Guild Wars 2

I am nearly done with this zone, I just have one more vista to get, but its at the end of one of the most difficult jumping puzzles in the game. This JP is very long, every fall is guarenteed death, and theres a boss at the end. I am not a player who values jumping puzzles nor any game with rogue/ninja qualities (like assassins creed). So, to force every player of every gaming style to, on occasion, play aspects they dont like is somewhat acceptable, to force players like me to, if I want to get 100% world map completion, to do one of the hardest jumping puzzles (which I hate, if you havent figured that out yet) just to do this is really unfair to me as one of your players. I understand that this is a F2P game, and eventually I will spend IRL money here and there of stuff, but I really wish that you, Arenanet, would move this vista to an easier location for better obtainability.

That vista is the reason why Dredgehaunt Cliffs is the only map I haven’t completed at 100%. I tried multiples times already but I finally gave up, it’s not worth it.

Dredgehaunt is the worst zone. This is only the second worst vista in it though. The view from the top is actually pretty nice.

You could always try and find a mesmer to port you up.

Something like this should not require outside help to complete. As for the view, I honestly don’t really care. I don’t play this game to get a good view, if I want a good view, I’ll go to NYNY again and chill at the top of the Empire State Building. All I do at these vistas is hit F then immediately Esc 90% of the time. anet should really move that vista or just auto-complete it for everyone and if anyone really cares about fake views in a video game, they can do the hardest jumping puzzle and eventually get it.

i know the one you are on about and once you complete it once it is re4ally easy. Saying that it took me 3 days of trying to complete it but i got there, Since then took a second char through and did it forst time as i knew what was required.

You seem upset about this. It’s really not that hard. I am terrible at jumping and I did it in like 20 minutes. If you think this is the hardest jumping puzzle in the game you haven’t explored very much.

I LOVED that zone and adored that jump puzzle. =D would love to help you with it if you’d like. will be on most evening from 4pm cst onward.

Sorry chap but game designers decided that if you want to get 100% completion then you have to solve this puzzle. It is neccesary to attach tangible rewards to certain activities in the game otherwise people like you wouldn’t do them at all.

If you find the reward not good enough for the task you have to go through then simply dont do that activity. However if you still insist on holding up such attitude I would suggest you to change it because nobody is going to reward you for something you dont want to do. That’s not how this game work.

Alright then, until anet makes either the puzzle less lethal or moves the vista, I guess im not going to get 100%

Is this the only vista you don’t have? This jumping puzzle is way easier than the Vizier’s Tower in Straits of Devastation., which happens to have a skill point, vista, chest and boss at the top.

ANet will almost definitely not move this vista based on one person’s disappointment. If you really want to go for it, find a video on YouTube explaining the route and then just take it slow.

There are a couple of good tutorial videos on youtube for this one. I tried it for about an hour, got thoroughly frustrated, then looked it up on youtube. After watching just one of the videos I was able to complete the jumping puzzle in about 30 minutes (I fell a couple of times because my timing sucks). But the puzzle is certainly doable, even with a Norn.

It took me two attempts. I then spent about half an hour helping some other people get up. Once they got the hang of things they were off to the top like rockets. It really isn’t that hard and no the game shouldn’t get dumbed down just because a few people get stuck at a “difficult” part of the game.

The view from the top is worth the difficulty in my opinion.
