Guild Wars 2

We’re in the Northern Shiverpeaks server, and we’re on the map where we use the hammer to break the seals. We were climbing up the walk way until me and another party member were blown off (no biggy, right?). When we died, there was no accessible waypoint to head to……… The dungeon(s) are meant to be challenging, but not that challenging, right?……

Wrong. Welcome to endgame.

It uses a checkpoint based system, haven’t you gotten the option to go to the last one?.

I died and my team mates couldn’t see me on the map, therefore not ress me, even though I saw them standing right on top of me. I spend the next 40 min waiting for them to complete the part of the dungeon. If there would have been a waypoint I could have a) participated in the fun and b) got loot and fractal relics. I got nothing.

Sure, make changes, take away waypoints. But be sure that whatever you replace it with works.

This is a good thing don’t change it I like it ..

A party member of ours was blown into nirvana, we could not rezz him. That is a bug and must be fixed.

D :

Needs a repair block. Even if it’s x10 repair costs, it is NEEDED. Took over 10 TPKs to figure out the strat for the final boss, and by that time none of us could tank because we had no armor.

Unless you want to encourage people to play by having a game guide open in another window…. definitely needs a repair block.

Yah, this need some tweaking. I am fine with the no repair stand/way point of traditional dungeon. But currently you only get respawn option in a team wipe (same as personal story). The concept isn’t bad, the problem is if you die where team can’t res you. I feel and died in one of maps during jumping part. Thankfully I landed in spot team was able to return to rez.
Since (some) maps are small I can understand that they don’t want the “die and rush right back in” thing like in some other bosses/challenges and that they want your team to have to rez you, but there needs to be a safety in case they can’t rez…
Or maybe if team reaches the next checkpoint it spawns you there even?

If the whole group dies than you will be reseted to the last hidden waypoints. (E.g. in the partical dungeon) the waypoints are after each seals that you break.

If he was on your spot, than he was still to high. He should go down one more level (or everybody could do a mass suicide to meet you all at the hidden waypoint.)

you cannot retry from checkpoint unless your whole party wipes. you either have to be ressed by them or they have to wipe. This is to prevent just zerg rushing the bosses.

Yep as others have said it is to prevent zerging. If you are stuck and can’t be rezzed have your whole team jump off a cliff and respawn at the last checkpoint. The checkpoints are very frequent, they can even go to the next one and all die and you will appear at that one with them.

We had one guy fall off and die in the lava and we ended up 4 manning the whole section since we could not get to him to res him.

a true team game now, Way to go a-net I love the fractals
