New leap of Faith is trash

[Packetdancer]

leap's my fav game, sorry. i like it.

While I agree with you and really quite liked the new map, I also recognize that those of us who actually enjoy jumping puzzles may be in the minority. And also possibly insane.

(I mean, I willing climb Kugane Tower and jump down to the lamppost multiple times while waiting in party finder, and I spent the final tier of Eden doing my raid crafting on top of that tower, so...)

I will admit there's some weird hitboxes, though... and this is "weird" by the standards of someone who climbs Kugane Tower enough that I know exactly how far out into the air I can stand on a given post. Specifically, there were some landing spots where it seemed to catch me on the edge, leave me standing there for a moment unable to move forward, and then slide me off into space. I'm just not currently sure if that's hitbox weirdness, the-servers-need-some-tea-and-a-nap weirdness, or intentional design.

The Slice Is Right is the best mini-game in Gold Saucer according to almost everyone. Why can't they make more stuff like this?
Wake up dev team, it's time to try new stuff and stop recycling contents.

I play on PC and have found that the jumping puzzles are easier to do with a controller. That's how I made the Kugane tower climb.

I mean, Im pretty sure the only reason they added the new leap of faith is to fill out the last course map to coincide with the Black Shroud starting city.

Havent you noticed that the previous 2 courses were situated in La Noscea and Thanalan?

Granted its baffling that it took them almost a decade to complete the trio lol

Funny you say that, given that The Slice is Right is blatantly recycling Hashmal's tower mechs and existing character models.

Recycling is fine as long as they're recycling fun and interesting content. I want to see them reusing more boss battles like that.

Slice is Right is awful.

Seconded. There's definitely some weirdness going on with some of the hitboxes/landing spots.

Furthermore, I'm not sure if it was such a good idea to put upside-down pinecones as platforms: it's very hard to determine (blind trial and error excluded) where exactly you can land on those things.

As someone already pointed out, having a checkpoint system (or 20 minutes to complete) might actually make the map more tolerable. I'd still want some of those hitboxes re-evaluated, though.

I like the new map. It's fun, colorful, and a welcome challenge. Though if we got a completely different mini game instead that would also be fun.

I like the new map. It's not super amazing, but something nice and new to add a little bit variety to leap of faith.

I hope this feature did not cost us a raid tier /s

And recycling leap of faith and treasure maps are the worst form of recycling that they kept doing for years now.

Should've add jump puzzle/slice is right inside treasure maps instead for variety.
