Guild Wars 2

I am seeing an increasing use of the ‘short cut’ at the end., of Sanctum Sprint, and cant help wondering is it legit or an exploit.

In my case, earlier, I was first past the finish line, first to the chest, but because someone used the ‘short cut’ they were placed first, even though, they arrived at the chest several seconds after me.

So if a dev happens to read this, I would love a definitive response. If it is legit, I will be using it from now on!

Pretty vague on what the short cut is…If you’re talking about the boost up the cliff at the very end, I think it’s legit. People have been doing that since the beginning.

Yes, the cliff at the end is to what I am referring to. And yes I do know they have been using it since the beginning, but as there has been no official response since sanctum sprint began, I want to know where I would stand doing it. Its no good after the fact having an account suspended for breach of the EULA for using an exploit, and just because others use it on a regular basis is no defense, hence, the question.
I am not criticizing its use, if it is a legitimate path great, but it would be nice to know where we stand, rather than be left in a limbo where no-one knows where we are.

Is this some kind of new dungeon?!

Lol why is this in the dungeon forum.

I once fought a guy in the WvW JP who:

1) Tried to attack me and a friend at the top of the well and lost. Despite being crippled and chilled for a good 20 seconds or so, ran to the bottom of the steps faster than we could with swiftness then leaped off the cliff onto the ground below and took no damage.

2) Somehow caught up to us in like a minute at the dark room, tried to attack us again, this time got spiked down before he could run away and died. WP’d away.

3) Somehow got to the beast room right behind us about a minute later. Teleported around the arena, including to the top where the chain is.

4) When I added him to the party to ask wtf he was doing, he claimed he was just “really good” at running the JP. I challenged him to a legit race and outran him without swiftness. He got to the first jump before the well and immediately fell.

I reported his kitten . Either way Anet definitely has bigger fish to ban than people jumping up a cliff to save 3 seconds on a minigame. I think people hack in WvW because they think they are anonymous. It is a bit hard to report someone if he suddenly teleports away mid-fight.

Was not a mistake on my part putting it here, as this is the closest anyone can put discussions on Daily Activity’s, but thank you for pointing out the elephant in the room.

Guanglai Kangyi, your rite! ^-^

Wouldn’t Guild Wars 2 discussion have been a better forum, since this falls into the category of general Guild Wars 2 topics?

WHY ELSE would they even put that Jumping Boost there in the first place when the entire last 100ft around the other side is completely flat and there’s nothing else to even use that Boost for? (besides hopping up the back side to the finish line)

you have to be practically neck and neck at the end for it to even matter and if you did the entire race before that perfectly then there isn’t going to be anyone within 200ft of you.

But hey if it’s too easy, Anet could always spawn like 100 extra spiders when you go up that way… they’re good at that.
