Clocktower, I instantly fail...all the time
Have you tried applying Best Performance graphics settings?
It seems like you are loading for too long
Try lowering your graphics settings… this might help, however you also might just be out of luck here.

I think this is an issue with latency. I play at around 150 ms ping, and I get similar issues, except mine are things like being in the middle of a platform, and just randomly porting back to the beginning. It’s counting the green mist as catching me, even if my graphics show it a good two platforms lower than I am. Additionally, its not my pc, I’m on a pretty hefty rig. I’ve also tried it on low settings to make sure that was not the issue, and it still persists.
I also get one where I start in “water” under the rest of the instance. ANet needs to sort server latency issues out before they add more content haha.
I’ve also had this happen several times, where I just get booted back to the outpost before it’s done loading, or I spawn directly in the goo. I never had this problem last year. What did they change?

I had this all the time last year. Never managed to even get it started, always failed as soon as the cutscene ended. I’m not even going to bother with it this year.

I can’t jump to begin with. Literally, “can’t jump worth kitten”. So it makes perfect sense that today in the daily we have the clock tower…
Mixing the story and dailies was a bad idea to begin with, now it’s really kitten ing me off.
You’ve got at least 14 days worth of dailies (and 2 daily’s per day) even if the dailies disappear with the 2nd Halloween patch (and they probably won’t, so a full month’s worth then), if you can’t do the Clock Tower daily then just ignore it and wait until the next ones pop up. There will be far, far more Halloween dailies than you need.
I made it to the top several time, and it ALWAYS misses the last jump. I’ve watched videos and do the same as them, and it teleports me to the beginning instead of inside.
I tried joining a new instance like some people suggested, but it was even worse. I would be jumping along fine, and get randomly teleported to the start. The green water wasn’t even anywhere close!
I was able to do this puzzle fine last year. Please get these bugs sorted out. Its ridiculous.
