Guild Wars 2

It’s pretty dumb that I can suicide into a keep and become a permanent spy. Being able to see your enemy dead is a low cost, low skill tactic and adds nothing to the game because it can not be countered. Surprised more people are not bothered by this

Put a flame ram blueprint on their body

Drop the ram or just the blue print? Didn’t know that worked, never seen it used ever

But then we won’t b able to /dance on foes we kill. They would never see our taunts.

Screen should turn black when you die.

There was a dev post a while ago that brought up this issue, and that they are working on possible solutions. One of the proposed solutions was a timer, that would autokick the dead person back to the spawn after a certain period of time. I personally wouldn’t be surprised to see it appear during the WvW patch on Tuesday.

You place the flame ram as if it was going to be built, just don’t bother building it. Can’t see anything with it on top of you.

… If you happen to build it… well maybe the stars will align and someone will use #2 to wipe a zerg.

best solution is for dead people to just see the world map, they can either stare at the map hoping to see ’A noble soul is healing you" or choose a WP and get back to the fight.

Worse is when they kill a mesmer inside a keep or tower and have thieves around to res them later and if the thief dies you still have spy.

A timer would fix both problems.

There is still some value to being able to see the battle going on around you so you can decide if it would be better to wait for a rez or to take a waypoint and run back (if feasible). The best solution to both the scouting and mezmer rezzing issues would be to have dead players automatically take the map entry waypoint after a certain about of time has gone by, say 5 minutes. I can’t imagine that it would be too hard to code that in.
