Guild Wars 2

I created a post a while back about just this thing as well as some other improvements that could be made, it’s worth taking a look at if you enjoy jump puzzles as much as I do.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Jump-Puzzles-Post-Suggestions-Here/first#post2473720

I will just throw in my two cents here. I love everything about this update except the liadri and other portions of the gauntlet. These are so bad in fact that I really do not want to play the game after having to blow through 300 tickets to fight a boss who you may or may not have the chance of beating. To beat Liadri you must use skill 5 on your bar and that will hit her ONLY if it’s raining at 63 degrees Fahrenheit on the second tuesday of july during a leap year and your armor must be dyed in this order, green, blue, green, blue, red, yellow. I don’t know if the game developers realize this, but this battle is INSANE!!! It cannot be done on any class without the proper amount of luck, which I simply don’t have the time or patience for, as I said I’m beginning to dislike the game because of this pseudo-challenge you’ve implemented with the last boss. You have made a one sided portion of the game that only certain classes can do and it’s beyond frustrating. I seriously hope this gets fixed and that someone somewhere that can do something about it actually realizes how imbalanced this is and that people are getting severely frustrated, this is the opposite of fun. I can understand a challenge, that was the other npc’s in the gauntlet, the Liadri fight though, it’s impossible without the right amount of luck.

XenusTEHG.1965:

You know what I think? AN can keep untouched or even buffed Liadri, BUT, make her permanent.
There is kitten load of new players, players with job etc. They are people too. Some of them even has legendary crafted by themselfes.

btw not every class can do it and some need expensive gear wich should be farmed in separated time.

Still convinced only a few classes can do this. I’ve blown through 300 tickets on my guard. Still no luck.

JETWING.2759:

Does not change team that is winning.
I think Anet people are very creative. Good luck to them and keep bring more and more jp

I think Ayrilana.1396 has a great suggestion, I agree with it more than the no enemies. An Infantile mode would be suitable, I’ve added this to the OP

@Pixel I added a bit of your information to the OP, I can’t make many more changes to it because I’m limited to a certain character amount.

Thank you for your feedback pixelpumpkin. The achievements could be anything really I was just suggesting getting some sort of a title and make it able to be progressed towards because we have all of these jump puzzles, yet no title to tie to it all. I will add your information to the OP, I have to go to work soon though, so it’ll be later on. Thanks again.

PixelDag.6752:

Trying to sell this sword but the pricing just doesn’t add up..?
Where does the rest of the 3 gold go?

(yes I know I’m poor..)

BLTC has always worked in this manner, the rest of your gold is going to “the tax”. What most people do not realize about BLTC is that this “tax” is broken up into two different parts. You are experiencing some of it in your listing fee and some of it in your profit. You are just now noticing it because on smaller items it isn’t that significant.

I did this just the another night with someone I found randomly. It ended up bugging, but I got around it by trying out the other patterns. There are 11 patterns on the wiki which can be seen here

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Tears_of_Itlaocol

I went through about 4 or 5 of them and voila then it opened for.

Note*** The wiki clearly states that is not all of the patterns, so start getting creative if yours is not in the list. This fixed my issue with it being bugged and I’m on Sanctum of Rall. Good luck everyone.

Hello Shyhalu, I wouldn’t recommend abandoning ship based on those reasons, both necromancer and elementalist are pretty stable classes in my mind. Granted the elementalist has the heals with their water trait. While I love my elementalist, the hardest thing for me to get used to is the fact that you cannot switch weapons, you are locked in with the 1 weapon set you use, yet you can switch attunements. It’s a very different playing style for me in comparison to my thief or guardian.

For party wide heals I would say the elementalist has some pretty good heals with their water attunement, I would say in pve both necromancer and elementalist bring an equal amount of support to your team. No matter what you decide to play, either shouldn’t be too hard to join a party with. Good luck.

Hello everyone, after reading through some of the posts on here about jump puzzles I would like to make a neutral post with suggestions on how they (the big A) could improve upon them. I know this will create some bias in my view, but I love them. I love the newness of a fresh jump puzzle and how sweet that feels when you complete it without a guide, or how awesome it is to find the new jump puzzle on your own without checking the dulfy guide. This is the one part of the game that I can bask in all it’s glory because it is so unique.

Here is a brief Index of my suggestions:

Checkpoints

Add Achievement Tiers

Time Trials

Time Trial Rankings

No Enemies/Infantile Mode
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Checkpoints —- This has been brought up a few times in many of the posts about gw2 jump puzzles. This is the number one biggest issue the people who don’t like jump puzzles have with them. All of your progress is lost. You guys NEARLY had it right in Obsidian Sanctum, I’ve always considered it to have a few pseudo checkpoints. Also I loved the length of Obsidian Sanctum, the pure awesomeness it had when you completed it for the first time, the first night of release, staying in there for 4 hours with your guild, that is a memory of this game I will never forget.

The Objective: To have a safe stopping point that you can resort to so you do not have to restart the puzzle each time that you fall beyond a certain point.

My Suggestion: This ties to making the jump puzzles a bit longer, but if you could have a checkpoint on average every 2-3 minutes of mild to moderate jumping, I think people may change their outlook on them entirely and come to love this unique feature of the game.

How Many: I would really love to have three, but two is also a fair number.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Achievement Tiers —- I believe there is a large enough crowd of people in the game that are drawn to these that you could create some more achievements and even a title, that’s right a TITLE

Completing each jump puzzle without checkpoints could yield additional achievement points, 15 instead of 10.

