Guild Wars 2

I was running in Kessex Hills and got caught in what may be a non-bug flaw. I ended up taking enough damage from the environmental toxin in the water around the Tower of Nightmares that I was downed while on the surface of the water. Because of the changes introduces quite a while ago I was unable to move, use downed skills etc. I was recovering health while simultaneously taking toxin damage. The result was that the two basically negated each other and I was stuck in a perpetual state of downed, unable to die, unable to completely heal, unable to map out. This was only resolved after an extended time a roving NPC came and put me out of my misery.

I don’t know if others have been caught in this situation, but it was frustrating. Personally I would prefer reverting the downed state in water to what it previously was so that I could have the option to move, but however the developers want to handle this, it really should be fixed.

I’ve seen this happen as well. At some point me and 2 other players needed to simultaneously revive a player, just to overcome the toxin damage. I don’t think you should continue to take toxin damage while downed, simple as that.

I had the exact same thing happen as OP
