#Jumping Arrows

So for a while now I've had this issue, skill issue or not, that sometimes when I try to shoot arrows off the ground by firing right before hitting said ground, I'll sometimes just bounce off the ground instead. Now sometimes this is recoverable, but if it's a long line of enemies that I desperately need, say during a bonus stage, it can cause me to start panicking and shooting all over the place to make up for it.

The way I see it there'd be two ways to prevent this from happening, make it so you shoot arrows every time you hit the jump button, so you can fire off the ground, or make it so you specifically both fire your bow and jump at the same time when you're bouncing. There could also technically be a third way, and just give us a button that fires arrows specifically if you don't want to jump, but that might affect mobile users negatively.

I realize this might seem like a pure skill issue thing, but I like having room for error when I play games, and being punished because I didn't time my click at the specific exact timing right before hitting the ground feels bad.

this isn't a problem when using dark projectiles ddiv

#

make it so you shoot arrows everytime you hit the jump button
that doesn't really solve the problem as the arrows will not be shot on the ground

#

unless yuo have insane bow speed

#

they probably don't have dark projectiles

#

otherwise this post wouldn't exist

obtuse atlas
#

and if I hit the ground and bounce instead of firing?

echo trail
#

dark projectiles decreases bow speed but increases bow souls

obtuse atlas
#

ah

#

I guess what you mean is it starts the firing animation well before it hits the ground then?

ashen tusk

#

it just feels weird that timing can backfire so badly because of this

echo trail
#

I can consistently fire arrows on the ground even without dark projectiles

obtuse atlas
#

i timed it TOO well, now I jumped instead of firing the bow

echo trail
#

@obtuse atlas fun fact

#

yuo can do the boost jump animation without boosting if yuo jump the exact frame yuo touch the ground

#

I can do it consistently

ashen tusk

#

okay so the dissonance between firing and jumping is the problem then.

echo trail
obtuse atlas
#

yes that's what I meant by bouncing

#

it FEELS bad when that happens because it makes it look like I hit a frame perfect bad thing

echo trail
#

yuo ain't shooting while boosting?

obtuse atlas
#

I am

echo trail
#

well yuo always do the boost jump animation when boosting

obtuse atlas
#

but I'm talking about the animation where I roll into a ball with my jump

#

even when it wears off

okay so maybe I'm communicating this badly, it feels like I'm hitting a tiny timing window to get negative results.

#

normally in video games you get rewarded for hitting something with a short window, but in this case it's the opposite is what I mean.

echo trail
#

here's a solution (can't guarantee it's a good one): only hit enemies with diagonal arrows

obtuse atlas
#

God I can't get those mission speed up divinities fast enough

echo trail
#

it took me 3 uas (with 2 of them having ultra prestige active and a few minions at max) to get those

obtuse atlas
#

I think the divnity tier list might be a bit weird then, because I keep trying to follow it only to cave when I feel like I desperately need something smaller

echo trail
#

how close are yuo to unlocking dark divinities?

obtuse atlas
#

I have them, I just don't have 140 on me right now

echo trail
#

cause even if yuo get enough dp to get minion speed up its better spent on some of the ddivs

#

ah okay

obtuse atlas
#

admittedly if I hit reset divinities before ultra resetting I'd have 1200 DP

echo trail
#

here's my ddiv tierlist #6usp-to-astral message

obtuse atlas
#

er

#

wait

#

no I mean I have 600 DP

#

okay so if I reset, I'd lose 20, but have enough to activate ultra reset but i'd still need to GET to the UA level first, which is going to need 10.5 billion soul points, but while the biggest points I could possibly get from Ultra divinity would be 600 for now, the individual time needed to get minions that strong would be absurdly high

echo trail
#

I think yuo'll get 20 more dp before yuo hit ua level

#

also ddivs are refundable

obtuse atlas
#

ultra prestige sounds really tempting, but it'd take 12 days to captialize on

#

anyways I guess I just need to figure out if the DD are more important than speeding up minions or not

#

and you're telling me they are

echo trail
obtuse atlas
#

DOUBLES?

echo trail
#

yes

#

doubles

obtuse atlas
#

I must have just misread the tooltip

echo trail
#

yuo say yuo have ddivs but haven't check them?

obtuse atlas
#

I keep only glancing over the ones I can't afford yet

ashen tusk
echo trail
#

that's what +100% means

ashen tusk
#

Not when there are other bow souls buffs that boost by percentages

#

Think of it like this; if you already have 200% bow souls then get another 100% added on to that, it becomes 300%, which is a 1.5x increase from before. If you have a 2x multiplier added to that 200%, it becomes 400%

echo trail
#

yeah

#

I see

ancient orbit
#

aren't they all multiplicative anyway

#

bow soul upgrades, I mean.
