Yesterday my friend and I were in the crafting area at Lion’s Arch when we came up with a mini-game: we wanted to see if we could jump onto each of the flag-poles beside the crafting stations. We managed to get onto all but one of them! (Still figuring out the last one). Some were easy, some required a bit of ingenuity, but it was all fun.
Anet – we would like to offer this suggestion: maybe this could be made into an achievement or a mini jumping puzzle, possibly named something like “Flagpole Sitta” (after the Harvey Danger song) or “Pole Position” or even “Standard Stander”.
The environment is all there, so there’s no need to design anything extra – unless you wanted to make the little horizontal rods (that hold the flags out on the flagpoles) solid to make it easier. That might actually be necessary to reach one of the flag-poles. Other than that, it’s a fun little re-use of an existing area and I’m sure people would enjoy it.
