I hate it. It's ridiculously hard to land on such a small area. I have slid off no less than fifteen times now. The area either needs to be slightly bigger so as to be more forgiving, or it needs to be moved. It really should not be THIS hard to land on this.

Yeah... I've completely ignored it so far. First time through there, saw it, noped out. I'll get to it eventually, but, just... ugh.

Wait till you do the one that's the same way in the crysterium! 8D

It's rough, but doable. And I suck at any sort of jumping stuff in this game (I much prefer the jumping mechanics in GW2). It just takes a bit of narrowing down of where to jump and for how long. I slid off a bunch, but eventually got it.

It's not that hard. Plus worst case just Blu kill yourself and have someone raise you on it that can do it. The one in the Crystarium is much worse.

But neither of those are worse than the one you have to jump off Kugane tower to get to.

My partner did this so I could help him get it. Even when I raised him he slid a bit which was weird, but he didn't fall off.

Just be happy its not Kugane Tower. So it could be much much much worse.

See, at least Kugane tower is engaging because it varies itself. This is mindlessly run around and jump down.

The crystarium one was easier for me, I actually went all the way to the top of the tower and walked (used the keyboard input to lock my character in "walk mode") off the edge above the vista. It did take several attempts to figure out the exact point, and even had one instance where my character landed on the point but slid off slightly so I was outside the vista range... and when I attempted to correct I then slid off completely. At any rate, both of these are way easier than Kugane Tower madness.

Kugane tower takes much more effort into doing, unless you're one of those people that can climb it in 2 minutes on youtube. The one you're complaining about is literally weaksauce compared to it. This is literally a non-issue.

I'm a bit torn. The Kugane Tower had more to it but at the same time, it was more painful because if you failed the last couple jumps you had to do go through more work to get back to where you failed.

I got this one on my second attempt...it wasn't hard at all (for me).

....I still don't have Kugane tower to this day.

That one took me ~3 tries. Its significantly easier if you run along the ledge a little ways.

None of the current vistas are anywhere near as bad as Ixali Logging Grounds or one of the 1 hour window ARR vistas though. Ixali can die in every fire imaginable.

I climbed to the top floor, walked right over the edge and fell on the vista... it was stupid easy to repeat.

I dunno, that wasn't my experience at all

I got the Crystarium run in like three tries without even needing to Sprint

Could not get the Eulmore one... must have tried like 30 times. Spent ages. Had a healer try to res my BLU... It didn't work, it'd res me half inside the pillar and I'd slide down to the floor. Gave up and haven't gone back since.

Try Jumping for the level below where you are in that pic OP and use your sprint.

This is easier than you think. Eulmore one I did it the 1st day I unlocked it and it took 5 tries. Chrystarium took me 7 tries, but not hard either. Just get your aim right, then gauge when you should jump depending if you’re under jumping or over jumping.

Exact same for me. Like every part of this.

So for this i jumped off the platform right below that catwalk, the one that has the aethernet crystal, took a couple of tries but that's how i got it.
