Guild Wars 2

Please? I find it annoying that it pops up in my face when half of the time I don’t even care for it. It’s not a matter of it being useful or informative, just the fact that it doesn’t need to be around when it’s around.

I suggest a button of some sort to appear that says Death Breakdown for the tooltip, so that when people want to see it, they’ll click it on their own accord and aren’t forced to have it in their face every time they die. It should be off to the side or right underneath the team scores.

Another reason I propose this is due to the fact that if you have the Death Breakdown up and you go back to your team’s Waypoint, the Death breakdown stays in front and you’re unable to see your character or what’s around them. I think it happens if someone revives you as well, so now you’re back in the game and have this recap blocking your view. Sometimes the instructions come back up as well for absolutely no good reason. It’s annoying and I hope this can be fixed.

Surely you’ve noticed it by now. I feel that removing the NEED to go and click the X on the Death Recap will help make this game more enjoyable for everyone; new, core, and hardcore alike.

EDIT: Ugh… Please remove OR fix the death breakdown… Sorry, I had to post this in between playing matches.

I find it useful to know what killed me and clicking a button to close the window is not hard whatsoever. I haven’t noticed it doing anything weird but what I would find annoying is being forced to click a button to even see it at all.

I’d just like an option to toggle it off in the options menu somewhere. I really don’t care what hit me or for how hard usually. Or a more sensible place to put it. Like a “death log” you can check on at the end of a match or something.

If you’re trying to get back into the action, it’s in the way if you neglect clicking it. I never said it wasn’t useful, but EVERY SINGLE TIME? Just try it. Die, then don’t close it. See what happens.

It shouldn’t do that. It should close by itself since you chose to resurrect. Sometimes it takes 10 sec+ to be able to go back to your waypoint. If it takes that long for you to understand the death breakdown, I feel sorry for you; truly.

If you have 10+ seconds to get back to the action, what’s the problem?

I’m pretty sure you can even hit ESC to get rid of it. I’m “working” right now, so I can’t verify that, but I’m pretty sure I’ve closed it with ESC before.

Sometimes you actually have fewer seconds. That’s why. I’ve had it be around 2 seconds and was trying to click to return to waypoint as soon as I died.

And the problem is that I’d like to see the action going on around me in case other people live and are able to resurrect me. It’s an important aspect of sPvP and I really don’t feel like having the dumb recap in my face when I didn’t ask for it in the first place. Maybe an option to keep it off is better, but I feel as if you’re missing the point to helping make the gameplay cleaner while making its transitions better.

It’d be like if you were watching TV, a sitcom we’ll say, and as they go to commercials, they recap exactly what you just watched, every single time. That’s just terrible.

I’d like to be able to see everything around me in case of new developments so that I don’t just take the Waypoint back if others happen to be around me or coming by. You get points for resurrection, so most people actually try and do it when possible. I know you’re still thinking “Just manually close the window or hit escape,” but I just don’t feel it would be that way. Like answering someone when they didn’t ask a question. It should be the other way around obviously. YOU ask the question, it answers.

I see what you’re saying and I don’t disagree that an option to turn it off would be a bad thing, but it seems like a very small point to be so worked up about.

Hopefully most players don’t waste the time trying to res a dead player when there’s action going on around them, but I’ve definitely seen dumber things happen (in sPvP at least).
