Guild Wars 2

I don’t understand how people are whining about this jumping puzzle, too. This one is about a dozen times easier than the clock tower by far. It took me about 2 or 3 hours to finish the clock tower, but this one I beat in probably 4 runs.

The jumps are easy and obvious, and the timing is very forgiving. I don’t even ever see any snowflakes disappearing because they stay up so long.

If you can’t do this jumping puzzle then just accept the fact that you aren’t very good at them and move on with life. There isn’t anything which says you’re required or entitled to complete every single thing in the game.

I’m sure this has been suggested before, but I would like to reiterate that it would be great if we could get a refund for “expensive” items within a certain timeframe of purchase, and in the same currency that was used to purchase it.

For example I just accidentally purchased two items from the Tier 1 karma merchant, in total about 20 thousand karma wasted. It would be great if there were a small window of amnesty that would allow you to return the item to the vendor for a full refund of your karma, gold, candy, or whatever else you used to purchase the item with.

The window wouldn’t be long of course, anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour or so would be fine, and if you don’t return it by then it will obviously be something you’re stuck with.

If this is not possible then at the very least a confirmation window for expensive items which asks if you’re sure you want to purchase it would also be great.

My mouse (which I’m now about to tear apart to fix it) has an issue with clicking multiple times with a single click. I was attempting to preview an item only when I clicked preview, it actually bought it instead. This of course is in no way Arenanets fault, it simply prompted the idea of a better refund system.

No way I was going to read everything in this thread, first page and last comment before I replied.. MrMT summed up what I was gonna say. So I’ll be redundant

Let’s take off our gamer goggles once in a while, and accept that, like in real life, we simply do not have the ability to do everything. I do not rage and get depressed because I can’t run a 4 minute mile. Likewise, I cannot do a lot of stuff in game because I run on a laptop using a touchpad instead of a mouse. I am not skilled. period.
So I accept that and try things first, then if it is apparent there is no hope, I move on. Instead I’ll watch a video of someone who makes it look easy and pretend it was me!

Too many people use games to feel like they are superhuman, and that’s great, maybe even the point, but sometimes you just have to be realistic. Maybe you really aren’t superhuman. Relax. I won’t tell anyone.

Just wanted to say Kudos to you.

That’s a very mature way of looking at things, and I truly wish we had more people in this community like yourself.

You forget, it’s childsplay to inflate a market, but nearly impossible to bring those numbers back down to something more grounded in reality later on.

It was easier to make money hand over fist in GW1, you are correct about that, however you also have to look at the repercussions of that as well. Most transactions other than the most basic items couldn’t even be traded with actual currency anymore because of how broken everything was after a while.

Since each individual transaction is limited to 1000 platinum, people resorted to using Ectoplasm, Zaishen Keys, Armbraces, etc as a player created currency.

Anet wants to avoid such massive inflation by making things a bit tough early on then slowly raising the bar a bit until things stabilize and they have the numbers where they want them.

Actually I think it looks pretty good, and I in fact get many compliments from strangers and people whispering me asking what I’m wearing.

Good lord, when did people get to be so overly dramatic about everything?

Look folks, it’s pretty simple: If you don’t enjoy it then don’t do it. There is so much to do for the Halloween festivities, and the clocktower is just one of them.

If you’re getting frustrated or you’re feeling like you just can’t make it, then that’s fine. All you have to do is find something else to do.

Why do you feel like you either HAVE to complete it, or that you’re entitled to completing it? It isn’t required for your title, and the boots are nothing great. Move on with life.
