I believe I'm not the only ones constantly stuck at parkours like in eo or some other ones banning teleport. Maybe soul points sacrifice or smth but we do need a function like that

hardy steppe
#

uh oh

#

no comment but ❌

#

lets also add a skip to 105 command accessible if you have champion+ like
(srs response: adding a skip content button is worse than not doing anything about the parkour, it just encourages people to not try and soul points are on their way out anyway)

#

We do not need a function like that, and like only 2 parkours in the whole game are more than just 3 block jumps

#

Accessibility for EO and Realm of Light 4(?) parkour makes sense but not outright skipping it

worn comet
#

you can skip to the end of the dungeon (and the closest respawn point!) by doing /kill!

ikr

frosty violet
#

I just wanna know why we ”do need a function like that”

civic void
#

y'know i saw the OP's pfp and for a second i thought cmosier had genuinlly made an L post

#

Only room in any dungeon that deserves being removed is the one in IB and CIB where it's got the eyes and the invis ice

clever maple
#

how do u manage to still be stuck on eo parkour

Or some disabilities

#

Not an insult, some disabilities just make it hard

#

imagine if we got next gen VR like in sword art online and it did that

#

"sorry bruhh, your brain just doesnt know how to imagine it so.... go be a paraplegic paladin!

I obviously do not want to emulate a player's real life physical disability in the game for "immersion"

#

Nor did I say that being wheelchair bound was the only mobility issue a person could have

#

... And for the record I'm not a child. I have no doubt that you are older than me, but I'm an adult. I'm in college. I'm typing this on my phone in my dorm on campus. I'm not some child gnawing on the corner of mommy's ipad.

#

im gonna be real that was very obviously a joke...

#

😟

hardy steppe
#

yeah

worn comet
#

how about 10stx to skip a parkour like

#

ICANT people that cant complete parkours wont have that kind of money

#

Oh boy another EO parkour post

frosty violet
#

Eo being the one and only example cant be a coincidence!

cerulean nacelle
#

cuz that one is too tricky

#

wastes too much time

frosty violet
#

Whats tricky about it?

cerulean nacelle
#

idk wht kind of great skills u have but I'm rubbish at parkour and from my own perspective, the game should focus on fighting. I understand that multiple elements like minigames and parkour are involved to make the game more fun, but they shouldn't be the elements that get in the way of game process

frosty violet
#

Parkour are part of the game otherwise they wouldnt exist, and EO parkor is best example of something either instantly get hang of, or you physically can not do it, therefor it has nothing to do with tricky

#

They even updated the parkour so i dont understand what the issue is with it now

cerulean nacelle
#

pls understand I'm so rubbish at it. Last time I tried it took me 1.5h to finish it

#

so smth getting sacrificed for skipping is reasonable isn't it?

#

all other parkours are kinda okay tho

#

unless u count the one in the dungeon near Troms(the bounce pad one), that one is rather hard without skipping

cerulean nacelle

# cerulean nacelle so smth getting sacrificed for skipping is reasonable isn't it?

The thing is that this is a video game dungeon and in video games its perfectly fine to be stuck on a stage of the game and having a currency used for blatant skipping parts of the game is just wrong. What you should question though is that ”did this take me 1.5 hours because I skill issued or is it because I have a visual impairment?” and if its the second then its fine to suggest that something should be done to help

cerulean nacelle
#

but it's rpg bro

frosty violet
#

The genre doesnt define the whole game

cerulean nacelle
#

fighting is the main line isn't it?

