Guild Wars 2

In Blazeridge there’s an area called Monument Ground, located where the Great Wall is.
In it there’s a small jumping puzzle (if we can call it one) that leads to a chest.

But it’s not the only thing you can find there. As you can see by watching the vista, there seems to be an even bigger jumping puzzle there.

After wasting an hour or so trying so many possibilities, encountering so many terrain glitches, I finally managed to find a route that worked. That was until I encountered an invisible wall that prevented me from going up the stairs.
Which made me remember why I don’t bother exploring in Guild Wars 2 : they had a ton of ideas, some got implemented, but others weren’t so lucky.
But instead of erasing every traces, they leave bits here and there, making you believe than you are on to something only to make you realize that in the end there’s nothing because the content isn’t finished or was simply abandoned.

So, what kind of thing did you find that was unfinished but is still there (like mini games in various cities) ?

it’s very likely that it’s being implemented slowly and not abandoned content. There are lots of different areas that are walled off that I see appearing around the world to possibly be used later.

I managed to get to the end of it (still a bit mad about that invisible wall). Found another route without going by those stairs. And had to use a teleportation gun because I didn’t want to take the risk of falling again (kind of a long hike).

Of course the end is full of fake textures and what not, but at least I got to it. It would be a nice little jumping puzzle. And now I’m going to wander around those textures.

LOTS of stuff in Orr. It’s pretty awesome to discover stuff like this. Sometimes you don’t even need to do leaps or teleports you can just walk through an wall. I love that stuff.

Oh yeah Orr, which reminds me that I wanted to go explore the water there. But it’s so full of enemies :/

I used to hate jumping puzzles, but after about 5 months of fiddling with them I got real used to it and now I climb stuff all the time – doesn’t matter if it looks like a puzzle – if I think I can get somewhere with a cool view, or where I wasn’t intended ta go, I’ll try for it.

The places where you usually explore don’t have any enemies at all.

Well now portal guns and experimental rifles are my new favorite items

Where r u getting ur “Experimental Rifle” at? — been looking 4 months 4 it —> This does not seem 2 b working correctly —> http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Experimental_Rifle

It’s like the wiki says :

“Exact location is Poi- Saliah Bayt. Usually going there, the Event is underway or the Chicken Coop Event fails because no one is doing it. Finish the Chicken Event and the Veteran Chicken Event and wait a few minutes. "
The waiting time for the event to start over after killing the veterans is around 8 minutes and the time you have to destroy the Chicken Coop is 6 minutes.

After that a Champion will spawn. If you die, when you come back the event might not appear on your map, but the Champion is still wandering around. Once you kill him, you can buy the riffle.
