What is this about?
So the thing is that these goggles are a pain…the whole puzzle is very unforgiving, but the last bits are even more, you make a mistake, you die a horrible death flattening out like a pancake. So if you tried it and failed, or have not even tried yet but curious, or did it but want to help others come around Saturday, 24.08 at 7pm GMT+1.
Where is it?
‘Not So Secret is a jumping puzzle in Gendarran Fields with two routes. The first leads to the Not So Secret achievement and the other to a pair of Diving Goggles.’
Details on the wiki: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Not_So_Secret
What is planned?
There are two achievements here, the jumping puzzle (get the shiny chest) and the diving goggles, (hit the water*) needed to complete Dive Master. We will have a mesmer at your convenience at the chest for the first one and then a portal chain up to the goggles (bit more painful) so you only need to get into the retreat where the ship is (it isn’t trivial but shouldn’t be too bad, we can also guide you with that!) and from there just portal them up.
Now the tricky bit is that the dive itself isn’t as simple as you would think. There are several pipes on the way and while falling you need to avoid them, so people tend to die before they get the achievement. Hopefully with the portals you can try to hit that patch of water as many times as you have patience for!
(+info as per previous questions: The event is totally free, no financial contribution is required:)
How long does it take?
It can take 2 minutes and one try, it can take 2 hours and 50, it depends on your skill and luck. We are going to be there to help you for two hours (from 7 until 9pm GMT+1).
What do you need to do?
You need to log on/guest onto Gunnar’s Hold (EU!!!) server on the day, zone to Gendarran Fields (Broadhollow Waypoint) and run towards the Second Aetherblade Site point of interest (see the map on the linked wiki article). Our guides should show you how to get in, then run to the tag (we will use /m to communicate so better keep your red chat ticked in!) and wait for the portal. Then get into your swimwear, dive and hope for the best:)
So if you miss any of those or need your No One Left Behind (‘Revive 1,000 players’) achievement or simply just int he mood to see masses of people jumping off a platform and die miserably while their scattered bodies lie around, this is your opportunity!
If you got questions or something isn’t clear whisper/mail Eili.2186 in the game or here for more information!
PS: Jumping puzzles are a pain when there is a mob trying to hop around so please take note: if you want to jump your way through please be so kind to choose another time as this event is about getting the achievements with the least pain possible.
*You need to hit the water while still wearing the goggles and your undies. This means you can’t bump into anything on the way down, because it results in you losing the goggles and getting your armour back on.
