Guild Wars 2

My connection’s worse I admit, but I haven’t had lag issues on medium graphics. I run the puzzle low as possible to try to help boost all I can…but it is good to know it may not just be a connection thing. I suppose in the same way Sharkmaw Cavern had the instant kill bug that was fixed, they’ll look into and fix what this one may be.

I’ve had the first problem as well, on several occasions and after running the puzzle with a friend, I think I may know the trouble, at the least on my end. It has to do with internet connection speed. On his screen, I was behind and lagging very badly, even while on mine I was ahead of most of the group.

The puzzle seems to start based on who loads first, and seconds seem to be the difference between continuing and being teleported back.

From what I can tell, the teleporting happens when the hands rise out of the ooze and grab you, thus throwing you back to the waiting area. Even though you can’t see it on your screen, you’re behind everyone else, and sadly the green ooze has caught up to you.

—oh um. Also apparently my friend said to wait until the clock face bursts open, when you’re at the top of the final stairway leading toward the tower. I’m not sure if this helps, or if it’s what you’ve been doing all along. I’m afraid I don’t know any of this from personal experience.

I actually do love this puzzle, but sadly it seems that with my internet connection speed, even at it’s fastest the puzzle is sadly impossible. A friend said from his perspective I was behind and lagging quite badly, when on my screen there was no lag and I was even with everyone, if not ahead of most. I’m actually incredibly sad that completing this puzzle seems like just a dream at this point.
