Anyone else feel like the quest "Crows Rest" in the new mod30 is tooooo much?

I have tried at least 40 times to get through that climb and failed. I have sat at the bottom and watched a dozen or more other people try as many times without success. The game has turned from fun to frustration at this point! Is there something I am missing in order to complete this quest? Has anyone succeeded to get the materials at the top of the climb?
Take the extra time to do the job right and it will never come back to bite you in the A**

    I find it easy.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    This quest is a nightmare created by a sick brain. I tried to do it dozens of times, I tried to go from below, to jump from above, to get there with the thief's teleport. I think it was designed specifically to encourage the sale of new PCs, I was one step away from throwing mine downstairs and I'm on the fourth floor :(

    Would have been a good place to allow the grappling hook...
    I've done it a couple of times, but any sort of lag makes it harder.

    Some of my guildmates are still trying.
    The problem is that even if you leave the quest it keeps giving it back to you and until you turn in both (you can do two at a time), you are stuck. At least it was possible to turn them in one at a time, or make it so that if this one is abandoned it is possible to have a different one. I don't think it's that complicated.
    This mechanism is really bad, It's normal that people trying to do this quest have been flooding the chat with insults and worse all afternoon. :/

    Try it the first time today. It is not bad. Before today, I thought the quest was to go all the way up to the peak.
    I stood on the platform and watched others climbing up without problem too.
    I consider this is a lot easier than some old jumping tasks. For those, you either needed to do that in hurry and/or a misstep is death.

    Hmmm, you've made me remember Gyrion's realm in the River District!

    Aside from spending two hours trying to do a quest, the problem is that the quests are given twice and if you don't turn them in you won't get the next ones, so if you don't succeed, you're stuck and this happens with almost all campaigns now.
    If it were possible to pick up and turn in the quests one at a time, continuing with the campaigns wouldn't be so frustrating.

    Move the character to the edge slowly, facing where you want to jump to and then hold 'w' and 'space'. Don't run. You can practice that on solid ground first to see how far you can jump.

    If you start in the main hub and take the bridge out to the right (east), then explore round the far end of the bridge... there are some places you can climb over the landscape. One of them lets you drop through a hole... and after some clambering, you can drop down onto the quest platform from above.

    I'm not saying it's easier, but it's another way to try.

    This works perfectly

    You're welcome. The OP didn't ask for help. He asked if he was missing something (No) and if the rewards were worth it (not really, but another quest turned it). As for the title of this thread, I gave my honest response. I'm sorry if that is too much for you.

    Yes, from here to drop straight down, it is stress free. :)



    the location to start to climb.