#

Why does combat xp get shown on the exp bar not "parkour xp"?

frosty violet
cerulean nacelle
#

cuz it's not only rpg

frosty violet
cerulean nacelle
#

I understand other elements are added for fun but getting stuck on other elements…… that means they get overimportant

#

that's utter misunderstanding. I think other parkours are okay cuz they're identical to vanilla parkour

#

I think probably the biggest issue is the particle that has slight latency of some hundreds of miliseconds

#

it makes people misjudge their positions

#

i never complained about any other parkour even tho I got stuck for minutes because the skills can be developed fast and their difficulties are within my acceptence and concept for "an element applied to boost game entertainment"

frosty violet
#

Did you try the parkour using a different build (with more/less walkspeed/jump height)?

cerulean nacelle
#

I even tried doing it empty handed without any armours

#

and ones with jump height and movement speed boosts\

frosty violet
#

If you played the game the way its intended you should have a Double Vision at this point which should help A LOT

cerulean nacelle
#

I'll go check

#

oh that one

frosty violet
#

It gives walkspeed and 1-4 jump height, I use that if I want to do Point of No Return easier

#

Aka adapting to the obstacle

cerulean nacelle
#

in that case i think maybe we can add a message to players failing too many times to use that?

civic void
#

they made changes already, and they probably aren't gonna make anymore

cerulean nacelle
#

well aphantasia is not a rare disease

#

but ye why not just advise players who keep failing to use double vision or smth like it

civic void
#

cause wynn players are notouriously unhelpful

#

this is a true and factual statement

frosty violet
#

The player should be indirectly taught earlier that ”aha there are items that can make parkours easier”

cerulean nacelle
#

yeah

#

because u cant go back to Lutho, get it, and resume the parkour

frosty violet
#

You can but people are just stubborn and rather bruteforce the parkour

#

Don’t like a lot of players have trouble with EO parkour

#

Still don’t understand how some people here fail to understand that just because they’re able to breeze through it doesn’t mean others would have the same degree of perception/ object permeance needed for this

#

I would understand if it’s only like, 1 or 2 guys

#

But I have seen way too many
You just logically have to accept that some people simply can’t physically complete this

#

An absence of visual imagination can't really be supplicated by anything

cerulean nacelle
frosty violet
#

I never understood that though, you dont have to visualize something in the head to do the parkour

gray nacelle
#

my client is bugged so the platforms are invisible for me for some reason

worn comet
dense berry
#

is this thread still going

#

seems to be decided

rocky karma
#

I thought people were so imminent recently about having this added, yet somehow now they are not ICANT

cerulean nacelle
worn comet
#

it just weakens your overall argument

clever maple
# cerulean nacelle I believe I'm not the only ones constantly stuck at parkours like in eo or some ...

rereading this, it sounds like ur basically saying "i cant skip some parkours with movement spells so please add a skip button to fix that"

also to anyone who is going to make a disability argument, please get someone with that first hand experience before bringing it up because im so tired of ppl just saying "oh but someone might have x disability which makes parkour near impossible and if u try to argue with me im going to call u ableist"

#

I do agree some parkour needs to be made easier or more inclusive

#

i disagree that the game should focus on fighting

#

the game should focus on quests

frosty violet
#

If it wasnt for quests i probably wouldnt play

arctic citrus
#

quests are objectively the main content of the game

#

My first time the pillar refused to fall until i seitched servers and i was so confused

arctic citrus
#

Only parkour I remember in corkus quests was scaling the plant in feathers fly(?)

#

Oh and the snake section in the envoy

hardy steppe
#

dude i have never had a problem with parkour until i just did fucking The Breaking Point grappling hook on my laptop

#

ive only ever done it on a pc, where i had no isse, but idfk if its the track pad or what (the "what" = skill issue) but my hook literally NEVER registered an input it was mind boggling. eventually i got it but i was literally on the verge opf writing a bug report because it kept teleporting me back to a checkpoint even AFTER i was moving upwards toward a platform

#

Not all quests have combat

#

Nor should have combat

#

Dont force combat into being the "decisive factor" of whether you can complete a quest

#

Thumbs down

#

👎

cerulean nacelle
#

maybe combat isn't but neither should parkour be

arctic citrus
#

Parkour also isnt

#

You might need to have a miniscule amount of skill to do parkour

#

But that's also true for combat

#

Should we allow people to skip combats because they aren't skilled enough to do it?

