First Boss Fire Ring impossible spawn

[Uncle Birdman]

I'm getting really tired of getting the first boss jump spawned in such a position that it is neigh impossible to get the speed required to make it through the flaming hoop. About 40% of the time I get to this jump, and the hill does not give enough speed on it's own to make it. So I have to backtrack up the main hill each attempt to try and get the speed, but no matter how far back I track, going up the pre-boss hill brings my speed back down too low to make the fire again.

This is really frustrating and has happened to me many times. I can make the jump over and over, but without the speed to make the ring of fire, I need to restart the run.

Anyone else have this issue?

At the first place I really like the game and I spend almost 30 hours in there. About the boss jump, it so silly. You are able to drive them around In the game (at least in some game mode) there should be some check or way how to force player to stay on track. I know this is due to level generation.

the ring of fires requires the same speed that the normal jumps need. the only diference is the lineup and the jumpoff point on the ramp. the jumpoff points are usually halfway up the ramp. i do agree that the generations does make it seem that it's not doable and impossible but as far as i was informed the bosslevels are the only set parametres that are consistent with generation.

there is also a lot of movement tech that isnt explained in the tutorials and tips and tricks section which can help with a lot of stuff in the game. from surviving large falls with counterpumping just before you land to cushion your fall. and jumping at the base of the ramp while holding back (kinda doing a wheelie up the ramp while you jump up it) to perform a moonjump.

the game has an official discord which hold a ton of people who can help you get better at the game :P

It's not a lack of ability when this happens. I routinely fakie through entire forest levels, I have 400+ hours logged to the game, I love it. I get to the volcano all the time (and nailed the volcano jump on my first playthrough getting there).

What I am complaining about is when the first area (the only one that this problem seems to happen in) spawns the jump in such a way that the ring cannot be accomplished. The jump can, I can do the jump over and over attempting to get the ring, but the size of the hill provided is not sufficient to make the ring on it's own, and it has a significant uphill section beforehand that reduces any velocity I have attained before that point.

I know that the ideal time to pull back and pump is at the middle section of the jump, I know how to get the max height or distance out of a jump.

I think they need to change their algorithm to make the hill just slightly higher so these scenarios don't occur.

I tried generation some seeds (10) and I could complete all pretty easily. Only one failed from checkpoint (but was still doable from start).

Does it happen frequently on your end? We'll tweak the parameters a bit more to prevent it from happening for sure!
