Yeah, just quit the game mid-quest because the air jet "puzzle" is just impossible for me.
Before you say. No, it's not that I suck. I've done this quest a few times on my artificer and it has been... Tedious.
Jump on the rock pile, go up one level, wait, jump on next platform, wait, jump off, wait a long time because the platform just left, jump on, get towards the air jet, wait, go past air jet and try and hit the lever.
Here one of three things happens:
1) Every shot misses and I get blasted off.
2) I start interacting with the lever
3) Somehow I activate the lever.
With my arti it's kinda bearable. Shoot 2 volleys and at least there's a chance that I hit it. With my main character using a shuriken? No chance.
I'm sure some of you are confused because you don't have a problem with it, chances are you're not in say the UK like me.
I have a latency of 83+ Minimum. Often near 100. Jumping on moving platforms is a risk, sometimes I land on it and then get pinged off. Timing blows in melee is tricky, rubberbanding is my life.
For 99.9% of the game that's fine. The Newcomers? Nah. Forget it.
I find it funny how there are breakables that give you a bow and some arrows because if you have bad latency those will not be enough.
I've even tried jumping on the ledge the lever is on, pulling the lever and waiting for the platform to go all the way round and continue. That works until I try to jump back on at which point I either miss due to the invisible roof above me or the latency just pings me off the platform.
Due to this, I have a list of things that I'd appreciate to help the situation. Even making a few of these changes should help a lot.
1) Make a platform between the last two air jets where I can land on easily.
2) Fix the air jets so they actually turn off when the lever changes. They seem to take forever to turn off sometimes, the one by the rock pile especially. We're talking a whole platform cycle here.
3) Shorten the path if you get blown off. I feel there should be a platform that takes you straight back up to have another go.
4) Look into improving latency in Europe.
This part of the quest is randomly and unnecessarily stressful. All I want is the end loot! :P
