Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, I’m new here so please forgive my noobishness xD

I was wondering when is it considered you get a kill in a conquest map (structured pvp), is it when you’re the one that puts the flag in someone to “finish them” or is it when you actually get the final hit to get them into the state where you can “finish them”.

If it’s the latter does it mean that if you get the final hit and they get into the “downed state” but then get back up and you put them into the downed state AGAIN, you get 2 kills to your score?

Usually in mmos you just kill someone boom he’s dead, +1 to your kill count. It works differently in gw2 so I was wondering, would appreciate it if anyone could answer my question and resolve my curiosity. Thanks in advance!

I believe it’s when someone is completely dead. However, you don’t have to be the one that lands the last hit to kill the person, or be the one that stomps the person. As long as you have done a certain amount of damage (I have no idea what, but it’s not that much) then you will get +1 to your kill count.

I think.

there’s a cutoff somewhere with how much dmg you need to do i think. Sometimes i’ll tag someone once or twice when they are down and wont get a kill credit, other times i’ll do “significant” damage while they are downed and no need to stomp and do get credit, regardless of doing any damage prior

Hmm so it’s not clear cut when you get a kill:S it seems confusing
