Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone,

I just thought I’d make an quick suggestion here for the WvWvW Dolyaks, since I saw that in the last living story patch you also just like in WvWvW had to protect dolyaks and bring them to the next keep or tower to get more supplies.

The suggestion is that, in PvE on the new map, if an dolyak there dies, you still have a certain amount of time to ressurect the dolyak before it completly vanishes and respawns, this does not happen in wvw unfortunatly, in WvWvW when there dies an dolyak it vanishes instantly and it takes about 2-3 minutes until it respawns.

So I wanted to make the suggestion to maybe also add that nice little feature into WvWvW, since it sometimes really is annoying when you or you and others from your server push dolyaks into the towers or keeps and then there comes a group of 2-5 enemy players and kills your dolyak or even farms dolyaks on your server and it is then instantly gone, I think it would be great if it also had a timer like 30 secs. or 1 minute to be able to fend off the enemy player and be able to ressurect the dolyak or maybe have the chance some other player comes along and helps you to fend off the player or ressurect the dolyak while you fend of the enemy player before the dolyak vanishes completly

Thanks for reading and your time.

Regards

I could see that being abused/used so that players on opposite sides would team up to farm the dolyak slayer achievement. Though 1 million yaks killed is still excessive and would take a long time even if you farmed them in this manner.

I have always wondered why we kill the dolyaks instead of just kidnapping them and their cargo.

If you were allowed to ressurect the yaks, the people killing them would just wait there for 30s and kill everybody who comes close. I think it’s fine as it is. It’s a different thing on the silverwastes where people aren’t (yet) organized.

And well, if you could just kidnap them having camps (except for the PPT) would be pointless.

That would horribly nerf the role of killing yaks, further pushing the WvW strategy towards zerging.

The whole reason why those few people ran in and killed your yak is because that was their specific goal to deny supply. The analog in Silverwastes allows you to revive the yaks because as it is open world PvE content, it is designed to allow for the players to easily win.

This was suggested in the WvW forum. It’ll do more harm than good.
