Moonfire Faire Jump Tower

[Zwipp]

I'm really happy that the Moonfire Faire Jump Tower returned this year, I think it's really fun and frustrating at the same time. As well as being a good way to pass time.

This year they added the mount prevention debuff, which is a really nice addition because it was already hard enough to see the small pins, especially with all players trying to get up.

However, there is still one more thing that I would've loved to see added in addition to the mount prevention...

And that would be a Silence debeff, which would prevent players from using spells and actions.

This would be to prevent griefing with spell spamming and cheating with the Blue Mage --Self Destruct--> Healer Combo.

And yes, I know you can turn off spell effects in the settings, but there is still the sound and animations which can be annoying when you are trying to jump to a small pin where 5+ Blue/Healers are standing on constantly spamming spells.


I think this would make the tower even more enjoyable and fair over all.
Any thoughts?

No thanks. Waste of developer resources. There's no rewards getting to the top anyways so why bother?

Meh. I won't lie I was annoyed slightly about the mount thing. Only Because I have a friend who is terrible at jump puzzles. Not that I am any better ( I hate you kugane tower I have yet to climb!)

So Last year I used my wedding chocobo to get her to the top. I felt bad for being in the way but it was only once I never lingered. I don't have any issues with the self destruct > Rez combo either. Some folks are really bad at the jumping! If I could get rezed to the top of Kugane tower I would in a skinny minute!

They have already added the mount prevention zone which is like 90% of the work. All they would have to do is add an additional effect to the already existing zone.
Why bother? Well, because it's a fun challenge?

You could also marry someone that is able to climb the tower and use the wedding ring to port to them.

What I would like to see is them fixing glitches in jump puzzles really. When you clearly see you jump right and should reach the zone, but then there is invisible stair and you fall to the whole beginning of the puzzle because of this - it's annoying as hell. Though I know it'll never happen but... doesn't change it's annoyance anyway.

There was a whm yesterday doing holy spam on the last part of the jump puzzle. It was very annoying. I support the addition of silence.

I don't see why people say it is so hard.

I speed ran it on my first try with no falls.

Must be all that Gold Saucer training.

As someone who just wanted to see the god damn view (I cheated). I don’t think silencing everyone would be necessary. After all, it’s just a challenge with no reward. Why does it matter if other people cheat at it?



Plus. It gave Blue Mage a purpose.
