Guild Wars 2

I did the tower before the patches yesterday without a hitch. Twice today I have successfully reached the last room, only to be teleported back to the start when the puzzle resets for the others who didn’t make it.

EDIT: I’m not saying I jumped and then it loaded me back at the beginning, I’m saying, I jumped, it loaded me in the room with the chest and the mad king door, then it ported me back to the start from that room.

I did this 3 times just now and its fine, once I even screwed the timing and the clock face was over 80% gone to the right side and i still got in, I think the problem is most likely people needing to jump farther ahead from the ledge than where they actually do currently, some puzzles have places where this is a issue and i wouldn’t be surprised if it was so here aswell..

I understand problems may arise but I just need to point out that its hard to believe when I never failed that jump, I have fallen everywhere possible in the tower but never there

you’re talking nonsense.

I’ve done it 30 times no problem, now it seems to be blocked all of a sudden.

Just got in to the room a third time, reset me back to the beginning before I could even grab the chest. And I’m not saying, i jumped and it reset, the room inside the clocktower loaded, then I was teleported.

I noticed this too, and did some tests.

From my understanding, you need to jump towards the clock face as it is spinning towards you (so, aim at the right side of the face). This has always gotten me in. You may need to jump a little higher than usual also.

I’m not talking nonsense, I’m completing it as is, unless you suggest certain servers are bugged, didnt have a problem doing it yesterday, not having a problem today either

Fourth times a charm apparently, got in to the room and it didn’t reset on me. This must be some kind of timing glitch, and should be looked at. Didn’t do a thing differently than the other three times.

Then certain servers are obviously bugged. No one is “missing” people are literally bouncing off the broken class and falling, or are getting kicked out of the chest room.

I’ve made it to the top of the clock tower twice. The first time was after FOURTEEN straight hours of attempting it. I jumped through the broken clock face, only to be returned to the start with no achievement, and no opportunity to open a chest. The second time was considerably shorter than the first, though no less disappointing, as I was once again returned to the entrance with no achievement, and no opportunity to gain a reward.

This jumping puzzle is clearly broken. I keep bouncing off invisible objects, falling through solid flooring, randomly slowing down in mid-air and being kicked out of the challenge randomly despite otherwise optimal performances.

I had the same problem. I spent the last 3 to 4 hours trying to do this puzzle. I did it the first time an hour ago, and I thought maybe I missed timed the jump when it ported me back to the beginning.

Second time which I just finished, I jumped through at the right time and I got ported back to the beginning. This is glitched and I am beyond frustrated at this puzzle. I hope they fix this and credit those that should have made it. I don’t know how they would be able to tell, but I don’t have any real desire to try this again. And I’m only doing this because of the achievement. I don’t even care about the rewards.

11th time i bounced off the tower – and didnt get ported in….
its my 6th char i make it with

ok made it on ly 14th try …. no clue what have change – at last i jumped as i did before imho

Same problem, getting ported back to spawn right after I enter the clock tower.

Sucks.

Yep, same thing here. There’s a different thread about it already. I have some 15+ attempts here but I’m always sliding off the face.

I did it today around 1 PM EST on an alt without any glitches.

Ok, after three more tries, I finally got in. I think I was too stubborn to quit. There must be a small window of time to make the jump and latency could be an issue, even though I don’t have latency problems anywhere else.

I had another 3 attemps just now but still no luck. I’ve tried it on two connections. One is usually faster but less stable. The other much more stable but a bit slower. Neither let me into the tower.

I had a similar problem, but at the start. I’d start running, get halfway up the first section where you can’t really fall and be running up a section of stairs then suddenly it’d dump me back in the lobby.

(This was in between times when I couldn’t even start because I’d just see everyone getting dropped into water repeatedly then end up in the lobby again.)

Then one time it just stopped happening, for no apparent reason, and it’s been fine since then.

I’ve seen a few people reporting similar issues with the puzzle so I guess there’s some sort of problem with it but I’m not sure what exactly. Except that it doesn’t always happen, even on the same server.
