There are advantages and disadvantages when considering the downed state with certain profs. 1 the elementalist is at the biggest disadvantage in a downed state. 2 The mesmer has the biggest advantage in the downed state. Other classes fall in between these two profs. Either way I’d say the downed state was a good idea, fun at first, but after spvping for a while it’s just a problem, I see an elementalist down I sprint for him, I see a mesmer downed (or down him) I simply ignore trying to F him (unless 1 v 1).
but my blue waffle isn’t a kitten\
Or is it?
Just wondering what a kitten is? #confused

Too much to redesign here if they decided to change the downed state + outside influences. I think they should focus on balancing the guardian + mesmer problem, and the fact that there is no reason to pvp.
As an engi fighting a theif is a kind of random. Sometimes I win easily and sometimes I drop instantly. I rock high health/toughness, and when going against thieves I tend to welcome the challenge as it usually results in a good fight.
However, I will agree with the fact that sometimes a thief will just destroy me before I can even see what happens. Every time I see pistol whip at the top in the after death damage window.
I don’t have any suggestions deadshade. As an engineer when I see an elementalist I start to drool because of the easy points I see in front of me. They are clearly in dire need of some adjustment :/.
I love when i get barated and harassed in game when I mention that mesmers/guardians are the best tournament professions. I can’t stand getting attacked when mentioning facts.
I play an engineer 90% of the time in pvp. The main reason I prefer supply drop is its effectiveness in a tough 1v1 or 1v2 fight, as well as its ability to turn the tide in a group fight. The healing packs are great too!! A dual pistol turret engi with supply crate up is very very difficult to take down in a 1v1 fight.
Where is it?
What is the event?
What level is it?
What are the expected rewards.
In reference to chest drop events*
Their not overpowered, all other classes are underpowered? good argument there bra
./rerolls to mesmer and levels to 2. GG
It’s official, the meaningless rewards that you can get from GW2 pvp are bugged. Congrats!!! We have all officially participated in pointless downing, and finishing, and using ventrillo for no friggen reason. Welcome to failing mmogs

How about a warrior that pops up and is alive again for no apparent reason? ?
Yea! How does that work?!?! /hysteria
Look it up. How can you type these things man, I just don’t know.
Ok, so they have an ability that does this? (that is clearly my friggen point bra.) Every class is better than the engineer at being downed ( or downing other players .) MAYBE except the elementalist. So why are elementals and engis complaining? Clearly not because of you.
In 6 or 7 months when Anet decides to change this in a way that either favors engis/eles or eliminates it outright I hope you remember this post Milo…
Milo, I also main an engineer and I won’t kitten my character with elixir s just so I can finish a player.
Downed skill 2, Yes I use it every time, (it delays for about 1 second) and then we are dead unless its a 3v3 + fight, then we might get lucky.
Looking at the the thief and mesmer downed skills, they are much ‘better’ at being downed. How about a warrior that pops up and is alive again for no apparent reason? ? There is clearly an advantage certain classes are gaining from their downed abilities and the engineer is NOT one of them. Hop on the engi forums and there are several posts about the problem with engis and the downed state.
Take them out ? XD Some people actually enjoy doing them just for the PvP itself.
I certainly enjoy pvp just for fighting other players. However, with pretty much a 0 reward system there is no incentive to pvp for long periods of time. There is no grind (which yes, is mostly a good thing.) But there is literally no reward? If pvp stays the way it is there isn’t going to be more than 10 people sitting in the heart of the mists on your server.
Rewards add to the enjoyment of the game. When we get nothing for winning (or losing) other than a tiny amount of glory which simply only gives you items to salvage. There is no enjoyment in pvp other that slaying another player, or winning a game.
Basically what I’m trying to say is there is nothing to drive people to pvp. Under the current model there is no sustainability when looking at player incentives.
Agree with original poster. The engineer downed state is atrocious compared to other classes. On top of that we have no ability to help with downing another player (unlike classes with stability or stealth)
First and Foremost, this is AFTER winning/losing the third round (even though we supposedly get rewards for winning 1 game.) I still get no tournament reward ( no chest ).
What is the incentive to continue to play sPvP? Tourny rewards don’t work, it takes about 50 (8v8) games to go up one rank to get 3 crappy salvage items. My stats will never change and to find a better looking item it takes 100s of hours….wtf!?
If you’re complaining that stomps are hard to get off because of cc, then stability is what you need. If you’re complaining about something else, it’s not clear what you’re talking about.
I’m complaining about the fact that EVERY OTHER CLASS has a distinct advantage over the engineer when considering the DOWNED state. KKKKTHX?
Edit: Engineers are the easiest to finish when downed, (and have nothing to help with downing another player.)

I was/am wondering myself. I made a post a little bit ago (still on main page) about this topic. Still no response.. I guess I’ll just have to accept the fact it’s going to take many many many hours of 8v8 pvp to change my hero’s gear at all, (after 100+ hours of pvp I still have the same stats with the same look) where is the incentive to continue to pvp??? The only incentive I see is that there is no reason to pve after hitting 80…
Downed state is BS. As an engineer every other class in the game is ‘BETTER’ and being ‘DOWNED’ than an engineer. Killing some classes as an engineer and trying to finish them is often a death wish (EVEN 1v1!)
Send in 4 mesmers and a theif, you win!
The water map is a joke. Key to victory – cap the ruins and have an engi stay to defend. ( the rest of the team dukes it out over the other 2 nodes.)
BTW, the losing team gets more glory?
So why can’t i use the other teams trebuchet???? I agree with OP here, as the last few tournaments I’ve played on this map the team that steals kills simply wins in the end.
Also, mesmers and guardians are OP..kthx
I’ve played in about 25 free tournaments. From what I’ve experienced and read, A copper chest is received for winning one game, A silver chest is rewarded for winning two games, a gold chest is received for winning all 3 games (3 round tournament.)
However, I rarely seem to receive ANY reward unless the team wins all 3 games. What is the deal here? I’ve asked in game and many people say that rewards are only given after the tournament completes, and they also confirm there is only 3 rounds. YET AFTER 3 rounds of a sPvP tournament, (2 or 3 wins) I still do not get any kind of reward?
My question is WHY?
