Talk:Crimson Plateau

BOTH descriptions SUCK

These descriptions are woefully bad, and are dependent utterly on already KNOWING what you're looking for. Whoever wrote them needs to learn how to describe something.

• Define points of orientation. Pictures are wonderful for this, but at least TRY to use something unique and obvious. E.g., "The squarish rock" is usually not an obvious point of reference when you've got wall rubble all around you.
• Use north, south, east, west, not "left" and "right"... in case you hadn't figured it out, those vary with the direction you're facing.
• Realize that "north side" varies with what you're referring to. The north side of a ledge which is against a wall is the south side of the wall. So saying "on the north side" -- of what? The ledge, or are you circling around to the north face of the wall? Or something else entirely.

Repeat -- first and foremost: Identify concrete points of reference!!!

E.g.: "1. Go east until you reach the edge of the platform and see a large boulder surrounded by little rocks on the north side. " Which platform? There are two the player has seen so far, probably. One has three bats on it. The next up has one bat and a bunch of armadillos. WOW, now it's clear which platform one might be talking about!! "Three Bats" or "One bat"!! Amazing how freaking SIMPLE that was, to identify both platforms uniquely!! Let's assume the second. So we go east on that. North side? HUH? Of what? The platform? The north side of the platform is unscalable rock face and collapsed rubble, also impenetrable (Note: I damned sure can't find any "vine covered hole" in it, either. So am I looking in the wrong place? How the eph would I know, these descriptions SUCKKKKK.

Instead of wasting your time complaining about it, you could simply rewrite it. —Dr Ishmael 12:56, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, if I had actually managed to figure the worthless instructions out so I could complete it, that would be really SPIFFY KEEN! < --- intense sarcasm. --72.196.100.56 07:45, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

In-game hint is misleading

When looking at the achievement for this in-game it says you can find it near the Breached Wall Waypoint, but 1 look at this article and it's obvious that's a very misleading hint. 68.105.80.165 01:03, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Skipping the entire puzzle

If you have gliding (or if a mesmer friend can portal you) . The process is rather simple and explained on my video : [1] Just stand on the correct location and log out then log in.--Ruine Eternelle (talk) 08:45, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
