Guild Wars 2

So, I’d like to open this with just saying I love this event. I didn’t really feel any emotional involvement in the LS until I saw that cutscene of Scarlet torching everything! This isn’t an LS rant, no….this is a player rant.
It could be just me, but I’ve never seen as many people refusing to WP in any event to date then this one. Worse yet, there seems to be a growing trend of people spamming ‘Res pls’ over and over. Now, I get that some places are a bit far from a WP to run back to, but I’ve had it so bad that I’ve not been able to read any other chat in my main tab just because of the 5-10 people spamming some form of ‘res’ over and over from fully defeated….in Fort Marriner.
People, if you get defeated, run back. Laying there doesn’t help anyone, spamming is a great way to end up on a block list. Heck, if I see someone doing that, I deliberately AVOID rezing them. If you’re just downed, say so, don’t spam. If you drop all the way, run back. People are already struggling just to get credit for the events, so stopping to revive an all-the-way defeated person isn’t high up on anyone’s list.

Quite simply put, the people who are scaling and ruining events by not running back are not the kind of people to actually visit the forums, especially not for feedback on their gameplay decisions.

Sadly true.

But realy I agree with OP that not only it is annoying with people spamming ‘Res pls’ but when a few players(4-8) are fighting for their lives while more than 20-30 players are whiped and lies there just waiting to hopefully be ressed by these surving eight players.

Also players that not yet heave learned to check enemies buffs, like the molten protectors that uses that awfull protecting ring and 90% of all players are still trying to hurt the champion inside the circle for the whole duration.

And players who don’t know that you can dodge but still they expect you to rezz them when they are dead. tsss… Well the big laser attack is deadly to WoW-players atleast.

I gladly rezz players who are downed and trying their best trying to get back on their feet and I have also been helped back up on my feet many times from downed state.
But when there is 20-30 dead players and someone is downed by them… I am sorry buddy but I will try help you kill a mob to get you on your feet but there is no way in hay I can rezz you

About that, a suggestion: When ressing in a croud of dead players PLEASE make ressing downed players a prio.

I dunno. I encourage all dead players to run back in /s. Quite simply put, unless an event is on the verge of a wipe, there is no situation where success is made morelikely by people stopping to res a fully dead player instead of continuing to kill. Every dead person is scaling the event up, making it take longer to complete for the people left. In addition, every person who stops to res is making this problem worse. They’re in combat mos tof the time, and it’s beneficial in nearly all cases to run back, for yourself and the group.

On top of that, dead players get in the way of downed players. It’s really that simple. I can’t res a downed player if they’re in the middle of 3 corpses that keep stealing priority on my interaction.

I love it when the res please types are lying in overlapping red circles and they are dead/ dead.
The remaining people are fighting for their lives- but no- cannot way point- have to spam res please.

I will go out of my way and above and beyond to get a downed player back up.
A selfish dead player can just lie there

Turn off map chat. Problem solved.

I occasionally ask people to WP if they are dead, bottomline is that they are a obstacle to the event in more ways then one, specially in the LA events.

More then a few people get downed at any given time, it’s confusing and hard to pinpoint downed from dead, to which point by the time you find them they are dead aswell.

On Eredon Terrace we seem to have very friendly players taking part in LA. I’ve not encountered a group yet that did not prioritize ressing players. I constantly see “TY” and “YW” (and friendly variations) in map chat due to players actually being nice and helpful. I’ve only ever seen a single player say something like “If you are dead, respawn and run back”…not only was it ignored, it was an irrelevant statement as everyone seems to res everyone else, even from total death. I think this one person who said to run back was just one of ‘those players’; one who begs for others to help them, but tells others to run back instead of returning the favor. People just ignore those people and their ‘take care of yourself and screw everyone else’ messages, we help eachother.

I even try to take note of players who help me out, and hit the screenshot button often to record player names. I later send messages of thanks with some type of a token of appreciation for their kindness as to help encourage their selfless acts in the future…many return the gifts and express that they do not need a reward for helping, that helping another is reward enough in itself.

Thanks, Eredon Terrace. Many of you restore my faith in gamers, and even humanity as a whole.
