Guild Wars 2

I was in a game last night where we were within 30 points of winning and I was running the orb when the enemy team managed to down me just a few feet away from the point. Seeing how we were so close to victory I started screaming into my mic “FORGET ME! JUST GRAB THE ORB!!!” A simple pic up and dodge roll into the point would have gotten us the win. So both of my nearby teammates started trying to pick up the orb but couldn’t…. Since my body was right on top of the orb the only option they had was to heal me, no matter how they positioned themselves they could never pick up the orb.

This feels like something that wasn’t intended but I guess I could be wrong. Is it set up like this to reward the enemy team for getting the kill? Forcing you to rez your runner before you’re allowed to pick up… Seems like a strange feature to me so I figured I’d bring it up here.

You have to hover over the orb with your mouse until the hand icon comes up then right click. It’s a bit fiddly to do under pressure but I’ve done it.

Aaaah, good to know. Didn’t think about that. Especially under the circumstances everyone was in “GO GO GO GO GO” mode. =P

i also think the orb should be spawned in one side of the corpse

but then it’s more exposed to the enemy then as well and might end up being less of an advantage..
