Guild Wars 2

I think this ought to be a pretty simple and straight forward way to discuss the latest bandwagon topic.

I propose that dodging is just as complicated and requires just as much engagement as using the aspect crystals.

Don’t get me wrong, they could stand some improvement such as removing the 15 second timer. But think about it. Think about the lightning aspect crystal. It gives you a skill that you ground target, and then your character leaps to that spot. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Is that any more or less complicated than dodging?

I subsequently propose that if jumping deserves to be removed, so does dodging. If one player can’t time a simple jump, how can they time a simple dodge? Clearly they are both too complicated and Anet needs to steer away from this type of gameplay. (yes this proposal is a bit sarcastic)

What do you think? Is jumping really so exclusionary? Or are we making a mountain out of a molehill?

Some people just cant jump, the motor skills in their hand cant adapt. I think its easy, i like the #2 one where it shoots you forward, i use that to get around in the new map.

1 thing i would do to improve this whole jumping system would be give the jump skills more time, or no time limit at all.

Can’t wait til they add content that requires jump-dodging.

For those that don’t know, when you jump dodge, you ignore movement modifiers like cripple and chill, so you roll a little farther. Downside is it messes up your invincibility frames in the air, so it’s possible for you to get immobilized/CCed in air and that really sucks. Being stuck in the air is like one of the worst things in the game.

You can easily test this in PvP, have a buddy chill you and try both dodges. And then have a warrior use Pin Down on you while jump dodging.

Well, since jumping and dodging are core functions, it’s very unlikely to be remove.

Well, this discussion is like the one about arachnophobia, they asked for removal of spiders so that the arachnophobic person could play.
