Guild Wars 2

Not complaining, but have you guys seen players with multiple necro toons in tpvp popping lich form>die>log on to next toon, lich form> etc.

Owned our team lol.

lol thats rly try hard. Pitty them i guess xD

O_o never considered something like this. Then again I don’t load back to the game fast enough so I would just hurt my team by trying to pull it off.

They must really like winning! Sadly, they lack the skills to do it because 99.9999% of pvpers don’t do this kind of thing. It’s really cheap and it won’t be taken seriously so I wouldn’t worry about them.

SSD’s are the new meta.

Now I know what to do with my 5 necros xD

You should complain about this in all fairness…. there is a reason cooldowns don’t reset when you log off and log back on. I would call it abuse. With a fast enough load time and computer you could log off, grab a new necro, and log back into the match in roughly the time it takes you to respawn. That is pretty messed up.

Eh, if they’re winning, when that necro logs off, swap teams and take his spot. Now he is stuck on the losing team.

If they were tryharding to win, it was probably solo/teamQ. I would also advise and kindly ask you to not post anything tied only to hotjoin, as nobody cares and it mostly makes your point look totaly unvalid.

It definetly is a abuse, Anet allowed back switching characters in tourneys for unfavorable matchups (ex. 5 thieves) , but not for reseting 180s elites. Lich and maybe timewarp are the only ones worth doing though, as theyre only ones who can instagib a teamfight.

Or I could post as I please and ignore obnoxious posts such as yours? Op didn’t mention what form of gameplay, and if it is arena there is literally nothing that can be done about it so I posted the only advice whatsoever that could counteract this being done to someone, despite it being a hotjoin-specific solution.

Seriously? You can change characters MIDWAY through a tournament match????

If that’s really possible I’m surtprised it took TWO YEARS for someone to exploit it! :p

Yeah I was completely unaware you could change characters mid game in tpvp either

I don’t understand why you aren’t locked in to the character you submit in to the roster. It’d do wonders for the meta.

It’s possible but it’s generally a terrible idea because after load times your team might go a minte or so a man down, which is usually enough time to lose.

idk. i dont have ssd, play on mac and if i esc and swap right when i go down, i just have to get through 2x loading screens vs 1x 15s respawn timer. i lose about 10s

So I’m making 5 mesmers now everyone’s getting moa’d.

+1! Seriously, once the match starts they shouldn’t let you change ANYTHING!

MM is cheap too , still alot of people use it.
Moa Morph is much cheaper, and yet again people use it alot.

I’m pretty sure you get dishonored if you switch too many times.

I think dishonoured only kicks in if you don’t return to the match within 2 minutes.
