Guild Wars 2

There’s two issues I’ve been seeing lately in WvW that I haven’t run into before. I was wondering if these are known to be exploits, or if this is some sort of in-game trick:

1. I see an enemy thief urnning past and I try to attack him, but it keeps saying “X requires a target”. I never lose target, and the guy doesn’t stealth, but it doesn’t let me hit him with anyb targeted abilities.

2. I down an enemy player, and some other enemy starts to res him, and he’s up instantly (not after 5 seconds like with mercy gear, just immediately up as soon as res begins). I would think this was someone killing 1-hit wildlife, but happened with the same 2 people 3 times in a row, and there weren’t that many rabbits around. This also only seems to work when someone is ressing.

1. I’ve seen when someone lags way out of sync with the server. Take out a ranged weapon and shoot at them to see where their ‘server’ body is as opposed to what you see. I don’t know if it’s done on purpose or because they have third world internet.

#2, I’ve never seen yet.

2. about the rezzing, i think guardian signet of mercy (trait?) instantly heal the downed player, doesn’t it ? ranger elite spirit can also instant revive a player i think…

@number 2
yea i sometime also feels like that, i saw a guys downed to nearly half a bar, and then a solo ally of him come and revive him in a matter of 1-2 sec, with the many enemy AOE and AR are targeted in his position :/……
mehh, oh well

I always carry “Elixir R”/ENG ress with me, so when I´m about to die, toss it on ground, where I´m about to fall .. many times, it´ll ress me back up on the first tick – even when receiving dmg, due to the fact that I play based on balanced stats – which includes Healing.
It might be the same matter, in case of your enemy encounter. Might have used a utility, or simply a PowerToughnessHealing build. Or, more simpler explanation – after all .. when in group, it´s always good to have at least one support based player around.

Ele’s also have an utility ability to quick rez people.

The first one is possibly due to lag.
Signet of mercy/undeath? Also glyph of renewal on fire attunement can insta rally.
And Elixir R is another amazing stuff.

1 – Is an issue with positioning caused by lag (your targets connection usually not yours)

2 -There are a few ways that could make this possible, here’s a few

The target hit something before going down (or while being downed) and his target died just when he went down = rally (think about poison/bleed/burn killing off a doe/moa/drake/other player)

Quickness on the one rezzing the downed player speeds stuff up a lot, and if more than one is rezzing him inside a mesmer quickness field it’s pretty much instant.

Certain class skills can rally players.

I Rally, when people drop due to my conditions , I rallied about 8-9 times in a row on occasion.

But i have also seen any class get up from downed state , with nothing around to kill.
instantly.
It has got to be a bug, exploit,hack watever, because I don’t think Anet made a downed state insta-ressurection button.

Never tried those pink res-orbs in WvW yet, so maybe that’s a possibility?

As people said for #2 there are a multitude of reasons that you might not be privy to. Such as rallying off a kill while being ressed, signet ressed, banner ressed, or something akin to those options.

As for point 1 I’ve had dolyaks do this to me when I am lagging. I’m pretty sure this is purely lag related.

Point 2 I’ve seen multiple times but only performed by one person, I’ve used the report function and it is apparently being looked into. I only reported it because there were no Ele’s around at the time, they can Rez from range in about a second using a slot skill.

Mesmers also have “illusion of life” for a quick pick up. It’s actually an area effect and allows 15 seconds of life.

Saying the trollyak, I’m pretty sure it is a bug rather than lag; or it is a new specie called Chronoyak. It happens when a camp being taken while a lonely wandering yak is on the road and logically the new yak which is taken by a team being spawned.

1. yeah, there’s quite a few instarezz abilities.

My buddies and I once downed 3 people in a big open field inWvW. Finished them off and their bodies were laying there dead waiting to spawn again. We stood on them planning our next route. The 3 of them were all bunched together and it was an open field where no one can sneak up on us. All of a sudden, the 3 of them get up from the DEAD state and start attacking us. They were completely dead for a good 2-3 minutes…..

Someone please explain.

^^^ Now that sounds like a clear example of exploiting. ^^^

I play a +power +precision +condition dmg support Mesmer with earth sigils and the Mad King set (think ultra long bleeds and confusion) so I rally constantly in big fights. I am sure people trying to kill me think HAX! but really its just me passively killing people all over the place.

That’s gotta be kittening annoying now that I think about it :P

Search and Rescue is not instarez, it will rez like any normal player rezing.

also after like the 4th or 5th time i have been downed in a short period, i instadie so i donno where you get the 8-9 rallies from

Some fights just last that long.
