You can take that exact jump BS and shove it up your Mk4 Golem.

It’s almost impossible to try with a 300+ping (the normal from Australia)

I gave it a great go for 4+ hours, between jump pads that fling you up despite being on the rim and not on the pad graphic, invisible walls around the last few pads that again, don’t seem to have a clearly defined edge and the fact that mis-timing the move jump (due to fluctuating ping and responsiveness) results in death most of the time.

I got as far as the top pads where there were blue vertical light beams were before having to concede.

It’s just a frustrating and mostly pointless exercise. so no MasteryPoint for me I guess.

GW2 Marketing Emails broken

Hi guys,

I tried to let your support team know this but they seem hung up in a support-script loop where they want a hyjack-this dump of my PC. sigh My PC isn’t the problem guys……..but where it is located in the world is.

There is a problem with the DNS resolving for the host name referred to by your marketing email that have the “learn more” click through link using http://guildwars2.ncsoft.com/…..

This DNS name only resolves to and IP address if you are in USA, UK & Europe:
http://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/guildwars2.ncsoft.com
(to me this appears like a “split horizon” stuff-up since the Geo layout is precise)

I can fix the problem locally if I set my “hosts” file with
216.54.194.1 guildwars2.ncsoft.com

But really, the guildwars marketing team or whoever looks after the ncsoft.com dns zone records should have a look at this. The marketing emails go out globally but you end up looking silly because there a just “a couple” of people that live outside USA, UK & Europe that could likely want to “Learn More” as your email put it.

Hope this can help you, your DNS admin or your marketing people !
