Guild Wars 2

I do believe this is a good idea but last night while doing path 3 of cof “the bomb run part” a few of us kept dying while attempting the run, the problem we had was that we could not res once dead, we had to re log several times in order to complete it, i hope A-Net work out some sort of mechanic to fix this problem

Could not res at a waypoint, or other players couldn’t res other players?

Could be they downed under conditions that made it dangerous to attempt a rescue.

Having not done CoF path 3 i’m not sure what this “bomb run” entails, but it sounds like you were employing tactics developed with res rush in mind.

I’m sure it won’t take long for people to adapt and come up with new strategies. Then Anet will revamp every boss and we’ll have to do it again. :p

even after people had died none of us could res at the way point, this bomb run is a little like the boulder mechanic in path 1, you have to run along a path pretty quickly in order to avoid being blown up by a series of bombs

So everyone died and you couldn’t res at the waypoint?

If that’s the case, you may want to report this in the bug section.

I didn’t do a lot of dungeons in the first place because they are simply too hard and take too long, and this doesn’t sound like an improvement. I guess it’s too much to expect that we’ll ever get solo dungeon modes. Oh well.

I would say it will end fatal if you remove re-rushing waypoints.
You should leave the decision to the team / player.
Dungeons are already far too hard and take far too long,
it is hard to find party members for dungeons, sometimes I had to search one hour (!).
It would be a loss in playing-quality if you implement your plans!

They already removed them.

I haven’t done any dungeons post-patch yet, but maybe you simply can’t waypoint res while a party member is in combat?

Spend less time on the forums and more time making friends!

Or go play Witcher 2

Correct. That’s exactly what you cannot do now.

Personally I think this game will be much better for it. Especially once they finish going through every boss in the game and giving them unique stages and mechanics, rather than “do the same thing for 10 minutes till it dies”.

i do think its a good idea as it will bring tactics to life, but that said in certain areas such as the bomb run in path 3 it simply doesnt work

I disconnected in CoE today and when I re-entered I couldn’t Way Point because my team was still in combat. I had to run to pretty much the end of the dungeon while they did all the work. At least let us WP when we’re alive. Haha :P
You could just say I’m plain lazy
