Do you want more Jumping Puzzles and Mini Dungeons in the coming Saga?

[WhatLiesBeneath.9018]

I've been missing stumbling upon Jumping Puzzles and Mini Dungeons while I'm exploring maps. The closest thing we got recently are the dwarven ones in PoF and Thunderhead Peaks.

How about you?

[Knighthonor.4061]

Should have polled these separately. I want more Mini Dungeons but don't want more Jumping Puzzles. Hate those.

Thats what the other is for, I was going to, but then there would be loads of options for each.

Yeah, i enjoy both things. Sadly the current JPs and mini-dungeons aren't really rewarding.

[Danikat.8537]

Doesn't have to be in every map and certainly doesn't have to be crazy-long and difficult like the one in Ember Bay, but yes I'd love to see more jumping puzzles and/or mini dungeons.

I really enjoyed the dwarven one in Desert Highlands. It took me 3 or 4 nights to get through it all, and I ended up doing all the weapon collections while I was down there. My favourite part was when you had to jump down the black pit into the lowest room. My first impulse when I walked in was to jump down the hole to see what would happen, but I made myself check carefully to make sure there wasn't another option because I didn't want to mess the puzzle up. I don't know what I was expecting when I finally jumped down, but it certainly wasn't that.

So true. I wish there could be some kind of maybe currency tied to those to get a armorset or weaponset? It would be so cool. Love special rewards like that tied to specific things ?

I don't care as long as the content provided has a compelling story and world design, is fun to play and atmospheric, and has replayability value. I can live fine with or without JPs and dungeons.

[Keriana.9635]

Not a fan of jumping puzzles.

[Charrbeque.8729]

Technically not a mini dungeon, I always liked the plate rooms in Thunderhead Keep. I'd like to see more of that in game, but without having to complete 2 meta events before you can enter it.

Jumping puzzles? Sure. As long as they're not super long like the one in Draconis Mons.

[Astrolicus.3716]

I don't like dungeons, but I REALLY want new jumping puzzles!

Oh yesss, those kind of puzzles, or others for that matter, are totally my cup of tea. More of them! :)

[Leablo.2651]

It depends. I would like to see more navigation/logic puzzles, more in the style of PoF and minidungeons. The traditional JPs of Tyria, which rely on geometry and collision traps as the primary challenge, I can do without. Though if they want to make JPs in the style of a real platformer, and not faux-retro rage platformers, that'd be a welcome addition too.

[Liston.9708]

Not for me. But I know many like them. Hate that they are collections for legendary weapons

[Luthan.5236]

Absolutely. Still playing the core game only. And when after my looooong break I did Silverwastes and Drytop I really liked them. Trying the other ones from expansions and later Living Story "as intended" (should mounts be allowed and not disabled earlier than PoF stuff I won't use them there and max the glider that was available when it got released originally).

Back then at release when I played a lot I started to like them - when I discovered them first by accident (when one was at the same place as a vista). First thought vistas were JPs. Then I looked and found that some other places where you usually don't normally go where JP and even hard ones. Later the SAB. All great stuff.

But please: No stuff like coins and badges (from Silverwastes/Drytop) - don't know how much that got used later in other areas where I haven't yet been. Pretty annoying such "collection grind". Better some decent hard jumping puzzle instead of small stuff. (Tons of small stuff requiring collection + jumps - though they might be easier with mounts and they probably wouldn't disable mounts for each single small item.)

For me it's: "GW2 is one of the best jump and run games I ever played. If I get bored with jumping there is still soo much other stuff to do until I'm in the mood to jump again."

Edit: And agree ... seperate poll would have been nice. Actually I find the mini dungeons more annoying. Jumping - as long as you know the way - is easier/smoother. Often less other mechanics distracting and stopping you.

I don't mind collection grinds as long as the achievement have them labeled or numbered so I can know which one's I am missing when I inevitably look up a guide after I got bored hunting them normally.

And I love JPs but I hate when ones like Chalice of Tears where it's really hard to see where to jump. It becomes a game of "which ledge isn't covered in slippery soap" rather than the logic of looking around and having to pick out a path based on what you see.
