Regular keyboard macros don’t seem to be fast enough, need something driver-level or even kernel-level to accomplish this. Some keyboards have their software for this I suppose, but not all – mine doesn’t.
Ouch. I know some keyboards have their own driver software. FYI, it’s an open question whether ANet bans people for keyboard macros or not, so I probably shouldn’t have suggested it. Sorry, used to more respect for players than that and forgot.
aha…so that is why I was having issues. But I still do not think it has been fixed because I missed my leap just shortly before 11:30pm EST while attempting an easy one.
I can normally do jumping with few misses during an easy puzzle and sometimes not too well during difficult ones. But, Monday night around 11:30 pm EST, I could barely leap from one small shelf to a beam.
I normally do not miss these types of jumps but after the patch I was trying to get a standard, uncomplicated vista out of the way in the Celadon Forest area in one of the keeps before logging off for the night. I kept falling, and as I watched closely, it appeared that whenever I hit my space bar to leap, my character just walked – of course missing the jump entirely.

The update to fix the jump problems didn’t happen till around 12:30 EST, so you were still running the bugged build at 11:30.

aha..ok, I’ll check it out later today when I log back into the game. Thanks. :p
bug so epic i told this to a friend who doesn’t even play gw2 and the first thing he asked me is “anyone test those bugs or they just spam random changes?” Ya like wtf?
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
I just dont get how they bug it while they try to improve and while im impressed by Anet’s developers/software engineers as myself one
They weren’t trying to improve it but to eliminate an exploit that involved spamming jump to wallclimb. That most likely involved extra serverside checks and constraints on the jump, one of which caused the problems.
Only had problems with jumping pre-patch, but today yikes!
Half the time I change Attunements it doesn`t work & some skills aren`t firing when I try to use them.
Not tried jumping puzzles yet, daren`t
I don’t know whether the “spam jump” line was among the original patch notes or added to the wiki page later, but I do know that the notes posted in these official forums by an ArenaNet representative and announced on their twitter account do not include it. As far as I’m concerned, that’s the same as them withholding the information. If it had been there, I wouldn’t have spent over an hour in frustrating attempts to solve a puzzle while alternately cursing ArenaNet’s level designers and wondering if my keyboard was failing.
So, ArenaNet, some of us obviously think you screwed up by failing to mention this change in the first place. If we seem upset about it, it’s because your decision caused us to have a really bad time trying to play your game when we would otherwise have simply waited for you to fix the bug you introduced.
Side note for any beginning or aspiring coders in the forum: This is exactly why you include all fundamental changes in your release notes. It helps you find your mistakes faster, and perhaps more importantly, avoids having your users hate their experience with your software.

This.
Within 3 hours of the patch’s release I had found several significant changes not mentioned in the notes. Maybe they think that by not mentioning the fix they can pretend the bug was never there in the first place?
I can confirm that jumping has been completely bugged. I went on one character (human thief) on Sunday to do a jumping puzzle (Breech Wall Point and Vista) and did it in 2 minutes and no falls. Today I was going to try it with a second character (norn warrior), thinking I would know it so well, and no go.
Somehow, I would say that the more jumping I try to do the worse it gets. I almost made it the first try, getting to the skill point. I fell jumping to the vista, and the harder I tried to do the jumping test in one smooth run the worse the jumping got. Now, I can’t make half the height or half the distance I would expect during normal play with the thief character.
I don’t want to log onto my thief: I’d be peeved beyond words if it’s jumping was pooched too…
So I went on tonight, caught the Claw of Jormag with my theif just as it landed….
Afterwards I tried going onto my Norn Warrior to finish the Breech Wall Jumping (logged out half way up) and it was still messed!!! All of a sudden another player gave me a speed boost and then jumping was “fixed” after that, even after the boost wore off.
However, I do notice that walking to a vertical surface extending UP infront of the character and trying to jump up to a ledge above, that vertical jumping height is still only 75-80% of what it was. I tried it back on my Thief and the vertical jump height at an upwards vertical edge is still not right IMO.
I actually was able to do a vista that required some complicated jumping today that I was unable to do yesterday. However, I did notice a standing jump up did not quite get me up the block I normally would have made. I ended up going to a side portion of the wall and taking a running leap in order to get up.
Made it that way, but so many of the jumping needs are just a stand and jump up kind. Not having the requisite height allowed in the jump is a real problem when you do not have an alternative.
Is this still happening ? Or am I having a couple of really bad weeks at jumping ? Especially in the WvW jumps, I’m failing a lot at jumps I could make easily before.
Very frustrating !
