With all the recent controversy about content updates, maybe I can do something constructive and fun, and have a little thread on the REAL endgame content of Guild Wars 2 – Jumping!

Here’s a tricky number I’ve been working on for a bit, but finally figured out today.

Victory!

What’s the point of this, you might ask? Well, none, really. It’s not like walking up there is particularly hard. But in setting your own goals comes a personal satisfaction when you complete them, and in that vein I’d like to see the incredible jumps that the rest of you have accomplished, probably putting me to shame.

I believe you can land on top of there if you jump from the walkway to the blue things down to the bottom.

But yes, jumping places is fun. Here’s a favorite of mine.

You’re making me miss the fountain already…

I consider getting to the bottom of Rata Sum in one piece my personal achievement, and hell, that sure took a few tries.

Regarding Rata Sum, if you really know what you’re doing, you can get to the polymock arenas

(not that you can do anything there yet)

Another fun place to visit is Salma district in non-instanced mode (you can get there by climbing over rooftops). It’s… quiet there.

Anyone figured out a way to get into the collapse? I keep wanting to see what’s down there.

you can go to a lot of places in rata sum, lots of weird angles that can be climbed, even on the cliffs by the water if you’re willing to swim.

As for the collapse, I havent found a way in yet, giant invisible walls as far as the eye can see (or er, cant)

The great collapse was possible, through broken textures, in the beta weekend 2, and its filled with invisible water about halfway down that goes insanely deep. Those bugs have since been fixed and as far as I know there is no way in.

I did rata sum! It was awesome, but disappointingly easy with half fall damage. Same with getting into salma district. My personal favourite spot is on top of owl shrine in snowden drifts. Its easy to get to really, but I have never seen anyone up there and its just a cool little place

Does cheating with Jump Shot count?

My turret is so much better at this game than I am.
