Guild Wars 2

Today I have made it to the top of the clock tower 8 time, 4 times in a row. so getting up is no issue. The problem I am having is the last jump into the tower. I will jump at the broken window and nothing. I hit an invisible wall and fall down. I dont know if it was changed from last year but I dont remember it being this hard to get inside the clock tower.

I am using a normal size sylvari character so its not like I have a huge character that I am dealing with.

You’re not the only one, I’ve made it to the top 7 times now and can’t for the life of me make it into the tower.

Pfft. At least you can make it past the first flight of stairs. Can only make it up half the time without randomly getting sent back to the waiting dock XD

I can pretty much confirm this is an issue. I made it up probably 8 times since the patch and haven’t made it through the window.

I am going to try another instance of it see if that makes a difference.

EDIT: It made the difference. On the instance that was bugged I noticed that at the start when everybody is waiting for the pieces to come up, the pieces would hang just for a second. On this new instance they did not. I wonder if that is the “tell” you are in a uncompletable instance?

It is a bug. If you encounter it, reload the map.

It’s not so much a bug as it is lag. The “tell”, as you’ve figured out, is seeing whether the gears that burst out of the wall at the start flow smoothly, or hang in mid air/suddenly appear in front of you.

If you’re in a laggy instance, it’s still possible to get into the window at the top by jumping about 1 – 2 seconds early (basically, jump to the tower when the face BEFORE the window passes by you).

Yep, the bug happened to me too.

The visuals are not in line with the server, try to get on a different server.

One good indication that it’s happening is if the blocks that pop in (like the ones in the beginning) do a bit of a jitter after or half way through the animation.

awesome you are right it is a lag/bug issue. When I went in this time, all the animations were smooth and I made it and jumped right into it.
