Seriously frak Matterspark!!!

Stuck at the final boss and can’t finish the campaign because an ill conceive stupid game mechanic refuses to work as intended. Matterspark only jumps when it feels like it; I have no control over the outcome. Sometimes it jumps like bouncy rubber ball, sometimes it just rolls off the edge, sometimes it jumps but it’s like a heavy lead balloon. This is the most asinine thing I’ve ever experienced in a game!!! And the fact that it’s so heavily incorporated into the final boss fight means I now don’t give a damn about finishing this campaign. Frak this campaign! Frak this game! Frak this studio! I’ve just about reached my limit with this bullshite!

    Hello ALL, Found this YouTube video that solved everything! You go into your controller settings and find the “Boost” settings in your sparrow tab. Bind that button to whatever your “Jump” button is and wallah, your little Spark Ball is suddenly as nimble as a Belgian Malinois able to leap anywhere and anything you want it to. Hope my pain and exploration helps anyone else struggling with that stupid little ball.

  • It retired me from spending money. I played the first mission, got the artifact, that was it. I really want the handcannon and warlock gloves, but I cannot stomach having to play Temu Metroid.

    • Wait, don't tell me you didn't use the ball's acceleration when jumping onto platforms with boosters. I think that might be the only reason for the failure, as the ball controls perfectly (as for me, I played the campaign on a PS3 gamepad connected to my PC via a dongle and had no problems at all).

    • Sounds like extreme skill issue I'm afraid

      • I had this problem, and found a short YouTube video that a player referred to it as the bullsh!t spark throughout but had an adjustment that actually helped me complete the last boss fight. It was an adjustment in settings but it was something like for a vehicle. I’ll see if I can find it and post a link. Ok, I checked and actually found it quick. Do what this video says and if I could do it, anyone can. Just remember to change back to you original settings because it will mess you up when you’re trying to use your sparrow since the same command to pull up your spark is the same as your sparrow when not on Kepler. https://youtu.be/siLGa8Lf-FA?si=7ZG3oKXXHGFqO2cO I hope this helps many others!

      • I ended up putting vehicle boost and jump on the same button (ps4). Made a whole bunch of difference. But that end boss mechanic can do a big one imo lol

      • Not going to lie, I ran the campaign with my brother and it was a good thing too because I'm so terrible with Matterspark I left him to manage the mechanics against the boss while I distracted him and handled the adds.

      • I was frustrated enough using matterspark in the first mission, the free one available without an EoF purchase. Can imagine how motion sickness and 🤬 I’d be playing that campaign. If you go back and try again then good luck on getting it done. If you don’t want to then I really understand why not. But either way, you’re definitely not alone in disliking matterspark.

        • I was already hesitant to get Edge of Fate when I realized there would be no new public patrol option. Then I watched a video with matterspark and decided that I would go “free to play” for the first time ever. No regrets.

          • The "super jump" mechanic is the one that trips me up all the time. More often than not, you'll just boost forward and do a normal jump instead of the super-high jump they want you to use, causing you to fall to your death. I don't know if it's me or a timing issue in the game, but I do know I hate it (and I hate most things related to Matterspark anyway).

          • I have a problem on controller where the discharge and jump button are the same thing! So I can’t jump through the portals to discharge and get rid of shields. I run bumper jumper on my control scheme. The work around is to use my keyboard and nose to do it. Incredibly frustrating. It used to be the LB to jump in matters park but that has since gone and reverted back to the a button no matter what config I use.
