Guild Wars 2

Anyone else get this feeling? I dont see the whole point of having the “down state” when you can basically just finish them off in 2 seconds. i think the ‘down state’ is a cool idea but your not evening being given a chance to fight back and rally.

When they told us about the “down state” i pictured a battle with people on the ground fighting for their life while the rest of the people fighting tried to win the battle and then could go around killing downed people.

Imo just remove Finish them off and actually attack and kill downed people. If you have to put a timer on Rally so it cant be used for 20 seconds. that way people arent getting up right away if untouched or they have no targets

Another idea could be.. make it so Finish Them Off cant be used for 10 seconds after the player is downed….that way they atleast have a chance to fight back

It would be nice if people that are in the downed state in pvp had less health but a shorter cd on their their 1-4 spells so it would give them more of a chance to get back up.

IMO downed state serves no purpose in PvP other than being an annoying anti fun mechanic… I really don’t see how killing 2 people alone and then get repeatedly knocked down by them throwing rocks at you until his friends show up and kill you is in any way contributing something to make PvP better.

I save a lot of people in downed state., and i was saved a lot too. That state is about surviving, not fighting.
If you are in a 1vs1 fight, you 1 have fear/stun to stay alive some seconds more. Many thing can happen in that moment.

I like downed state, it can truely cause you to either end up dead or be able to get up and fight back.
