Guild Wars 2

A mesmer dying, next to the door of a keep that’s being overrun, so he can be rezzed and portal everyone in 5 minutes later sounds like cheating to me.

When we kill a mes or thief inside a base, we camp his body till he releases or inactive logs. Leaving a mes inside a base unattended is asking for trouble. If you are inside a tower and someone outside starts rezzing a mes… wait till hes rezzed and kill him again.

So in my opinion, it’s not an exploit. Use your head and don’t leave a body behind for situations like this.

I personally feel it’s quite underhanded, cause if the Mesmer run to the door to die close to it, we gotta wait 10 min and camp him, before he get’s kicked out for being AFK
. It’s simply the only counter there is to prevent it. I won’t call i an exploit, but it’s a underhanded trick and I hope they change it!

if it’s a mesmer, just have a guy sit on the oil, another /sit on his face and a few in reserve till he’s gone. The best option, however, is to simply pull/push them away from the doors before finishing them.
However, I’d still be for being able to cut off the heads of defeated players to prevent revive… Or move the corpse…

hm, first you down him, then you kill him (yay, nice animation, jumping in the air and staking and all that), then you should be able to force respawn him (i can only shiver in joy at graphics of brutally ripping the corpse in pieces, yes, yes)

;)

We should be able to build a bridge out of him.

I remember prior to the ‘thief preventing you from capping’ fix this one thief that kept rezzing the guild dude while fully stealthed. That’s something you’d really have to watch for… the mesmer being rezzed and you never see it happening.

“Rezzing through doors”: Is this an exploit?

lolwut?

I think it’s a valid question.
And in case you didn’t understand it: read the OP, it explains it clear enough.

So to reply to your contribution: lolwut indeed?

Ive seen mesmers dying next to the door with the intention of being rezzed through it and teleport everyone inside.

Example: Being inside a tower with enemy zerg beating down the gate, gate is 50% hp and the mesmer goes to the gate and dies from the zerg and says, do not ress me now, Im waiting dead here incase they take the tower, so we can take it back.

Hell yeah its an exploit, you know its not meant to be like that.

It’s an exploit. But finding exploits that exist in the game is pretty clever too.

It’s up to ANet to fix things like this, because there will always be players who take advantage.

Nope, its not exploit (in currently condition where knockback from cata knocks some people behind the gate, attack from all classes hit people behind the gate).

Range to res people (if I am not wrong) is same as the range of melee class. It means if it exactly behind the door (or maybe a bit (tiny) far away from the door), you can still res them.

If there is an enemy corpse inside your tower, you should think that corpse as a spy machine >>> not just ordinary corpse (wait in front of him (sit, kneel, dance, jump, up to you)).

Towers and keeps should have a torch vendor from whom torches can be bought to burn the dead inside. Let that be it’s sole #1 ability.

We will give you a respectable funeral pyre, so depart from this place at once, shade, and trouble our keep no more…

It’s both, it’s not intended to be in the game which makes it an exploit but for all the blatant hacking and glitching that goes on in WvW I am not taking someone to the gallows for rezzing through a door.

Just make it where anyone who is dead inside a keep or tower the moment it is captured is automatically portalled outside of the walls. Wouldn’t affect hiding mesmers or thieves, so that strategy, as annoying as it is, would still be viable, and would still remove the need to babysit someone who refuses to respawn.

I never would have thought of this. Seems a little too underhanded for me to ever actually do though.

Makes sense to me. I’ve suggested burning corpses as a new feature to deal with the corpse-as-spy issue.

And you just can’t beat the aroma!

thanks for pointing this out… i shall try it tonight

I knew that were going to get people like the above posting this here; hopefully it will give the devs more of a reason to fix the stupidity of shooting, knockbacking, aoeing, and rezzing through doors.

way ahead of you Uber see you tonight muwahah.
(discussing the incident of rezzing through a door, so it’s on topic and constructive)

While I’ll admit it is very clever, it is also very preventable. Corpses can be just as kitten as a live mesmer or thief in your tower. Anything that can relay information, even if it is a corpse, is dangerous to your operations. This is a war we are playing in, military intelligence is actually a factor. Even if they don’t get rezzed, they can still see your golem army running through the gate or your whole force moving South. You should babysit them even if they can’t be rezzed through a door. Don’t forget that thieves can permastealth inside a keep or tower and rez the mesmer without abusing the range through a door. There is no good reason to not camp the body. It’s a tactic that is built into the game. I wouldn’t use it, but you have to defend against it, just like a cata round splashing through doors/walls.

love the fact that one sentence from me made him delete his orignal post lol… and for the record i already knew about this

don’t flatter yourself, I deleted because of private messages.

sure thing there buddy

Uberlicious.3956:

of all the posts here, what makes you think it’s because of you?
I had private messages, I deleted.

Your ego isn’t my issue, but in the end I can’t argue against you claiming it’s because of you.
I can tell you it’s not. Nothing more to it.
Believe what you want, I see no reason what makes your post so special I should delete a thread for.

You didn’t even discuss it being cheating or not, ofr give your opinion.
You just said you would try it. So what?
Many will do this tonight… which sort of was the reason I made the post.
To discuss that.
What you do or don’t do isn’t my problem you know…

Deleted posts are better than deleted pots amiright? You can always use pots, but you cannot always make use of posts.

Mesmer ports are no new thing, dying next to a door after being spotted? Really? It shouldn’t be a shocker. being unable to control the baiting breathe of your pvd zerg who just want to take and pillage all without any care about a mesmer dead there to be ressed? guess what that leads to … your zerg getting fed more xp, karma, money. Issue? Yeah … I forgot we all should remain stationary and request access to stake claim to land over tea. Come on guys, the doors thing is nothing new. Hell you may as well add in AoE from base ground to SM 3rd floor. I never knew many who had about 2500+ range. I do think the door mechanics are a little strange at times. But I’m also the advocate that people shouldn’t be able to pvd doors, and would love to see ladders added instead. And dear lord give defense something? Any thing, safe stands you can fire from that aren’t obstructed , all the time when you can see first person the invader is clear as day in front of you.

I don’t think it’s cheating, it’s underhanded … yes. But so are spies on other servers. Oh wait, no one does that with free transfers ;-P

There is alot of dirty pool being played
