Guild Wars 2

Fix the False River Valley Vista.

Seriously, of all the map completion I’ve done to date, nothing has been this rage inducing. And the fact that you do not allow us a first person view for better depth perception and view of the terrain, is just ludicrous.

A picture included after 45 minutes of beating my face against the brick wall that is this vista!

I admit it’s rather tough nee impossible for anyone with sub par coordination for jumps (like me).

I could blame the fact that I’m a Norn, but that’s just a lame excuse. It’s not even about poor coordination, or depth perception. It’s that the grade is to kitten steep.

It seemed easy enough to me, given a few slips on that tricky part from the skinny gear up to the hilt gear. The final part does require care so as not to simply slip off the side. One must steer midair and keep moving forward mid jump.

Glad I could help the others around you, though.

Anet needs to fix randomness between ‘slippery’ and walk-able terrain in general. For a game with jumping puzzles, I am puzzled by how arbitrary some of the surfaces in the game are. Too much wall humping, not enough puzzling.

Took me about ten mins to do. Very tricky.

But here is the weird thing. I already had it done on my character, which had previously had 100% world completion before that was there O-O (unless the gray cells are slipping again) Anyway—-saw this post and had to give it a go.

Just did it myself. At least one of the vids on YouTube shows a way that I don’t think is valid anymore. Fortunately their was a pair of Asura that showed me the way to get on the hilt from a different direction. Then it’s just hopping up the grip to the pommel.

I just run up the front of it and hop to the sword it takes about 10 mins. If you try the back way it takes a very long time to reach the vista.

I tried jumping to the gears from the underside, that didn’t work, didn’t even get close to working. I had to do it from the slope of the blade, and jump to the hilt. RP walked up the handle, to avoid slipping. But still it takes WAY to much work for this one vista, and then there’s this one.

I had to find a back way, because the path I watched other people take was not working at all for me.

Not sure what you are complaning about, this was ridiculously easy.

It took some time to figure out, maybe 5 min. Not so much broken as tricky.

It took me like 20 seconds from the bottom to the top…

I had it in under a minute first try on my human thief. Tested it on my male norn engineer, nailed it. My asura mesmer fell a few times, partly due to my tendency to steer around people standing on things despite the lack of need to do so. If anyone is having real issues and I’m in game, give me a hail, I left my mesmer there. As long as I’m not in RP or a dungeon, I’ll be happy to swing over and give you a portal.

For those that already have it without climbing the marionette body, that’s because during the marionette fight the vista was up on one of the walls dividing the lanes. It got moved, which is why I first saw its current version today despite having two alts with gold stars.