#

Also there are parkours that are already skippable in quests

#

Take lexdale witch trials quest for example

#

If you fail too much/take too much time it'll tp you to the end of that section

cerulean nacelle
#

amongst all the elements combat is one of the most important otherwise combat xp won't be on the xp bar and u dont need to reach a certain level to unlock new quests etc.

#

that I agree cuz I actually failed too many times on that canary quest so I skipped

#

will you be able to skip it on a game that examines your reflex or prejudgement?

#

it's a fact that fighting takes up say 50% of the game contents, for example, dungeons, raids, quests, lootruns etc. so u cant skip it or else the game is shrunken by half

arctic citrus
#

I'm gonna be real idek the point you are arguing for anymore

#

There was already an accessibility thing added to eo

#

The actually hard parkours in quests are already skippable

#

Idk what more you want

cerulean nacelle
#

wht accesibility thing has been added? I didnt know

arctic citrus
#

There is a red dot when looking down

#

Below where you are standing

#

Let's you judge where you are with that alone

cerulean nacelle
#

tbh it has a slight latency that makes me misjudge my own position but maybe just my own problem

cloud grove
#

And for combat as well

#

Why should the player get stuck on a quest because they're rubbish at puzzle solving?

Why should a player get stuck on a quest because they're rubbish at combat?

cerulean nacelle
#

but puzzles have answers in the wiki

Fr...

cloud grove
cyan raven
#

what madeline said

arctic citrus
#

Also I'm gonna be honest

#

Using the wiki to solve your puzzles is lame

#

Just figure it out on your own...

cyan raven
#

yea it sucks the fun out of doing a quest and finding the solution in the first place

cloud grove
#

I think it's pretty obvious considering 1 person other than yourself supports this, but it's just not a good idea

arctic citrus
#

Yea

cyan raven
#

also (idk if this is rubbing salt in the wound at this point): dont like your own post

arctic citrus
#

Lmao

cyan raven
#

it gives off the impression you're desperate for updoots and/or made this post just for them instead of genuinely wanting to improve the game (it also skews reactions to favor your side if its a more controversial idea at the start but i dont think it matters at this point)

u kill chickens for eggs?

arctic citrus
#

unless you count attacking a passive mob "combat"

hardy steppe
#

(yeah ok i guess not)

arctic citrus
#

theres underwater

hardy steppe
#

fuck

arctic citrus
#

supply and delivery

#

pit of the dead

#

dwelling walls

hardy steppe
#

wait actually there's some combat at the end of the cave underwater

arctic citrus
#

of what

#

pit of the dead?

#

no?

#

thats a passive "mob" that does not attack you in return

hardy steppe
arctic citrus
#

different cave

#

also you dont even need to go through that cave to get the breathing helmet

#

you dont have to touch that cave period

#

all you have to do is go to the guy

#

deja vu doesnt have combat

hardy steppe
#

oooh ur right, i didnt read the part above the mob list

arctic citrus
#

dont believe meaningful holiday does but id have to double check

hardy steppe
#

dwelling walls is a good example

#

pit of the dead has enemies on the way in tho

arctic citrus
#

thats fair

#

but anyways i think the point im getting at is hitting

#

there are 100% quests that do not have combat

hardy steppe
#

you are correct

cloud grove
hardy steppe
#

no hands, just trauma 😭

cloud grove
#

If killing chickens isn't combat then killing Eyeless isn't. They have red names but don't do anything

#

they're just there to spook you

frosty violet
#

Heart of llevigar

#

Murder Mystery

#

???

#

Then theres stuff like Aldoreis Secret and Feathers Fly where the combat is so easy at its level that it might as well not exist

#

Taproot has no combat except for one very easy gatekeeper guy?

#

Pirates Trove

#

And theres also a lot of quests where only 1 stage features combat and the other 5 main stages isnt combat, like A Maraduer Dues and Enter the Dojo

frosty violet
#

Oh and that harry potter inspired quest doesnt have combat except for 1 of the classes
