Guild Wars 2

OK, so I mind my own business not paying attention to the ‘enemy’ in trying to figure out a jump puzzle and I’m griefed daily for it? Listen…I know this is WvW but its bullkitten I can’t try to complete something fun because there’s always someone attacking at all times. No one has the common courtesy to not grief you I guess, I get it but its still lame. Maybe I’m alone in this, but I’m about done with this aspect of GW2. As a matter of fact, I may be about done with the whole game. Thanks for Gw’s ANET but part 2 is kitten

let me quote a line from your forum signature:
“If you don’t get it right the first time, keep on sucking until you do!”

and it is not called grief.
it is called pvp in a pvp zone.

kill them first, or, get a buddy and kill him together 2v1.

I expected that rebuttal….please continue to flame. I don’t care, as my opinion is not for the forumites.

its not a flame

what is world vs world, its a huge pvp arena, so why would the devs go against the design of wvw and remove pvp from it?

It makes no sense. Sorry you want to rage on the forum but it isn’t going to change.

Or let me give you an analogy. Lets say that there’s a Board Game club. And at this board game club, you can sit down and play a number of different board games. But you choose chess. So, you sit down with your opponent and start playing. You have decided you just want to get a pawn to the other side of the board, but as you push your pawns forward, your opponent keeps capturing them. Then, at the next club meeting you come and complain about how people keep capturing your pawns and won’t let them get to the other side of the board. They ask you, “So, you’re having trouble promoting your pawns? Maybe we can show you some new openings to let you beat your opponent.” And you respond, “No, no. I don’t want to beat him, I just want to play on a chess board by myself with only my pieces and move 1 pawn across the board.” They will tell you, “Well, then you’re playing the wrong game. Why don’t you go play one of those other board games over there where everyone helps you get your pieces across the board?” And you demand, “NO! I want the very rules of chess redefined to where no one can play against each other and people can only move pawns! I want all the pieces to be white pawns, and no black pieces and no one is allowed to play the old way anymore!” And then they kick you out of board game club because no one wants to play with a self centered child who doesn’t realize that getting what they are asking for would take away what other people want and who don’t realize they can get what they want by just going and playing a different game like the 30 or so other jumping puzzles in the game that are completely PVE.

Not for the forumites? Well, if it’s for ANet, while they do read these forums too, suggestions go in the suggestion forum. Besides, if you got some one from ANet to respond to your request, I almost guarantee you they’d tell you the same thing: “WvW Jumping Puzzles are for PVPing in. If you want to do jumping puzzles where you don’t have to worry about other players, go do the other jumping puzzles. We’re not going to take content away from people who are enjoying it just because you aren’t when there is plenty of content for you to enjoy elsewhere.”

It is a flame, as its now turned into a “L2p” discussion when it has nothing to do with that. I can PvP just fine, that doesn’t mean I want to do that while timing a jump or dodging flames. Eh…it doesn’t matter I guess, I’m never going to be on the intellectual wavelength as the rest of you guys. Have fun all, I’m not going to battle your superior wit.

You sound too passive and that’s why you’re probably getting killed in the jumping puzzle. Kill the other players next time and then you can finish your puzzle.

I’m not a super big fan of jump puzzles anyway in this game and the WvW ones are just meh with people camping them. Thankfully you don’t really need them or anything. You can get a mountain of badges much faster just by wasting people out in the field.

Are you trying to do them for badges, rummy, or for the achievements?

also holding a JP dose offer a tactical advantage. Free siege equipment is kinda a big deal.

It’s called joining a guild and doing the puzzle with other people. At least then when you fall, there’s someone to rez you. Sounds to me like you’re trying to solo the puzzle all the time. The fault, in this case anyway, probably isn’t the game’s.

i think he just want to rile up the forumites.
i think he succeeded.

Eh, nothing wrong with going it solo. It’s just unwise to try it when it’s crawling with invaders.

Which jumping puzzle are you referring towards: Behind the Waterfall or Eternal Battlegrounds? The former is in every borderland and the keys of one can work in another. So, you’ll just be able to go to a different map if one is being camped.

As for the EB jumping puzzle, that one is kind of tricky. See, it’s more of a ‘group’ thing to do. And trust me in saying that you want to have a Mesmer, Necromancer, or Engineer with you. Each of those classes have a nice little pull that they can use to get enemies off of the high-end spots and down to the death pits below.

As for the PvP aspect: Enemy players are not your friends. They’re there, preventing you from getting that shinny chest at the end of the puzzle. Why? Because there’s siege blueprints inside. Denying you those blueprints is helping their server win at WvWvW (though some people think otherwise, it is just known fact).

There is other Jumping puzzles than the ones in WvW that you can do for daily. Lions Arch has atleast 2 that I know of. Safe, without mobs that can prevent you from doing it either.

There are three in LA…but that’s not what this topic is about.

What do you expect from a PvP zone? Grab some buddies, kill the invaders and do the jumping puzzle together. If you don’t like having to deal with pvp while doing a jumping puzzle then don’t do those particular jumping puzzles.

Maybe we don’t quite understand exactly WHY you’re doing the WvW jumping puzzle. Most people do it for the badges and free siege equipment. If you’re not interested in WvW, I don’t see any reason why you should care about this JP.

It sucks to get ganked, but believe it or not, WvW jumping puzzles are intended by design. I have been trolled by invaders pulling the switch on the lovely swinging logs on me plenty. And had allies troll their own server by activating flame traps and releasing the drakes. Just try to not take it personally and have a laugh about it.

You can always gank people back.

You do know you can do the whole JP fully stealthed, right? Granted you’ll have to be pretty fast, but the option of avoiding PvP in a PvP area (lol) is kinda there.

Fully stealthed by yourself was never possible. At least I never succeeded in getting to the last fountain stealthed. A perfect run would still only just put me past the arena. This was before the nerf to backpack and fiery sword. So now you’d have to be able to do the dark area without seeing to get into the arena stealthed.

But this is just another complain thread of course. OP might just as well have been one of my victims.

Do people seriosuly enter WvWvW with the mindset of ‘’No one will attack me.’’

Scratch that mindset now, always think like this when you enter WvWvW; ’’I’m entering a PvP zone, I might get killed, so now that I have prepared for it I will not write a forum post about it.’’

It’s threads like these that make camping the JP so rewarding.

It’s really not that bad. If you need badges and don’t want to WvW, just go to the JP on your own BL when the neighboring towers are in your server’s hands. Running it will take about 8 minutes once you get it down. Then come back with an alt and do it again. Rinse and repeat. Also go into the EB JP when your side has it, and get ported up by a friendly mesmer – happens all the time. Note that the BL JP gives fixed rewards whereas the EB JP is level-dependent.

I’d recommend at least trying WvW though – I expected to hate it but now absolutely love it and get my badges that way instead.

Guardian is pretty fun to do JP with if someone is trying to grief you. Especially with Staff and Scepter as weapons, assuming you just want to do the JP and not fight them.

The staff #5 ability is great to set up at the very edge of a jump. Then jump and when they follow bam, down the JP. Or time an immobilize right and it messes them up too.

If you are doing the JPs in enemy territory you really do need to assume you will be attacked on sight relentlessly. I know I do it when I"m doing my BL JP and I see an enemy. I will make sure to give them a hell of a time, it’s pretty much assumed as far as I know. It also makes you chuckle a bit when you know they have to release all the way back to the south and run back, but that’s kinda the point of WvWvW.

Let me go into a movie theatre to watch a movie then complain that there are trailers for other movies, really AMC? Really? I think I am just about done with going to the theatres to watch a movie.
