Sorry for bad quality. I have so much fun with the new rocket boots!

I wonder if we can skip some interesting things now with this super jump?! Dungons? Fractals? Open world? Any idea? =)

This is so going to be nerfed!

This is why we can’t have nice things someone always has to go post em on forums for the inevitable nerf :/

Points for a creative use of these new skills.

wow, it looks cool but this sadly won’t last.

That is the first thing, related to the engineer, that has made me smile in months.

whoa okay that was awesome.

That was great. Hope it does not get nerfed.

LMFAO I’m trying this now

Y U post it -.-

LOL awesome!

Hope that it won’t get nerf ’d. Really like that,
in the combination with the new jump shot.

It probably won’t get nerfed. Why? It’s quite simple: That isn’t overpowered. It is awesome.

There’s a difference. A small one, but there is a difference.

Um yeah, that’s getting fixed.

I hope ANET considers keeping this though. This doesn’t seem too broken, but it’s just plain awesome,g iving the engineer a completely new role!

It’s funny because we all know Anet will nerf engis rather than fix their maps…

i dont think that is going to get nerfed, actually. i mean, really, how many other places is that a truly viable option?

Yes, obviously, because going over the entire game world and “fixing” anywhere this would allow access where players aren’t supposed to have access would be a colossal waste of time and have the exact same effect.

How ‘awesome’ would this be if it didn’t allow access that’s otherwise impossible? …not very.

Its only one spot. Its not like the world is covered in places characters absolutely cannot go but now can bc of this ability. Overexaggerate much?

You’re sure about that, are you? All the areas in the game, all the keeps and towers in WvW, all the jumping puzzles, there’s nowhere a little extra range will let players bypass something? That’s a pretty risky bet, and one I wouldn’t take.

Have they hotfixed it already? I tried doing it off a ledge for fun, but I just dropped straight down after hitting the normal landing point of the leap.

you can jump over the blue team wall in foefire doing this :/

Wait, and get INSIDE the enemy base?

No, on the hill between graveyard and blue base wall, you can rocket boost from the highest point over the wall.

WHY WOULD YOU NERF SOMETHING SO AWESOME???!!!

Man i tried this yesterday for 15 minutes straight. Never made it. However i was on the opposite plattform, so maybe it doesnt work from there.

Please dont nerf our rocket boots.

Will it be fixed? Who knows.

But im pretty sure i can top that with Jump Shot-bug. And thats something thats een around since release and was never an issue.
So im gona guess that they wont make a big deal about this.

There’s worst things.

this.

Well done mate. /Ironie

they should nerf mesmer Portals in jps before they nerf this.

Doesn’t seem like Super Speed was intended to make Rocket Boots travel farther, so I’d imagine they’d just fix it so it didn’t in order to nerf this.

Girl’s got the jumps.

what map is it?

Assassin.7890:

WvW JP. You need to go there for one of the Aetherblade Caches: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Obsidian_Sanctum

Nice video. Do you just need to use the rocket boots skill or do some other timed jumping? I want to try this too?

Edit: First using super speed then rocket boots if I saw it corretly? Is an additional “normal jump”(like hitting the jump button midair – don’t know if thes even works) needed too?.

Edit2: And post this video in the German forums too. Lol. ;-)

Quick! Take the video down before “they” see!

For me… at least from the southern platform it did not work. Did anyone try from the southern platform? But still a nice combination of 2 skills.

Bump. So more people can hear about it!

FTFY

I would be very disappointed if they nerf rocket boots. It gives us a viable escape. Compared to all the leaps and kitting mechanisms that the other classes get, we really deserved this.

I don’t see them nerfing the actual range. Only reason this trick worked is because it can be used with Super Speed from Slick Shoes. It’s a mechanic that works with all leaps in the game. If Warriors had access to 2x movement speed they’d be able to do it with Savage Leap.

If anything, they’ll just nerf Super Speed so that it simply grants Swiftness.

Phineas Poe.3018:

Wouldn’t make that much of a difference out of combat, really, if what was discussed in another thread today is accurate and Super Speed is only marginally faster than Swiftness out of combat anyway.

That said, I could see them changing Super Speed to keep its current speed modifier when used in combat, but grant Swiftness (maybe for a longer duration, add 2-3 seconds on there) when used out of combat.

Can you not range those things? I don’t see why the nerf cries. i remember seeing arrow carts on those ledges before

This is AWESOME. I love the new boots… I strapped em on, ran into WvW and could NOT be happier.

So yeah, this is gonna get nerfed.

Lol why you guys post vids or something like that ? And then, when they fixed it, you guys are crying….

Phineas Poe.3018:

Well Super speed is not actually double speed, despite what the description says. In fact super speed on its own is rather underwhelming. It’s barely better than swiftness.

All I need is the jetpack backpiece.

Yea, see… this makes rocket boots actually useful. The fact that they gave engineers something that is actually useful immediately tells me it was unintended and will be nerfed.

Enjoy it while you can- they won’t be like this for very long.

Has anyone tested wether the superjump works with the Toolkit Kit refinement as well?

these suspision all day long … just be happy and enjoy rocket boots

Yeah. I have that. It looks amazing with the new TP steampunk gear that I colored to match my Dragon Jade pistol/shield.

You’re welcome, ANet. It was totally worth it for this patch.

played until this morning and now im away from the game for the next 5 days.
I hate you all because someone figured it before me, because you all may try it now except me and of course because some one had to create atopic.

; (

Don’T be sad Kontrolle: did I say that u can skip the hole jp? There u go, figure it out!

You also have to remember it gets kittened if youre slowed or chilled so its an even trade off
