Guild Wars 2

I only play a Charr right now. It is so dang hard to time a jump running on all fours. Does anyone find it easier to consistently land jumps when you use two feet only? I could be old – this usually explains a lot of things for me. For example, I was doing the jumping puzzle on the WvW map. If I jump before my front paws hit the ground I usually miss the jump or died – or in rare cases just fell off spot w/o even an attempt at a jump. Tight space are really hard.

At 99% world completion, I can’t say I’ve had problems with it. Pretty easy to learn where your actual hitbox is after playing the race for a few hours. I don’t even think about the animation at all.

I figured it was my old age. My eyes see a hitbox but I cant hit space bar to match it. Wait, 99%? Have you slept since headstart? I’m at 31% and I played when servers opened.

Aside from sitting around waiting for my server to capture the WvW keeps I need points of interest/vistas for, getting to 99% wasn’t that bad. Did maybe a little over a zone a day, with the cities in one day. They go by pretty quickly when you’re focused on bouncing from point to point and ignore most of the really long escort/8 minute defense events, especially when I had a friend along for most of the ride which really speeds things up. Hell, Orr zones don’t even have any hearts to deal with.

If you attack or draw your weapons your char goes on 2 legs with his weapons out, that way it might at least be a bit easier to jump if the on all fours thing is a problem for you.

Look at the hind feet when jumping. When the hands are over the edge and the feet are at the edge, then it is a good time to jump. It goes after the feet, just like with the two-legged races.
