Guild Wars 2

So they are going to change the following:

Rallying
Only one person will be able to rally when a tagged enemy dies.

Reviving
You won’t be able to revive players while you are in combat.

FINALLY! These changes have been requested since the launch of the game. The fact that it took the devs this long to realize it disgusts me…. I left the game before HoT came, but this might get me back to roaming again with my thief. Fighting outnumbered might actually be worth it now. :p

What do you guys think about these changes?

I like them though i find that some skills that work off of rezing may become even more useless once the cant rez full downs in combat. I think though effects should be updated some in wvw.
It pushes the game to a bit more “hardcore” that ppl love to say they are but realy they are not.

Step in the right direction. I would still like to see a forced port when dead and no rallies in WvW. Downed players could only be brought back with player help.

The current system is skewed heavily toward population being more important than skill.

I want to see a proper test of the effect of the changes so we can actually get some idea of how it will affect large group fighting, but this is apparently not going to happen. They should have done a test like they did a year ago when they put some changes in for a few weeks.

This is definitely a step in the right direction. Who ever thought of this idea should get a promotion. It makes more sense and makes each kill actually count towards something now.

Positive changes. The only thing they haven’t clarified is how the system will determine which downed person rallies off the death.

Denying reviving the dead while in combat will be one of the best changes they have made in the life of the game.

Beyond that, I can only repeat the above: Step in the right direction. That said, there remains a bevy of other issues that favor large groups. If nothing else is addressed, I do not see these changes as altering the landscape significantly. We can hope more is coming.

They said the " nearest" player will get the rally.

Just a correction. Its one of the best changes they will make. Maybe. Soon. Later in 2016. At least this year. Possibly. Well its a rumour anyway.

Personally don’t like the change. They need to focus on fixing bugs before changing mechanics. Also I love getting some free kills off people picking up the downed.

The WvW community thought of this, and has asked for it on several occasions for the past couple of years. We should all get promoted!
