TRIA.os // BOLTZONE: Industrial District 88

ID: boltzone
Personal difficulty: Mid Divine (~6.5)
Difficulty with my broken W key (read below): Peak Divine 💀💀
Well, Boltzone V5 finally released after 3 years of development. This is worth all of the hype. I was eager on this map's progress and one day out of nowhere, drip asked me to be a tester for bzv5. My reaction to seeing the map in its entirety and my experience playing it was something only Nos Astra had done before. It feels weird to compare the two maps but they really are the best things we've seen out of this community. Very grateful to have been part of this
You can kinda see the point in the map where they started to switch to tria. First half is very FE2-feeling (like the good era of FE2 not the modern slop tho) and the second half where the mechanics get introduced is a lot more technical. It's insanely fun all throughout.
Here's a funny thing about this completion. Whenever I was testing this map back in January, I did not have this issue. However, while playing this map now, I discovered a hardware (most likely, don't think it's a software issue) issue that most likely appeared recently, and I only noticed what it was now. My W key now apparently has an issue where if I hold it for long periods of time, upon releasing it it stays registered for a solid half second to a second longer. I think Boltzone made me discover this because for most of the map you are holding W, and there's only a few spots where you should let go of it. So I was getting screwed over by my W key delaying its release. I figured out a way to deal with it by letting go of W right before these spots, letting my character walk, then holding W again which should mitigate the output lag. It's still insanely uncomfortable to deal with and especially near the end there's some spots where this was super annoying and difficult.
What's funny is that this most likely already was an issue for me while playing ATH, I just never noticed. Turns out it doesn't affect me on ATH because ATH has a billion spots where you need to stop holding W (and phase 2 where you never let go of W so that doesn't matter), meaning the key doesn't ever have the chance to get stuck.
Which, by the way, Ascension to Heaven soon. Been getting super unlucky with it mainly due to bugs but I'm very close to beating it. Tune in for the streams!!
