Guild Wars 2

It would be nice if a Jumping Puzzle would be added to the Heart of the Mists. I mean many people are climbing on top of everything anyways, it would give you something to do while waiting for your match in queue.

It could be 5-10 minutes long, so you can complete it in between a few matches.

That’s it.

I LIKES! EotM too, please!

During these days I find myself jumping everywhere in the lobby while queueing, so I think it’s a good suggestion (I know I will never forgive myself for saying that)

Decent suggestion, especially cause you are not allowed to leave the Mists while in a queue.
(Yes I know that you can now cause the Leave Queue button is broken, not for long probably).

But you have to consider the fact that after you finish a match, you will respawn in the Mists at the portal/PvP instructor. Which means your JP progress will be erased.

It would be ok if the JP had no reward at the top/end of it so you just jump for fun. But if it did I can already see the situation where people decide to cancel the vote cause they actually want to finish the JP, how they are almost at the end but no time to finish if they accept the queue.

That would end in other 9 players getting kicked out of the vote screen and thrown back into queue again (since the map vote won’t start unless all 10 players accepted).

Other solution would be if they disabled the thing where you respawn at the portal/ PvP Instructor and after a match you can just continue the JP where you left of.

How about a costume brawl totem similar to endless mystery tonic on Witch’s cauldron.

Something light and quick to kill time waiting.

Also can we have an activities NPC?

I think that the crafting stations would be better
A lobby must be like a city…

agreed, if HotM was more city like it would be alot better. they have half of it there already. just add in the crafting stations/mystic forge.

asked for it for year at least now :/

This has been desired for a long time, but yes I agree this should be in. Frankly I think jumping helps players learn distancing anyways so it does have benefits even if people say things like “Non PvP shouldn’t be in mists >=(”

but I think it should have more purpose than just a jumping puzzle. Like at the end you have a box with a “potion of pvp reward” which should be standard, but up there have utilites, NPCs, and maybe a mystic forge? but with no way point so it’s not the super convent replacement for LA.

In terms of design/difficulty I think it should fall somewhere between that of skipping stones, and shattered ice ruins. Be about as long as Mad kings (without waiting for the window) but still harder than wonderland.

OR!

Have a repeatable one as long as drydock all over the mists, but with great picnic areas to rest when queue pop :b

OR!

Just remove invisible walls and let us run wild :p

I’m surprised no one said “Go back to PvE!!!” yet:D

Anyway, as Urosh said, yeah, you need to be put back where you were when returning from the match so you can continue or it might mess with queues.

I think crafting stations and MF won’t ever get put there cause that’s what the Royal Pass / Captian’s Airship Pass is for, don’t think Anet wants to ruin their own Gemstore items

Yes please, any form of jumping pussle (in areas blocked by invisible walls?) would be extremely nice! I especially like the idea of a big repeatable one. Sometimes i find myself jumping around exploring hotm for hours, lol.

Same, while waiting for someone to respond in Whisper to your invite just to forget when they don’t respond and just run around.

+1
and it should be hard – I mean really hard
if all jumping puzzles until now are on a scale from 1-5 (they are stupidly easy)
this one should be a 50 or higher
and unforgiving like SAB tribulation

Joshua Foreman IM CALLING YOU OUT FOR THIS ONE
PLEASE you have the right to HURT US!

I actually like this idea. A JP with a chest at the top that gives some of those PvP track reward potions. Just make it so that people actually need to do it and not just take mesmer ports all day.

YES YES YES! it can get so boring waiting about for matches, adding a JP is ideal. Make it fun, long and don’t erase progress in-between matches.

Maybe one where we actually find THE HEART of the mists?
