Guild Wars 2

Are you sure the ranger’s pet didn’t just rez him? (just timed it so that when u spike war that he got up)

I have never seen a person rally off a friendly.

I thought that the ranger’s down state skill 3 was that his pet raised him.

Pet’s healing is OP.
Nerf.

Was this in hot-join or ranked/unranked?

In hot-join this may occur, if the warrior switched teams, and was not a long time ago an opponent from whom the ranger had attacked.

In ranked/unranked I have never encountered such a bug,. But ofc it is still possible, that one exists.
Without a video about what happened, we can’t rule out, that you simply missed something. I also don’t think without a video the devs can recreate the situation to find a possible bug.

Just saw this as well in a Temple match. First engagement, 2v3, my teammate and I down all 3, stomp the first one, the other 2 instantly rally. Not cool.

There is no expiration to some one doing critical damage to a person.
Not sure if a health reset nullifies that.

If that person dies on the other side of the map, even if 5 minutes gone by since you last did damage to him, you will get the kill or the rally up. Some one could easily have died across the map, rallying the ranger.

Also if a person you do critical damage to suddenly drops the game, you will instant rally. Any of these could have contributed to some one “suddenly rally” when it was otherwise impossible.

Other reasons for those who don’t know…
-Warrior Elite’s banner can instant rally team
-A Stealthed Thief
-A Guardian’s sigil

I just lost a point because someone rallied off me spiking his teammate. I downed both a warrior and ranger, spiked the warrior, and the ranger rallied. I then died.

This isn’t the first time this has happened. It’s been going on for months. I’ve reported it before.

This is an enormous, game-breaking bug, so I have no idea how it’s lasted for so long. Please fix.

I have never experienced this “bug” in my entire GW2 gaming career. You realise that there are plenty of insta res skills right?

Pretty sure Lopez has no clue WTF shes talking about. Hell when asked if pet rezzed the ranger, her response was….SHE HAD NO SPIRITS.

Id bet my left kitten that the ranger was pet rezzed.

First, Lopez has been around long enough that you should at least give him (her?) the benefit of the doubt.

Second, I have been in situations like this where enemies have rallied with multiple downed and I have no idea how. This is worth exploring.

Lopez said that he was sure the pet didn’t rez. He went on to say there were no spirits because that is the next predictable question. Learning the English language can be fun ;o

You must have had a deprived childhood if you think this.

Well since we can’t go back and look at the match, we cannot tell you guaranteed what happened. I can pretty much tell you from experience though….. Ranger did not rally off of his teammate, he rallied off of yours…… at some point in time he most likely tagged a player on your team. The player on your team I am guessing was not at the same point as you but still in combat from the tag and died. This would rally the ranger. If you would have looked at your team right at that moment. Guaranteed someone on your team just got stomped out off point. Just because you didn’t see him get stomped out…that rally happens if tagged.

If they damaged someone on your team, and that team mate dies on another point, they will rally from it. Ever heard the phrase, "rally bot?"

Lopez.7369:

Nah, he rallied off his teammate.

This isn’t the first time it’s happened, either. Although this is the first time it’s happened to me in a 1v2 situation.

Ugh /facepalm
Another person that can’t accept a common sense answer.

You are right, we are all wrong. We are not worthy of you.

……………………..Yes, he rallied off his teammate…….We are sorry we thought otherwise. Forgive us all mighty one.

Reflected damage should be easy to test. Take any ranged class, have him shoot at a reflect effect from behind a teammate. The shots will reflect and hurt his teammate. Then down both and stomp the teammate and see if there is a rally.

IMO this still should not happen because as far as I know the reflected projectiles are considered to be owned by the reflector, not the original shooter.

Just saw this happen, so yes it’s a bug that let’s you rally off teammates somehow.

Lopez.7369:

downed another thief and engineer pretty much instantly. […] Yet when we stomped the thief, the engineer rallied.

Or the Engi just used ‘Toss Elixir R’ and you missed it.

Noscoc explained this once. I forget what the actual explanation of it is, but it I believe it has something to do with you transferring on necro.

maybe if somehow you threw a ranged attack, that got reflected, and somehow the reflected projectile hit your ally, so somehow YOU shot your ally? and then they die and rally you?

im just trying to think of how a bug like that could even exist.

This has a huge impact on the game when it happens.

It should have been a priority fix months ago ;\

Oooooooooh snap, so thats whats causing it?
I thought I was going crazy.
