Guild Wars 2

[as of yet 15 character emoticon representing unhappy face]

I’m not following.

The jump puzzles will presumably be inaccessible since LA is changing drastically…

Although there is an article on Massively which talks about how map completion will still be possible – so perhaps the JP’s will still be there as well.

I’m with FlamingFoxx here, I don’t think we’ll see the puzzles go away.

They may just become harder to get to then they are now. It seems to be a waste to just get rid of them.

Yeah, they will exist, they just won’t be super easy from a time perspective any more.

I currently do the easy one in Southsun (free travel from LA, hopefully the same from Vigil?) and the one on the east side of town every day, mostly to keep a steady stream of the crafting material (as I don’t do dungeons hardly at all), as well as Queensdale and Frostgorge (which is a really easy one for me while I’m gathering). I suppose if the Southsun one was still accessible with free travel from Vigil, that would work. I’d just need to replace the other LA puzzle with something as easy (from a time and travel cost perspective as well). Maybe I’ll do the one in Wayfarer since I’m usually there for Maw? Though I’m not a big fan of all those red circles.

Ah well.

Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn.

You can always just park an alt at the top of one somewhere else to collect every day.

Well, they are still accessible, but it seems like Urmaug’s got a little more slippery (certainly the lag isn’t helping, either).

Yeah, it’s easy to do the Southsun one from the gates at Vigil, and it’s pretty easy to get to and do the one in LA that I like to do, plus pick up a few rubble for heirlooms on the way by, so that worked out great.

I logged in all my lowbies for the try at a Sharkmaw silver doubloon just fine – log in for the first time on someone NOT at a jumping puzzle to eat the initial video, then make sure you grab your chest between X:10 and X:40 during any hour. You’ll only get ejected if you log in while the zone is closed to players.

I had a lowbie Mesmer parked at the Troll’s End puzzle chest and fully expected to find myself in another zone when I logged in to her last night. I was surprised and happy to find myself still there.
However as soon as I opened the chest, one of those beams of destruction from outer space blasted me off the rock that the chest is on.

Take heed, if you still have someone up there for this purpose, open and log out quickly as the blast will knock you off and is unavoidable.

I had an alt parked at one of the JP chests in LA
Logged in with her and she was still standing at the chest
Opened it like any other day

Stability?

Anytime I get to read a ‘Better Off Dead’ quote my day automatically becomes tolerable.

All 3 puzzles can be done, confirmed my myself.

I left my Ranger in Sharkmaw Caverns before the attack started.
Needless to say she was pretty upset when she got out.

They changed it so now you get kicked out of LA … sucks when I have a few alts parked there lol
