Guild Wars 2

Arrrgggghhhhh!!!! yup that just about says it all. im venting my frustration. If your reading then you prolly askin’ what and “what the”??

The answer is:

Puzzle jumping as a norn. Oh god how i hate it. i even remade my norn to be the smallest norn i could and i still hate it. my little princess of a human, no problem but the norn and camera angles… suuu…uuuu…uuuck!

and the other world completion. im @99% just got the top borderland in WvW to complete and my journey to legendary weapon can continue… but guess what.. my server isnt the greatest in WvW (no problem, i could transfer but that costs more than i have soooo..i wait). Sure i hope to get it beat cause i need my WvW badges anyway, or get a revolution around to start in that portion of the map…. aarrrgggghhh.. seems to alternate to the borderlands i already have completed…

the grind… so it’s not all bad, i don’t mind the grinding, just the farming changes for the drops… everywhere is dead. southsun has killed the resale in karka shells and flowers, orr changes killed farming there, so im stuck, running longer farming schedules for less income (either mats or resale). i seem to have bad luck… only exotics i ever get is map completion, no drops. i run my dailies, monthlies and events for blues and greens (and the wonderful bonus chest yellow). My cash pile is building, its just soooo slow, and my map completion is going even slower.

So that’s it, rant over. sure you can respond negatively or positively, that’s up to you, i’m just venting cause i need to get it out somewhere.. the wife just doesn’t get it, hope some fellow GW2 nerds will. And for all those grinding out you’re legendary or plying a norn in frustration or whatever is giving you grief, remember there are others out there that feel your pain. Stick it out, i’m sure, I hope, the wait is worth it. :-)

Don’t worry bud you are certainly not the only one with these exact problems. I am currently at 98% and the only parts I need are constantly in the other servers borderlands, it seems to me that they should make it that every once in a while the borderlands your server controls is swapped around. It would help with the exploration part but also keep them from being so static.

As to the norn jumping puzzle thing. I have done every single one of them on my norn and you are completely correct half of them would be much easier if the camera angle wasnt FUBAR. I remember that in GW1 it was possible to zoom your camera all the way into your character and play in 1st person mode. I am not saying this needs to be an option 100% of the time but there is obviously code in place that detects when you have entered a jumping puzzle so made they could just add the ability to zoom in to first person for the duration of the puzzle.

But yes exact same issues here lol.

Try doing the jumping puzzles as the largest Norn Ranger, with a freaking pet hanging about, getting in the way and blocking your view… then you put it away… only to have it come the kitten back again when you take slight fall damage… then you can’t put it back again coz you’re considered in-combat. Arrrggghhhh!!!!

Try getting some cheap humanoid tonics. Then you can do jumping puzzles as a smaller character.

Why are you grinding if you don’t like it? I don’t do stuff I don’t like. It makes me angry. I don’t like to be angry.

yeap. The plushie griffin tonic makes a great jumper for the puzzles. Not sure that is the exact name lol, but that is what it is. A cute little thing.

Can’t imagine it’s much better for the Charr, either.

and i thought it was because I sucked, I too have a Norn, stupid giant she is, all her fault!
(mind you she does have a body to die for)
