Guild Wars 2

Yeah I have experienced this a lot. I try to target them and send them a whisper but by the time I’ve typed ‘stay th’ they’ve usually gone. Even from the other perspective I would like to know if someone had spotted me and was coming to help out. Nice idea.

As one who will go out of my way to rez, and waits to be rezzed as long as I deem reasonable; I would love this option in the game. One reason is there is no way to tell how many people are in the region you are playing in, or where anyone is located to see if a rez could be possible. There could be a 100 people near me or no one in the zone at all. Please make this possible.

Yes PLS !!
I also have tried my hardest so many times to help players, only to see them revive just because I couldnt tell them im omw.

I strongly agree with this suggestion.

And as Weebitt said: A tool to see players in our region. Showing them on radar just like in wvwvw would be fine for me, being able to select them from there marvelous.

Oh yes.
Even something easy, like on icon-click automatically switching on whisper to the downed player would help immensely.
I´m really fed up running to some guy and he is suddenly gone.

Though to be fair it´s often their own fault too.
I have yet to see a polite ask for a rez in mapchat. Again everybody seems to think they are paying an hourly subscription or something and just haven´t got the time.

Jeez.

I have politely asked for rez in mapchat, because I died about 5 feet away from the new waypoint, and my last waypoint was half a map away.

Therefore, I just asked kindly if anyone is close to the new waypoint to rez me. And sure enough suddenly 5-6 people teleported and arrived

Now this i love. That would be awesome to click on someones icon to tell them someone’s coming. too often i was completing a map seeing someone was downed ran up and just before getting there they ported. smh

Make it so when someone clicks on the icon the down player gets a message that someone is coming to save him, like when someone rezzes while at the map and it says that a kind soul is saving you. I wouldn’t like it if my name was given too since I might end up not getting there for some reason (maybe he died trying to solo a champ) and then they could start bothering me.

What a great idea! I would love to see a map-clickable “I see you, on my way!” message implemented!

EDIT: I’m the kind of person who would probably travel well out of their way to come rez someone, so it might also be a good idea for the map icon to change color after someone has clicked on it so that you can tell at a glance someone is already responding to the defeated player.

That way you don’t have to stop what you’re doing and get halfway to the defeated player only to have them rezzed by someone else. If you see a defeated player on the map and can tell that someone has already responded to them, you can stay where you are and keep playing.

This idea is pretty nifty and I’ve been in similar cases where I’m running up to someone down on the map but esc out by the time I get there. Most of the time it’s no big deal, but if I’m the only one around, and on my way to elsewhere.. it’s kind of take or leave. (Stop and help out, possibly get swarmed by mobs myself when they’ll likely Xout – or don’t bother).

Folks, this idea is bad, I can see alot of “Mean” people trolling this function and also due to “Bot” issues, they could ruin this as well.

Please come up with a better way.

Actually, now that you mention people could troll this feature, I have to retract my suggestion that the map icon should indicate whether or not anyone had responded to the defeated player. I can totally see some people being jerks and clicking the map to mark the player as responded to just so that no one else would bother to respond, and then running off and leaving the defeated person laying on the ground. This would actually completely undermine the entire feature suggested by the OP. Oops. My bad.

I hate when I continuously underestimate the capacity of other human beings to be complete tools.

But as for the original suggestion, I’m still in favor of it. I really don’t think it would be trolled that badly.

@ minbariguy.7504

My comment wasn’t just directed to you, it was for everyone on this thread. I know how cruel people can be and many if not all the ideas mentioned on here, can be trolled and abused.

People are just going to have to ask politely on /map chap to rez them, as long as they can indicate where they are at, correctly that is.

And no do not suggest the idea for people to mark on map for all players to see it, this can be trolled and I promise you gold advertisers would mark the map to put a gold ad that way.

Yep I definitely think this would be a good idea, half the time I go to rezz someone and they are gone before I get there and the other half I don’t bother because I’m convinced they won’t be there by the time I get there.

I’m always happy to go out of my way to help revive other players, and have seen this happen many times. I’d definitely like a quicker way to let people know I’m on the way and that they shouldn’t waste their coin.

