Guild Wars 2

Don’t really know where to post this so I’ll put it here. I’m one of many people who cannot for the life of them finish the Winter Wonderland JP despite hours upon hours thrown into the attempt. I’ve seen people complain it’s too hard, and others complain that it’s far too easy and that people aren’t trying hard enough.

Regardless, why not petition to have a checkpoint added to the second fire in the JP? The one right before the collapsing presents. The two times I’ve made it that far, I’ve always died trying to make it across the bridge. This would in no way hamper those who ‘complete the jumping puzzle 15 times an hour’ but would allow players who have more difficulties a slightly better chance at finishing the puzzle.

There actually was a single use checkpoint there as an option to players. Tixx gave you a present at that platform to take with you and deliver at the end to earn more rewards, but if you fall then you lose the present but restart one time at the present wall for another shot. I believe that was how it had worked.

They’ve removed that this year.

Yeah…my ‘sigher’ is already broken from their other decisions, so I can’t sigh at this sad and unnecessary change. :\

Speaking as an elementalist, I think that elementalists should be able to just levitate to the top of all jumping puzzles, whilst laughing and pointing at the little people still trying to make those jumps. I imagine some of the little people will think this is unfair but, hey, we’re busy wizzies. We’ve got spells to cast and those keys are not going to press themselves.

If levitating is not available I’d settle for a really long ladder.

Yeah, OK, I admit it. I’m absolutely rubbish at judging those jumps.

Yeah, that’s how it worked, and actually they had it removed last year already. Pity, getting a second chance was pretty useful for new players still learning the puzzle.
