Guild Wars 2

I really don’t like how a dead player can just lie there and feed information to his team. This is a lame tactic that unfortunately everyone uses, and I think the WvW gameplay suffers because of it. It just irks me every time I see a dead opposing player in our keep or wherever we may be during an extended fight, knowing that the only reason they didn’t respawn is so that they can tell their team everything we’re doing. They died. They shouldn’t get such a powerful reward for that.

I think a great solution would be to allow dead players to only view the map while they either wait to get revived or choose to respawn. Thoughts?

this is working as intended.

they are defeated.

not dead.

It was a suggestion. This is the suggestion forum. Not the bug forum.

i don’t think defeated player should be able to spy, because non defeated players cannot do anything about it.
in fact i don’t think it’s intended.

edit: 1 solution could be: if you die inside enemies wall you are istantly teleported to your world starting area.

A while back anet said in a video they were not happy with it and considering a change … when/if it comes who knows … simple and best solution is when you are dead you see nothing but the map to choose a wp

In other WvW games, after an enemy player was killed, you could go up to the corpse and interact with it (basically staking a downed player in this game) and it would force them back to their closest res area. This game needs a similar mechanic, where you can do something to the corpse to force em back to their spawn.
