Guild Wars 2

… and gold <<< needed amount

It would be nice if on death, you got free map travel to any waypoint in the current zone, the cost to repair the armor will be more then what it costs to move to a waypoint as well, and for those characters short on cash its a real shame for them to be useless because noone is around to revive you and your resources are insufficient.

Never happened to me.

The only way I can see it happening to people is if they run a ton of alts and keep most of their gold in the bank so that they can access it on alts.

this is not gonna happen because you can exploit how you described it.

for example.
I enter a zone
take off my armor (to not have repair costs)
get killed
wp all the way to the other side
zone
repeat the process untill i arrive for free at my destination.

if for some reason you would say, yeah then it wont apply to naked toons, then i just keep spare cheap armor in my bags to do this.

I understand the high cost for lvl 80’s can be frustrating, it even forced me to run/fight all the way where i need to be, sorta forcing me to relive the content over and over witch i dont mind anyway.

Fair point lone wolf, and problems like that will always be there. But take my situation, I used the black lion trading group to have some fun with the artificer profession. My main character has no gold to map, yes maybe i should have been a little more careful but oh well, hindsight is 20/20.

The point is my main character is now out of commission because I got lagged out in the middle of a an event and he died. I think to prevent people from abusing the system as you’re suggesting, what about adding a timer or something? If you die and log out for a specific period of time, when you log in again the character will be revived at the nearest waypoint/city/whatever. And make the timeout about an hour or so, to prevent abuse, but also provide people who wind up in situations like this a way out.

If you can not afford the nearest waypoint, then the nearest waypoint will cost the same as the amount of money you have. If you have no money, the nearest waypoint will be free.

I still find it annoying that on top of paying to get somewhere after you die, you also have to pay to repair your gear. Double charge is what I see in this.

It is especially irritating that the higher level your character is, it costs more to go the same distance your lower level character can for less.

I have no problem with gear repairs, but I do disagree with the way point costs on top of repairs. Make it so that if you die you are sent to the nearest way point at no charge. Not an option but automatically, which would actually prevent exploits.

if your character have no money to port when your dead it automatically uses money in your bank. If your character and bank ran out of money the closest way point to you would be free.

I’d allow players to have a “debt” as a result of this. Once you travel back to any major city, you are prohibited from using non-city teleportation until you pay back the debt.

Free Waypoint travel to NEAREST waypoint could be useful and not easily exploitable.

Free Waypoint travel to NEAREST waypoint could be useful and not easily exploitable.

Exactly how it should work, armor upkeep is enough of a punishment upon death.