I also agree that it would be nice to be able to see who is around (like WvW) during PvE as well. We’re supposed to be playing together, massively multiplayer, why can’t we see players on our mini-map?

really good idea
+1

Just because someone has pinged you on the mini map doesn’t have to mean you would disappear from everyone’s sight. Just make it so if someone pings it, it alerts the downed player that a good soul is on their way.

You think this function is going to bring players that like to troll more full front, lol. I have seen players stand there watch me die and then /laugh and run off calling me a noob. Trolls can be dealt with, and no matter the mechanic or lack there of they will show up. If so one trolls you like I got trolled then announce in Map chat what the persons name is and what they did, I have when a player left me to die like that. The whole map ignored him and refuse to ever help them. At this point in time GW2 community is descent, and usually does not accept griffers or trolls very politely.

I even so much as seen some kid trolling in map about something stupid just a few days ago… most people had either ignored him or acted like they did, he went on for hours. Finally we had about 30 – 40 minutes of silence form his stupidity, then we all get people on GW2 suck no one wants to help me in this or that instead you just stand there and watch me die. About 6 people responded with maybe next time you will not try and troll map chat then.

On a lasting note I have noticed that Boting and Gold farming adds have gone to non exsistant in the past few weeks. A Net has done a great job thus far, if you think a system like this is going to make it accessible for Gold Farmers to spam their websites Like in WoW…. we already have Icons that display on the mini map, if they wanted to they could have done that already

Yeah I like it. I’ve been in the situation where I went out of my way to rez someone and just as I got there, the person respawned…sighhhh

Perhaps right click on fallen team mate in mini-map, left click (On my way to revive you). This sends the message to the fallen one, he gets it and a shiny dot appears on the mini-map with your position. That way the fallen one can see how far away you are, which direction and whether its worth the hassle.

I like this idea. Both as somebody who goes to rez people and as somebody who’s died before and wondered if anybody was going to come help.

Of course, there are situations where somebody has died in a spot that I can’t get to without dying myself. In that case, you’re on your own.

I like this idea, I’m always willin’ ta run off an’ help some bleeder what got himself scrapped, but they disappear so fast that it’s usually not worth tryin’ unless they’re the way I’m goin’ anyway. (or close ta it)

at least let us right click on the downed icon.. so we can whisper him that we are on our way.

thats a good idea will be nice if the dead player know that help is coming and to wait instead to use WP waste money and then run back to where he is going

This would be cool since both me and my husband goes “Ohhh dead guy, lets go get him”
whenever we see a downed player, heck even npc’s lol.
I think a simple message to the player like “help is on the way”, when you click on the icon is maybe the least trollable.

great idea thats happen to me a lot

The problem with this is half the time I tell the person I’m coming and fight the mob that killed them so I can rez them yet they still respawn in stead x.x

Yes please, I would like to send the request to many dead people as possible and not resurrect them. It will be really funny to waste their time and not waste mine.

I support this idea! I have ran halfway across a map to rez someone and had them disappear when I was a mere ten feet from them. <annoyed face>

bump.
i agree, people please + 1 this topic

This is a great idea.

I support this idea.

looks good. But to prevent trolling, add a little incentive. A 20 copper and some karma because it is some sort of event chain. Right now, going out of your way for rezzing isn’t worth it unless it’s the daily. I do it because I’m a good guy, but often don’t really feel like it.

sounds like a great feature.

I support this!

I’d also like it so that if someone is afk they become unresurectable, seen a fair few naked afk people because “kind” souls come along and rez them while they are still AFK only to get downed again.

Sure if they go AFK in a place with mobs then they sort of deserve a bit of armour damage, but being able to “troll” someone into loosing all their armour because they might have had to rush to an emergency or some such is a bit naff.

As for the ping to let em know your coming, sounds great. Make it so you click it, a pop up comes up stating that someones on the way BUT then locks that person from clicking again on that person for say… 5 minutes to you can’t just sit back and spam them with pings (I hate ping spam!) and of course shouldn’t effect anyone one else also wanting to click and ping. (so no need to have it effect minimap symbol or anything just alert the downed player).

If this does get implemented though, please don’t make it a daily ><

I agreed with the rest of your post but this is a bit “ehh” to me. I think the level of personal responsibility of kind souls should be at common sense. For instance, you shouldn’t be rushing in after you’ve already let someone know that you are on the way. They know that you’ll be fighting mobs to get there.
