Guild Wars 2

They need to just remove the puzzle. All it has accomplished is causing a major fight among the community.

The puzzle isn’t the problem, it’s merely the catalyst in a generation of gamers who feel like they’re owed something. A generation of gaming that can’t accept that not everyone is going to be a winner.

so the ones that will not be winners well stay falling on the puzzles, or do not make the special events because of the puzzles? i do not say that we should remove them but at least they could not count for the special events, so the ones who want to do it just do it and be rewarded the ones that cant or dont want well just dont do it and everybody will be happy

The Clocktower achievement doesn’t actually count towards the Emissary title that people want, so if that’s the only reason you’re killing yourself trying to complete it, take solace in the knowledge that you can skip it.

Well so its done, complains are unecessary. who dont like puzzles just dont do it like me the reward isnt nothing special!
Btw thanks to say me that will not waste more time there

People have beat it with multiple characters…obviously yes its challenging no it’s not too challenging.

After the first part/small rock where it is indeed time pressed, things get slower and easier, if you are having trouble seeing your character its best to try and memorize the location your character is supposed to be in just for the beginning, after that most would have fallen off already.

I got used to it to the point that charrs and norns blocking my view doesnt deter my progress at all, its just a matter of getting used to know where your character is and only needed for the beginning, by the time you reach the point mentioned you are most likely alone

And while this puzzle is challenging and at the beginning frustratingly fun, its a far cry from impossible or poor design, this is a masterpiece which I hope they include more for the future

You’re very welcome, I just wish more people were as easily satisfied as you are.

(I do understand the frustration many players have)

Out of all the event, I like this one th most. I am 45 years old with a job and a family, I am an average gamers at best and in most PVP I struggle to maintain a 1:1 Kill to death ratio.

This is one of those skill based things, like PVP. I hate the one were it was pure chance. You have 1 in 100000 to get the OMG item so those with more time or luck have the best chance to get it. This one require some skill on who to get out in front and stay there. It was hours of amusement for my guild and we will talk of this with laughter. I say they did a great job here.

The jumping puzzle is fantastic. Every single piece. The pause that some people are whining about is all part of what makes it a great- taking you off your rythm for a short bit really adds to the challenge.

And running the puzzle with other people is also a great idea- it gives a sense of urgency, and competitiveness. It is fun that some people get distracted by the group. The whole point of a jumping puzzle is that you are really only competing with yourself- if you do not make it, the fault is entirely your own.

The creeping fog death is also great, it is funny seeing people trying for the first time who get sucked in right away. So funny!

Some people cannot handle that aspect of it, but I say bravo on the puzzle.

I can’t help but wonder how this generation would react to the old school nintendo games, which were just one giant jumping puzzle and you had only a limited number of attempts before you had to start over from the beginning.

Even if not everyone CAN finish it, I think they should keep it the way it is and do similar stuff in future, just so there remain a few GENUINE challenges out there instead of the game being a complete tourist resort…
