Guild Wars 2

So I got up to the cloud layer of the hub, and was able to get the flag to the left of the entrance, but I can’t seem to figure out something with the canons. They seem to launch you automatically, and I can’t seem to stop once in motion, so the one that launches me towards the flag north of the entrance causes me to overshoot and fly off the map. Is there any way to cancel while in midflight, or re-aim the canons, or something like that? Or is it just broken for the time being? Has anyone managed to get all three(?) flags, and if so, do you get anything for that?

Aiming is done my your position in the cannon. The closer you are to the bottom lip the farther you fly.

Also, there are four flags, and your only reward is fireworks and dancing.

How do you position in the cannon? I just drop into the barrel from above and instantly fire out.

when in air, you can move forward/back/left/right, same as any falling. if you know where it goes with no movement, you can correct for it. or if you can determine the trajectory and compensate. it’s possible to get hole-in-ones.
