Guild Wars 2

Anyone know if there is an idle kick timer while dead, and if so, what can be done to reset it? I’m dead near the top of the jumping puzzle, and would rather wait for someone to res me than doing the puzzle again.

Well, I can answer my own question. There is an idle timer, and even spamming chat doesn’t reset it.

If anyone does know a way to reset the idle timer while dead in WvW let me know.

I think as long as you’re active in the game… checking inventory, buying/selling from the store (even dead!), I think any timer is reset.

Re-equip your weapon.

If there is a way to reset it why have it in the first place?

Because the point of an AFK timer is to detect if someone is AFK, not dead.

I can empathize with your situation in the jumping puzzle, but honestly I’m a supporter of players being automatically returned to a waypoint shortly after dieing in WvW. People use death as a way to spy while being completely “invulnerable”.

Yeah, but with as bad as the culling and view distance is in this game, and how far the trebs shoot, it’s really necessary.
