Guild Wars 2

This is my opinion; I do not think Revive Orbs should be in the store for purchase. Its a game breaking item. It allows you to do stuff that you could not otherwise do. Get to places you should not be able to, or get past mechanics like agony and so on. This is not a cosmetic item or something along the lines of character, inventory or bank slots. This item leads to unforeseen and unintended game play results and situations. I feel that any tactic that involves the use of these is cheap.

If Anet wants to keep it then they should make these obtainable at reasonable cost from a vendor.

if i understand correctly, you are saying:

“i cannot afford revive orbs. remove them, or put them in the vendor so that i could use them too”

am i right? or did i miss something

if that’s the case, then sir, you are being cheap. if it’s not, then i apologise in advance.

?… how is this a game breaking item?
you cant use it in wvw or spvp in any form… so how can this possibly be game breaking. its a nice thing to have from time to time if you happens to have one in your inventory. but its a very expensive revive. and ive never seen or heard about it being used in a game breaking way. if you want to talk about game breaking items please start a thread about the charrs invis for 10sec kit.

Care to throw in an argument in why is that a game-breaking item? I fail to see your point, as it was already stated that is a PvE only item…

I don’t think the original poster has actually used one. They are terrible really.

First off its not an immediate revive, a ghostly healer goes about picking you up like a normal player would. Then after all that there is a debuff that pretty much makes you one shotable for 10 seconds. this debuff also decreases your movement speed terribly.

well this is new, I guess you have to find new things to complain about just to be original or what ?

btw in case you`re too cheap to try them yourself (you probably are) the orbs take a long time to revive you and they give a nasty 10 sec debuff that slows u to a crawl after you get up, so calling them “game breaking” is just stupid

they`re perfectly fine and you should be ashamed of making such a thread

Well they do make progressing into the Fractals 60+ possible because with enough revive Orbs it’s virtually impossible to fail.

There may be other tricks but revive orbs are one way to deal with the Jade Maw Agony past level 50.

There have also been numerous threads of people exploring the world after falling through textures, stuff that probably isn’t intended either.

So game-breaking? Probably not, but it is selling a power as it’s required for Fractals Progression.

They’re pretty much useless for use outside of dungeons. I went through a few of them I got from chest drops. Death upon resurrection unless you happened to run to an area outside any mobs normal area – and there aren’t many of those in places you’re going to get killed.

I would definitely agree, if they had been added with or after the Lost Shores event. They serve a decent enough purpose, as they allow a solo gamer to accomplish things they might not be able to without it. Exploring the world via bugs though, I can’t see blame put on the item, as I’ve gotten to areas I probably shouldn’t have been able to by falling through the world or clipping through an area that didn’t have solid collision detection. I’m not arguing with you, just putting my opinion out there.

Wow that wasn’t a kittening contradiction at all.

LOL, I’ve gained 2 of these from monthly’s or whatnot, each time it stopped rezzing me at like 95%. Truly terrible items.

I’ve gotten three of these before from Black Lion Chests. I used two of them to prevent me from needing to restart jumping puzzles completely over, and one of them to bypass a champion in order to get a vista.

I don’t see the big deal, personally.
