Atop Phoenix Roost — a symbol of hope for Lion’s Arch — there is a pair of diving goggles and a plank. I’ve tried diving from there and every time I die from it. Often I land on the building itself, sometimes I make it as far as the ground. So far, I’ve never landed in the water.

Basically, you’ve created a tower for people to kill themselves at. The symbol of light and hope = Suicide. I just… I can’t even… no.

Did anyone test this? Why would you do this? I don’t care if there’s some trick to it: inside a completely re-designed, safe city, this particular jump shouldn’t be a death trap. Why would you make something like this. Why. Dragons and Scarlet killing the people of Lion’s Arch apparently wasn’t enough — now the city planners themselves are trying to kill off the citizens.

For the love of humanity, can you please fix this so that regular people jumping in a regular way can experience a fun time and not splatter themselves all over the symbol of life and hope.

I hit the water my first time in the first hour or so it was released. I didn’t know it would be an issue, so I didn’t use any ‘tricks’. Try jumping farther out? Try to aim further out while falling?

I’ve heard the Diving Goggles at the end of some of the JPs are much more difficult.

Still, if the Devs feel it needs adjustments, I hope they fix it for you.

Good luck!

I also managed to do it the first time.
I think the dive in the Not So Secret (Aetherblade) puzzle is much worse anyway. :P

Yeah, I’ve never died jumping from there. You can aim yourself/change directions as you’re falling, so you can avoid hitting some things.

Walk (or rather, run) the full length of the plank, and carry on pressing forward after you jump.

Maybe use a speedboost and have a nice running start and leap off the edge (with pride)?

If you look at the mini map when you’re up there, you can clearly see where to jump – there’s one ‘clear’ area on the S-SW side, jump there
