While it is true 90% of SF players in JP attack the moment they see you, it usually doesn’t matter as 90% of SF players in the JPs are terrible/inexperienced. I bet their main forces won’t even miss the 10-20 people they often have in the EB puzzle at all. Just a day or so back for example, I remember some SF guild [CDH] or something like that trying the usual antics with me in the jumping puzzle, and me literally massacring them in groups of 2-4 a two or three times in rapid succession til I had amassed 16+ full level 80 kills(literally not one of them was down-leveled.) with only one death to them in the EB jump puzzle, and this as a laggy 10 fps glass cannon ranger. In the end I still got to finish the puzzle, and got to bathe in Sorrow’s… sorrow. It got so bad that when I was running towards one of them near the edge above the water, they literally opted out, jumped off the cliff, but somehow died anyways.
What’s the moral of the story, that I’m just that good? Nah, its that the SF that typically funnel into the jumping puzzles are just that bad. Half of them are probably PVE players that are spending their first time in PvP ever, so there’s really nothing to stress out over with most of them.
ET however, or at least KWBH is cause for concern in there. Thankfully they don’t attack you most of the time, because when they do you know finishing the puzzle will become much more difficult if they do.
I lag in there too, for some reason the EB jp and the bandit cave in Queensdale make my computer go crazy.
As far as KWBH attacking in the jp goes, I normally tell my guys to knock that kitten off cause 98% of the time the dues are paid in doubles. But the few times I’ve done the EB puzzle without a mesmer and Fergs were in there, they’ve invited me to a party and helped with the puzzle and such and we’ve had some good conversations.
haven’t been to WvW today I’ve unfortunately been hugging kittens and looking for unicorns in Orr -_-
