Question: If a change is made to the league scheme, would this change HB's scheme's version?

What if BIG RR is bo3 on smaller maps? First one reaches finish wins, period.

ZaR / Re: Rope schemes without parachute

And of course, anything is easy to learn anyway.
But that's not simply true. This is completely anecdotal. It is not black and white here, there are factors that comes into play here: Age, brain, motivation, , behavior, intelligence, nutrition, the past, the now, and more. I am no expert on the matter, but in general it is not easy for everyone to learn new things. A child can learn an Instrument easier than an adult for example. When adults learn new things, it can cause them frustrations among other things.

If you have learned something in the past, and later meet something contradictory of what you learned, you will have a difficult time to learn. You must unlearn what you already learned.

So to my experience here on WA, some old schoolers may have difficult time to accept the absence of parachute. Why? I theorize that their brain doesn't compute with their past memory, and how they used to play. I seen many ropers rope Inefficient and messed up their turns because of the freedom the parachute provided them. Spectacle wise it is Impressive, but it does not promote efficiency, and consistency.

Long ago, I made Bounce ZAR RR, but each time I heard the bounce, I felt I was hit by a brick. It reminded me of how inefficient I was. But now I understand that it is all about speed. It is all different take in the end.

I think, if you rope without parachute, you ''can'' achieve the same level of speed as you would with parachute. Of course this is without parachute handling techniques, and general falls here and there. You just have to be consistent, as well as fast, precise, and time your spikes and any other tricks for maximum efficiency. But this is hard to achieve at times, and you have to be a robot or TAS.

I agree that with ldet as well with bounce, you can get more out of your turn as you would without parachute. Because In a turn, where you would normally fail, you get to recovery Instantaneously in motion, but then again it depends on the type of fail and speed.

I like all of yours thoughts on the matter. Because of this, I think I may add Ldet to ZaR RR.

The foundation of ZaR is for it to offer a harder alternative. Think of it as a video game with difficulty settings to choose from. That's basically it. The higher the setting, the more difficult it can become the more the player has to overcome that new obstacle, setting, & challenge. This analogy might be flawed though. But I think it holds up.

General discussion / Unrestrict Rope (Fast Rope aka W2Rope).
« on: February 18, 2024, 09:35 AM »
Unrestrict Rope, to my understanding, this is a hidden setting in WA that simulates Worms 2 rope, basically it makes the rope faster.

I have played with this rope a few times since the release of WA 3.8, that also Includes recently. So that made me think ''Why hasn't players adapted to this rope? Why hasn't there been attempts to Implement this rope to current and new schemes?''. and ''Why is there little Interest in it?''.

Personally, I have no qualms with Unrestrict Rope, I actually quite like it. I already have knowledge of rope so because of that, the transition from ordinary rope to unrestrict rope wasn't that difficult. Sure, I am not going to lie, the sensation was a bit strange, but I got used to it.

Thoughts?

ZaR / Rope schemes without parachute
« on: February 18, 2024, 09:21 AM »
Hello. I would like to ask a question. It is about the absence of parachute in rope schemes. It was asked years ago. I thought It could be Interesting to see where people stand on this today.

Do you think that the absence of parachute could Increase the difficulty of rope schemes such as: Shopper, Roper, Big RR, TTRR, and WxW? Or could it be all psychological?

If you don't believe that rope schemes without parachutes makes these modes harder: Would you like to explain why?

That's it for now.

General discussion / Re: Wireless Keyboard For Roping?
« on: February 15, 2024, 02:23 PM »
I have heard about similar stuff about wireless too, that It has Improved significantly over the years, and that it matches that of a wired one, perhaps a step above or could be sometime in the future. Nevertheless, we live in exciting time of technologies.

I have been eyeing on some wireless peripherals that Includes headphones too and it is all for the sake of convenience and aesthetics. Though I have always been sworn to wired when it comes to headphones because it is cheaper and delivers better audio quality that of wireless. But what worries me is the rope sound delay, it could mess up the perception. Thoughts? Sorry for slight off topic, I could had named this topic for ''Wireless peripherals for Worms Armageddon'' heh.

Wireless keyboards are fine for roping when used in 2.4 Ghz connection. Generally, only Bluetooth has horrible latency so I'd avoid that. With that being said, there are a couple options that meet the criteria:

1. Logitech G915 / TKL. Low latency in 2.4 ghz connection and long battery life (can go for several months without charging). However, keycaps will develop shine over time and switches can't be replaced: if a switch breaks after warranty period you won't be able to fix it.
2. Keychron K5 Max / K1 Max. Very customizable keyboard: switches and keycaps are replaceable. Comes with QMK/VIA support which allows to remap keys, create macros, key combinations and so on. Very well built overall: high quality double-shot PBT keycaps, switches and stabilizers are factory lubed. In terms of noise level it is comparatively quiet: I have a K3 Pro which is almost identical to this keyboard and I was surprised to find how quiet it is. Even Logitech K120, a membrane keyboard, is louder. However, battery life leaves a lot to be desired - it can only work for about a week without charging. Also, backlighting on it is useless because it doesn't shine through keycaps.

There are other options but I've only watched reviews or had personal experience with these two.
Interesting. Thank you for the Info. I've been thinking about wireless for sometime. Though i am wondering if Logitech is thinking of releasing a successor to their G915, hmm.

General discussion / Wireless Keyboard For Roping?
« on: February 14, 2024, 04:36 PM »
Long ago back in 2015 I had a cheap wireless keyboard, and it was shit for roping. I learned that wireless wasn't the answer for roping. Fast forward today I wonder if there are any wireless keyboard that can be used for roping, and still rope like you normally would on a wired? Such as Logitech G915 TKL. Any thought on it or any wireless keyboard in general?

That's it for now.

I would dare to say that some TTRR maps does not qualify as TTRR maps at all, but more closer to as a challenge and Tower.

Overall BIG RR and TTRR are very similar while Tower is not. I always thought Tower was completely different kind of beast. Aside from league, it is not as often hosted compared to normal BIG RR.

Also, depends if it's voted or not.


Alright. Thanks for the answer.
