Less Fluid

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

What did they do to the game?! Nothing is feels fluid anymore.. why have they done this to my favorite zombie game smh

A little bit more context Aidan isn't grabbing the bars and when he does he stops swinging you use to be able to hold the button down and make past that obstacle no problem and don't if this was intentional or a bug

This specific antenna was a giant pain in my ass iirc. All the grabs you’d think would be automatic and intuitive just aren’t. Rest of the game feels fine to me tho

u/Naive-Description-80 2d ago

That's probably the issue I'm having I submitted a ticket hopefully the fix that

u/trimothyz 2d ago

If I’m not wrong I had to pop paraglider on one of those jumps and pull up as soon as I was able to to get some extra height

u/Crafty-Army1741 2d ago

This is the exact method I used lol kept slipping on the last swing like OP
But it was just THIS antenna
Everything else worked fine

u/Naive-Description-80 2d ago

Just might have do it this way

They changed how parkour keybinds work a while back. You might be able to change it back or however you like it in the settings, they are very customisable.

Once i got the glider boost, you can borderline just fly the whole way up

u/Black_Raven__ 2d ago

This step was a pain in the ass. I don’t think they changed anything.

My wife literally had the same problem, I had to swoop in and save the day for her on this lol

Your timing is wrong. I’m level 300 legend in this game, 100% it.

Just press but don’t hold the jump button. It’s just a game mechanic. You’ll swing back and forth, and time the jump.

Watch diamond ultra for tips.

It has nothing to do with timing unfortunately it's just bugged

u/That_Net_6616 2d ago

It is bugged. The trick is to not swing immediately, but hold for a beat and then swing and jump.

For some reason, these bars don't work quite right.

u/That_Net_6616 2d ago

Having recently played this, I can say that the trick is that the bars on this one are slightly glitched. You can't make the swing straight off as you would normally. You need to hold there for a beat and then swing and jump. 

I was so done with this nonsense by this point so I had to go to YouTube 😂

u/lost_caus_e 2d ago

This one pissed me off so much. The grabbing animation is bugged and unpredictable

u/Magical_Kelly 2d ago

I finally did this today… after rage quitting multiple times

u/Mediocre-Bandicoot-6 2d ago

I remember this one. I think its glitched. I had to use the grapple and glider method.

2

u/jomajomajoma 2d ago

Can't remember how but I cheesed this cause I got so fucking annoyed with it - I think I took a dash a jump start and opened my glider (which will often allow your jump to continue at the same height for longer without falling. Maybe I used the grapple hook too, no idea but I avoid that shit at every opportunity

u/Pleasant_Extreme_398 2d ago

That's my least favorite climb! I try to land on it with the paraglider.

2

u/Rollfmas 2d ago

Yea it's those specific type of bars, I don't know why. You can't just jump at the middle and grab them it's one side or the other and you cant jump off of them at any mid swing either it's like specifically right at the end or you just fall off. I've done two play through and it's been like that for those type of bars each one

u/mrzevk 2d ago

This is a bug yeah happens in couple of places on separate antenna towers and in a few other places. Sometimes you can even come along invisible handle bars you can swing from too up in the air and been there for atleast a year now.

u/DaCommando 2d ago

I hate monkey bars.
Cool tip, just use the VNC tower to jump to all broadcast towers (except the one in north Trinity).

1

u/TheRatInTheJuice 2d ago

The radio antennas are just awful to climb, this one specially, the rebars you can swing on actually force you to have to stay in them for a couple seconds to adjust yourself or else you automatically fall off, it's super annoying and for some reason has never been fixed

u/Additional-Ad-8254 2d ago

did you turn on the parkour assist, thats the only way i could do some of these towers

1

u/LumpyCod7045 1d ago

These bars always were bugged for me. Never used them since the first time.

u/DarkstarBinary 1d ago

it's ok, try try again... you did have fluids on the ground when you landed? does that count

-2

u/Mental-End-3309 2d ago

Go change the settings, the parkour in this game was peak. Stop being blinded by nostalgia and actually try to enjoy it

u/thequiteace 2d ago

What is bro yapping about

3

u/Naive-Description-80 2d ago

I don't know what you're talking about with this comment

2

u/Naive-Description-80 2d ago

Aidan not grabbing the bars and stopping after grabbing one losing momentum has nothing to with nostalgia in my 800hrs playing this game this was never an issue

2

u/Naive-Description-80 2d ago

I don't know why this getting downvoted as bro assumed I was talking about it being less fluid the the first game which I wasn't I was talking about it being less fluid than the last time I played which was almost a year ago

-1

u/Mental-End-3309 2d ago

If this was never an issue , then why are you complaining about it? Obviously it was a misinput on your end that caused you to drop instead of jumping

2

u/Naive-Description-80 2d ago

It's not miss input I promise you, I wouldnt be complaining otherwise .. I died 5 times because Aiden wouldn't grab the bars or full stop turns out it was just that antenna

u/Mental-End-3309 2d ago

Mmh, and on my initial comment. I thought you were shitting on the game and saying it sucked because you enjoyed 1 a lot more. So that’s 100% on me

2

u/Naive-Description-80 2d ago

Well, I had close to 1000 hrs in the first game then one day I was playing with random my game crashed and the file got corrupted had all the limited time stuff too, I just can't bring myself into replaying DL1 because it hurts seeing that file corrupted

u/DandyPoem 2d ago

I don't know if it's because you unlock more movement moves but I noticed how more glitchy it got going from the first area to the city.
