[OPINION] What are the most challenging Vistas?

[Zeune]

Vistas are content I enjoy, some I found present more challenges than others, but I have not found a good tier list for what maybe considered the most difficult vistas to achieve. What is the community opinion?

[Nibbie]

I assume you mean without gliders/mounts/etc? Because they trivialize most of those, especially in the base game. I also don't recall any vistas being particularly challenging (probably why you haven't found the lists you're searching for), but it has been quite a long time since I've done most of them.

[SinisterSlay]

Probably the first ones, because we all started the game having no idea you had to abuse the game physics to get some of them.

I really miss the mini puzzle vistas used to represent.

Are there more challenging jump / physics puzzles away from Vistas then?

Yeah, they're called jumping puzzles, or the current event: Super Adventure Box.

Until Cantha, then it just stopped? I think they forgot about jumping puzzles?

Yeah there is an easy one in new Kaineng as well. I can't think of any after that.
Wizards tower has a really easy timed one if that counts?

I would spend more time in the SAB if it didn't look like Minecraft. The graphics are so far from the main world, it turns me off :/

Thank you all for the advice.

It's not meant to be a nod to Minecraft, it's meant to be like old school platformers. It's great, and once you get through normal mode, you can do Tribulation Mode, which is the absolute best jumping puzzle stuff in GW2. It's like the modern hard platformers, like Meat Boy and I Wanna Be The Guy.

Probably some of the central Tyria ones without mounts, where you need pixel perfect jumps so the game engine glitches you up on the ledge you shouldn’t have been able to reach.

Reminds me of aaaages ago on Dark Reverie, the second part of the one in Caledon. There's this leaf i wasted ages trying to jump to, before finding out Mesmer's teleport somehow gets you across without having to do the jump.
