Guild Wars 2

Hi,

I have been trying to get into the shops under the poison waterfall in tribulation mode. I don’t even know how many times I have tried and I always die instantly when i hit the waterfall. I see the door open, but I die anyway. I got in once but forgot to get the shop under the first one. Anyone know why it’s not letting me back in? Anyone else having this issue too?

It depends on your latency, character race, and how you do the jump. It’s possible but a pain.

Yup. Have seen many complains about this one. And the usual reply is: keep trying. Most people take 20-30 tries before they get in. If you get a moment of lower latency by luck, you get in.

20-30 tries. Yes.

He is talking about 20-30 trips to moto ;p

Server/character sync is just basically nonexistant through out most of SAB. If you have just slightly above 100ms, you start to encounter all kinds of neat bugs like dying to the poison on any mushrooms near poison water. Here though, the exploitative “dodge jump” seems to help immensely . It seems like most of SAB just wasn’t play tested hard enough. A test server for patches would be nice. Then they could actually see how latency affects these things and maybe they could clear up exploits and bugs before they make everyone angry like this one.

This bugged the hell out of me as well. I like tribulation mode largely because you can overcome almost everything through a combination of skill and memorization. Buggy bits like the waterfall on the other hand are just a matter of banging your head against the wall until the stars align and for whatever reasons things just magically work out. I feel much the same way about the thwomp rocks, particularly the gauntlet in 1-1. I’m really hoping that when world 3 comes out we’ll see a reduction in elements made drastically harder due to relatively minor latency issues.

Asura here and I got in immediately after reading this post. I’m 99% sure it was just luck, but I’m going to pretend that simply reading this post helped. THANKS!

I’m not going to specify how many attempts it took, but let’s just say I wasn’t really regretting the infinite coin purchase.
