I won't spoil much, because it was a blast to find, but has anyone found any cool jumping puzzles? I know there are a couple of videos out there about ones that are pretty easy to find (due to quests or points being involved) but has anyone found any random ones?

The one I saw was actually in WvWvW, where I never expected to see them. It was decently challenging and made you think a bit before figuring out how to get to the goal, or even where the goal was.

I really hope there are quite a few of these in the game. Has anyone heard about how often these will pop up?

I think one per area.  I found one in each of the 15-25 level zones.

Really? That's great! I had quite a bit of fun with the one I found. It could have been that I found it with a group of friends and we were all trying to race each other to who figured it out first, but it's good to hear that there will be plenty of these floating around.

Loreclaw Expanse in ashford was pretty cool. and hard to find if you weren't looking for it xD

I found 1 that I failed at in the Norn start area. Who knew ravens had such strength. o.o I didn't find any other jumping puzzles but I did find a few secret caves with a little jumping required but not what I would call jumping puzzles as such.

The only jumping puzzle I done was the jump needed to get into the heart of the mists lol
Have not found any

The one I found in WvWvW was definitely a puzzle. There were a couple of different spots you needed to get to, some needed a keen eye to figure out where to go next, while others required a bit of dexterity to make the jumps without falling. I liked how it had both elements to it. I thought it was going to be pretty gimmicky, but ended up being one of the really cool points for the Beta.

xD Aww well its good in a way as at least it something you can save for release or hunt for next BWE. Tbh I think I will probably refrain from looking for any more and save them for release.

Haha. I loved that. Guided a friend via guild chat to help him find the cave and then waited 30 sec to see him type: "stupid ravens" )

Haha. I shall have my revenge in the release version. Though tbh I didn't get knocked off by 1 of them, I was defeated by some grumpy norn in raven form.

In char starter area i was able to get on top of the city.  nothing up there but was neat to run across the end of the map

[TheDistantBlue]

I found five total in the beta. Two in the Norn zones, one in the Charr zone, and two in the Human zones.

Not sure whether it was an actual jumping puzzle, it had no reward anyway and it didn't really go far. But it brought me on a nice look over from the eastern Dam in Queensdale.



Wish i had gone up there again when it was day to see the difference between the two though
