Those moments of ARRGH / That one obstacle | Forums

[rlmergeuser]

So, the last two days I've started to feel like I'm actually improving a bit and for the last two hours went through some tracks
to finally zero fault them/get better times. And I'm on Oil Rig, flowing beautifully through the course, easily erasing my previous
best by at least 4 seconds and look there's the finish line and YOU ******G **** OF A ****RAMP! AGAIN!??!?

... the instant the wheels touch the metal I'm playing Trials for the first time. Every. *******. attempt.

If that sounds familiar, feel free to share

(edit) Phew. The spell is broken. Not quite (yet) Platinum, but #232.

Trying to 0 fault Dark City run for the umpteenth time, arrive to the jump before the second scoreboard, proceed to fail the jump once friggin' again and ponder if it would be an opportune moment to see how flammable a controller truly is. Never did 0 fault it actually, even after nailing the jump technique required

Crashing on the last tires of Inferno 3 on a 0 faults run, two different times, still haven't gotten the 0 fault on Inferno 3.

Oh yes. Nice example Mind you, my current performance (3rd/4th attempt) on Dark City is faults=CurrentlyYours*12.5, but of all this 125 faults, only ~25 were spent on the supposedly hardest bit, namely scaling the scoreboard and I was like OH, YES I RULE! - and then came the wallclimb after that, completely ruining my score -_-

Yes, I have this feeling ... and sometimes I want to burn, not just my gamepad, but also the computer, my desk etc

I will tell you no news, but everytime I find such terrible obstacles, I do the track till that point and them I keep just repeating that obstacle till my brain explode... sometimes I have that "clic" and understand how to overcome easily that obstacle, but sometimes I just need to deal with my frustration

For me, I think that kind of obstacle that looks like a guillotine (inferno 3/ the wreck) , with a barrel on top its a "pita" (pain in the a.....) also that inclinated platform, with a negative step on top (sometimes some box) its also a huge "pita" ...

In the other hand, everytime I find out how to overcome such obstacles, my Endorphins take me to an almost nirvana state... very hard to match with any other games I´ve been playing for last 40 years ... for me it`s a simbolic demonstration that we have tools to deal with any obstacles that we face in our lives... sometimes it´s just a matter about - how to approach it .

Regarding the Dark City Run discussion..

Then you'll like the next episode of the University of Trials... I go over uphill transitions which include a short explanation of how to approach that hill climb.

Trails is easy

This is great and exactly why I still play Trials everyday.

doing my first serious attempt at The Wreck. I arrived there at roughly minute 7 with 70ish faults. Got on top on the first try.
I'm still there. Minute 16, faults 253. F*ck that thing
Sometimes I can get my hands to do what my brain thinks needs to be done, mostly they go "Nah, Brain, can't hear you, LALALALAAA"

[rlmergeuser]

Kkkkkkkkkk sometimes I think my brain leave me too, to take a rest ...

I come back to a track that I was performing nicely, and, for some reason, I find out that my fingers are not talking with my brain as used to be...

I think to myself - how is it possible??!! I was overcoming this obstacle before, on my first try !!! Now, its just frustration Now its happening in the end of extreme track "Going up", in that part where you have to go down, in some wodden platform, using a reverse movement, avoiding the bombs...

Pita !!!!
