Guild Wars 2

rojoka.5976:

some places that are only reachable by gliding are nearly impossible to reach as there is always a delay til the glider opens (even if i keep the space bar pressed) – and so i reach my destination a few inches below the edge (eg. the final reward chest in DS).

That last platform in DS should be easily reachable if you catch the huge updraft nearby. The trick I had to learn was to keep yourself in the updraft for the full lift. If you get all of it you can glide to the middle of that platform easy.

If you have glider leaning, you should always pull back when entering the updraft and if distance is a concern DO NOT use lean forward unless you have advanced gliding. You go faster but burn your endurance bar and cannot glide as far at speed.

Jumping puzzles are ok. Combat mode is evil. Send combat mode back to pvp where it belongs.
