Guild Wars 2

I would suggest resetting jumping puzzles timers at 3 am every day, because comming all way up just to find already opened chest is sad. I don’t think there would be many people trying to abuse it to claim double rewards for a single run (maybe people from US playing on EU servers and vice versa), but if you are worried, make chests impossible to reopen for the next few hours.

@update
This topic is about WvW jumping puzzle and its 24h reset, where it should be rather “daily reset”.

What’s the difference between resetting at 3AM and resetting at the current daily reset?

I’m not sure what advantage it gives, and it seems confusing to give jumping puzzles a different reset time from everything else.

The daily reset at 1 am is fine, and I was thinking about WvW jumping puzzle. Didn’t know these 2 have separate rules of resetting, which aren’t good in my opinion.

What’s the reset on the WvW puzzles? 24 hours after opening?

There shouldn’t be two reset periods. All things should reset when the daily does. JPs, rich nodes, vegetable farms, etc. No reason to have a real 24 for anything. ‘Especially’ when you tie JPs into the daily achievements.

Where are you that the server reset is 1am? The reset is server standard time. For me in EST it’s at 7PM. Actual server time it’s at 4PM.

Changing it to 3AM is an arbitrary change that only effects where you are specifically in a meaningful way, everyone else gets little benefit.

Are you familiar with the concept of time zones ?

That’s right. If I enter Obsidian sanctum (my favourite daily JP) at night, for example 22:00, I can’t claim the finals chest the next day in the morning or evening. I have to wait for the 24h reset. That means, sooner or later I will have to wait 2 days, as my personal reset will be so late at night, that I won’t bother going there.

Agreed all the 24hour stuff is annoying. I used to do that jp daily but I ended up having a time creep for it. Since let’s say I do it at 4, the next day I will do it at 4:30 just to be safe, and the day after 5 ect ect. Which frankly was a hassle since I get on everyday around the same time and like to do my rounds before moving on, this puzzle messed up my typical rounds since it had to be worked around otherwise I would have wasted my time doing it. After all it’s not like I can log into another alt while I wait for the timer…Not to mention with the time creep makes it hard to do it everyday.

Resetting at the daily like the other jumping puzzles would be ideal. Only issue with that would be someone running it just before reset so they can open it 2x (just before and right after) that way they only have to run it every other day. But still imagine other players from other servers would do the same and it would be harder at those times so it might even out.

Who knows though they are planning on changing up the EBG jp with the fractal update as a separate thing or w/e so they might change how the timer on it works.
