Alright guys, here's the thing: when all was said and done I actually liked this jumping puzzle. I got myself the position rewinder and far from being tedious, it was actually a lot of fun. But here's the rub: those diving goggles? Complete malarkey. Yeah you heard me. See, I had to complete this puzzle 9 times to successfully pull off that jump. The amount of crap in your way as you fall, which will instantly kill you if you hit it, combined with the fact that you can't even see anything makes this diving point so close to impossible that it took me 9 tries to get, with a guide. I shudder to think how long it would have taken if I hadn't looked up just exactly where to stand and face to fall in the right direction. So here is my constructive criticism: the way I see it, one of two things can be done. Either place a checkpoint right at the goggles so you don't have to start over if you screw up (and remove the stupid sight-blocking wall), or remove at least some of the obstacles on your way down (and remove the stupid sight-blocking wall).

Just admit it. Just say, "hey there's nothing we can do". It's not a secret that everyone is having problems, and at this point it's obvious you either can't or won't fix it. The bare minimum you can do is acknowledge the problem. Literally, bare minimum.

The problem with the red zones is how they interact with movement abilities, and particularly mounts. Being one misclick away from erasing as much as 40 mins of progress for some missions doesn't make sense, especially when sucking and dying 5 times in a row doesn't even reset the boss fight. If you accidentally use the rapor move ability in the wrong direction, for example, you are immediately dismounted and kicked before being given a chance to get back.

Yeah I really loved getting put in a public party with a grand total of four people including me, having to do absolutely ALL of the events because my groupmates didn't get it, and then getting to the final boss and having it be boring and tedious because two guys went AFK and made breaking his CC bar impossible. I just left because I didn't feel like taking the next hour of my life gathering scrap and ammo and pressing "1" repeatedly. This is a hard skip, and doing more of this in the future would be a great way to stop me from bothering with story content. Thanks Anet, brilliant job.
