Guild Wars 2

Many people are complaining about this, and there’re several reasons:

It’s impossible to do because of campers.
It drains manpower from server.
It causes unnecessary queue of useless for WvW people who came to do the JP only because of chest and 0.00000000000001% chance of getting precursor from it.

First problem is just from not understanding the main point of this JP: it’s PvP jumping puzzle. You supposed to kill players from other teams and so you also might be killed.
If you don’t like it, fine. You can stay in stealth almost whole puzzle and get to the chest, there’s a video.

Camping. Every server does that, deal with it. I hate it, but when I found myself killed by campers from other team you might be sure I’ll pay with same coin.

In situations, when there’s only one or two campers you can just whisper (use “report” function to see his name) and ask politely if they can let you go through.
If campers feel themselves safety about you they might actually do that. If you’re not a thief, I most likely let you go.

Another way to deal with campers is just bring some friends. You don’t have friends? Well, wait at the entrance, tell new people about campers and offer to make a group.
Once I saw how a group of 5-8 people who was camped by us quickly built a ballista and made their way by force. That was awesome.

Second problem is caused by all those “JP haters”. There’re always be people who want to do the puzzle no matter that you say. So, instead of raging – help them. How? Find a mesmer or two and start porting people. This way your server actually benefits from the puzzle, because people able to get to the chest in 2 minutes and get 2 free blueprints from it.

In fact, in our server when there’s nothing happens our commanders themselves encourage people do the puzzle. This way almost our whole server can get 2 free blueprints less than one hour. This is why we can throw 4 rams for one gate, build 20 ballistas and arrow carts in one room or make golems rush every day.

As for third problem… Well. Millions of people did the puzzle, many of them doing it daily and we have only one proof of someone who got his precursor. The only cure is campers.

you can get a precursor from jp?
kitten i’ll have to do the jp more then :P

I personally think that jumping puzzles should be removed from WvW. BL is for PvP, not playing Mario.

Mission accomplished.
All hail mighty badges farm!

Regrets of Sini.6083:

BL is for PvP

The NPC guards, generic foes, and world completion would like to note that if you want PvP, go to Structured. WvW is PvPvE.

Personally I think puzzle pvp is much more fun than sPvP… Pure killing.

Ok,but have fun not on strong WWW servers?)
I agree with topicstarter!

The only reason I go for wvwvw is for the jumping puzzles and the hilarious PVP that goes there.
I agree that it is a problem.. last night there were like 15 tarnished coasters at the ET JP (me included) and map chat was upset because we all could be helping instead of camping, but we were having a great time there.

I think it would we great if they just took both JPs from the maps and make a fifth map solely devoted for jumping puzzles. Then everyone would be happy.
