Guild Wars 2

We’ve all been there. One of your partymembers went down again, and ofcourse you are the one reviving him. Was it not a red circle apeared a few seconds after you started the ress right on top of you. Ofcourse, you panick, and try to cancel the process asap, but somehow moving, dodgint or hitting the esc button doesn’t seem to work. Your character just continues to revive the player, resulting in you yourself getting into the down state, and in some scenario’s causing your group to wipe. Often it doesn’t matter. But sometimes (take mai trin for e.g. in a fairly high fractal) it can be soooo frustrating.

I’m pretty sure this has been mentioned before but I’m mentioning it again. Is there a way that we can instantly stop reviving someone? I mean, this issue has bothered me before, but especially with raiding coming up, I feel like this really needs a fix. It is, and okay I’m running a guardian with fairly tanky stats, the number one reason that I die in dungeons nowadays, and I feel like that is bullkitten. Reviving another person in combat is dangerous, but one should not die because of a skill that you cast yourself and which you cannot interrupt.

So I ask you again, dear Anet, because I love your game. Could you please fix this issue, so that it will not ruin my raiding experience?

Much love,

I for one do not like this, I made Sunrise last year, but I would only have been able to do that were it not that a guildie of me wanted to buy the pre I got from the mf, for the same amount of gold without the stupid transaction gold. I calculated that without that trade (was about 800 gold) I would’ve needed to farm 2 weeks longer, just to make up for the trading post fee… Please anet, don’t cap it at 500, it’s not fair. Cap it at 1000 or sth…

Number 87 for me, Please! For the glade!

It’s not because you have no problems that other people don’t. My guild leader for example has a lot of client crashes from time to time which also causes him to get kicked from overflow/server which results in the fact that he cant rejoin because it’s filled up by the time he gets in again (which is usually max 30 sec). So in a matter of fact it has something to do with the game and not only with the internet. Also alot of games out there have some sort of system that tries to reconnect after you dced for around 30 seconds (thinking of css/tf2 and other source games). It’s a smart system because it alows your internet to catch up. I’m here speaking for the people with problems because of the fact that they have for e.g. (such as me) less than 1 MB dl speed. This results in the fact of me dcing whenever someone is trying to load or stream something ‘big’ on our internet. They can fix this though it has nothing to do with their own servers but with the code that is written for disconnecting people.

Dear Arenanet,

I have been playing your game for half a year now and I have to say first of all that I like many aspects of it, but I feel like there’s an easily fixed issue that would help out a lot of people.
My internet is okay, but from time to time I get a dc. Even though this dc is like 2 secs or something I always get kicked from the server and go to the character select screen.
Here’s the thing. When I reenter the world while doing a big event like the Twisted Marionnette thingy at the moment I get pushed to another overflow than the one of which I dced. I feel like this is really unfair and that you could fix it quite easily.
Ofcourse this problem also persists in getting kicked from main to overflow.

Here is how I think you could fix this and how you could make the lives of a lot of your fans less frustrating (sorry for the dramatic note). What if you made a system that let people rejoin their overflow/server they were on before with a timer that stays on a minute or so. By doing this people have some sort of ‘reserved’ spot that will make them able to reenter their event if they have a little issue (like a dc etc.). Because let’s be honest, people are being punished for having a dc right now. On the other hand a short timer won’t make you totally ruin the event.

I’m not sure wether anyone will even read this but I hope people do and that Anet will also give a glance at my humble concern.

Full of confidence that this will be fixed someday,
Yasutora
