Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

I have had a problem with entering hidden areas ever since the April release.

It nearly always takes two tries to enter the hidden zone, be it a shop, a cave, or whatever. What this means is that i enter the doorway, the cutscene starts, then im back outside, i walk in again, cutscene starts, this time i’m in the hidden room.

Usually, this isn’t a problem, however, I am now doing tribulation mode, World 1, Zone 3, and trying to get the first shop.

If i went straight into the room it would be easy and i would be on my way to finishing it, but because I get ported back out after the entry cutscene, I die in the water, with no chance to try to get in again.

Anyone know whats going on here and how i can solve/get around this problem?

Seeing the “door entering” cutscene but not actually going in tends to happen pretty often if you get close enough to enter but not close enough to actually go through. But I expect that any latency issues can cause that to happen a lot more often.

Your trouble with that particular area, however, is shared by a lot of people — getting in to that door without dying is very difficult. The trick to getting in is that you don’t want to jump too high when going into the waterfall. I don’t think it’s the waterfall itself that kills you, but rather hitting either the water below you or the water above. So being too high when you enter the waterfall ends up with you clipping the upper area of poison water, which is instant death.

Since you can’t control jump height, the best way to not be too high when entering the waterfall is to jump from further back on the lilypad, or to not push forward until after you jump straight up. This is still rather tricky, so I wish you luck on pulling it off. (And I hope that in the next iteration of the SAB, they make entering this particular shop a bit more lenient.)

I finally managed to get in, i think i did it from skipping the lilypad entirely.

I then went on to finish the zone and as a result world 1 trib mode, yay. Except I missed the Moto’s Breath shop My latency issues just make lilypad jumping so unpredictable and difficult and I have no idea why I have such issues in here.

The issues only become apparent in jumping puzzles or, like most people, zergs, but in here it just seems so much worse. It doesn’t help that there are so many instant death traps to cause you trouble.

I just gave up on completing world 2-1 in trib because I had enough lag issues with normal mode, let alone with death traps.
