Guild Wars 2

I believe that the downed state is toxic to pvp specifically as a whole. Not a lot of people enjoy the aspect of killing someone and having them not actually be dead. This scenario is the least fun you can possibly have in pvp. When one person kills another player by out skilling them, then the downed player downs the other player. Now both players are laying on the ground downed and throwing spells at each other. What is even more annoying is when you killed that person first, but they downed you and then did more damage while downed than you did and are now upped and got the kill, even though you out skilled them and downed them first. You should be the victor, not the person who is downed first.

When you kill someone, they should be dead. Going through a second health bar and new state of fighting is just annoying. Imagine adding downstate to every single pvp game. People would be kittened. A poll should be given to every active player of if downed state should stay or be removed from pvp specifically. There is no problem with it being in pve, it is actually helpful and doesn’t bother the mobs obviously.

2v2 and 3v3 + arenas should be implemented with killing being the objective. With no downed state and you only have one life. Dueling should also be added. As well as inspecting other people’s cool gear.

If you guys agree with me, you should up vote this post somehow please.

But how you do prevent class imbalances ?
Such as heavy comps ?
Implant a ’’Buff’’ that each 6th auto attack removes a boon ? While you take 150 damage for each auto attack (for spamming it) ?

Or how about stealth ?
A ’’Buff’’ that each auto-attack is used are a Sonar that show the enemies on the minimap (stealth or unstealth) , with the 150 damage drawback ?

How can you prevent ’’runners’’ like WoW or Wildstar ?
Each death awards ‘’conquest points’’ ?
Or implant a mid objective that tries to force ppl in mid ?

that’s your personal opinion and belief.
for me, i find the people who find downed state to be “toxic to pvp” are rather “toxic to the community” themselves.

Not a lot of people enjoy the aspect of killing someone and having them not actually be dead.

again, this is your own assumption.

just because you personally cannot accept downed state, you quickly assumed “a lot of people” think the same as you.

nope. wrong. incorrect.

downed is not dead.
get over that already.

deal with it.

2 vs 2 or 3 vs 3 arenas should be added, yes.

however, downed state will not be removed.

i do not agree and have replied accordingly.

How so?

One of my favorite things in PvP is stabbing my defeated foe through the chest with a variety of finishers! No other game has this and the gratification it gives me keeps me coming back. This is just another aspect of how great the combat is in GW2, and finishers couldn’t happen without a downed state.

I love having that option, and with that said, why not have custom arenas with the option to turn off the downed state? I’m all for giving players options!

As for 2v2, 3v3, 5v5 death match arenas and dueling…YES! I have been asking for this for a long time! I suggest you check this thread out and contribute your ideas,

personally, i find these people to be so full of themselves, very so arrogantly assuming that everyone else hates the downed state and will always make noise on the forums attempting to remove downed state in vain.

well, maybe calling them “toxic to the community” is too rude of me.

perhaps “mildly annoying to myself” would be more proper.

Could it be because you don’t understand or empathize with their perspective?

The same fear you have for your loss of enjoyment if down state were removed is the very real displeasure players who don’t enjoy the mechanic have to put up while playing.

Granted; down state certainly has its moments, but I also think it restricts some very enjoyable possibilities! But I guess we’ll never know…

I think so.

They should just give ranger frozen soil spirit to prevent enemies from rezzing downed players.

I’m kidding of course.

dancing on a downed person is more gratifying than dancing on a body because the cant just re-spawn away and miss my epic dance routine i made just for them

remove downstate is a terrible idea and would only work when you implement healer classes.

If there would be no downstate you would see even more bunkers.

so no thanks
