I’m just disappointed I’m not going to be able to get on Tarnished Coast before the transfer restrictions kick in. I really want to get involved in the RP community. I’m going to have to figure out an alternative to TC quickly.
Even though TC (my server) is often ‘full’, that is usually only so during the afternoon/evening US time and on weekends. If you look in the early hours or first thing in the (US) morning, during the week, transfers are generally not a problem. I’ve given quite a few guildies this advice and they managed to get here.
Since my friends have found guilds that suit them, and so have I, already we don’t want to change. And since we’re in different server parks … my friends and I CAN’T play together. If we’d been told that this was the case from the beginning, we could have tried to find something in the same server park. But we didn’t know that it would be an issue. I’m very, very unhappy about this.
Failing the jumping puzzle will down you and out you back at the start so you can bandage up or try again, or die and skip the puzzle. (If you choose “Retry from checkpoint” after being knocked off the ledge, it will put you past the puzzle.)
I won’t be retrying … I simply won’t be trying in the first place. Sweaty palms, nausea, dizziness, and heart palpitations – or even losing my lunch – for a quest line that includes a jumping puzzle? No.
And bringing a friend to give me stability? It won’t help either, since it’s a phobia and will do nothing for that.
I wish I could just roll back to before that character said that she’d join the Priory and make a different choice. Sadly, it seems I may have to delete her and waste all that time and effort. I won’t make the mistake of choosing Priory again.
I do, however, appreciate the efforts of those who took the time to respond.
So, I had one of my characters join Durmand Priory, because I had every intention of exploring the personal story possibilities of all 3 Orders. I’ve just recently learned that there is a jumping puzzle in the personal storyline for the Priory.
What I’d like to know is if it’s possible to avoid this puzzle? Is there some other choice to make where you can do something else, or not be directed to the puzzle?
I’m really, really bad at jumping, much less jumping puzzles. The reason for this is not just because I’m clumsy and this is something I could practice at or persist at until I succeed. I have a fear of heights, or more accurately, a fear of falling. I simply cannot do jumping puzzles. Even vistas are incredibly difficult and challenging for me if I have to jump. Only the fact that they’re necessary for zone completion forces the completionist in me to do them. I hate that we’re forced to do them in order to finish the zones, and if they get any more difficult in later zones I won’t be able to do them.
Jumping puzzles, though, are completely impossible for me. Does this phobia mean that fully one third of the personal story in the game – the entire Durmand Priory story line – is something I am not able to experience because of this?
This makes me very sad and distressed. I have 11 characters, and none of them will be able to join the priory if this is true. In fact, one already has (as I stated at the beginning of this post), but it seems that I may have to delete them if there’s no possible way to avoid the jumping puzzle.
