Guild Wars 2

Greetings, I am Darkrachet a r22 engineer primarily, but I also have leaned to play warrior, thief, and guardian at a moderate skill level as well.

Please make a new game type or something where the down state does not exist (arena maybe?) It is no long possible for me to enjoy playing the game all because of the downed state garbage. First to state the things I hate about it. In the regular games (not tournament) it is nearly impossible to revive people because no one other than me seems to know that you can revive. It is very frustrating not being able to revive since there is no one else on your team trying to play well at all. Downing people isn’t too terrible, but often if you have 3 or more people it is just as fast to dps the downed players dead rather than plant the flag. This looks quite silly I might add.

-I don’t know 4 others that want to do tournaments and quite frankly I don’t want to do them much myself I like small arena battles in games and bigger battles like 15v15 not 8v8 it is just an odd number and I don’t like it.

My suggestion: Make arena and remove down state from it. This makes everyone happy the way I see it. Anyone who likes it can play the god forsaken battlegrounds and then anyone who enjoys competitive same group arena based gameplay can act like the downed state never existed.

I really hate to say it, but I will not longer be playing the game until something is added to ease this pain in spvp. I really was hoping that this game would be the answer for balanced and fun pvp, but it is clearly not. The balance is there in spvp, just not the fun part.

Lack of downed state most likely would not work for a Deathmatch game mode due to the mechanics of Guild Wars 2’s combat system.

Hey that sucks man. Try free tournament by yourself, you can enter solo. Tournaments are 5v5, I agree 8v8 is a bit much.

I’ll try them as a last effort I suppose, thanks.

I’ll admit I didn’t know that i could do tournaments with less than 5 people. I’ll being trying some of those maybe just maybe there will be better players there…

It’s a mixed bag. When you find a guild that does tourneys it’s much better.

Unfortunately this doesn’t seem to change anything. I’m assuming that that don’t put partial groups vs partial groups? In other words if I queue with one other we have 3 randoms and then basically go against 5 people that are working together with voice chat? Seems legit

Yes. However, there is a high chance the other 3 are grouped and not “randoms”. Just like anywhere else, you can get good players or bad ones, it’s just a bit easier to get good ones. (plus you can play with your friends)

Edit: They are releasing “paid” tournaments at some point, which should make the free tournaments less challenging.

Yeah downed state needs to be removed all together from the game, or standardize it so every profession has the same abilities. For PvP it’s stupid, it takes way too long to try to revive a team mate so nobody does it, you end up dying trying to revive somebody.

I hate when you win a 1v1 then a random guy comes and stuns/ect you then revives the guy you just beat then they both kick yourkitten
PS why does the reviving animation look like your rubbing their tummy back to life?

hahahahah! That’s exactly what downed state is for!! You will see this happening more often and you need to prepare for it by bringing some kind of invulnerability for your stomps. Also remember to bring your own stuns/cc so you can be like that guy and rescue your teammate at the last second.
