Guild Wars 2

I try to today Wonderland jp. 2 h nonstop jumppings with result 0. 1 time i died right near exit. I am feeling more and more miserable with every fail run and now i hate myself. I am going to cancel my Christmas evening celebration because nobody can love so miserable person as i am.

Thanks for showing me, who i am.

Good job! Merry Christmas!

If it’s any comfort: I’m doing this puzzle a lot and a lot of people “jump with me” – so “pros”. And all of them fail at some stupid point, not every time but pretty often. Somehow the wind after the gifts hates me, so you’d be safe from that if I’m on your map as it waits for me to blow me off (I know how to dodge but apperantly I’m always dodging at the wrong time).

For the blowing wind part, i never stop, always dodgejump. Works everytime. Hope you get through this, but my best advice is to take your time even if you can do the jumping with your eyes closed. Rushing things opens more rooms for stupid mistakes.

How you can not rushing here if you get all the time damage? This was reason, why i died at the end of jp. Not because i do not know how to dodge (believe me after 1.5 years of playing with ele i know how to dodge very well), but because i am getting out of HP.

First off! Merry christmas OP and the rest yay for gifts, candy and awesome food!
Second and lastely, crying this much for not being able to do JP, get the achievement and possibly the shoulder skin which ofc is a must have and matter oh so much (not), then saying your christmas is ruined… That make me sad for the future generations. Someone really messed up

You have now 3 reliable options to solve your conundrum with varying degrees of propability of success:

1.) you can take the time to look at some guide videos, hints, etc. and try to mimic those and eventually succeed at finishing the jumping puzzle (or not, though your ability to influence the outcome is quite high)

2.) you can keep moping around and telling people how much of a loser you think you are (which honestly most of us don’t care about. you seem to have deeper issues than guild wars 2 and should seek counceling) hoping arenanet changes the jumping puzzle and makes it easier (which they very likely will not, and your ability to influence this outcome is minimal at best)

3.) give up and try to not care about the jumping puzzle

Not sure what you expect from other players in the form of help.

It was me who doesn’t know how to dodge =)
It sounds as if it got mixed up.

I’m impressed that you had patience to try for two hours. To be honest, if you died one time close to the exit, it sounds like you might just as easily make it eventually. But, it sounds like it’s not making you very happy. So I don’t know, I think you gotta ask yourself, do you really want the shoulder thing? Would you really wear it? I saw it on somebody yesterday, it’s not really that cool in my opinion.

But you really shouldn’t feel bad about not finishing the puzzle. First of all, tons of people won’t, some because they just hate them, some because they know they will never be successful at it (like me! I have problems with my hands, even trying the puzzle for more than a few minutes would possibly injure me), and others because they estimate that the amount of effort and frustration isn’t worth it to them. More importantly, it really is just a game, nothing to do with you as a person. Some of the worst people I know are great at video games, after all :P

I know you might have just said some of that stuff cuz you were upset at the moment, but I hope that you feel better today and that you don’t cancel your Christmas plans. Even if you are still feeling bad today, I hope you don’t cancel your Christmas plans, if you think they would make you happier. But probably stay away from the forums – I’ve noticed they have gotten very mean-spirited in recent months, and that may just make you feel worse. Anyway, I hope you have a merry Christmas

it just takes practice. day one i was raging at my machine, unsuccessful after 3 hours. day two i got an average of 8 finishes in 30 minutes. day three i averaged 13 finishes in 30 minutes.

day four i got bored and realized i didn’t want to do the jumping puzzle for an insane amount of hours to complete 10,000 drinks and now i do other things.

I suggest you don’t bother with it and instead do something (anything) else you find fun.

I am not even doing this wintersday, save for dailies, simply because I find very little of it fun anymore and am instead just playing something else. The holiday season should not be spent in frustration within a game, personally I got family for that.

Happy Holidays!

Personal best is 15 – I still make silly mistakes or presents blow up without warning etc.

My advice is keep going – as soon as you fall just run into the JP again as if you’d never fallen. You’ll eventually get there.

I hate that JP, too.

I prefer Toypocalpyse.

I just do the dailies that give me the best reward for the time and that’s it, I haven’t gotten the Wintersday meta since the first one, and don’t care if I do get it. The jumping puzzle is one that I’m not going to get and I’m not going to waste hours trying to learn it either. Just do what you like and don’t be trying to do stuff that not fun. Its a game you know, not a job.

