Guild Wars 2 - Ascending Crow´s Nest HD

ArenaNet managed to implement one of the hardest (if not THE hardest) jumping challenge ever with the recent patch. And thats not even the best about it. It´s just rather impressive they most likely did this not intentional. Anyways, JP-ambassadors like many others and myself absolutely adore stuff they can hop on, and thus a place like this won´t be secure from us. The hardest part actually is managing to do this without any fail. Considering you only have 10 charges of each of the both jumping Aspects - Assisted leap and Lightning Pull - you either get up to Crow´s Nest in one turn or have to stop halfway, asking a fellow Mesmer to port you downstairs to recharge your Aspects. Also you must not fall, because any falling hight here will be lethal if you happen to miss the next three beams on your way down (happened soo many times to me, lost count...). Another hard part is to be lucky with the Lightning Pull. One thing that really turns me off about GW2 is that skill usage is heavily dependant on your latency. And if the zone you are in is full, especially skills which move you around tend to stop working like they should. This results in the shortened Lighnting Pull seen at the bottom of the tower. That skill also gets a higher chance to simply miss its target or overshoot it the more people are in that zone. Finally reaching Crow´s Nest is almost as good as christmas and birthday combined, such a good feeling if you appreciate jumping challenges. Sadly Crow´s Nest is also the highest point you can get, right behind me is an invisible barrier and all debris up there doesnt have collision anymore. I admit the end of this video is not perfect. You can safely jump from up there and survive if you land in the water below. But i chose to upload this just to give you a good laugh at how unlucky one can be... I hope you enjoy the video and are inspired to try it by yourself :)
