holychampion.7386 Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Hello I don't know if this is a bug or not, most likely not, but I can't complete the mad king jumping puzzle. I got to the end 3 or 4 times. Jumped through the cracked window and it sends me to the beggining of the jp. I watched videos on youtube, I did the exact same thing but for some reason it doesn't teleport me to the treasure chamber.Anyone else having the same problem, can I solve it anyway? Might it be because of ping? I'm not lagging however.
Dewsitine.3645 Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 From what I notice is that there is an invisible small ledge that juts out at the end of the stairs for when you make the jump; get on it and that should solve your problem. I had a problem with it until I remember about that little thing; now I am able to make it all the time.

mazut.4296 Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Im very good at this jp and this happened to me few times at least. I jump at the right moment but got sent back to the start. Very annoying ...
Zaltys.7649 Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 I've seen some players jump into the vortex and then complaining about bugs in the waiting room; but as far as I could tell they were just standing too far back to ever make the jump. I'd recommend trying what Dewsitine suggested, before blaming it on lag.
holychampion.7386 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Posted October 22, 2017 Finaly made it work. Thanks everyone for your support. Took a total f 10 completed jp to make it.THE SOLUTION IS TO CLIMB TO AN IMAGINARY STEP IN THE STAIRS (1 STEP AFTER THE END OF THE STAIRS ON THE RIGHT SIDE) AND WHEN THE LIGHTINING HITS THE GLASS AND BREAKS IT, JUMP TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CLOCKTOWER. YES JUMP IN THAT DIRECTION EVEN IF YOU WILL HIT THE WALL AS THE CLOCKTOWER TURNS, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU HIT OR NOT THE WINDOW
Kyban.4031 Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Yeah, my friend ran into this, he had to jump several seconds after he was supposed to to get into the tower. You could always try reentering the instance or relogging, might fix it but a bug report would probably be appropriate here.

The solution is to jump as soon as you see the clockface window coming around the corner, not wait for it to start bursting into pieces. That way you are guaranteed to make the jump and successfully land inside the tower.
Cuon Alpinus.7645 Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Happened to me a while ago, missed four in a row despite landing perfectly in the hole. It's just bad desync; leave and rejoin the instance. You can tell if you have a bad/desynced instance by looking at the bits and pieces of the tower that spawn in during the ascent. If they're jittery or otherwise just kinda pop in, you're likely in a laggy/bad instance.
Endless Soul.5178 Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Interesting. I always stood on the left side of the stairs, and actually on the last step. I always jumped right when the lightning struck, and I've made the jump every single time. I've never missed. Strange that other people are missing it.

Strange that other people are missing it.That's exactly how I do it every time and never missed it. Perhaps it's an instance issue?
Kirin.7306 Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 I only ever manage to get halfway lol. fml.
DebraKadabra.5278 Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 I'm sorry, OP, but I didn't notice that bug two hours ago when I got my first completion in four years of trying.
Kal Spiro.9745 Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 No idea what the issue is here but my advice is to count the walls. The Clock Tower is an Octagon, so there are seven walls before the window. Count the walls, when you get to eight, jump. The way will be clear by the time you reach the tower. It has never failed me.
