Jumping Puzzles

Please no more jumping puzzles! The mountain in FFXI in Attowah broke me of jumping puzzles for good! Every week the endless climb and the many ways you can fall gracefully broke my characters neck on a regular basis.

I feel leave jumping puzzles to GW2.

Those insane, ceaseless jumping 'puzzles' are the reason I left GW2. Just not my thing.

Devs did a pretty good job of putting in a jump in 2.0, but making it pretty much cosmetic only, keeping the antijumpers happy. This is probably the only compromise in the history of MMOs in which all parties are at least not flaming angry anymore. Let's not restart this war.

Wait, you quit GW2 because of something that had absolutely nothing to do with anything other than some exploration achievements? That seems pretty shallow.

99% of the jumping puzzles weren't actually "puzzles." It's not really a puzzle when the path is linear.

Jumping or not, I want a real puzzle in this game, be it a proper labyrinth (no minimap, etc.) or some mini-game. Anything that requires more than a second's worth of thought. The closest thing to a puzzle that I can remember was the coloured buttons in Sastasha, which frankly is quite sad.

No. Just no.

Go play The Secret World and do the jumping missions in Transylvania.

If you manage not to smash your computer in frustration, let us know how you feel about jumping puzzles after that.

The Cost of Magic is fun, and for people who aren't coordinated at jumping in the game, you can still get someone else to get credit for you by grouping with that person. :P

Few things are as hilarious as making the vampires charge through a mined platform to get to you, clearing a path for you to just walk right on through. Waiting to heal up after poison dips is minorly annoying though.

We have one in FFXIV already. In Camp Tranquil, as a WHM you have to anticipate the lag to jump to the platform to get the job quests.

If not jumping puzzles, then at least more places where we can use jump for exploration goodness. invisible walls and false platforms are not my thing.

Mesmer porting in Camp Tranquil for tips.

You'll find however you're incorrect.

Thanks for proving my point lol.

I really enjoyed the clocktower jumping puzzle in GW2 for the halloween event. I never understood why people complained about jumping since I could do it with ease but I don't know if that's just a good connection or whatever... I've never had any lag issues in Titan, either.

However, I don't think such things would work in FF14 with the way the server records your location in-game. It might work for a small portion of players, but the majority will fail due to lag.

Would be nice, however it seems silly to add it now. Only way to add it reasonably would be into dungeons, but I'd never set foot in that dungeon. I remember the last game I played that included this in story-mission dungeons... Only game I ever ragequit. So tired of falling through platforms and landing in Lava...
