    Jumping puzzles in Shadowbringers?

    So I was looking at the pre-release screenshots and noticed something in this pic from Amh Araeng:



    The big structure in the back appears to have maintenance spikes like Kugane Tower. I had an interesting and potentially frightening thought: what if they decided to one-up Kugane Tower by having one of the aetherial currents for this zone requires traversing a tricky jumping puzzle here?

    They wouldn't do that.
    Evidence: They put all aetherial currents next to the MSQ route and mostly easily available just hidden behind a cliff or a mountain but never something complicated like a jumping puzzle.

    To many people would miss out on flying in this area until they relocate the aetherial currents to make it easier for stragglers.

    The one up on the bridge in the lochs zone was a pain.. No jumping skill needed, but it was a real terrain puzzle though.

    Any jump puzzles in overworld zones could be easily circumvented with mounts though. Just need that first person to get it, then ferry 3 ppl, then they can each ferry 3 ppl, and so on.

    Just no, hell please no. no jump puzzles for anything significant ...........
    I hate them, despise them
    and what is the point of putting one in if you can just use a flying mount
    If i want to do jump puzzles i go play a platformer game.
    The one putting a jump puzzle in this game to progress anything deserves to find a horsehead in his bed!

    They actually MOVED several of the HW Aether Currents because folks complained they were to hard to get to (spoiler: They were not too hard to get to). The idea that they'd put one behind a jumping puzzle is pretty unlikely. Maybe if they made the jump puzzle stupidly easy, but even then I find it to be quite unlikely.
