FAQ

There are many way to play and you will soon find what works for you! To help you along the way, I have compiled these tips from the community (the awesome folk over in Discord).

## How do I change movement types?

* Main menu - Options - Locomotion - SKI/PULL

## What's the difference between 'Ski Mode' and 'Pull?'

* Let's imagine you can grab and hold the air around your hand. When you move your arm you will move in relation to that! That is Pull mode! You move your arm and hand to move.
* Now let's imagine that the air you can grab is at the bottom of your Bow. When you grab, it's the bottom of the bow that acts as the grab point! Meaning you only need to move your arm a little and you can use your wrist to move you around! That is Ski mode.
* In both modes the arrow pulling hand(offhand) can be used to throw the player airborne.

## How can I enable the aiming reticule?

* Main menu - Options - General - Enable reticule

## The music is too loud!? Can I change that?

* In V1.1.1 Volume sliders were added in the pause menu. The changes you make will stay between matches.
* Pause the match (if your quick menu is the right controller, press the left controllers oculus button, and vice versa)
* Volume sliders will be on the left.

## How can I mute the enemy?

* You can open the pause menu (if your quick menu is the right controller, press the left controllers oculus button, and vice versa)
* Use the mute buttons next to player names on the left hand side. You can also mute yourself!

If you encounter behaviour you consider offensive, racist, sexist, please start recording immediately and remember the username, contact the Normal. team or community moderator in discord.

## I have stick drift!?

* You can disable thumbstick input by selecting Turn mode "None" from the pause menu. The changes you make will stay between matches. To pause the match, if your quick menu is the right controller, press the left controllers oculus button, and vice versa)

## How to change the bot difficulty?

* From the main menu start a custom match and add the bots you would like.
* Once in game, pause the match, to pause the match, if your quick menu is the right controller, press the left controllers oculus button, and vice versa
* On the right hand side there is a drop down menu where you can select the difficulty level!

Try the "On fire" mode! Good luck!

## Blocks

A block can be used to interrupt your enemies play and redirect the ball.

* After firing an arrow, press A while it is in flight.
* The angle of your bow when you press A determines the angle of the block when placed.

## Jumping / getting airborne / getting stuck in the air

* You can use your pulling hand to grab the air and throw downward, launching yourself upwards!
* Be careful though, the longer you spend in the air the less effective movement will be until you are near the floor, wall or ceiling again.

## Why does the ball move so slow when I shoot it?

* Shooting the ball once will get it rolling, shooting it twice rapidly will really get it moving!
* Even faster? When you pull your arrow back pull your hands as far apart as possible for those crazy speeds!!
* The players speed is also added to the arrow speed when you shoot it. Use this to add even more speed to your arrows when attacking!

## Arena size

* The arena size changes between the match types. 1v1 is the smallest, 2v2 is medium and 3v3 is HUGE.

## Why is "..." missing from the tutorial? Why aren't we told about "..."?

* You can find a controller scheme in Training - Controls
* Yes certain things are missing and this is intentional, the team doesn't want to overload you with information too early until you've mastered stringing together the basics. If you're handed everything right at the start you wont feel the exhilaration of learning something new and thinking "Hey! I can use that do this this, which will help when I etc. etc."

Everyone in the community is super nice! Ask questions and 90% of the time you'll be surprised how helpful people are.
