

Also the animation makes it obvious.

No audio cue (reply)

To be honest, it looks a LOT like the tiny bevel between the golden walkway and the stone floor threw you into a weird "lateral" bounce (like when you bump into the edge of a platform) that happened to also send you upwards.

I agree, no reason to double jump. (reply)

ProbablyLast — Fri, 18 Mar 2016 08:00:54 +0000

But you did, according to the audio and visual indicators that you double jumped.

Nope. Watch again, you'll see. (reply)

Jump to the sisters platform.
Hit my jets to arrest my fall.
Land on sisters platform.
Run straight forward, fall off edge to ground.
Impact ground, instantly bounce up upon touching.
No reason to jump; no button was pressed.
Underpants.
?
Profit!

No, by pressing the jump button twice. (reply)

I figured out your problem. (reply)

BlackstarBSP — Fri, 18 Mar 2016 01:47:06 +0000

Lol, from just walking forward?

I forgot about that stuff! Used to superbounce all the time! (reply)

You double jumped again.

Ask and you shall receive. (reply)

Yeah, as you can see, I cleared getting to the sisters platform and landed BEFORE the ship. Then as I hit the ground, I shot up in front of it and got splattered.

If you listen, there are no noises of jump-jets like you hear as I go around the platforms, so no idea of the cause, never happened to me before. :P

But hey, it's funny to watch!

Landed.... then shot up like a bullet.

Looks like some Zanzibar geometry made it into The Kings Fall.

Ask and you shall receive. (reply)
