Sarge shot Grif.6450 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I see people doing stuff like rushing to the snowboulder part so they can skip one of the waiting segments and I just don't get it, yeah you skipped something but with the way the jp is set up you're NEVER gaining anything and you're increasing your chances of wasting time on a lost run. Every single time I've seen someone do this they either succeed and they're still waiting at the start when I get through or they (and this is the more common one) get knocked down right at the end.

Randulf.7614 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Sometimes you just need to break up a run by doing something different and overconfidence takes over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Cuts off time which adds more time for another run which means more presents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayakaru.6583 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I think the seconds they save means one or two more runs at the end of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirlias.8104 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Because it's fun and challenging. I don't really care about the loot, Since Unlike most of the players i am not there in order to farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazyDaisy.4107 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Maybe they're evil and they're trying to get 1st timers who don't know any better to follow them on their careless adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you! I love to leave the side positions before the snowball is fully gone, to test where is the limit (try it, it is possible to leave pretty early) and I also like to tentatively skip waiting positions, what works once in awhile, just for the fun of it. I don't care to have to restart. I am not there to farm either. I just love jumping and testing. I also do love to skip snowflakes on the first part of the path. Many are possible. All those unnecessary risks are for the fun. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim West.3194 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 This is my favorite JP by far. I ran it endlessly even when it didn't give rewards. Tried all kinds of different tricks to cut down time etc. It's a fun challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreohrDatia.2078 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 If you can pull it off and get through the jp quicker than normal, the seconds really can add up for more attempts! so, great if you want to make money quicker or if you just wanna try get a high score ;P and the more often you attempt and succeed/fail at it, the better and more consistent you can become but yeah, as has already been said, it can just be fun for some people (like me~) anyway. And also I for one can have a short attention span and it actually helps me focus when taking risks where I have to be extra careful/precise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neutra.6857 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 There is another reason, for those doing the hard puzzle, the cold damage can make the end a bit close, especially if you made a mistake somewhere. That extra second can mean the difference between making it or dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westenev.5289 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 If I take risks and die, it's likely because I'm practicing for a smoother (and faster) run. Sometimes this works out, sometimes it takes a bit of practice, and sometimes the things I come up with are outright silly - but I've developed my own run, and I feel I can now outpace most people who happen by the hard path.

Castigator.3470 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I usually put some music on and go with the flow. I've fount that a tango goes well with the tempo of the jumping puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do it for basically the same reasons. I try dodge jumping at different parts to skip a few snowflakes and a couple of mints. I've been into speedrunning more often and I'm interested in seeing how quickly I can get through the first section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Sometimes you find a jump to be easier to pull off than risk the extra jumps and falling off in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
