Guild Wars 2

Yup I noticed this too. My match actually ended due to timer when score was only at 250 us. Also seems the respawn timers were changed too.

Yes now it’s wave respawn and 5;00

I like how they do these things and not say anything; oh right guys..
uhh it was always like this.

I didn’t notice anything with the respawns but I definitely appreciate the matches being shorter. I didn’t see a single one get to 500 after the change, made each kill count a lot more.

Its too short now.

Its too short now.

how short?
wave respawn 10 s or shorter?

shorter respawn time may be more beneficial.

more action, less waiting to respawn.

Lopez.7369:

What do you mean? Were respawn timers extended? That would be a good change, too.

Not extended, shortened. Like Puma said, I think they are waves now. I’ve just noticed people spawning alot sooner than the usual 30 secs or more.

The match duration is now too short.

I’d prefer it if it was a 3 minute match, with no respawns.
And half the rewards.

1st. 5 min is waaaaaay to short. 10 min would be better but then why have it go to 500 points?
2nd. Respawn timer was a good idea (suggested by us so we could regroup), but 30 seconds?!?!!?! This is absolutely stupid. If you die right before the timer resets you then get kicked out of spawn alone before the other players are allowed to respawn 30 seconds later.

If you want to do 30 second respawn then don’t make the match 5 minutes long. Also don’t kick players out of the freaken spawn while waiting for the rest of the team to catch the next timer. Instead of having “If player in spawn for 15 seconds” Then “Teleport to said location”; try “If all 5 players in spawn for 15 seconds” Then “Teleport to said location”.

This hot fix was to help allow the teams to regroup but made it worse. If only 1 player dies and everyone else is fine…by the time it lets me respawn they are all dying and I then got to wait for them. That is 1 whole minute out of the fight in a 5 minute match? What a joke?

Reducing the time is not a hotfix. Nothing but a bad joke. They dont do big steps in time or just take 6 months for some advanced changes.
I stopped playing this game because of things like this. Dont want to be a testicle for barely existing development-progress regarding the whole pvp enviroment anymore.
