Why are ladders and rope so hard to climb ?

[Neomatamune]

I don't know if I'm the only one feeling it, but compared to the OG RoR the ladder climb on Returns feels really hard, like if you are not exactly on the correct pixel you can't climb :/

I honestly haven't had any issues with climbing, i tend to jump into ropes/ladders and hold up and i latch on without issue

[Neomatamune]

Played a bit more, I feel like it is mostly the last level ladders that get me :/ and I could swear that the huntress can't start a climbing animation while an attack animation is going on :/ (that actually got me killed once ^^' )
But I did not feel the same playing acrid... Will need to play a lot more characters to confirm :/

I feel this so much, climbing timing feels like garbage. Please just snap me to the ladders like in the first game. half my deaths are to failing to grab a ladder and im holding up the entire time.

She can climb ladders in the first game no issue while attacking. Just tested it. It feels really bad in this game

The animations in this game don't get canceled to climb ladders. I died to providence because of that. I hope they fix it.

Same issue for me. It's been years since I last played RoR1, but I feel like you always grabbed ropes as long as you were holding up. Now it feels like you need to have a completely neutral input and only press up. Really frustrating to miss a rope 5 times while getting attacked.

I agree, I believe the colliders for the ladders should at least be the width of the player.

Increasing the horizontal dead zone in the game settings helped me with this.

Climbing is also my #1 problem with this game atm. Everything else, except the scaling might need a lil tweak, is pretty great.

Playing on controller (Switch version) and I find myself climbing things I never meant to, just because the stick is tilted a little. Makes me stop moving and attacking sometimes, and can take a second before I realize why.

And yet, I *still* miss grabbing a rope I am jumping past around a third of the time, and have issues climbing down a ladder in the ground when I am trying to do so...

i'm in the same boat, lost several runs now because i couldn't climb the ropes/ladders :(

Woah ho hooo.. What game were you playing? OG RoR rope climbing is WAY more trash than in this game. You had to literally stop moving forwards and tap up at exactly the right time in order to get on a rope from a mid air jump. In this, you can hold up and get on it.
It used to take me a long time on magma core to get to the artifact area specifically because it could only be accessed via ropes. Same thing with Hives artifact area.

I'm having this problem as well, both on my desktop PC and the Steam Deck, I'm jumping diagonally, from below, left/right, and holding up on the d-pad, or just jumping at it, the magnetism of the character to the rope just isn't there the majority of the time and it's really difficult to do it when there are enemies around. Like the alignment has to be 'just right' and the timing of trying to grab onto the rope.

It's significant enough that I've missed grabbing the rope/chain/otherwise to lose health to it and it's been quite frustrating.

I feel so! it's not so easy as ror1!
