Guild Wars 2

Typical scenario, one of my teammates is fighting someone while the rest are elsewhere, and he gets downed by said enemy. Before enemy can finalize the kill, I come out of nowhere and quickly down the assaulter and finish them off rezzing my teammate. After which a slew of insults comes my way from the would-have-been killer. It doesn’t even need to be me, it could be anyone number of people in that scenario. Let’s kick it up a bit, my teammate isn’t downed yet but clearly losing, then i come in and we both defeat the person. I am all for fighting my own battles myself but if help comes my way then i don’t look down on it. Don’t I have the right to protect my teammates?

If you want to lose the game, by all means don’t help your team mates
Those people have to learn that this is not a 1vs1 pvp game.

Are you actively going into duel rooms and doing this or something?..

Of course not, i know when a duel room is a duel room -_- lol

It happens to me occasionally. It usually means the person is just nonsensically raging and nothing more. I usually ignore it and it subsides.

A friend and I fight 2v2+ from time to time and the only way we keep our selves going is by helping each other out. We strategically go down to get a free heal (elementalist res glyph). When my friend or myself are in a 1v1 situation and losing then there is no hesitation for the other to rock up, kick kittens and chew gum, them kittens.

This is a team game, playing with your team will win it.

they just mad.

let them be.

if they say kitten words, feel free to report them.

It can be frustrating when you fairly have an engagement and down a person, only to have another (or zerg) steal a victory from the jaws of defeat. The assist gets points, the solo player who fairly downed stated gets nothing. If you have this happen to you frequently, it can get to you. Hence why after a while if you see your getting an advantage, but others are moving your way (harder to see now with mini map changes) it is better to just move on.

Just say something like, “lol, you suck noob” that should set things right.

If you want to play 1v1, don’t join a map with a team on it. Or – I couldn’t care less if I run into someone complaining that I just helped my team to win. If they complain immaturely enough, they may get a report on top of it.

I just make it a point to follow them around and help with every fight after that!

+1. I dare all the people saying it doesn’t suck tbh … either you mindlessly zerg, is semi-afk or just aren’t competitive minded. Sure it is team-based, and that IS what counts, but we all know that feeling when you get into a “fair” fight (be that 1vs1 or 2vs2) just to see the zerg arrive just as you try to finish it off. It is a part of the game … mobility is a huge thing imho.

I’m always happy to see my teammates helping me, except when we end up fighting the poor enemy at 5 vs 1…
Then I know something isn’t quite right and I expect the map to switch colors within the next few seconds.

Don’t mind at all assistance from 1-2 roamers though, I thought it was part of their role to come where they are needed?
Get that kill quickly, move on and let one person down the poor enemy. Makes people available to go elsewhere.

Obviously it is, we have all been there. But you can’t win every fight, that doesn’t seem to get through people’s heads.

The answer is : Stop playing hotjoin.
