[Challenge] Master of Climbing

[asdfx123]

Just saying there shouldn't be these "pure" walljump climbings,
Maybe try to get a challenge that requires some items and skills.
Isn't it boring to see everyone solve it the (nearly) same way?

I have just read this message now... I'm sorry, I'm just not the right guy for these challenges. For me, this counts more to general
exploration/exploration techniques. However, if I do another challenge I will consider this, Xyleninja. And by the way! No, it's not boring (-;

I just know if i hit my keyboard W and Space at the same time, really exactly at the same time
it still got a delay. And i'd really love to solve that kind of climbings too.

I've tried at least 5 different keyboards since I started wallclimbing (not including notebooks and stuff... (NEVER try to climb on a notebook keyboard)).
Of course, the keyboard has big infuence on wallclimbing, no question. However, there are also so many other parameters which affect climbing.
On some days I can't even do 15 jumps in a row, on other days more than 60. But in the end it's not only a question of technical-
or condition-based circumstances. It really depends on the way you do it. My neighbors always know when I'm climbing, no doubt, haha.
My climbing results are waaay better when I not simply press the keys as smooth as I do it for typing. Another factor:
Climbing with cold hands is awful, I would recomment a warm room temperature. These are some (but only SOME (-; ) of my "tricks".

Maybe you have an old or simply another keyboard you can check out for climbing? The keyboard is truely an important factor...

I hope this little monologue wasn't too boring once again.

Well, i have to say sorry for my early conclusion that this isn't possible.

I though of a way, why it works for others but not for me.
So I looked up in my keyboard settings and i saw i could change the "time" between keystrikes.

After that, my main problem got so easy.

I also just noticed that Jaburius had already completed the challenge (bastard), so I guess here's an alternate route. It took hours to complete, so it really gave me a whole new appreciation for how good all of you are at this.

Also, the main problem for me was finding a consistent route that wasn't extremely complicated. This was the simplest of all I've found.

Are you macroing though? I see the toggling of an action bar button per jump if you are, try it without; it's even more frustrating when you screw up the last couple of jumps from bad timing :P

Anyway, I'm still working on Jab's current challenge and the quickest I've managed is 4:07 just to mid-wall screw ups.

I'm not sure what to call it given the previous definitions, but it's a macro in-game. It's a technique where the max fps is reduced using "/console set maxfps 1" before jumping then back to default afterwards. I know it's not entirely "legit", but it's not macroing of the usual sense where a program automates all input. Not to mention that it's great practice for wall climbing in general.

It still requires you to input precisely, but it just helps with the timing. An argument can be made that it is "legal" because it is just simply typing a command before you jump, but I wouldn't want to detract from the players who are truly skilled in wall climbing, as I hope to be as good as them some day.

Sorry about that btw. I guess I've convinced myself it isn't macroing in that way, but maybe it is.

I can still manage to make it to the dark brown area without the macro (once), but I need more time to work on that.
But man is it frustrating when you get to the top, only to fail on the LAST jump. This wall has been very mean to me.

[Hazzbazzy]

Well, I used to terrible at wall-climbing up until about a month ago when I bought my new keyboard; If you're having trouble with timing jumps it could your keyboard, as that was related to my problem (bearing in mind I used the same keyboard since Wrath and assumed I was just terrible lol (10 jumps in a row was a rarity)). I think on some keyboard driver software you can change the delay between you pushing the key and the input to the PC, so that could be an option for you. Your route was a lost simpler than mine btw, mine was 442(1 X amount of times)3

In relation to what you said about failing the last jump, there's an insane wall that we've not fully completed, because someone failed the last jump xD

My poor neighbors must know every time I'm doing a sticky wall climb... "bang-BANG!...bang-BANG!...bang-BANG!..."
I really get in a rhythm and start wailing on my keyboard. One of my kids usually comes down and asks what is going on. Heh.

i have to check, if the race of your toon changes the result of walljumping.
got the feeling my tauren is doing way better than my human ._.

Spots can change depending on races, I often find different / higher spots on my superior Nelf than what Jab does on his peasant dwarf.

I just had a look at earlier challenges and I noticed that MistaKatz started a very similar one on page 7 of this thread... I'm sorry for that partial-repost. But surprising in a way that we had the same idea - totally independent from each other. I guess we simply have the same taste when it comes to wallclimbing, haha.

Compromise with the Hellfire one then :P

For motivation, here one of my solutions: [Challenge] Master of Climbing - Dun Morogh Waterfalls - YouTube

I hope that someone solves this soon, it's not too difficult in my eyes (-:

10 days have passed and nobody solved this challenge. I think that's not too good for this thread. Consequently I removed the 3:30 maximal time-rule completely. There are no time restrictions anymore, it doesn't matter how long your climb is. Since I want to hold this thread alive, I'm going to post another challenge in case that it isn't solved in 3 days. I've got enough material, haha!

God damnit Jab I'm still trying!

I'd be more patient. Some challenges around here (like in the HM thread) have taken up to 4 months to solve.
Let it sit for a while.
