Guild Wars 2

Dear Arenanet

Me and a couple of friends I have been playing with really enjoy jumping puzzles of all sorts. Some of us want’s to go for legendary weapons (requires 500 badges of Honor) Easiest way to get them is to do the jumpnig puzzles in WvW..

So what do I want to say?

As you get traveled to a different zone in the Eternal Battlegrounds for the jumpnig pussle you SHOULD not be able to kill other people. It is highly unmotivating to do your genius puzzles. Alot of people camp the traps and alot of people just enjoy to make your day BAD in forms of killing you so you have to waypoint out of the puzzle.

Lets put it like this…
Me and a friend goes into the puzzle and are at the last jumps of the puzzle when a bunch of Invaders jumps infront of you and kills you so you have to waypoint out and try again. How long could that take? Well I would guess for the “normal” casual player it would maybe take 20 minutes to get there. And in addition you have placed traps to make our chances minimal to get through all the way. So what happens if I get killed? Yes how lovely I have to get back to the waypoint and run again and again and again.

Yes that is very very fun? I wouldn’t think so! Put yourselves in the situation where you go for the chest for 2-3 hours and not getting it just because some players are there just to make your playing not fun anymore).

(For all of the guys that will and probably are going to comment about this… Yes of course I could kill them aswell. But I don’t feel like ruining other players day in such a simple way as killing someone so he/she has to restart.)

Thanks for reading it through.

First: The word is “Puzzle”.
Second: PvP Happens.

I’d say the only problem is the mesmer’s portal and the capability to build siege weapons in there.
Because of the portal, campers are allowed infinite ressources to block progress. its as if there was a capture and a waypoint at the end of the puzzle, i’m pretty sure its not meant to be that way.
Otherwise, i understand your frustration, but don’t take that chest for granted, it is not meant to be easily accessible, if there are more many foes in there than allies, you cannot get it, period, and its fine that way, its not meant to be fair, and its not meant for everyone.

On a side note, i think its pretty ironic how you can get most of your “Badges of Honor” through very dishonorable means

I think the name of this game is Guild Wars or something, i’m not positive but i’m pretty sure a “guild” Contains players. So one would assume that if the guilds are warring then PvP is, by the power of logic, happening.

I suggest you go play Hello kitty if you don’t like PvP. Honestly, not a troll suggestion at all.

Getting 500 badges should require pvp, not just pve some puzzle every day till you have them. I have to go farm PvE for the majority of mats for a legendary, you having to farm just 500 badges and run around the map for map completion seems like a lot less effort for you, then me.

i have about 1500 badges from casual pvp in wvw. not hard at all. how about instead of wasting your time in jumping puzzle, go actually kill some people.

Heh so let me ask you a question, what sort of badges were you farming again? Oh the PVP ones.
I see.
So right you want PVP badges without doing any pvp? Right?
Uh huh… I see…
Right… so you are a carebear who wants an easy legendary. Ok.. hmm well sorry buddy but the legendary is a status of dedication to all parts of the game. PVP is the largest part of it. Just because you are happy killing NPCs all day long does not entitle you to an easy high quality rare item.
In fact I love the idea that you need to do everything to get them.

As for whinging about the puzzle I started bringing carts there on day one.
Its quickly become a recurring theme thanks to people like me and I am very glad it has, you can get some of the best and most fun pvp in the game doing that thing.
It has a sense of risk not apparent else where as you DO have to start again if you and your team are wiped.

So why should we destroy one of the fine locations for pvp that many people enjoy just so you can get your easy legendary and never return there again?
Selfish? I can think of worse ways to describe you.

I completely agree with this, this puzzle is hard enough without kitten that stand in one area for the entire day with arrow carts and wasting space in their server. if they don’t disable the ability to attack people in this, at least put in systems to prevent camping and ban siege equipment.

The general idea i get from this is, sure its a challenge and you should have to pvp to get the pvp badges, but how is it fun.

how is it fun to have the enemy team that currently has no structures have half their server in the jumping puzzle, not only knowing their only purpose is to be an kitten but that they also are contributing to their servers losing streak.

It not only hurts you, it hurts their server as well.
they should have the people in the jumping puzzle not count towards the 500 cap of WvW

Also can everyone stop being such kitten with this carebear kitten and sarcasm, or are we not old enough to take constructive criticism without firing back verbal abuse?

PvP rewards should require some amout of PvP play…

You’re in a pvp area, expect a fight. Siege can be annoying, but you can still counter it unless there are multiple engines and then you’re dealing with 6-10 people so you’d probably die to them anyways.

well since the puzzle is in a wvwvw zone one simply has to count on the possibility that there might be enemies trying to kill you.
If you removed the possibility to kil enemy players since it is in a “different zone” then they should change the rewards also, remove the badges of honour for example.

Stay in PVE if you dont like PVP

The EB Jumping Puzzle is definitely my favorite place to hang out, even if I am constantly dying and walking back. I rather fight there in small scale than outside with the long huge AOE fests where no one dies because people get rezzed in 2 seconds.

Doing the puzzle is completely optional, if you don’t like how it is you do not do it. simple as that.

The Juming Puzzle as a whole needs to just be removed, badges gained from doing a simple task especially if your on a low pop server is unbalanced.

There should be no badges earned period and if at all 1 seige if that.

this might have been a good concept but the pure thought of it effecting other aspects of the game really wasnt.

Vote to just remove them period
