I understand you are excited about the fact you added jumping to your sequel, but for the love of God can you get over it already?!?!?!?

Well we do also have a snowball fight game, a music game, and a whole bunch of other stuff coming. I would hardly say that we’re “stuck on it.”

Shouldn’t reply to bitter trolls who don’t know how to do jumping puzzles. I think the whole event is off to a great start. Everything available to us is incredibly fun!

The jumping puzzle really is bad, the snowflakes deteriorate quicker then I can possibly move on my warrior without any haste boons active.

At least I was expecting this to be a failure and didn’t have my hopes up

As for the “troll” comment, I really wish ANet would do a better job with this game, it is a shame how they are letting it go down hill so fast.

I find it far from conceivable to be able to knowingly blame this player’s opinion on a presumed lack of skill at jumping.

This latest puzzle isn’t all that hard I think (that’s my opinion), but I can’t do it because the particle effects from the snow slow me down too much and making jumping precisely and quickly too difficult of a task. If I had the time to do the puzzle? Yeah, I’d get it done, with patience. But as it’s designed, I can’t do it regardless of my personal skill level or amount of discipline.

It is one part of an entire event. Right now, we are just tasting the frosting. We haven’t even got the whole cake yet. We have many events coming in the next few days, along with a big finale and such.

It is one jumping puzzle. Honestly, I’m glad they add it. As much as I dislike them, I know others who thoroughly enjoy them. Anet is catering to those individuals by giving them something they enjoy, while the rest of us still have an entire event to play with. From PvP, Bell Hero, Achievements, Collecting (minis, skins, etc), Jumping Puzzles, and soon to come events, we will all have something we enjoy doing.

Just enjoy the other aspects of the holiday if you aren’t fond of one.

But here you are saying reasons why you can’t or won’t. He just doesn’t like jumping puzzles for the simple fact of he thinks that ArenaNet is trying too hard and going overboard with the jump feature that was absent from GW1. He’s doing nothing but flaming – offering no constructive feedback or alternative. Just whining.

They don’t NEED to put in Jumping puzzles, but they are fun little additions and give you something to do so honestly I’m all for them and actually really like them.

Hold down the right mouse button and move with that. You should be able to do it easily if you do that.

Who said I didn’t know how to do it? I liked platformers when that was all there was to choose from on my 8 bit system.

I do appreciate the response of a mod without an infraction.

People keep claiming they don’t have time so I assumed they weren’t. I have yet to see a snowflake disappear. You just have to keep moving.

I think he’s just tired of Anet adding in things that not everyone may be able to complete. I know I would love to be able to say I had completed this puzzle, or better yet the one from Halloween. But it’s not one that everyone can complete for reasons that I stated, and neither was the Clocktower.

Admittedly it would be nicer if the snowflakes didn’t dissolve. You could still make it as challenging and less of a rush to get it done by someone else’s (game designer’s) will.

It helps clear out stragglers otherwise the wait time would be very long.

EDIT: On second thought, probably incorrect since I get there with not much life yet so it wouldn’t matter. I guess it just adds to the challenge.

Why have a wait at all? Is there a wait at Morgan’s Spiral? It’s one of the more challenging JP’s around and I don’t see people waiting to go every 3mins or however long it is. Yes it’s a special event, yes there’s gonna be countless hordes trying to complete the activity… but why have an instanced area with a time wait (even though there’s 3 start platforms) if you have that instance to play in?

Doesn’t make a whole heap of sense to me; yes we’re almost always on the overflow servers (and just yesterday people were complaining to the contrary about this for FotM) but surely not everyone is going to be on that event at one time. If you have problems moving around, also turn post-processing off.

Same here.. I didn’t even know they disappeared. I knew the gifts on the “mountain-o-presents” disappeared after a while, but not the snowflakes.

You don’t seem to have learned the fundamental lesson from the Clock Tower, though:

Make the jumping puzzle solo, make other players invisible, or at least render them with a different (small) model so they don’t block our view of our own character or the platforms we’re aiming for.

Or does someone at Arena Net enjoy the notion of having everyone shout “fat norn, stop blocking my view” for two more weeks?

They split the puzzle up so you’re running with significantly less people. I find the public puzzles fun. This is nothing like the Halloween clock tower so don’t even try to compare. That was outrageously challenging and fun (and rewarding to finish).

If you can’t complete it, try harder or just avoid them at all. Really – they are not crucial components for success in the game so if you can’t complete them move on or try harder.

Not to mention this puzzle has no tight areas where the other people actually block your screen anyway.

You do realize that your toon is always in the center of the screen so it really doesn’t matter if someone is on top of you.

Don’t assume that when someone notices and points out bad design that has something to do with their ability, or lack thereof.

Doing the puzzle while having people shout at me because I’m playing with a norn, (and am blocking their view) does not increase my enjoyment. And it would be easily avoidable by applying any of the solutions above.

Nor do I enjoy doing the puzzle as an asura and not being able to see my own character for half the time. Again, easily solvable by any of the methods described above.

No one said it was impossible. This about avoiding totally unnecessary conflict between players, that only exists due to bad design.

Well the Fractals were added content and we see how well that went.

A lot of patches that destroyed the future of certain MMOs had “content”
