Guild Wars 2

With the new changes prevening you from respawning while people are in combat my party has already discovered an ugly flaw.

I am dead in the lasers, but still in combat because the lasers are hitting my dead body for 20k twice a second, so I cannot respawn because lolcombat, forcing me to disconnect just so we can try again.

Anet, what?

certain, we were all standing infront of the lasers, the weird thing was 3 of us died, 2 of us were unable to spawn because we were indivudually in combat, but the 3rd guy wasn’t being hit while dead, and was able to respawn.

We were’nt downed, we were completely dead. Two of us were getting hit by the lasers while completely dead for our full hp every tick so there is no way to res us. those two were unable to respawn because it said we were in combat. the third person was fully dead, but died in such a way that he was no longer being hit by the lasers, and was able to respawn. We tried it after, 4 of us standing outside, no one in combat, I jumped in, got killed and was unable to respawn. I was being hit by lasers while dead at the time.

lasers are dealing damage to players that are already dead (NOT downed) dead like 6 feet under.

that same bug was happening even before the update. People died and used the waypoint (which can only be used if you’re dead-dead) and went down on top of waypoint. The lasers keep doing damage if we’re dead-dead (not downed) that’s all that needs fixing ;p

Hope I could help

Robert Hrouda.1327:

I’ll add that to my to-do list this time around, but this issue is not a blocking issue.

Thanks for posting!

Sounds like a “blocking issue” to me.

When I read the title I already knew what the issue was going to be.

Several times while doing that part of the dungeon, the lasers were able to kill me AFTER WAYPOINTING (this was before the patch, mind you). I could already tell, if the lasers are hitting you even though you’re dead, you’re going to be considered ‘In combat’ and it will block you from respawning.

In effect, the only current solution for this is to logout and log back in or have the whole party dead. This is a terrible bug and I’ll probably avoid that dungeon until it’s fixed.

New patch that will fix it will be released at the end of February?

there’s no such bug or flaw, people (those who are alive) just need to stop auto attacking and distance themselfs from the laser beams. my group just completed CoE all paths without any problems, hell i even say THANKS FOR THE NERFS, its even easier than CoF now.

Still it’s possible to do it with 4 ppl?

The laser actually does damage to your corpse, so it keeps the group in combat. This happens with some of the lasers, but not all of them as far as I know.

If you are suffering from this bug, log off and rejoin the instance. You will be dead, but at least you can use the Waypoint again.

Thanks for the tip Nokaru! Just want to join in on this, since CoE is by far my most favorite dungeon. Even before the patch, every time I died to the lasers, I would consistently take damage until I hit the waypoint button.

I really hope this gets placed higher on the designer’s list of bugfixes, because this is DEFINITELY content blocking. I just find it appalling that it will probably take a while for this to be fixed.

Bump for a response, since I think Robert misunderstood the issue.
