Note: This video was sent to Arenanet for their use to fix. This has now been fixed since the update on Friday December 14th and is now here for your entertainment and to show off something we found fun.

and by tactics you mean exploiting

This is what most people would call “exploiting”. Posting something like this is akin to begging the devs to patch it.

Why did you post this? now they are going to take longer to fix dc issue because they have to patch this :/

Very nice though, I’m sure not everyone could pull this off.

Already has been patched.

Awesome, I always find playing WITH the game a lot more exciting than just playing the game.

Not the brigthest idea to show it though.

amazing to see how creative the community can be

awesome video man! thumbs up

Afaik it was patched now.

It was reported a total of 2 times in bug reports section of the forum, 2 times through emails, and 2 times through in-game bug reports within a week of finding it (2 months ago).

Arena Net didn’t give a crap about it back then so we just gave up in trying to report it.

Yup. As Gab said, this was discovered and reported various times at the end of October, and it was not until mid December it was fixed lol.

Interesting… Always good when they finally fix it so you can post video without feeling like you’re gonna get banned :P Like CoF… Now next step, go claim a record :P!

It looks like this took a lot of planning and skill to accomplish. Maybe ANet should consider leaving some of these extreme jump paths around and litter some champion/boss mobs along the way. Make it so there are many different ways of getting to the boss hidden in the map.

Lol ye not happening, people would just run by because it’d be more trash mobs

Very clever use of otherwise omitted tools up until recently. Gz.

Thanks everyone, glad you find it interesting.

But power, idk if this would really be considered record worthy :P It is probably the fastest time this dungeon path has been and will of been completed, but I would not say it is legit enough to be considered a worthy record!

All-time path 3?

If we ever develop an intentional jump puzzle workaround, we’ll certainly leave it in.

this sounds like an interesting idea
kill some trash mobs, or perform a jumping puzzle that both lead to the next boss/part of the dungeon.

They have a jumping puzzle in AC that’s unfinished… no idea what it’s for or if it’s something like this? Should be interesting though

I can’t view the video. Says it’s private.

Ye, I have taken it down for specific reasons for now. It may go public again soon.

Yeah, when they actually fix it.

Dont worry, they will.
