Guild Wars 2

Okay firstly GAHH, secondly I’ve waited for the clock to smash and jumped at it 5 times and it’s not working!! Can somebody please tell me what I’m doing wrong?

If you know you have a high latency, you’ll need to jump 1 to 3 seconds early.

If at the start, where everyone has to wait for the gears to appear, if you notice a glitch in the animation, leave the instance, you’re out of sync with it. When this happens, all of the animations are lagged and may not even happen at all. Watch the green mist rise above the stairs to know when to jump.

Thanks for the input, I’ll give it a shot, unfortunately there are no oceanic servers so I have about 270 ping but I don’t notice it any where else in the game :/

Watch this:

You see you have to wait for the 2nd pass at the window, when it’s broken.

If you’re suffering from bad latency, then you’ll just have to make an educated guess as to how early you’ll jump. Unfortunately, Healix’s tip about jumping when the green mist reaches the stairs can’t trusted when you have bad lag because I’ve been in instances where I was half-submerged in the mist and I still wasn’t dying.

Watching the gears when they explode out of the tower is a good way to tell if you’re lagging or not though. If it jerks or stutters at all, you have lag. If it all flows out smoothly, you should be good.
