Get rid of jumping puzzle in Kugane

[Melichoir]

Im fine with Jumping Puzzles. Im just kind of annoyed with how SE did them. Most Jumping puzzles use the game to define places where you can visibly jump too. Meaning, every day stuff kind of informs you of where youre characters can jump to. But I dont get that vibe so much from FFXIV. So it makes me feel like Im floundering around for ledges to jump to, and having to start all from scratch if I miss.

Also, on some of the ledges, the actual graphic of teh ledge vs what you can jump onto (invisibile platform vs the world geometry) is a bit disconnected. So Id miss a ledge cause the ledge I thought I was gonna land on wasnt as big as it was due to that disconnect in the visual geometry and the platform.

Still

I love jumping puzzles. I want more of them to be frank.

I would really love the option to not see the sightseeing points, or selected sightseeing points. I don’t mind them being there for people that enjoy them, but I don’t like the visual clutter.

I tend to keep up with the sightseeing log, so this doesn't personally affect me, but it would drive me absolutely insane constantly seeing all the glowing auras if I had no intention of doing them. They really should add a toggle to hide the glow.

Can it be fun? Doing it for the destination makes the journey damned annoying. If you're doing it to see the jumping puzzle itself it's fun.

Do I hate it? Yep. The game's jumping controls are not great.

Did I feel accomplished? I accomplished never having to do it again.

Should they remove the puzzle or sightseeing locations? No... But...

Do I think they should fix the design of the jumping puzzles? YES. This jumping puzzle is a feature and a certain level of quality is expected. It should have the same boundaries and take up the same space the rendering shows it to. If you're requiring skill and accuracy from your players make the terrain accurate as well.

And would you treat sightseeing locations as, well, good places to see the sights and not tricksy travel destinations? The lamppost as a sightseeing location is just dirt stupid: being about 15 feet above the ground does not dramatically change the statue or the scenery behind it.

No if anything we need more of these.

ARR was the best set of sightseeing logs. A challenge and something good to look at. HW lacked both of these things.
It's nice to have something to work for and not handed to you on a silver platter.

Except that not everyone plays on a pc/mac, the problem is on consoles in a high populated area, they tend to be really laggy and any bit of lag can cause you to overshoot or undershoot the platform. Besides this is the type of thing that belongs in platforms, action adventure games like Tomb Raider or the likes, not a MMO.

Its actually really badly designed due to hit boxes. If they're gonna put stuff behind something like this can we at the very least make sure that it's well designed?

[Canopia]

if this game wasnt so bad at jumping and hit detection, I wouldnt have an issue with it. but after wasting days and thousands of attempts to get to the top, I finally gave up. this is from someone who did most of the jumping puzzles in GW2.

it's entirely OPTIONAL, if you don't like it you don't have to do it, that's no reason to remove it from the game.

it's entirely OPTIONAL, if you don't like it you don't have to do it, that's no reason to remove it from the game.

Likewise you can also go play a game that has it to your hearts content and not put "optional" content into an mmo that doesn't need said "optional" content. The point people are making is they want to do the content without having to do jump puzzles. There are other ways they can provide content without having to do jump puzzles.

You don't get to decide what optional content does or doesn't get put into the game. That's all subjective. If it was a requirement to get through the main story quest, you may have a point. But it is OPTIONAL side crap.

I think you're confusing content with a completed entry in your log. The content IS the jump puzzle. You're just a completionist who's crying that you can't do the content for your check mark.

It's optional. Move along and pick something more suitable for your skill set and stop advocating for the removal of optional content that others enjoy. They pay the same monthly sub you do.

The entitlement of this generation never ceases to amaze.

Leatherworking guild jumping puzzle is a nightmare. You got two choices for making it 1. dumb luck 2. Be a monk or partied with a monk.
