Guild Wars 2

Is it me or the respawn countdown in this game is random ?
Imo this game should have more stable respawn countdown..

Its ridiculous when you just killed someone and when you are chasing down the other player, the player you just killed 5 sec ago came in and interrupt.

Happens a lot of time

15secs cd respawn

interesting..is it always 15 second ?

fromt teh time u die/kill. yes always 15 secs afaik

in tournaments it’s 15s. I think it’s different in hot join. But the moment they’re dead (not down, but actually dead) the 15s timer starts.

I believe hotjoin uses a wave timer so that multiple people will respawn at the same time (softens the need to wait at spawn to regroup/cuts down things like spawn camping, etc.) I can’t remember what the exact times are, but it’s something like three preset respawn times per minute. If you die right before one of those times, you’ll respawn quickly. If you die right after one of those times, you’ll respawn slowly.

Respawn timers for hotjoin = :58, :38, :18.
