Guild Wars 2

Good news guys! The clock-tower does not count for the Mad King’s Emesary achievement/title! Also, since seasonal achievements are likely to disappear after the holiday, this means you can still get 100% completion of the game WITHOUT doing this jumping puzzle! Those missed achievement points? There’s no real max achievement points because of repeatable achievements like Dailies. So be happy, rejoice, and have a fantastic Halloween!

Props and respect to those who accomplish the Clocktower anyway.

Good news! The whole game is skippable. Talk about missing the point.

Good news! There’s no middle ground, the world revolves around me.

Lol, Im talking about game completionists here. They aren’t missing out by being unable to participate in this jumping puzzle.

Yes, they are. Completionists exist to complete things.

If you take that from them, you might as well take out their brains with a icecream scoop, cook them with cinnamon, and serve them to a mountain troll.

How about we limit this to apply to “title collectors”?

Oh Theta honey. You have no idea about the word “completionist” do you. Or what drives us to do it.

You can’t just ‘skip’ it. It absolutely must be done. No matter how many glass desks we shatter or laptops thrown against walls or keyboards smashed on floors in our mad rage.

A true completionist won’t care about achievements. They’ll do things for the sake of it, because they are there to be done, like the first guy who reached level 20 in pre-Searing Ascalon in Guild Wars 1.

Oh, hey, you can skip and ignore the entire Halloween event, period! And you might be better off, too.

Thank you theta zero that makes me feel a little better that im not goign to waist 5 hours of my life trying to get this kittening joke of an op puzzle

I appreciate you too, Theta. Thank you! I don’t know that I’d ever be able to complete that one.

I do understand that, and perhaps the term “completionist” was incorrectly used…but I did want to share the knowlege that there won’t be any permanent deteriments to your account (such as an ugly empty achievement bar that will never be filled, or an empty slot that can never be filled) by not finishing this puzzle. That won’t apeal to everyone; If you want to finish the puzzle for the sake of finishing it, do it! I want to see you succeed! But if you’re like me and feel it’s not worth the frustration, understand that you’re not permanently locked out of anything by choosing not to participate. Perhaps the slippers, but you can emulate that with the craftable rune and some level 80 explorer’s gear with a reskin.

But there is a bar. It just won’t affect a second bar.
