I’ve read through all the comments so far and am glad to see that I’m not the only crazy one around with this Idea… Or the Idea of randomly jumping of the City-Cube.

I was also thinking along the lines of a jumping challenge, probably because I’m quite fond of them. (I’d also like to believe I’m quite good at them.) My idea was to perhaps jump up the inside of the city cube, with various stations, and obviously some chests.

Then at the end of the jumping Challenge you have the normal Grand/Superb chest. I would however make this chest visible from the normal Rata Sum area, just to pique peoples interests, and perhaps even add in a NPC who tells you that you have to access the chest from ‘Outside the city’.

My friend has added a link to the video in the comment above, and I apologize for the low quality, but we’re not really accustomed to doing videos.

Kosai, I’m liking your idea of having a hidden bit in each of the major cities, I like getting the Tyrian Explorer rewards and stuff, and I think this would make cities much more fun, as currently their is very little need for them, apart from Black Lion trading, and simply exploring the map.
I’d also like getting other peoples ideas on what they would want in these areas, Jumping challenges, Dungeons, Mini-games, Puzzles etc?

Please continue to leave comments.
Thanks,
Ian.

While in Rata Sum, the Asuran Capital, I had a small amount of free time on my hands. Being awesome, I decided to see if I could slide off the edge of the City-Cube; and preferably survive. After “several” attempts (5 or 10 minutes) I managed. However I landed and instantly died. I then took a new approach and managed to Land in the massive lake below Rata Sum.

I died in mid air falling towards the lake. Had I not taking this unexplained damage, probably the course of the “world edge”, I would have landed in water and survived.
(I will take a video of this, and put a link in a comment ASAP)

Frankly, I thought this was awesome, and instantly had the idea of a hidden map section, below Rata Sum. Accessed by perilously sliding yourself over the edge of the City-Cube and into the lake below.

I would love to get peoples’ view on this, and hopefully, eventually have ArenaNet add in this secret area.

Please Leave comments, saying whether you’d like this, and what your’d want in it.

Thanks,
Ian.
