The past few times I've done this trial, I and just about everyone else in my group will use the bounce pads just fine like normal and all the sudden one of us will be warped into the pit and called out for falling into the middle, despite not actually falling into the middle. One time as I was landing on the entrance to one of the named, and upon landing (perfectly where you are expected to land, hadn't even had a chance to move yet) I was sent back to the start and told I fell into the pit. Has happened the three times I've done this since the February (Not March) patch. Didn't know if anyone else has ran into this?
I've had this issue basically since expansion release, which is why I still don't have the stupid achievement.
The landing position at the water boss is broken and frequently causes you to warp to the starting NPC failing the ach and taking the fire DD even though you have landed successfully without falling. It usually takes 2 or 3 tries before you can get the landing to stick. I think that is the main reason the ach is so hard to get, because with 6 toons and that sort of failure rate it is not likely that you will get 12 successful jumps (you will have to go through that pad a minimum of twice). I have not encountered issues with the other pads, but that one is without question broken.
Try this. Stop next to the pad. Then click on it with your mouse without moving at all. Dont even rotate your camera until you come to a complete stop.
I hate this particular one with a passion. I am not sure why anyone thought playing guessing games and warping back to the start was a fun idea.
not a guessing game. count the elemental effects on the portals. one kind will dominate, that's the next mini to kill.
I was talking about guessing which portal leads where and the whole fire thing that warps you randomly back to the start.
From the start Far left takes you to Air Far right takes you to Earth Center takes you to Fire, couple more clicks of that cycle and you get to Water. One way circuit so you always come back to the area with 3 portals.
