Since the current jumping puzzle on EB only distracts people from real WvW fights and has no strategical benefit, everyone can agree that it needs a remake.
In my opinion there should be an extremely long and DIFFICULT jumping puzzle of floating rocks (like the one above Metrica Province) starting from either the keeps or the spawn locations, and leading to the roofs of Stonemist Castle, where successful jumpers may find a chest, and a gate (that can be destroyed by rams) leading to the upper floor of SM.
- Trebuchets and catapults should be blocked on this puzzle, otherwise it turned Eternal Battlegrounds into Jumping Puzzle Battlegrounds.
- Ballistas, arrow carts, (or omega golems if they could jump) could make this even more exciting!
If those 3 paths of jumping puzzles would be connected with eachother, then “please help! there are campers on the puzzle” would make sense, and people could even get help instead of being flamed “GET OUT OF JP!”
Connecting the paths might even make people able to sneak into enemy keeps, this way making all the 3 sides alert, so defenders/scouts will be needed at more locations.
I think it is a prefect way to spread out people all across the map, while they still have fun
If you decide to make this, please consider adding some deep water spots (rivers, small lakes / craters filled with water or poison or whatever) so players can quit the jumping puzzle any time they want without dying OR mesmers could drop a portal.
Thank you.
