Guild Wars 2

I’ve died more times than I can count in the new zone, by either hitting the wrong action key at the wrong time or aiming my camera in the wrong direction or misjudging how far or how high I could jump or any number of reasons, all in the pursuit of chasing down those elusive Sky Crystals (without using a guide).

But I’ve had more fun here than any other patch to date. Last night I hit both meta achievements simultaneously with the capture of one last crystal and couldn’t feel more happy and satisfied. Well done, ArenaNet, on such an enchanting and fun zone!

if your problem is purely the “death” than you should know that you can use the waypoint during the fall… and you have more than enough time to use it :p

I have no problem, I’m happy for the challenge and the fun

Just a note, I did this and had to pay for the WP twice. Because it glitched out and killed me anyway.

On another note, this thread reminded me of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAYL5H46QnQ

ANet: One day I was walking down the street and this player walks up to me and says, “Hey, please give us mounts”. “We don’t need your mounts!” and threw it on the ground!!! I threw the rest of the player too. Welcome to the real world J*** A**!

I tried waypointing mid fall once and it glitched so that I was stuck at the WP with the falling animation. Couldn’t move, couldn’t dodge, couldn’t stunbreak…nothing. Had to relog. Wasn’t worth the effort after that. No armor damage from dying so I don’t care.

Plus, sometimes those falls are epic. Reminds me of when Aeon FLux (the original Liquid Television shorts, not the crap movie) slips off the airplane and falls to her death.

Gravity is a harsh mistress.

But have you ever hit the wrong action key at the right time?
