Well, just like the OP I’ve stated my issue and gone into detail in follow up posts. But, like normal, the usual types have chosen to misrepresent the position as asking for JPs to be changed or rewards for free. Neither was the case. As I made quite clear. Cheers for the amusement. The discussion went exactly as I suspected it would. Enjoy the chat amongst yourselves.

Absolutely agreed. I have zero issue with this JP. I know I’ll likely never get it and I’m fine with that. Hell, I never even make it as far as the first chest. Again no issues with that. Neither I nor most of those who agreed here, nor most in similar topics elsewhere want the JP(s) changed. It looks like most would prefer ‘stuff’ that you can’t earn elsewhere not be locked behind JPs. Again, as I know others will selectively quote, I am not saying JPs shouldn’t have exclusive rewards. They should. If they are only about the scaling achievement, title, shiny reward then I doubt that most folks would have any issues with work arounds being disabled. Mounts, gliders, tp to friend, Mesmer, whatever.

The JP crowd is well known to be a minority in the game. I barely pay attention on the forums and even I’ve seen that multiple times over the years. Loud and vocal? Well, we get to see that every single time anyone questions why some new achievement as the required step for some new reward/item in the game is locked behind one of the weirder JPs. Very few folks question the addition of a new JP, with it’s own achievement and even a reskinned ‘shiny.’ I’m defeated nicely not saying that there aren’t folks who’ll cry about that because there are always those who will about anything. The troll crack was definitely me rolling my eyes at the way many forum dwellers love to argue about anything but especially love picking out a particular word or phrase and ignoring the fact that the post they quote otherwise was calling out what they then claim it was. did the OP go to far with their original statement. Maybe. At this point I can no longer recall and can’t be bothered to go back and check since it has no bearing on the point that others agreed with which many here are choosing to ignore and make about a wider issue as they.do each time this is questioned.

1. I could give a toss about a mini. I don’t use them. 2. Not sure where the disability reference comes from other than that obscure crack at the OP 3. Once again, the standard ploy, make it about changing all JPs when literally every post I’ve read in this thread who are not happy about this specific JP being the sole requirement added to this step despite the next two requirements both giving the choice of doing either or both to complete. Shed Gargoyle Claw - raceway and/or labyrinth Tattered Awakened Garment - ascent to madness and/or mad king says No one has claimed (major) issues with any of those four events hence why they are the chosen route for the meta (along with the other stuff) for those who have issues with the clock tower. It’s been solid win/win for JP lovers and JP haters. Then this new achievement where the JP isn’t paired with another option. Brilliant! Once more strife between the two sides. Well done, A-Net!

Good luck OP trying to get most of the ‘kind community’ on the forums to get behind this. You’ll get a few of us who’ll openly agree with you but a troll farm’s worth of the vocal minority who shout down your very valid point regarding making this JP a must for the Court’s achievement and oh so cleverly will ‘misunderstand’ your points to muddy the waters. I’m not a fan of JPs but have many times pointed out that i’m glad that they are in the game for those who enjoy them. By bull headedness or by hook or by crook I’ve got past all of them in the game except a couple of timed JP/adventure like this that, naturally, have stuff locked behind them I need to complete various things. The legendary I’m currently stuck on is one that definitely sticks in the throat. As others have said, the Tower isn’t required for the Meta (thankfully) and - as you pointed out - it’s inexplicable that after carefully not tying any requirements to it and knowing the bulk of the community has long been known to not favour JPs it’s beyond weird that they wouldn’t have put two things you could do to complete it in that stage just like they did for last stage of the gathering evidence section. Seems more like an oversight that they need to fix .

Pfft! First thing i do with any game is turn the music off. Then i can better hear the amusing or daft things that npcs say.

As others have said, prologue and the initial episodes were alright, even better once i had a chance to get into them properly. Champions? No. If this keeps going downhill at this rate i'm going to assume all the talent has left or else hope that they are all working on the expansion. At this point i am basically doing dailies and minimum on Champions and that is sad this soon after a release.

Same 3 times in rapid succession, doing dailies in pave and adventure instance.

I am also super prone to motion sickness but I avoid it in GW2 via camera settings (wide FoV, high zoom, etc). I've posted them before, not sure which forums, if you think it might help then PM me for details. It'd be great if your wife could join you in Tyria. Yeah, she adjusted those settings before playing, then again after starting to feel off. Sadly no dice. She can't even play CoH when it gets bad and that one she can usually adjust as required. Just as well, all bets would have been off if she got as far as gliding or mounts! :p

We got the game, about a year and a half ago, for my wife as she missed playing fantasy MMOs but it turned out that the motion gave her nausea like so many such games these days. I hadn't wanted to play this game as it was owned by NCSoft and I was a CoH exile who'd still not forgiven. I set up an account anyway to help her out and in the short time we played I (natural) got hooked. I'm 51 my wife is 5 year younger and our daughter, who has played almost as long is almost 12. I don't feel like I'm going to be stopping playing games anytime soon and I know my wife badly misses playing fantasy style games, MMO or single player and it seems like our daughter is really into it as she enjoyed running around in SWL with me and has really enjoyed jumping into the resurrected CoH. Still, GW2 is currently her fave as she loves running around as an Asura along with the TINY guild.
