Guild Wars 2

In tPvP, I notice that sometimes, our opposed team member respawn VERY fast after being killed. 1s, I already see them back to the point. I, myself,when we went down (killed), our respawn is like 14s for the next revive? So I wonder what is the difference between two. (one take 14s to respawn and 1 take 14s to respawn)Is it bugs or working as intended?

in hotjoin, there is a “wave” respawn mechanic every 20 seconds (x:19, x:39 and x:59 if I remember right), so if you stomp someone at x:37, for example, he will respawn 2 seconds later

That’s is just funny. So we should not stomp people when this “wave” respawn mechanic draw near. This is juts plain stupid.

This is in Hotjoin, not tPvP.
It was patched out of tPvP last year, yes it was a tactic used to give players longer respawn timers.
They left it in Hotjoins so that when players die they spawn with allies and can co-ordinate slightly better, so they don’t die running in single file.
In tPvP the spawn timer was almost always 18-20seconds as people would always time their stomps to give you the longest res time, this prompted people to complain about the extra 5 seconds and sometimes that their enemies would res too fast due to them not being able to stomp at any other time.

I encountered it in tPvP, not hotjoin though. So are they ACTUALLY fix it yet?
