I am ava and i had my home in far shiverpeaks eu. I always had problem on jp, always. I always maledicting me for not be able to complete it. Especially the clocktower, which i put 6 hours (yeah, 6) of work and i havn’t been able to get to to the end. I was frustrated, i managed to get all in this game, but not this. I wrote this just to let you know how bad i am. Then yesterday, i decide to do the wintersday. Armed with patience, i begin. Once, twice, thrice…until from evening it comes morning. I put 9 hours of my life on this and i cannot been able to get to present. I feel little and dumb. I found a group of people with me, one was a sylvari who has an incredible skill, everytime she begin she got to the end. And another guy a human, was like me but passing time e managed to get it, step by step. They encourage me and give me strength, but at 6am in the morning i quit and go to sleep. I love jp, programmers have done the greatest of work, i have till now the wallpaper of the clocktower on my desktop. Problem is mine, i have no such skill. BUT, i am aries, i am sturdy. In morning i decided to try, again with my asura and again i fail. Till someone, talking in chat, said" try to lower resolution on screen, it helps!". Then, i put all the specs of game to minimum, change to lowest resolution, disable tap to evade, and get the sensitivity of the mouse to maximum. MY WORLD HAS OPEN. I understand that many of my fail was due to the little impercettible lag that happen when i jump, to the point that before, i was getting only to the snowflakes, when i put changes, i come to present and to snowball. all get fluid, i can change visual in a sec, and run faster than ever. MAYBE I DISCOVER HOT WATER, maybe you all just know, but i want to write it so anyone like me who lose 12 hours of sleep and didn’t know can somehow manage. SO, i put kind of blue of miles davis on stereo, leave open mind and then, in 5 try i get it. You cannot understand my joy. THANK YOU ANET, this jp is beautiful,aestetically and practically, you did well also to make 3 paths, so one can use and put much effort on the one he find most confortable in, and people don’t ammass themselfs on the beginning like in the tower. Thank for make it difficult but not as the tower, so it’s challenging but possible for everibody (BELIEVE ME, IF I HAVE MADE IT ALL OF YOU CAN!!!)…and thanks also for let us see others when they do it, so we can understand what to do even in wait. Great work. Stop compleain about jp or programmers like i see in other post, i never did, even after 9 hours of my sleep lost. Fault was mine and of my pc, who not support high resolution completely. Use the hint i use, free mind, low resolution to minimum, listen to your favourite music, disable tap to evade, put sensitivity of mouse at max and keep try, you get it!!!
Ps: i never use mouse sensitivity, nor mouse. I made every jp in game only with asdw and space, i didn’t think that mouse help you it distract you from jump. BUT IS MY AND ONLY MY attitude you don’t have to if you find confortable with mouse looking.
