Guild Wars 2

If you break through the glass or fall from hammer platform you can activate the glider and fly to the nearest updraft eventually to get back into the game instead of dying, This way you still lose time but don’t give the enemy points and maybe you are back faster than if you have to respawn. Should not work from every position though (depends on updraft placement).

Probaly some map modification needed.

i like this idea. this would add a lot to the play of the map.

i approve of this idea

indeed, would be interesting and good idea considering peeopls opinion on the map currently

Could be intrusting.

Though I think it should require fast reaction to reach the updraft.

That would require people to buy HOT. The new stuff is being locked behind a paywall (except stronghold and WvW).

Cool idea.

It could shift the pull oneshot issue in a wasting time feature.

I don’t think it would be troublesome to add this to one of the old pvp maps as a map specific mechanic.

Btw it could be modified in a lot of ways. Like only allow you to trigger the glider if you have more than 50% hp (to stop just gliding away if you are about to die). Mainly it should make those 100% hp fall deaths that are just too punishing less polarizing. Create an inbetween, ya know?

I never said it was about difficulty.

Neither did I. I don’t think it would be troublesome from a marketing point of view. They are already adding new features to the old game. If it makes the map better I can definitely see them do it even if gliders stay exclusive to HOT on the PvE side.

I always said there should be a way to get out of there if you survive, or get people killed faster.

That’s really cool lol

I wonder if you can target gliding people.

Interesting but I think they want you to fall and “deal” with it.

How about we just remove Skyhammer altogether?

Yes please. Skyhammer is the map equivalent of Satan’s ballsack.

Rapid fire on gliding targets yes pls

lo and behold the awe of the AA ranger!

…the kitten is this game turning into.

Would be pretty gud.

Only if returned players will get a +50% incoming damage debuff + revealed for next 10s after coming back. Falling shall be a punishment for failing CC game, not just a break to restore HP and cooldowns.

I would rather make it that you can only trigger the glider if you are above a certain amount of hp (like 40%). If they knock you off below 40% you should die. Also it needs to be balanced wisely in terms of where the updrafts are and how much time you lose with that. Should still be a significant disadvantage to get knocked down and “oh I am about to die, let’s escape by jumping” should not be viable.
