Guild Wars 2

Not once, but twice.

I died, twice in the same day, after killing one who was killing me.

Rally is supposed to work. Rally didn’t work.

Twice.

When will Anet figure out that the game is suffering from ‘drift’ and now is doing things it is not intended to do – a blatant example that is connected are the NPCs that disappear in the middle of a camp fight or disappear on the way there when escorting them to any camp on EBG. They respawn over and over and over – even if you kill them.

Drift is harming the game – and it needs attention because it’s impacting scores.

Yeah there is something funky going on with rally lately – for instance, 2 of my players were downed by 1 guy, I kill said one guy and only one of them rallied (they were both attacking him before being downed). Also has anyone noticed people rally off of nothing (not warrior downed skill/no thief&mes around of course/no npc&creatures)?

@Demonseed, In your case rally is working as intended, it was changed to 1 for 1 quite some time ago.

State of the Game Update —Q1 2016

Rallying and Reviving in World vs. World

The number of players than can rally off a single kill in WvW will be reduced from 5 to 1. This change was made to give smaller groups more of a fighting chance against larger groups and to make WvW combat have less sudden power swings in general.
Along with rallying, we’ll also be making changes to reviving in WvW. Players will no longer be able to revive defeated players while in combat. They will still be able to revive downed players. This change was made to lower the staying power of large groups. If a player is eliminated from the fight, they stay eliminated until either the fight concludes or the player uses a waypoint and runs back.

Ty for the info

also, the one closest to the double downed enemy gets the rally. Your best option is to kill a lot.

" Players will no longer be able to revive defeated players while in combat. They will still be able to revive downed players."

This part is also really borked…you can’t even revive defeated players because the game won’t let you get out of combat that easy, so you may as well just keep fighting and ignore the downed/defeated players until the fight is over. Maybe both issues, unable to rally and unable to exit combat to revive, are all related to server lag, which we’ve definitely had more of lately.
