Guild Wars 2

What a stupid idea this was!
Now the entire part must be punished for one weak player.
This wont increase teamwork it will ostracise players that are weak in the group, as in future other players won’t want them in the party.
If you want to discourage res-rushing all you do is to put a greater downed penalty on re-spawning compared to being revived. Or make it permanent for re-spawning and temp for a revival or something.
Before the change if you had four good players they could cope for a while when one person is downed, thus that person can make the tactical decision to wait for a revival or re-spawn. Now the part HAS to revive him, could very much face a party wipe now! As when there is only one person left he has to revive the other 4, he can’t kite while the other 4 res and come and help him. There is no way one person can take a beating from a boss and res a fallen party member.
Again. What a stupid idea!!!

Yes, party wipes are now possible… life is no longer an automatic pass.
