Guild Wars 2

“Spin flowers have been changed so that they will only launch players to a pre-determined location.”

Please no. Some of them you have to take a different direction to get to secrets/shortcuts/friendly poultry.

I’m sure they considered those things.

I can’t get to the shortcut eagle using the spin flower anymore. Tried 3 times just now.

You shouldn’t need the spin flower to get to the shortcut eagle.

Any1 try the cave in the waterfall right after the raft?

That one works. Flower after the crocodile sends you to the middle. Lower flower sends you into the waterfall.

already did.
you can jump to the normal path without the spin flower. The spin flower is a bit more hidden and leads to the secret place.

Makes it a little silly for it to even be hidden tho now, if you touch the flower you found it.

Uh I know I did, tried to dodge jump to it and couldn’t get far enough, flower jump works everytime though…

And what about a certain hole in the wall in W2Z? There’s no way to get into there without the flower but you need the flower to continue…

You can use a normal jump, it’s no harder than the jump with 3 baubles in w1z1

Normal jump? I only ever dodge jump those 3. Even if all those things can be reached still, the flowers weren’t something I saw complaints about and this nerf ruined their ability to be used to random explore.

I just checked.
A doormat was added so you can get to the hole.
screenshot included.

Hmm the jump to shortcut eagle is much harder now. I couldn’t get to the cloud via a normal jump, had to use a dodge jump

:O HI DULFY

Unrelated change but the start of trib 1-1 was changed so you can’t just hug the wall on the far right to climb onto the faces.

Thats actually slower than just getting the balloon and jumping over like normal.

Not the shortcut eagle!!

I can’t seem to reach the chest right before the final boss of 2-1. Seems like you need that flower there. Last chest I need for Associate of Baubles I hope there’s another way to get there. EDIT: Made it by jumping quickly across logs so I was high enough by the time I got there to get into chest room.

Honestly I think the flowers were the only unnecessary change. None of them were buggy to my knowledge, and to use some of them in different ways it required some creative thinking. I would have preferred they stayed the same.

I suck at those, which is why I brought it up. Just got the bauble achievement for zone 2 though. Backtracking is a pain, since falling/dying anywhere on your way back to the eagle, or during the eagle ride, means you get thrown to your last checkpoint… and have to backtrack the whole level yet again.

The chest behind the waterfall with 50 baubles in it?
there is another entrance into that cave.

That’s a jump you should easily be able to make if you use the pictures in Dulfy’s guide.

That rock she jumped on has been removed, now only a tiny piece of it remains against the wall. There is another way in, but Dulfy’s guide is not it.

Then I think you can ride the last log all the way to the bottom of the waterfall, while running against the waterfal (if that makes any sense). Then it’s a series of jumpy shrooms guarded by bears that will get you all the way up top.

Oh THAT cave? That’s the only way I ever bothered to get into there lol

You can still make the jump, it is a bit harder now. The little stub is enough to land on it. You just have to turn a bit left when you jump (i.e. change direction when you jump so you land on that little stub

See example: http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/gw2-associate-of-baubles-world-2-achievement-guide-64.jpg

Remember you are carrying the key for that chest so anything risky could cause you to lose the key if you die in the waterfall.

On a sidenote, Dulfy, I know you’re busy with all the new content but would it be possible to eventually add a guide for all the assassin locations in W2Z2 as well? I’ve run through that zone about 10 times now and I’d love to never go back there again after I finally get that achievement.

Yup I was making it before getting interrupted by the new patch etc. They changed a bunch of stuff in w2z2 so i had to redo it. arrgh

Gotcha thanks

Flowers were probably fine….as long as you had room to maneuver around it. Instead of making the flowers always just go to one place, the platforms around the flowers could be made larger, and the landing areas larger as well.

Though I can see where some lag might have made them act unpredictably and make them harder.

this is super lame! now everyone will know where it is with that doorstop.

do you mean that hole in the wall in zone 2?
It was extremely obvious without it anyway, so I don’t see much of a difference.

Yeah, as if we had to go through some crazy jumps and use a bomb on some obscure wall behind a waterfall.

It was a gaping hole in the wall. On your way to the next checkpoint.
