And zoned out again for no reason a couple of minutes ago.
I also keep getting zoned out for no reason, too, and that is really frustrating.
an idea, since this one is split into 3 paths, have an easy, medium, and hard difficulty path. You can reward more ugly sweaters or whatever token is being collected for the event from the harder difficulties, but don’t make completing the hard difficulties necessary for the achievement for the titles.
Thankfully the REAL sources of artificial difficulty from the last puzzle were mostly mitigated this time (lack of visibility due to everyone going at once, and a few blocks which would futz up your camera).
there were no funky blocks that zoomed in your camera, and splitting up people into different groups did help.
I would still recommend making other players on your screen translucent. Visibility issues are an artificial difficulty source. The difficulty should come entirely from the jumps themselves, and the timer. Number one source of falls in this puzzle are all at the beginning when people are obscured by other players
I liked the end with the mortars and rolling snowballs, while still being timed you had something you weren’t expecting, and by that point there’s only 1 maybe 2 people still doing the puzzle so the challenge is entirely derived from the puzzle itself.
I’d say really this was the “easy” maybe somewhere between easy and medium course..
for a hard course, have the candycane platforms move in and out of the columns they’re on, and have snowflakes not be stationary platforms till they disappear but rather falling platforms, the snowflakes continually fall but you have to be jumping on moving platforms while standing on a moving platform, add gusts of wind to the peppermint wheels
Making other players transparent would be a BIG help. I also have one spot where my camera hits the wall on oen of the towers on one of the paths and that trips me up a lot too.
Some people have disabilities, poor hand-eye coordination, etc etc. Such things are NOT the fault of the player.
I’m sorry, but so? Should the entire game be designed to fit the ability level of someone who is disabled?
Adding something like difficulty levels wouldn’t be hard, and would fix a lot of issues people are having.
People need to quit being so damn kitteny and have some empathy for those who are trying REALLY hard to do this puzzle and simply cannot.

Not enjoying it and not being able to do it are two different things. After almost 6 hours of trying now I CAN’T do the jumping puzzle. I don’t dislike it, and I don’t not want to do it. I simply can’t.
5 hours of trying and I still haven’t gotten through it. It isn’t easy for me.
I’d say four hours of trying is pretty patient. I also don’t think it is asking too much to want to complete holiday event things. I still haven’t gotten through the jumping puzzle myself.
I’m with you. I’ve made it to the snowball thing once, presents twice, and they disappear from under me too.
The stupid candy canes almost always get me. I think if I had an extra couple seconds on snowflakes I’d be golden. I get them melting under me a lot. I had one time where I actually made it to the presents, and it disappeared as I jumped onto the first one. Lame.
Three hours of trying and I still haven’t gotten through. Ugh.
Are you holding down the right mouse button as you do it? This will save you a lot of time so that you won’t be pausing after each jump to re-aim (re-position) yourself. You also have to keep moving.
Yep. I’ve made it to the peppermints a whopping 3 times now, and to the snowball once.. then I some how fell off. Ugh.

I’ve actually been having a really hard time with this, because I’m not very good at jumping things. Poor hand-eye coordination I guess. The snowflakes could last a couple seconds longer.
I think being able to do it in a solo instance would be nice, too. It gets distracting with a bunch of people going at the same time.
I like a challenge as much as the next person, but not being able to make it very far is pretty discouraging.
