FrostSpectre.4198 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Since you can scream "Incoming!" while you retreat or move into attack.But you really cannot scream "Retreat!" when you move into attack and plan to never retreat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incoming would be betterAll up for interpretation.The way I explained it, it can also get used while attacking. ^^And since that is possible, I think a change is not really necessary.I understand that other players might prefer a different name, tho.

Why would you want your enemies to run away? You want to kill them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castillan.4259 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Something more like "On the double!" would seem neutral for either engaging or retreating, or perhaps "Move it soldier!", or "Double time!" as per the military phrase for a regulation running pace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostSpectre.4198 Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 @"ollbirtan.2915" said:SAAAAAVE YOURSELVES! dashes in 3v1 condi fightThats pretty much a suicide charge shout for the guardian, and pretty much what you would do with "Save Yourselves!", you charge in and allow your allies to save themselves from the trouble of skritt tons of conditions.Then again it is quite a suicide move to use "Save Yourselves!" if your gear doesn't allow extra vitality, as ~10k HP drains fast under heavy condition attacks...

GW Noob.6038 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 NO, Anet, don't listen to them! There is nothing more hilarious than hearing a human female scream "RETREAT" or "SAVE YOURSELVES" in the middle of a successful battle! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
