I did that. It helped. Somewhat. I can't imagine what it would've been like if I was still playing on my craptop that runs the game at 10 FPS. Which, by the way, is another argument I'll make in favour of nerfing these ridiculous requirements: some people don't have the hardware to handle this.
I got to the top about a total of 3 times. Once in 4.0 for the top's sightseeing log, twice in 4.1 for the lamppost. None of this felt like an accomplishment at all.
I feel like putting in these stupid requirements wholly defeats the entire purpose of sightseeing, which is to enjoy the sights. Unfortunately, by the time I actually got to the top of the hostelry, I was so angry and burnt out, that I had absolutely no energy left to appreciate the sight.
I understand a good way to get to the top is marry someone in game who can do it easily and just teleport to them when they're on top.![]()
Only tip, is practice, practice, practice. I play on PS4 with a controller, and it definitely took a lot of practice to be able to know where, and when, to jump just to go up the tower. To get the new vista on the signpost, that took me 5 attempts jumping off.
I couldn't do the puzzle. I'd get most of the way and fall.. so I did what any reasonable person does... I married someone who could jump it and ported myself up! lol (okok, it wasn't the REASON I married him, just a nice side bonus :P)

Hee hee about the only way I'll ever do it. I need to advertise in PF I suppose :P
GW2 suffered from the same problem with many of the jumping puzzles. It was often difficult to understand where to jump from one point to the next because platforms were not easily distinguishable from set decorations. Even if you did know you had to fight with poorly carved out jumping space and dodgy collision on platforms. In the end most of the puzzles felt like exploiting terrain bugs rather than a level in a platforming game.
Pretty much every sightseeing point in the game that requires some sort of jumping component to acquire I don't have. A few, but most of them I just can't reach. I've given up. The jump mechanic in this game is just atrocious. It's not worth the headache, the frustration. I don't like playing angry, and trying to do these jump points makes me angry. I don't even feel a sense of accomplishment when I reach one. If anything my aggravation gets worse, because I feel like I wasted my time trying to get something so frivolous that never should have been that much work.
