Guild Wars 2

Hey folks.

Any chance of this added to the downed state seeing as how terribad Elementalist downed state is?
Perhaps to all just to be fair.
Saves us the hassle using skill 2 to root the enemy when they`re stood on our corpse & 3 skill which we can`t use because of its CD or because we`ve pressed 2 & can`t cancel casting…

I would probably title it “Accept Defeat” not suicide. But I agree, sometimes when you know you can’t survive it would be nice to just “Accept Defeat” or “Surrender”

No, i want to make soccer moms angry. we should label it suicide >:)

I agree. I don’t care what it’s labeled: Give up, Let go, accept fate, go towards the light, etc… but there are times when you know you aren’t going to make it. Especially as an elementalist but I’m sure other professions have the same feelings.

(It’s TF2 all over again).

I’d name it “Commit sudoku” We don’t need a new button for, holding 4 should make your character commit suicide.

Well it does get a bit disheartening when you’re hit into downed state and being savaged by a couple of mobs with no real hope at all of being saved (no one around, no way your regen button can out pace the mobs damage etc.), so you just lie there whimpering while they beat the last few sparks of life out of you, slowly, painfully…

So yes a button that allows me to skip that part would be fine by me.

i think you mean seppoku (or something like that)

Funny thing is… when i suggested the very same feature on the german forum… I only got negative feedback lol

But I would really like to see such a button, too. Sometimes you just wanna die (for whatever reason) instead of having to wait for “ages” until you finally die.

this is a bad idea for PvP. sometimes leaving a plaer in downed state can be a strategic move in a team fight or 1v1 and making hum useless for a few more seconds. it’s fine the way it is just fix ele’s down state skills.

a suicide button would really only affect pve, not pvp. if you press it in pvp then that means you let them win and forfeit xD

Idk. Why not just die. Not that it takes that much time anyways. I find that most times I survive the down state because I actually use it strategically. Knowing you are going to die soon you almost kill a mob target him get downed and start killing that mob, easy to rally that way and get away.
A “die” button would most likely frustrate more than it would be of practical use as you would end up smashing it on accident some times…

I would try my chances if I knew I had them. Yes, rallying can be easy at times, but others you just want it all to end and get out of the cave that has a respawns that are nonstop. I’ve had that happen on several occasion. I’ve even had friends tell me that this should be an option rather than trying to be “herioc” and survive.

Is OP just asking to get this for one class? I mean such an option would be a game changer in sPvP (especially in Tournaments) where you could time much better how long one had for the respawn.

Doesn’t the slash-command /killme that works in other MMOs work here? That’s a shame then…

Just give elementalists the downed skill of ‘Tactical Detonation’ whereby they sacrifice themselves in a fiery blast of ungodly damage to take out anything in very close proximity. Replace it with something more tame for PvP. That would be far more heroic than just dying.

Arguably you could give every class a heroic act ability. Thieves could have a bomb, warriors could become a berserker, guardians could become an avenging spirit, etc.

Downed state for Ele` is so useless in PvP that I do want it for Ele` (I have alts as in all games, also as in all games I never use them ;p), but I did say add it to all just to be fair, but tbh all others have it easy compared to Ele` when downed. (Not sure about Warriors, mine hasn`t died yet lol)

Agree’d. There are situations where you know you will never revive, its just better to immediately die and re spawn instead of waiting those 3 seconds for you to die otherwise.

since my last post here was deleted because i used the word ‘bump’ and said ‘i have nothing more to add this is a good idea’ which apparently Anet classes as ‘no meaningful content’ here is a second attempt at a reply!

I really like the idea, i agree that the downed state is sometimes futile to resist death and I would feel much happier killing myself before someone else did, even if they still get the player kill from it just so I could say I died honorably….

that meaningful enough Anet?

Really good idea. Sometimes you just dont wanna wait for the enemys to put the stick … pole? dno what its called? In you ^.^

It was /resign in GW1.

I don’t mind. It’s an option, we would not have to use it if we do not want to…

Haha, agreed. Suicide button please! With great explosion killing everyone in 1k radius Actually yes, ele 2nd downed button is uselles in comparison with other classes (guardian, thief,…).

That is also something that bugged me. I can’t count the times where I was sitting there and thought: “Oh, come one! Kill me already!”

Definitely +1. I already have to pay to get to the waypoint, then pay for repairs. Why make me pay psychologically too?

It would be especially sweet if it could be called, “sweet release from the zerg” when there are more than 2 enemy players on you. The other day as I was trying to get to help some realmies in wvwvw I ran into an area I didn’t know very well. Turns out, it was the front door of another realm held area.

As soon as I showed my face about 30 of them rushed out and did… terrible… things to me. I’d love to have a choice to skip that humiliation (yes, it was my own fault) and still be able to thumb my nose at them by denying them any honor/glory whatever for what amounted to using a nuclear warhead on an infant.

Your body disappears and your spirit shouts, “COWARDS! FACE ME THREE OR FOUR AT A TIME!”

Because I can usually handle my own 1v1, 1v2, even 1v3 if I have my gear/skills set up for it. But 1v30? Come on. That’s just not right at all.

Or, as was mentioned before, you’re exploring alone and run into a box canyon for a chunk of ore. You turn around and watch in horror as 5 or 6 of those Risen that can blind/pull/stun all appear out of nowhere.

You know what’s coming and just want to get it over with…
