Guild Wars 2

So, sometimes when I kill someone in WvW, there’s no downed state. They just die on the spot and no stomp required.

Other times, a normal stomp is needed.

Does anyone else see this?

When a player gets down too many times, they will instantly go to the defeated state when they reach 0 HP again. Also warriors who activate Vengeance will also immediately become defeated if they don’t successfully rally after the time limit.

It may be uplevels. Downed stats isn’t unlocked now until level 7, IIRC. Kill someone who hasn’t unlocked it yet on that character, and there is no satisfaction of stomping.

and there is no satisfaction of stomping.

Actually sudden death on collision with Long Range Shot sounds pretty satisfying to me
