Guild Wars 2

Guys at Anet please, just please make it possible in WvW that people aren’t able to kill each other in the puzzles. Just come on I have been there like 2 times and I have been killed both by 2 or more people. That actually becomes annoying after a bit.

How about just take jumping puzzles out of WvW? It’s a PvP zone, it should be PvP.

I think it’s a little annoying that one of the most efficient ways of getting badges isn’t to play WvW, it’s just hopping around some platforms.

I would rather it be taken out. It is a PvP zone so if it is camped and you get killed – Way it Goes. Get over it! this isnt carebeare jumping jacks, this is kill or be killed all is fair exploit hacker free for all WvW.

I’d rather see them taken out, having 100 people on your side with 10 of them in a god kitten jumping puzzle doing pve is ridiculous.

They put those puzzles in WvW for a reason if they didn’t want players kill each other there they could have placed it in the normal world

Better solution to removing them would be to make them a separate instance with its own number limit so the number of people in puzzle isn’t counted against the number of people in the main wvw zones.

As for no pvp in there, sorry, they’re in wvw for a reason, harsh that they have achievements linked though if you’re a full non pvper.

You get used to it. Most people are frustrated by it the first few times, but eventually you become numb to it. Anything red = fair game. Bring some buddies if you can’t handle getting killed. If you think borderland puzzles are bad, the one in EB is 10x worse.

oh my god… 2 deaths.. the horror!

look, first of all I love PvP/WvW and PvE the same, I love playing both but when someone tries to farm for the legendary weapons and actually manages to get everything (I haven’t yet, but just saying) and then goes for the badges, which in my opinion is the easiest and most straight-forward to gather, and then some people come and kill you all the time in a place that all players from all worlds come to gather something without a need to kill. Isn’t this just annoying? And yeah some will say “you can go once”, no I won’t go once cause I need 500 badges. I have seen in videos in youtube that some people are not getting hostile in the puzzle of the borderlands, even when I went some did nothing some did just some stupid knockdowns or set traps in jumping points, that’s okay though cause you just drop, you can go back up again but when 2 or more people start hunting you to actually kill you in a place like that well at least in my case, I go mad.

or you can you know.. actually do wvw and follow a zerg and take keeps. you get badges there too. and arguably more than getting owned in jumping puzzle multiple times if you dont have friends to go with you, or just suck.

I want to murder these campers extremely slowly and painfully, for stealing away 20 minutes from my life.. I gotta farm badges from actual fights instead of just jumping around.. At least actual fights are way more fun than jumping puzzles so I’m not truly complaining, just being irritated. Griefers and campers still deserve the worst death though.

Except if I’m with the ones griefing. Then it’s absolutely fun. Schadenfreude at its best.

wads okay you may be right about that but let me ask you something because right we are not talking about only my case or your case but for everyone playing the game. What if the world someone is representing is not that good at WvW or what if on that borderland there is not much activity by his world? Should that person just stop farming badges?

join a different borderland with activity,
find some friends and hunt lone or small groups of enemy players
and iirc, you can get badges from npc defenders too if your world is deserted.

It’s a pvp zone, the only safe spot is inside your spawn. Once you leave you have to be ready to fight at all times.

I had this same problem and the server I’m on is ranked 2nd place. It was a pain to do the puzzle and visit all poi; vistas and skill points. Getting 1shot by thiefs; or ambushed by zergs. To anyone that is considering doing this solo I advice you take off all your armor and runaround the map naked. It will save you loads on repair costs cause death is lurking around every corner.

This is silly complaint. The jumping puzzle in wvw were designed from the start to be fought over. You have many pve jump puzzles to do without any pvp, yet you want the very few with the pvp to be pve as well

I have no problems with the boarderland puzzles. They’re easy.

Eternal Battleground puzzle how ever. The campers don’t care if you’re naked, they’ll still kill you endlessly as they are there to farm badges of honor because they’re awful at getting it any other way in the actual WvW warzone area.

The point of the jumping puzzle is a reward system and an naturual population balance. I know many field warriors(ie those who don’t like the puzzle in WvW) would rather see these players on the battle field fighting, but that’s the entire point of the puzzle. To pull them off the field.

If all sides hold entry point then it’s likely to have an even amount from each side in the puzzle. However, if any side hold 2 points. Then that stops 1 side from letting any of their side in. Thus making sure those fighters are on the field. This also puts more from that one side in the puzzle. If one side holds ALL 3 entry points. Then it’s a safe puzzle which will naturally pull more population in due to it’s safety. This leaves the controlling side to have the least population on the field.

I would like to see it have it’s own instance and not count toward the Queue for WvWvW.

I hope the puzzle collapses in on itself and anyone trapped inside is stuck in an endless loop of map completing Queensdale over and over again for eternity.

Pfft, how about traumanova’s jumping puzzle? Going in with yourself alone will surely get you kitten over and over multiple times by mobs if there’s no one around you, or even the one after the jumping puzzle after Morgan’s leap (?) – It’s the one in 1-15 salvari’s skill point. Trip and fall and you’ll die just to respawn and do double jumping puzzles again. Not to mention the pve one cost money for waypoints

…and why are you there?

I personally quite like the spice it adds to the whole jumpuz experience. Of course, it can be frustrating if you’re on the receiving/losing end, but you can always try again later or bring friends!
