Guild Wars 2

Hey guys!

(if other threads have been made about this, I apologize)

Yesterday, I did what was my first dungeon since the release of the game. I decided to tag along with a beginner CoF P1 group. Everything was fine, until I (and other players experienced the same issue) died and had to revive via WP. No problem, right? Well, until you attempt to revive and realize that the game still thinks you are in combat despite being dead. The “in-combat” remained for as little as one minute, and as long as about two and a half minutes. This was extremely frustrating. We were not speed-running the dungeon, however having 2-3 players on the ground dead and unable to WP because of this really halts progress.

I do not know if this is applicable to all dungeons, or if this is specific to Citadel of Flame.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a bug?

While you were dead were the other players and/or their minions still alive or in a downed state and still engaged with any enemies?

As Taegos hints at, a few months back it was changed in dungeons so that you can only revive when your whole party is out of combat.

Thanks for replying guys! I’m really not familiar with dungeons, so I don’t know how exactly it works…

But that’s very possible… Though I don’t really understand the premise behind it.

Thanks for letting me know.

There was a tactic called rez-rushing. Basically as soon as you died you were expected to wp back ans immediatly run back to the fight. Thus trivializing many fights and causing some people to wig out if people didn’t wp immediately.

I was very skeptic of the change at first but over many months since I find it a good thing. Anet even made sure that for some conent where dying and running was the tactic like in CoF p2 it was changed to be survivable.
