Asuran
Engineer
No Boost
x2 in a row.
Human Ranger, level 62.
No Boosts.
Completed once but that was the goal! Actually took me awhile to work out I had to drop down to another level to continue climbing
Great fun!
Proud Sylvari Ranger .. done it in 2 hours ! and 3 times in 6 tries after)
its actually pretty easy after the first sucessful completion :P
Yes! Finally!!
Norn
Guardian
No Boost
Great puzzle, very very fustrating, but very enjoyable, and met some nice new people.
Xarinn, Charr Warrior, No Speed Boosts.
Loved it and hated it all at the same time. Glad I got my Boots though. =D
Sanctum of Rall
“Quaggan’s a piwate! Yarr!” – “Pirate”
Charr
Engineer
No Buffs, I tried the sugar rush once and failed immensely on the crash.
Took some good time and was filled with Rage, especially from others at my Charr being so big, but most of the time I was the only one to make it to the steep cog anyway.
I also had the joy of being in overflow and it telling me I could join the main view while I was trying to navigate after the leap of faith.
Pic for Proof:
Shortest human necromancer, no boosts.
Shortest ASURA elementalist, although using One With Air.
Human Mesmer
Just completed 4x in an hour without buffs.
Running the puzzle with a group can be frustrating, BUT it was great to commiserate as a group!!
It’s definitely tricky – but honestly after completing it the first time, the next 3 were a lot easier.
(edited by Moderator)
Twice
Both Asuras, mesmer and thief. No speed bonus
i completed the puzzle over 200 times farming trick or treat bags…. it was one of the funnest events ive had in any game
Elementalist 27lvl Asura
Been jumping since yesterday and just now i managed to complete it.
Best fun I had in this game since I started playing.
Edit: No speed buffs
yay!!! after a lot of tries, finally did, once for myself, once for my brother.
Norn Ranger
Sylvari Necromancer
No speed boosts
Human
Guardian
None
Beat it last night!! I plan on going back tonight and playing on it some more…so much FUN!
After 2 hours I completed it:)
Human.
Thief .
went back to it this afternoon
Having done it with a norn, I wanted to also do it with an asura and try to see it from the perspective of my fellow players who have been posting about how awful being small in the group is.
I did it in a handful of tries.
Asura elementalist, smallest size, no speed boosts
2 times completed, warrior Charr:)
Sylvari
Guardian
Spent a good hour or two raging at this damndable tower :p
Sylvari
Engineer
I can only hope that next time A-net decide to not have use all doing it at once so the people who aren’t a massive Norn can actually see their character. I feel bad for any Asura.
Norn Male / Ranger, mediocre sized. Doing jumping puzzles with a Male Norn is so hard because they feel so clunky when jumping.
Sylvari Ele!
Done it w/o anny speed boosts!
Asura
Engi
No boosts
Took about 2 hours to more or less.
[TRY][POV]
“Kitten the yaks, so persistent about everything.” -Ebay
Sylvari
Thief
Level 80
No boosts
Keep a good attitude and keep trying!
YAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS
SYLVARI
RANGER
80
no boosts
then
did it on my gfs char:
Human
Mesmer
Level 80
Never boosts
SECOND HALF IS A BREEZE. if you get that far dont freak out, I made it the FIRST time I landed the leap of faith, so keep trying!
Edit: about 1h30 for ranger, then on mesmer 30mins
Norn Necro no speed and it was pretty easy tbh. The only difficulty is the kitten decision of allowing many people in.
100% World completion.
Asura
Mesmer
No boosts
~5 hours
Asura on patrol in defense of Gandara and Bessie!
Administrator of http://thisisgandara.com
Human, no boosts.
Definitely the hardest part of the puzzle was not verbally abusing the FOUR kittening NAKED Norn in the same instance. Couldn’t do it for hours on that attempt, logged on again after a while to find a more reasonable party, finished the puzzle on the second try while at it.
Second prize goes to someone at ANet for not studying the theory of player collision volume allocation, thus making the jumping itself extremely counter-intuitive and relying more on muscle memory than coordination and wit.
Could be fun. But isn’t.
80 Norn Ranger
And I’m not gonna lie…. 4 hours of going f’ing ‘mad’ to do it.
Never thought I’d have to GRIND a jump puzzle…
Completed. Human war, and others.
0% speed boosts (boosts actually messed me up, which was why I managed it on the war first).
Took me an hour and a half, grinning from ear to ear the whole time.
Asura
Thief
25% Passive Speed Boost (except it wouldn’t be active anyways since the clock tower disables all your skills…)
Chocodile – Asuran Engineer
Chocodial – Asuran Thief
Charr Warrior
Human Thief
Asura Engineer
Did it a couple of times for each character. No speed boosts personally used. Rather funny to see people who use their speed boosts and just run straight off a platform.
The way I do the puzzles is to focus on the center of my screen rather than looking where my character is.
(edited by Valca.1234)
I did it. Asura.
After several hours though. I completely agree that it’s very hard, and that having other characters really makes it obnoxiously hard, especially when there are lots of Charr/Norn on the screen. That’s my only gripe really. The challenge level is just right…. but the other players just make it completely rediculous.
Dominated it. Dont it about 20 times now. http://beta.xfire.com/video/5bc735
its hard as a charr to do it on other races when you are used to the 4 paws jumping charr.
Asura ranger
10% passive speed
Human ele
10% passive speed (air attuned)
Charr warrior
none
Level: 80
Race: Charr
Profession: Warrior
Speedboosts: None
Super fun event once you get the hang of the first 1/4 of it
Dominated it. Dont it about 20 times now. http://beta.xfire.com/video/5bc735
Now do it where you also get the ToT bags from the two chests in the jumping puzzle. Almost impossible I tell ya. XD
FINALLY BEAT IT! So happy! My heart was pounding for a good 10 minutes haha!
Asura Engineer, level 80.
2+ hours of trying, finally beat it.
Asura
Thief
No boosts
SHORTEST build.
Human
Thief
NONE.
I beat it on a human ranger, after two hours of trying…
First time I made it to the top, I jumped at the clock face too soon without knowing you had to wait ’till the last second for it to break, and fell to my death.
AT
THE
VERY
TOP!
Human
Thief

Only took one-two hours. It seemed like there was also a bit of Charr hate going on.
Asura level 80 engineer, no speed boost. Done 5 times now
Asura level 19 mesmer, no speed boost. Done 2 times now
Sylvari level 7 ranger, no speed boost. Done 3 times now

Took me 3 hours and wanted to just give up so many times, but seriously I felt so good after finally making it!
To whoever made/came up with this, a HUGE thumbs up!

Norn Warrior, no boosts that I felt.
It took awhile— more like a few hours, but after getting stuck at that double-highbeam for too long, I was like “Oh! I got this!” and jumped.

Done it again on my first attempt today, it really is easy enough when you get the hang of it.
Gandara
Human – Thief
Human – Ele
Norn – War
