I did this with my guildies almost three hours. It was super fun. But I have to admit I super suck at jumping, and at the end I really had to make a break, because I felt I'd die of adrenaline poisoning. Man, my hands were all wet, because heights in computer games make me as dizzy as real heights. +__+

Well, I never liked GW, tried GW2 on the 4days trial and while it was better, still wasn't my cup of tea.
But this video... If they'd make this permanent and not only a 1month event, I will buy GW2 just for goofing around inside this Adventure box great stuff.
Tried it. Didn't enjoy it. The jumping puzzles, as always, are overtuned and next to impossible to do without a lot of luck. You spend a LOT of baubles on continue tokens, which reminded me of why I hated arcades in the 80's. It's the virtual equivalent of a quarter muncher. Maybe towards the end of the month, after I have a billion bubble baubles, and can afford a few continues, I'll try again and hope to make it through without falling to my death repeatedly, but the effort was interesting. I can't say I didn't enjoy everything, but the jumping... Ugh, the jumping. Give an old guy a break. Enough with the overtuned timing jump puzzles. We get it. You like making up swear at the computer. But those sort of things only work well on consoles because you can predict how fast the machine will run and thereforehow much latency to expect. Online... not so much, so it isn't fun or doable for some systems or networks.

I feel ya, I have the same problem. Well, partly it's just the fear of having to do it all over again, but I am wicked-scared of heights too.
Eh, never liked platforming games myself, I just find it odd that an april fools joke is a reality in game, kinda defeats the purpose of the joke part.

you only need a single person in your group to make it to the flutes.. if they do you can die and it will port you to them if you are having a lot of issues with some jumping.. so far most have been pretty easy compared to the regular jumping puzzles imho.. the halloween and wintersday jumpining puzzles were a lot harder as well.. although i haven't beaten this so it may get harder later on jumping wise..

That's the joke of it all. The joke is that some people will think it's a joke when it isn't.
I am so going to get that great sword skin for WvW.
AH - WvWvW is more packed than ever because of rank, no culling, etc. Please ACTUALLY RESEARCH YOUR TOPIC before posting.
I agree. I have played this game again recently pretty hard and I am still put into overflow on my server because there are too many people in the game and this is even in lower level zones. For some of the boss fights there were tons of ppl there still in those zones. When I queue for WvWvW there is still a queue time to get in.... so..... yeah... the game is far from dead.

12500 baubles for a skin, good luck with that, I done it for 10 mins and got bored.
Then the fans tell you its not a grindy game to obtain anything, aye ok.

Nothing hard about it, suppose to be 5 man instance so how is it hard if I can solo it? its grindy but not hard. Seems you read what you want to read and make up the rest as you go along, said I got bored after 10 mins, a bit different from what your trying to qoute me as saying.

I love gw2 and still play it, but honestly , this is not my style. I dont like retro and i dont even find this dungeon fun. I would way more apreciate if they would add new fractal than this. I played games in 8bit era and i'm glad we moved on :P.

you only need a single person in your group to make it to the flutes.. if they do you can die and it will port you to them if you are having a lot of issues with some jumping.. so far most have been pretty easy compared to the regular jumping puzzles imho.. the halloween and wintersday jumpining puzzles were a lot harder as well.. although i haven't beaten this so it may get harder later on jumping wise..
