The other thread about favorite mechanics is great, so let’s also do the opposite: what are some of your most hated mechanics?

    I cannot jump. Not for the life of me. I mean I do press space at the right moment, but somehow I miss, or it’s just not working, I keep falling down or to my death. That’s why platformers aren’t for me sadly, even though I’d like to play them. I cannot do jumping puzzles in Guild Wars 2, I even struggle in Doom! Please, I’ll do everything, but don’t make me jump!

      I was always so thankful for Mesmers that took the time to create the portals for other players on those jumping puzzles. I am similarly awful at jumping and platforming. I even have a few newer Mario games I never finished because I’m so awful at it. Thank goodness for Yoshi’s Woolly World.

        Yes! There’s a big guild that’s always present when it’s a daily so everyone can get it done. I remember the old days when people were expected to pay the mesmers for the service, nowadays almost every class has a port :)

          I wanted to revisit the game when End of Dragons released, as I hadn’t played since a year or so after Path of Fire released, but when I went to log in, it said my account was locked, and I wasn’t able to get it unlocked. Still a little perturbed about it.

            That’s a bummer! Couldn’t the support help with getting it back?

              They were less than helpful when I tried a few months ago, but thanks to you I’ll give it another shot!

                Sadly I’ve also found them not very helpful when I once had to contact them. I still hope you’ll get it sorted!
