Guild Wars 2

it’s not enough that Mount Maelstrom is already my favorite area in the game, you had to make sure it was just the awesomest place ever, didn’t you? so you added that amazing jumping puzzle. creative, fun, challenging, interesting mechanic to get to it (albeit unclear at first, but the lure of a DE is clever), well designed (the fish on the deeper ponds so we knew where to aim for is a stroke of genius), and probably the most beautiful area in the whole game.

i applaud you.

however, if there was one thing i could ask for, is either a checkpoint system (it’s a pretty long fall, and the DE takes like 15 minutes to refresh), a waypoint (unlikely, i know), or some other way for people that were in it and just died to go back inside. kinda like keeping dungeon instances open for 15 minutes after you leave the instance. maybe the players that respawned upon dying mid-puzzle have 10 or so minutes to walk in the portal (which would stay invisible to other players until they did the event themselves and walked into it).

but that small issue aside, all my statements stand. this was truly an amazing thing to do, and i hope we see more of that in the future.
