Guild Wars 2

Rally works fine in PVE.

Some of the skills other players have in downed state far far better compared to some classes, other being laughable, the mechanic is simply poorly planned out. There is no concept of losing troops in PVP, everyone just rushes and zergs instead of having to think a little bit.

Having to run all the way from a far away keep would keep haphazard zergs a thing of the past. Plus the rally mechaic in PVP is not close to even skillwise.

Once you go down you should be teleported to the furthest available keep you own, a penalty for failure. And you wont have the chance to cheaply log out.

I must agree that some classes’ downed state skills are better than others. They could fix this simply by replacing the downed state skills with the same set of skills for all classes while in a PvP area.

Examples of which ones are laughable and which ones are far far better?

remove down state and go straight to select respawn point

when you get downed you usually start with 50%~ hp so there is no way you can tank the enemies your just sitting there in a few seconds waiting to be killed so i don’t really see the problem. anyway if it is going to remove it in pvp please keep it in wvw.

Absolutely not, GW2 PvP downed state is what makes this game worth playing tbh.

Downed state isn’t the problem with WvW, it is far from it. You can actually use an invulnerability skill + stomp to take one person down or Invulnerability + quickness + swiftness + stomp for a stomp fest.

The problem is that players can res while their friends are in a defeated state. So if you did a 3 vs 30, even if your group can kill 10 players, the enemy can just res each other when in their defeated state
