Attohwa Chasm Mountain

[WyldFyre]

Easily my biggest CoP related gripe is the mountain you have to climb in order to do ENM's in Attohwa Chasm. It's infuriating to fall multiple times at the same spot while watching PS2 users just breeze through.

The problem is not my pc. It's happened to just about everybody I know. There's 2 typical areas that give pc users trouble on that mountain, why hasn't SE adjusted them?

I can understand climbing the mountain being a challenge, but the difficulty of climbing is lopsided between ps2 & pc users, and it seems like a technical glitch instead of design.

I play on PC and I hardly ever fall off, it's not that hard.

[Dammerung]

It's easy when you figure out how to approach it. I hardly fall off and run through it.

[Popeh]

I play on PC and sometimes 2-3 box friends chars up there for ENM item - rarely fall off and that's using /follow.

[Blabj]

The hardest part is remembering which way to run, I usually run the video on http://ysac.reshasha.com/ over the top of FFXI and follow that as closely as I can.

Only place I used to fall off is on the lower level right before the final climb there's a bend to the right followed by a sharp turn to the right. Now I just go into first person and keep my view turned slightly to the left through that whole curve. Theres another area where there's a sharp turn to the left and down a bit, basically just do the same thing for it. Haven't fallen off since I started using first person, it makes it a lot easier.

Friend of mine falls off all the time there but I never have any problems; I asked him if he uses 1st person mode (I do) and he said no. Which mode do you use?

[Shuemue]

PC, 3rd person, cake. I run up that bitch in gaiters.

snap bitches what now?

[Nirokun!]

i've played PS2 and PC

i have to say PC is easier, that bend mentioned above (near the ground, n-shaped) fucked me up more on PS2 than PC

i go into 1st person to deal with that area, but yeah, I RUN UP THAT BITCH IN GAITERS

its not too bad, just need practice

I haven't fallen off since the first time I climbed up. I also quit for a year and a half and totally forgot the route, but remembered it instantly after my friend showed me the start

Me too. Third person view, with the camera rotated so that you're always running slightly (about a 30 degree angle from forward) into the wall. Kill any music or anything that's taking up CPU power, because a bit of lag when you're not expecting it can make you move too much and fall.

The only part I ever fall off (and still very rarely) is the part where you're like a foot off the ground and you're going in a U-shape. The bottom part of the U can be tricky sometimes.

I run up the mountain in W.Legs. No PS2, no 1st person, no camera trickery, no running into the wall, no fancy shit, just...you know...paying attention. The only part where I switch to walk mode is the thin bridge near the beginning, but even that I've run across before with no problems.

[Falisa]

Well, I used to have a really old comp I played FFXI on and I always fell off on that one part closest to the ground without fail. I have a brand new comp now and that mountain is so easy now. So I dunno. I just needed to have a friend climb the mountain and I put them on follow in first person mode to get up the mountain on my old comp.

I think the website http://www.yousuckatclimbing.com is worth mentioning here.

My friend and I have duo'd Like the Wind so many times that we could do that mountain blindfolded. Tricks, camera angles, PS2 or PC, its just what you're used to. But yeah, the U will get you.

[BRP]

I haven't fallen off since the first time I climbed up.

Same here, and that was years ago. It's really not hard once you get used to it. The n-part is more of an issue with the camera angle I think. I found it pretty fun when it was first introduced, FFXI being a sort of a platformer there.

How in hell can you possibly get a Regain Feather without telehacking? I got one luminant spawn that was as close as it could be from the "entrance", I used powder boot and didnt even make it halfway throught the maze before getting the fade message. It dropped to lv 2/5 by the time I get to the end.

I run up the mountain in W.Legs. No PS2, no 1st person, no camera trickery, no running into the wall, no fancy shit, just...you know...paying attention.

Same here, although I do unequip my Shield to see the edges easier.

Seriously. Equipping your weapons and armour will help a bit. I zip up in Wyrmal Legs and the only time I've fallen was when I accidentally stuck myself on auto-run and started to type something in linkshell chat.