Just take something you really likein real life, for example one of your wrapped christmas presents, a snickers bar or a tube of vaseline and ask someone to put it on the last step of your staircase.

Then jump up your staircase and get your reward.

You are not miserable anymore.

That attached to your tubes of Vaseline, are you? :P

It’s very much a game. I agree.

if this helps there is 2 types of jump. Forward/Jump then when ur holding forward key and jumping and Jump/Forward that when u jump 1st then hit forward right after. If you can remember that and figure out object distance from you or elevation its easy. I’ve done the puzzle like 8x in a row before I even died once. Its easy.

Don’t let your inability to complete that jp ruin your Christmas! This is just a game.
Merry Christmas, Creative, and to everyone!

I can do the jp just fine. Dont like snickers either.

OP, I think of myself as reasonably good at this game. Not super good, but I can manage most of the content and enjoy JP’s, even Dreamdark.

I can’t do this JP, or Clocktower, or the Southsun one with the geysers. Timed jumps just don’t work well for me. It hasn’t ruined anything for me! In fact it reduced my stress this year because knowing I wouldn’t beat the JP once, let alone three times, let me decide not to go for the shoulders (I’ve never made it through all the snowflakes, let alone seen what people are talking about with the windy snowman; then again after 4 hours of fail on Clocktower its first year I decided not to put in hours on this). I’m making gold from selling booze from the gifts from the activities I do enjoy.

I even got the meta done without the JP or drinks or candy canes.

So don’t let this ruin your fun, especially your RL fun, if you really meant that. Relax, enjoy, there’s things to do other than the activities that you don’t enjoy.

You have plenty of time to reach the end without dodging through the wind. I always just wait for it and run through, wait on side once per snowball and reach end before time runs out. ;o

repair post: Sry for bad english. Jumping Puzzles … hop hop, Vistas … hop hop, Achievements – hop hop, Events – hop hop. Skipping is anet / … anet censorship …. / Look at rewards. No, thanks. I am Knight any Super Mario. Ignore GW2 events and have no problem.

I actually play the jumping puzzle with the HuD turned off. I don’t need to know what my hp is at because I know if I don’t see it, I don’t worry. If I don’t worry I don’t mess up.
The timer will run out if you make a mistake. Take all the time you need on the first part. When you get to the campfire you’ll get all your health back. From there wait until you understand the presents and when they spawn, which pop first etc. After that its all about dodge rolling and timing.dodge roll for a little momentum as well.

I honestly don’t see it.
But I completed the JP quite a lot of times – that was just to tell the OP that none of us is really an expert – although I saw someone who had 17 runs in half an hour- kudos to them. I usually fail if a fat Norn or Charr is in front of me. So I wait = lose time. And no, that’s no problem to me :P

Main reason people have problem with jumping puzzles is key binds. If you’re using keyboard to turn that’s mistake number one. If you’re using left and right mouse buttons to move forward that’s mistake number 2. If you have double tap to dodge and not set to a key that’s mistake number 3. If you have bad Internet speed or low fps just give up. Hope this helps.

To everyone saying “it’s easy”, can you read?
To everyone laughing and giggling, what a bunch of —- —-—!
Was this post to you? No, it was to Anet.
What a great place for personal records, NOT!

I thought it was the game. Looks like it’s the players.
There is clearly no sympathy or empathy here, only sharks.
The nice thing OP is that there’s always a bigger shark.
Sooner or later, you get to laugh at them.

Bit of hyperbole, Tumult? I count 8 sympathetic, empathic replies that don’t say the JP is easy or talk about their own great skill at it. Whatever issue you see with the less helpful replies, turning that into there is “no sympathy or empathy here” and saying the players are the problem ignores the immediate evidence of helpful sorts in this very thread.

Don’t worry about it – just enjoy Christmas.

He said "To everyone saying “it’s easy”…".

So, he’s addressing his comment to them, specifically.

He didn’t say everyone was saying that.

The forums aren’t empathetic, though – I can totally agree with that.

But, I say that in relation to what is my normal experience, in every day life.

In every day life, in my culture at least, most (almost all) people show empathy.

So, even if “only” 30% of people, on a forum, don’t show it, it will read like a place full of unempathetic people, relative to real life.

Especially if they tend to be a high proportion of the ones commenting a lot.
