Guild Wars 2

This message is mainly just for ANET. I need them to listen to what i have to say.

Dear ArenaNet. You’ve created a wonderful game with so many different features. One of those genius features is the jumping puzzle in obsidian sanctum. Its a wonderful place when theres people from all 3 servers. its a great amount of fun. The only problem is there arent enough people to keep it populated as most of the players in obsidian are just waiting for their que to pop so they can enter another wvw map.

So the problem is there arent enough players inside obsidian.. how do we solve this?
Easy. add a proper reward! Add a gold reward at the end of the JP just like in dungeons. maybe 1 or 2 gold or even a certain daily for it. This will most likely encourage more players to enter obsidian sanctum and then it will be more fun and rewarding for all of us!

1 or 2 Gold? That place (at least for me) takes a long time. Besides if you want a reward while waiting for your que go to EOTM and warm up so your actually ready and have the mindset for WvW….

I’d do it daily for a gold, but it would probably be populated – so actually fun again!

(IMO the puzzle needs a stealth bottle so we can get through the arena – the only place you can’t have the 5 mins stealth).

if youre not used to it, it can take you a while. maybe 10-15 min if youre new. but ppl that already know the puzzle can get it done in about 7-8 min. eotm is unpredictable if youre only gonna be waiting a short while. there has to be a commander etc..

they already scattered the spawn points to prevent it, but yea. i just want more people really, i think everything else is secondary

Still in favor for this one:

I mean the Arena section with the animals in it, after the dark room. You can stand at the top in the knowledge that no stealthed person will come through the room. So that particular part of the puzzle has always been troll central.

I see. perhaps this is something that could be changed.

Update:

I did a speedrun of the JP at just 4 minutes.. so technically youd be able to complete almost the entire JP with just 1 stealth fountain thingy

Update #2:

Alternatively, you could add a supply camp or .. something that counts points towards your server if you have it, at the end of the puzzle to encourage roamers or something to do the puzzle.

The OS should be revamped into a dueling arena that is server wide and where players who are on the same or opposing server can toggle a duel/peace mode that allows them to organize duels. The toggle would display an icon above the player’s head that would be either green or red. Green meaning they can not be killed and red meaning they are open to combat from anyone else who is tagged the same way. Once toggled as dueling there is a time limit before you can toggle back to peace.

This would be a good idea in the dueling areas of OS, but i still think the other things should be done as well

i mean anet made it that way to get rid of GvG guilds taking up space on maps.

Do you guess your way through the dark room or do you use a torch? You need to drop the stealth thingy to carry a torch.

Obsidian sanctum isn’t populated because it’s not relevant, it’s like a bad lobby. Anet needs to add something that makes a difference in WvW so players are incentivized to go there.

As we all know most players associate worth with either fun or rewards.

Dueling or even being a douchbag trolling gvgs or people doing the puzzle it self in OS will always be a better reward then that jp chest.

You could… you know… read the original post.

I dont need the torch at all anymore. i just use a certain backpiece that sheds a little bit of light around my character so i can see what im walking on.. thats enough for me.

And yea ik you need to drop stealth to get the torch but.. you know. i guess its a tradeoff. if youre good you dont need the torch but if you are new you might need it.

Here is a picture I just took of me wearing the Mad Memories Complete Edition with no light coming from it. They patched that a while back… back… ugh.. never mind.

Which backpiece do you use that sheds light while you’re in stealth?
