Guild Wars 2

Please Anet, please remove skills from the jumping puzzles.. It is so annoying to see portals all the time, or players giving swiftness in mid- air.

Just please remove skills from the jumping puzzles, if not.. well have fun i wont play them anymore.. well maybe in the middle of the night when nobody is here.

More frustration then fun with other players spamming their effects and skills.

EDIT: Sometimes the camera is just way too close..

Ow i guess im wrong, i was falling down because of swiftness alot and i thought… ok lets go in this portal.. guess what

Finished puzzle… right..

If they remove skills while in JP what would happen if there are mobs? We couldn’t just stand there and let them kill us, nor could we try to run away/ignore and finish the JP as we will be in combat and our running is reduced.

Maybe when they add more JP they could use this no skill mechanic, but with some (key word, some) of the JP we need skills to kill mobs (such as the ones in the chest rooms)

As for the camera being close, I’ve only had problems with norn and Asura. I don’t play charr. But even with human/sylvari I’ve seen sometimes the camera is cut inside the head of the character. Takes moving the angle of the camera to be able to see properly.

Then give us a wooden sword, and only press attack to kill the mobs, the whole portalling and swiftness trolls are annoying me.

This may be news to you, but not everyone is good at jumping puzzles. I have a Lv. 71 mesmer whose sole purpose is to help my less-than-enthused guildmates with them when need be. Taking away not only portals, but swiftness and other skills that help even the playing field would certainly “annoy” a lot more people, to put it mildly.

Well i cant be good in it, if i see 100 portals around me and ppl giving me swiftness

And seeing portals somehow affects your ability to do puzzles? Even if they did, they’re on a 90-second cooldown; nobody is exactly spamming them in your face.

When i have to jump on a small platform and that big portal is right in my face ( while the camera zooms in my face ) is irritating yes. Cant even look around normal with all these effects.

But this dungeon is perm right? Ill do it a month later then

OR, wait until people have had their fill. This JP is going to be around perminantly, so you can do it when there aren’t a ton of other people, just like every other JP.

Everyone always has to rush there right away then gets annoyed that everyone else did the same thing and “ruined” their fun. Chill and give it time.

I dont understand why skill affects are so annoying for you. Are they annoying in normal gameplay? Is someone literally harassing you with them when you are trying to do a jumping puzzle? Ill agree the random swiftness while im in the middle of making a difficult jump can definitely throw me off my game, however there are other parts of most puzzles that are a bit easier if you have a speed boost to help you along.

And as its been stated already many people suck at jumping puzzles. And where im a very strong believer in working for what you have it sure is nice to be able to get a hand to the end of the puzzle by a kind mesmer every once in a while rather than bashing my head against it for hours getting more and more frustrated to the point of not even wanting to ever go back to finish it.

I strongly feel that skills should not be removed when doing jumping puzzles.

So, you’re going to quit because other people use portals? Why can’t YOU just not use the portals? It’s not like anyone is forcing you to use them.

The reason people use swiftness is because certain classes do not have a 25% movement signet or equivalent skill. If I am on my guardian, I use my staff swiftness before some of the longer jumps because it makes them a lot easier. There are a few jumps in certain puzzles where movement boost is required to get across. The only way to solve this is to give every class a 25% movement signet. (which I support)

I agree with the OP, this portal-using is just cheating, not more, not less. People who port to the end do not deserve that achievement.

The Halloween JP had this skill-restriction and people were so proud to get to the end. It was one of the highest rated things people were proud of. They had to learn the freaking jumps.