Puzzle Connoisseur – Complete each jump puzzle once 25 Points
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Time Trial —- People have suggested a hard mode and here were my thoughts. Each day you can complete the jump puzzle, but you can also complete the time trial version of the jump puzzle which would have a separate reward. Notice how I used the word separate and not “better”. This is because despite my enjoyment for jump puzzles I realize for some people this is not a possibility, and this seems most fair.

Each puzzle may have to be a little different, this will take some testing obviously to find an accurate time, but here is how I would do it if I were allowed to make the call:

In this example we will use Pig Iron Quarry jump puzzle

Gold Reward: 15 Silver – Completed Under 1:30
Silver Reward: 10 Silver – Completed Under 1:45
Bronze Reward: 5 Silver – Completed Under 2:00

As I said each puzzle would have to be different, but this would be another incentive for people to do these puzzle and not just forget about them.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Time Trial Rankings

This takes the cake for me. We have our rankings for world versus world, pvp, achievement point rankings, how about jump puzzles? I’m suggesting we would start having a “who has the fastest time” for each jump puzzle and it be displayed on a guild wars 2 webpage similar to the rankings page for the achievement points. I feel this would really motivate people to spend a lot more time in there for the sake of being first. I know I would at least give it a shot.
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————
No enemies/Infantile Mode

No enemies would make this much easier for everyone because we wouldn’t have to deal with the decreased movement speed. Maybe give people the option to play with enemies or not.

Infantile Mode similar to SAB is another suggestion. This would make it easy for players who just want to explore the puzzle or want to practice it without enemies before doing the real thing.

Please consider these and make any suggestions you feel are worthwhile.

For the longest time I too “thought” I was stuck on this achievement. I had received 10 mails before, but they all have to be from players. I know that sounds silly, but here is what I ended up doing, I deleted ALL of my mail, and randomly asked in map chat for people to send me a random mail for the achievement. It’s worth a shot, sounds like a simple solution, and it was, if you consider yourself stuck, you have nothing to lose by trying to get it working.

Alt + PrtScn should do the trick, that’ll get the active window saved. You can run in fullscreen or not and that does work, just tried it out.

Here is of me and my chainsaw skeleton entering Divinity’s Reach so we can slay some dragons!

I have a serious issue with this jumping puzzle. I don’t go here to kill people I go here to do the dang puzzle. I just want to do the puzzle daily and farm the ore, leave me alone! You should not get credit towards player kills in this jumping puzzle it’s sleezy and an illegitimate way to test your abilities. You are seriously low if you cannot find any better way to get your wvw kills than this way.

Firstly I will say that I read a few of the posts previously, but not all, and I believe in volume, the more people posting the same issue the more it’s going to get noticed. This will be one of the most extensive lists of things I find could be changed about the game.

Gameplay:

WvW – I cannot play WvW unless I am one of the richest players in the game unless I play the game mindlessly grinding for hours on end due to the fact I have to repair armor in WvW, seriously? That’s like charging me every time that I walk outside. Why do you have this system setup to where it eats all of your pve funds? I want to play WvW without worry. So this is one of the major issues I have which leads me to direct everyone to the major inner problem, You have successfully created the most amount of gold sinks possible, it’s like gold sink-ception, gold sinks inside of gold sinks & within those gold sinks are more gold sinks. You can stop doing that now because it’s very annoying, traveling to a city should not be a gold sink, I’m sorry, but that is the mostkitten thing I have ever seen.

PvE – Waypoints are disturbing, NO I do NOT want to spend all of the money I just earned to travel somewhere, I’m using the Heart of the Mists at every possible point and I am still losing money because of your love with unnecessary gold sinks, is this here just to make people upset? It really serves no purpose other than that, I feel burdened to help out anyone because I have to spend 3 or 4 silver half the time to get to where they are.

Dungeons: The payoff sucks, can we get a serious reward from completing them? 20 – 30 silver is all that you seriously get for spending time doing those?

Gold sink-ception: Stop with the unnecessary gold sinks, nuff said

Armor skins: Is it unreasonable to ask that they become affordable? 119G for the set of cultural armor, and for the achievement I have to get that 5 different times(once for each race) are you kidding? Either make gold easier to come by, or seriously consider lowering that cost, or very little players will even consider it, all of the minipets combined may be just a tad more than that, that is crazy.

Ingredient storage: I would like to see a storage for ingredients, when crafting or cooking you have all this stuff to make items, but they flood your inventory and bank vault. I am constantly selling these items because I can’t store them anywhere and they become a waste of space.

Guilds: It would be very nice to see when all the members were last online within your gold so you can accurately judge your activity, or at least to have that as an option

World Map: The ability to see what you have done in maps that you are not currently in, if I’m in lion’s arch I want to see my progress in Frostgorge sound.

Crafting: Thank you! You made cooking much less easy. Armorsmithing was quite the gold sink and it’s worth it now, continue tweaking these and making them deeper gold sinks if need be, these should be massive so people will actually buy the services off of people who offer these.

Trophy Items: Please let us salvage these wastes of space since we can’t sell them

Thank you all for the replies, SnowZone your reply helped a lot. I never would have guessed to go to that area, seems a bit out of the way and odd, hopefully others don’t sit there in wonderment too, thank you again everyone.
