Guild Wars 2

If I could loot those bags/chests next to my dead body then I would be a richer man today. Why the system doesn’t allow that?

Because you are dead.

Btw if you wp back right away the next bags from the next enemies you killed will pop on your feet so you can loot on your way back.

You sound like a PvE player talking in WvW forum….

First of all, my damage contributed to killing the opposition player, and that is why I am rewarded with bags and chests. So the fact that I am now dead, doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be rewarded.

Second of all, a lot of times people die in SMC or towers zerg fights and it is very possible that by the time they run back, that tower or castle is capped by the opposition.

Anyways, It is just a suggestion to ANet since the other day I was on a arrow cart in SM and I got back stabbed by some thief and died next to 1 chest and 15 or more bags. I could see the mouse cursor turn into a hand when I moved the mouse over the bags but couldn’t loot them.

It’s a good suggestion and I am not disagreeing with you, but you asked I just answered the question, and a tip to loot bags as you run back and that works a lot as not all the time the fights are far and/or inside smc/keeps/towers

I’m sure at some point Anet will implement such a system.. but I really hope they just add the lootbags in our inventory as stacks up to 250, then just let us open at our leisure.

It really would make the battle more fluid if players weren’t running around mashing “F”, picking up banners and stopping to plant them. I know they can just not do that until after the battle, but the problem lies in if they die, they probably won’t collect their bags.. so let the “F” mashing begin.

Well right there is your main problem.. get off your AC and fight like a proper WvW’er.. … then you would of been able to of grabbed your loot while you played the game like real fighters

This is where a condition spec wins over power vs zergs. You’re killed, WP back and sit for the next 5 mins watching the bags roll in

I found that you can still collect bags while in the downed state. Just spam AoE loot.

Darn fine suggestion… ANET give this player an MVP award

So being on AC is now considered improper fighting? and not accepted within your WvW rules?

Two options.

1. Run back and collect the bags. (This isn’t always feasible.)
2. Respawn as soon as you’re defeated. Any bags that would drop for you still will at your respawn location where you’ll be able to collect them.

It’s easier to do things when you’re not dead.
