Trolls End (broken)
Technically that is not the first jump. You need to go up and fall down a hole.
That part you’re referring to is actually an unintended shortcut that many players were using to bypass the first part (well, technically the second part) of the JP. It may be that ANet has stealth-fixed it so you can no longer bypass the part where you need to climb up a shaft and drop down onto the first of the stone platforms.
I always assumed this was the correct way to do the jumping puzzle XD now I have to go find this bloody shaft. I hate ninja fixes, it would not be so bad if they just told people that the puzzle was not being completed as intended >:( grr.
Well after trying it the “correct” way I can say this gets shifted into the annoyingly frustrating category, a single fall now instead of taking a few steps back and trying again it requires you to go the full way around each time and with its cramped nature this just makes it worthless; before I liked to do TE every once in a while as it was not too bad but now I don’t think I’ll ever bother with it again. Great ninja update :/ If they are worried about people farming puzzles then they should just set JP chests to open weekly, very simple.
Didn’t even know this shortcut existed…did it the right way all the time.
