Guild Wars 2

Got as far up the clocktower as i can, to 2 beams sitting next to eachother… theres nothing to jump to past that… is it bugged? can i get an official answer before i stop jumping?

Got there too. Thinking that path is a trap and there’s someway to jump on the stuff on top.

how do u enter this “realm” ?

Yeah, stuck in the same place with few guildies, we don’t see another way up from there

Posting to say that I can’t see what to do either. I hear an explosion, and I expect stuff to come out and build a bridge. Nothing happens and I lose.

I am at work, but by the sounds of all this I can’t wait to try it. Especially after a hint like that Anthony!

Yeah Anthony, I thought about that. Nothing changes when I look back though.

Sometimes the way up is also the way down.

Omg you, so we probably have to jump on that lower clockwork platform where I saw the chest standing on, just past the ‘red’ rocks. Thanks!

I’m guessing leap of faith but eh too many small geometry bits stopping me from getting back up there.

And I’m guessing going up until you do a 360 degree from where the chest is and then jump down on it, perhaps. I’ll try it at least.

Just posting again – the explosion that you hear is from the clock tower. However the bits just fly off and disappear. You can’t jump into the hole either.

Ah got past that part. Slipped later on.
Can we not have narrow slippery platforms?

same problem here, got to the very tippy top of the beam, ran back down to look around, back up… nothing.

And posting again! It’s functional. I did it. Woo!

Tell us how to complete it, please?

Follow Anthony’s quote. Sometimes the way up is the way DOWN.

I just finished it, thanks for the hint!

when in doubt, jump, don’t look back.. look down

And people where complaining about the “puzzle” to get to the cauldron.

Expect demands for this arenanet, lol

This jumping puzzle is amazing. Very VERY well done.

I think there may still be a bug or two with it.

I made it to the top of the tower, where the face is supposed to shatter. It didn’t shatter, the green goo reached me, but instead of tossing me back I just started falling over and over, re-loading into the map constantly until it finally punted me into the next group’s ascent.

Then I fell through the floor again (literally, fell through solid ground), and continued falling a handful more times before finally returning to the lobby.

I’d like to say that the Clock Tower jumping puzzle is perfect. Don’t change a thing difficulty-wise. It’s kittening amazing.

Why on earth isn’t the clock tower instanced?

The geometry bits are annoying too.

The thing is, this is a jumping puzzle. This was BUILT to be hard, and BUILT to be a skill challenge of jumping.

But it’s not a skill challenge when your jumps or movement are blocked by little foot wide pieces of scenery. It’s forced/false difficulty, and it’s aggrivating.

Same goes for camera issues and other players being in the way. These things need to be changed.

I can only hope this tower is permanent so we dont have to sit here for hours until we get to the top (Only to not know where to go, as people are finding out once they get there! You can’t even complete it once you get to the top, because it was designed as a trick, or something, according to one of the devs.)

Done it and finished awesome puzzle Well done developers and designers

that was fun thx anet, so sneaky

Ah got it. Jump into the tower. Got chest. Got achievement. Boots are traveler exotic.

So any of the other events work?

Hardest part about this puzzle is seeing your character and having the patience to wait for the bizarro requirement of everyone else to load back with me. Why can’t I just start jumping again on my own? I spend all week waiting on other people, I don’t want to do it in my game time.

Hurray I did it!!! That was awesoooomee! Thank you Anet

Edit: I got achievement and two tonics + Lvl 80 exotic: http://www.gw2db.com/items/70802-mad-kings-slippers

Edit 2:

Please do NOT read the following if you do not want to spoil the puzzle for yourself but here’s what to do at the top:

How do u jump in the tower lol

Well, I’ve been stuck at the same part and I’ve got over fifty tries now. Thanks Anet. I’m just going to count my losses and give up on the emissary achievement.

look down when you get to the tip of the beam

Terrible reward BTW, how about giving us our choice of Halloween skins instead? That would be more festive than some stupid boots.

Where is the JP located?

This is ridiculous, as an Asura I can’t see myself through the group.

Also are there fake chests?

After dozens of nerve-wrecking attempts…

Mind explaining how you made the last jump into the face?

Every time I Try I hit a invisible wall and fall into the goo.

Me too, I can’t break the clock face.

Can somebody actually give a good description?

Oh boohoo, why do it for the challenge if you can do it for the loot, aye.

like I said before..they should scrap all the halloween things and send people green skins in the mail, its all they really want.

I am very much looking forward to this puzzle. I’ve been using the clock tower as my desktop background since the Halloween page went live. I’m sure some people would hate this but I’d really love a dungeon that was actually filled with puzzles like this instead of monsters.

Can anyone tell me what to do at the clock face?

I vote for the skins, not the shoddy mad king gear.

Really – This puzzle is WAY to difficult for a seasonal thing. I have been doing it since the opening, 4 times i reached the 2 beams and them im stuck on what to do. And please dont tell me the same thing ive read up here – i cant figure it out.

So far great event – but this one is way to hard.

Yep. I get to the top and there is nowhere to go

Absolutely amazing. I’m in state of total euphory right now

Frankly, I have no idea. Did not even know there was a problem. One attempt I ende up at what seemed the end of the path, already wondered what I did wrong, then saw the tower turn around (or the rubble rotating around... yay relativity) so that I could see the window, and thought heck, better than standing here, jumped towards it. Them came a loading screen, I already cursed myself for having botched that one attempt where I finally got that high up... then found myself in the room inside.

Seriously, guys? Can one of you please give a detailed explanation here? We’re trying and need help
