Guild Wars 2

Anyone from Anet tell me why the dead are allowed to remain in keeps/ fields/everywhere to act as spies for their server? They are dead, force them to respawn turn the camera in the floor so they cannot see or something similar but do not allow them to see any enemy movement.

This has been suggested since beta. But nothing has been done because… ANet.

They won’t even do anything about rezzing mesmers through gates.

i main a mesmer and i think stuff like rezzing people through walls is a stupid mechanic and very broken. on the other hand if there is someone else hiding with me in the keep that can come and rez me then i think it is fine.

but i see your point as some people are corpse spying and that one is pretty annoying.

i think anet should make it impossible to rez without los and also when someone dies turn the screen black so all u can see is your character and nothing else, but they still can be rezed if someone else is hiding in the keep with them.

This is GW2, camera is only allowed to turn into the floor and block vision while in the middle of a fight.

Would be cool if the screen slowly fades to black when you die. Once it turns black then you are forced to respawn. Kind of like your last dying breath :P

Make a 1 min auto-respawn timer like in sPvP. Also remove the ability to hard res (revive from dead) players while in combat. This would make it easier for snaller organised groups to beat large zergs. Would make it harder for thieves to res mesmers and would eliminate corpse scouting. This would also add a competitive aspect to the game and make large battles less messy. In a roleplay point of view a corpse would start to decay after a while making it impossible to be revived. Also reviving someone from fully dead is a really hard process that should require the person to fully concentrate = being out of combat.

Once a player id dead the screen should display the map

Made a similar suggestion last week, and many replied that they also made that suggestion in the passed.
It seems like Anet is perfectly happy with the way the zergs works. Right now I’d rather have ressurection being disabled in all of wvw than this.

It just produces visual clutter during the battle also. Players that have nameplate culling can’t tell if the enemy is dead or not.

I have seen siege blueprints dropped on the dead. Does that mess up their camera and also make it harder to Rez?

Yeah, this bothers me in every game. Kill cam is the most peculiar thing. Basically saying that if you beat a person, then he should be privy to information he wouldn’t otherwise have.

I’m not sure why developers put it in games. I know it wasn’t the case at the beginning, but it’s the norm now.

I don’t mind corps spying so much but I think there needs to be a forced respawn after a short duration and make it so swapping gear doesn’t interfere with that timer like it does now.

If they are corps spying, I’ll abuse the corpse. That is what the candy is for. I would also like a tea bag emote. Having to /sit several times isn’t quite as gratifying.
