Well, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I don't want to "train my apm" as a korean proplayer just to explore a couple of optional rooms in a single player action adventure. These crystals emerging from the ground don't just hurt you, they knock you back, often just above another crystal, causing a chain reaction. What's worse is that sometime ONE SINGLE misstep is enough. If it was just a matter of keeping "more or less" a regular rhythm I wouldn't have problems, but it seems like you as a developer are asking me to nail the timing in terms of milliseconds as margin of error, while traversing elaborate/harmful environment. I even like mechanics that require a certain timing in general and I wouldn't ask "just for random button mashing to work", but as I said it feels like the requirements here are too strict to be fair. In all honestly I couldn't give a crap about. My feeling is that the developers expect me (as "the player" in general) to want to commit on improving with it to the point of gaining a degree of mastery that. Your friend may be a bit too harsh about it, but I can see where he's coming from. until we unlocked chain-dashing.Īs much as I understand why chain dashing was done with a rythm requirement, I understand the frustration and I think the mechanic would be much better if it just allowed the player to just mash the dash button as fast as possible and just keep chain-dashing. Dont underestimate the dash It helps you traverse the area faster than walking, gets you across gaps, and helps get you out of sticky situations. Originally posted by BlackShark:I played the game in coop with a friend. looking for Hyper Light Drifter Coming Next Spring - video Dailymotion you’ve came to the right web. It didn't matter if I told him that chain-dashing is only required in a few places for puzzles, and rarely used for combat : "the game clearly wants me to learn and use it, and the game's clearly doing everything it can to make it impossible for me : the game does not want me to enjoy it."Īs much as I understand why chain dashing was done with a rythm requirement, I understand the frustration and I think the mechanic would be much better if it just allowed the player to just mash the dash button as fast as possible and just keep chain-dashing. The game is already hard enough, now the game forces me to close my eyes and shut my ears to use the core mechanic of the game (dashing) : that's it, let's play something else !"
HYPER LIGHT DRIFTER CHAIN DASH MACRO UPGRADE
The first upgrade allows you to chain dashes together with an accurate use of the dash button. He told me : "I can't see any hint of the rythm in the animation because once I see the drifter's animation ending it's already over, the sound pitch change confuses me so I can't trust my ears either. Simply hold ‘Y’ to talk to him and you’ll be offered three different upgrades. until we unlocked chain-dashing.Īfter 10 minutes of attempts and failure to get the rythm, he rage-quit the game. It took me more than 20 hours and 3 playthroughs to reliably pull a 5x chain dash in the field, and my record in the shop is 30x chain dashes (I have abandonned all hope of ever reaching the 800x achievement). I have to admit though that I didn't master it at the end of my first playthrough. I found it easier to do in 60fps than before although I'm not sure if it's because I have a few hours more training or the framerate change. But once you get it right it is very rewarding. It took me a lot of (frustrating) practice to learn it. Using a synapse macro to do the dash t a press time of 140ms and a delay of 130ms - Watch whole stream at. Simply hold ‘Y’ to talk to him and you’ll be offered three different upgrades.I agree that chain dashing is very hard to get right. Head into here and you should find a guy to talk to. Just to the North-east of here, you should see a building with two arrows on the sign. In order to upgrade, you’re going to need to head back to the central hub world and head North from the diamond-shaped platform on the floor. So make sure you’ve picked up enough Gear Bits during your travels to build up a hefty sum of Upgrade Bits to purchase your upgrades. Now, just like every other upgrade in Hyper Light Drifter, these cost Upgrade Bits.

In order to do this, you’ll need to get yourself kitted out with some upgrades. Instead, you’ll need to be able to chain dashes together, have a little extra protection, or perhaps chain an attack onto the end of your speed maneuver. However, sometimes your standard dash that you start the game with just won’t be enough. Not only is it useful to avoid charging enemies and projectile attacks, but it also allows you to reach difficult platforms and collect health packs, Gear Bits, and more. Your dash in Hyper Light Drifter is pretty important.
HYPER LIGHT DRIFTER CHAIN DASH MACRO HOW TO
Here’s how to upgrade your dash in a number of different ways. Hyper Light Drifter will have you constantly hitting the dash button to help you access hard-to-reach places or evading enemy attacks.
