Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

I have been trying for so long to get silver but my ping is so argh that most of the time the 2 skill just makes me jump in the air. I really want to make Hope but there isnt any point even beginning the expensive journey if I can not get silver.
Does anyone have any ideas how i can do this with ping upwards of 300. Makes me sad I cannot even attempt this legendary because it is stuck behind this adventure.
Thanks in advance

I think your problem is that the proper usage of skill 2 isn’t really spelled out.

When you first press 2, your mushroom does a short hop forward onto its head. It then struggles to get back up. Before this happens, you need to target your cursor onto another distant spot and spam 2 to get the mushroom to make the jump you really want.

Further tips:

• You will absolutely need speed mushrooms from the itzel mastery line. These will remove the speed penalty you get crossing the river halfway through.
• Use skill 1 as often as possible. Occasionally, you can time it to cross small gaps/hills.
• Right after passing the second-to-last gate, you can use skill 2 to jump over a chasm right to the end. This will also be necessary to get silver.

Check the video there. The shortcut after the first checkpoint and the one Sariel mentioned helps a lot.

Unfortunately both involve the use of #2. Only thing I can think of for high ping is to spam the 2 while targetting where you want to go on the flip skill.

It is a very hard adventure and takes a lot of practice. I tried for several hours and managed only silver even though I copied people on youtube. Just be patient and you can get silver….gold is however very hardcore.

Lol yea ive been spamming that 2 target skill to try and combat the ping. Most of the issue is when i actually get to pull off the targeted jump the ping lands me in the same spot or halfway from where i aimed. In the case of the jump after gate 2… i either jump on the spot, or fall to my mushy doom even though the target is placed across the way.

When i run it as normal and get to the second to last gate i do try to jump the gap but the same issue applies.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I will try to keep trying and hope for a really good ping day.
