Guild Wars 2

This topic is something that has been bugging me and i think i am going to get flagged or better yet people are going to say get better so i might as well say it now. I would love to see the Jumping puzzle for EB become a place where you cant get attacked by other people, i know its a wimp idea and people aren’t going to think too fondly of it but the truth is everyday i log in to try to do the jumping puzzle i am greeted by a ****en camping server guild and all they do is show up and make the puzzle a living hell for anyone who tries it i know its wvw but come on dont these people have anything better to do all i am asking and hopefully it happens in the near future is that the EternalBattle grounds jumping puzzle become a bit more open to others instead of it becoming a camping fest. But like i said i am maybe going to get flagged or trolled but i thought i would suggest it

I understand exactly where you are coming from. Here’s a suggestion: did you know you can party up with people from other servers? Just target them, open the party menu, and hit “join.” Most of the time (at least in my experience) you can request peaceful passage and they let you through.

As a side note, it would be nice if there was a way to opt out of PvP combat while in the Obsidian Sanctum. Then again, I guess that’s what the fountains are for. However, they don’t do much good if the campers are right at the entrance…

If they make it a non-PvP zone, badges of honer need to be removed from the chest.

No PvP, no badges.

I like to launch people into the abyss with my hammer, don’t take this away from me.

This. I’m a PvP wimp myself, but I realize that to use the JP as an easy way to get badges, the risk of someone beating the snot out of you needs to exist.

Try hitting the JP during non-peak hours. Sometimes if you run into a lone camper you might be able to get by or try joining their party as someone else suggested. I usually just do a /wave and if they return, I assume it’s safe. Never been “lied” to in that sense. Generally if it’s a large group, you’re screwed no matter what you do if you’re on your own.

You do know the Jumping Puzzle is in a WvWvW system right….?
Killing players and zerging stuff is what WvWvW is all about (for now anyways).

It sucks that you can’t do the JP whenever you would like, but that is the same for the other 3 Jumping Puzzles. You have to learn to work the system… It’s sort of a baptism by fire.

1) Get a group to hold em off while you run.
2) Make a new character that is stealthy or very tanky to make it through for EB
3) Suck it up and fight your way through
4) Wait for them to get bored and go home.

If you are in dire need of badges, you can get them a lot faster with out having to touch EB.

1) Join zergs, toss on some MF gear and start slaying away, make sure to hit every guild claimer & lords for a quick 2 badges guaranteed.

2) Create multiple characters and run t…h…e…(anet fix your kitten censor system) 3. b…order…….land(anet fix your kitten censor system) puzzles over and over again

I’m by no means a hardcore WvWvW player; however, I am able to acquire 250-300 badges out of 4-5 hours of farming with out touching a JP. Only using about 30-40% mf. Mostly just joining zergs and jumping at every opportunity to take smc, you will be amazed how many badges you can farm off a successful or failed attempt to take SMC.

I did ask them for safe passage but like always theres always that one mesmer who will screw things up look all i know if servers are going to camp it just get rid of it get rid of the puzzle and replace it with something else i just tried to do the puzzle i asked to pass and i got greeted by a mesmer and it just went downhill from there
