Guild Wars 2

It is far too unreliable cancelling a res. I just had a case where I attempted to move, attempted to dodge, attempted to switch weapons, attempted to attack, attempted to use conflicting abilities (which worked, but I remained there ressing once they went off) and the only result is that I took the full damage of the AOE ring and was downed. Absolutely nothing worked. Not for me and not for the 3 people with me.

I don’t know the repro steps because cancelling ressing can be real easy at times (simply moving works).

Practically there is NEVER a circumstance where ignoring player input for the sake of a res is actually a good idea – it will nearly always lead to 2 dead players. If the player cancels the res out of error they can simply press F to continue.

I hate getting stuck resurrecting, as well. Especially, when I didn’t mean to start in the first place. It doesn’t happen every time, but when it does, it is irritating, and often leads to the downed state or death.

This odd ‘bug’ only started happening around 3? months ago. A fix would be lovely. Thanks, Devs, for all your hard work. =)

I too have had this major issue… Nothing is more annoying then a situation where you are rezing someone, and time the dodge “just right” to avoid getting hit by a monster just for you to stand there and continue rezzing…
Prime example is Champ Ettin in Harpy Fractal…. He has a HUGE tell before his attack… and it would be very easy to dodge to avoid, provided the game allowed such an action…

It also seems very odd the “selective interaction” that the game uses….

Priority seems the following… even if you have a target selected that you want to interact with, the game does not care….

Banner Pickup
Resurrection
Interaction with world item.

Prime example is Cliff Side Fractal…
Warrior puts banners where we stand, hammer runner goes down where we are… you can target the hammer (if your are lucky) but you, and everyone else who follows target will not pickup the hammer until all the banners are moved, and the guy is resurrected….

I think the 2nd part of this more targeting related, and I will post it with the targeting forums as well, I just thought I would mention it since the topic is resurrection issues…

This is still very annoying. happened only recently that i can remember. I was rezzing this downed kitten whilst fighting Malrona..bad idea and i couldnt even cancel the rez when i needed to dodge or move out of the way wtf!! resulted in me being downed and then killed. this is what my altruism gets me
