Guild Wars 2

It’s pointless to be on the bottom of a stack of dead players after each reset.

orrr… hmm… crazy idea but stick with me… use the waypoint thats 10 feet away?

I don’t mind the 2s cost to use the wp. I mind the feeling that it’s unnecessary. It seems like the most convoluted way of organizing. Why not just knock everyone down and return everyone in instance A to the same, newly-created instance B?

I don’t know if it’s a bug of some sort, but occasionally I’ve somehow ended up staying alive at the reset, very odd being the only one standing when there’s a stack of dead people at your feet lol. I’ve occasionally seen it happen to others when I’ve been in the dead pile too.

Being resurrected by an NPC would take forever. You need to use the WP quickly to get back on your feet and check whether you ended up on the same map as your commander and the rest of your squad. There is no time to waste.

P.S. I agree that it’s a stupid mechanic.

One rez generates a chain reaction. Besides players get exp for each rez.

Or, play Engi and use https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Toss_Elixir_R before you go down. The field will revive you as the cutscene plays. Then when the map resets, you’ll be alive and can do whatever.

Elementalist Mist Form works too, if you time the downed skill right so you’re still in Mist when the map resets.

Reaper (or regular Necro) can trait Death Shroud to auto-pop on a killing blow. Works like a charm on the DS reset. I try to rez some folks at the entry death spot but there is that wp so very close … had one person yell at me once for running off before everyone was up because they thought they’d end up in a different map if they wp’d and lose out on the organized run. Wasn’t much I could do, I was commanding North that run and really did need to get my butt to the starting point for the lane.

You must have overlooked the core point I made: It will take too long!

The problem with using the waypoint is you’re not guaranteed to get in the same map. I’ve been in squads and after waypointing was in a different map — when I tried to rejoin in my commander’s map, I got the message the map was full.

I never understood the reason for killing everyone off — why not just a teleport in the same map back to the starting waypoint.

That might almost be too sensible . .
