No downed state

BOO! Did anyone ask for it?

Thanks Anet. We all needed a week long break from WvW.

Quite a few threads asked for it actually, including many inside other threads where appropriate to mention lack of events/change in WvW.

I love it!

Very popular request for no down state . Where have you been?

NO NO NO NO NO . i really hate this no downstate. its not fun on the same level. it not satisfing at the same level as when people go in down state. and honestly the rate/ seconds a fight can end in its just not fun. Bring back downstate .

It will back in a week.

It's so much more fun than regular WvW. Enjoying my 1v3 fights and actually winning them because cleaving deads was the only thing holding me back

would be cool without skilllag when 3 blobs clash, as a melee class (spellbreaker) you just stand there waiting to die, can't even 111111111 and get some tags

atleast, respawning is faster now!

Still a nice break away, it's only a week and it gives Rangers something to do.

i love iti'd like a " no rally " event

Can’t wait for that “No lag” week.

Not often do you see a thread full of people publicly admitting how bad they're at the game.

If you complain about no-downstate it means you die all the time, did you know that? So how about... not dying?

can't tell if troll or serious

ever had a 50 vs 50 vs 50?not a single skill activates, as a melee class you just run with the tag and "absorb" damage so others can 1111111111

that's skillag

Well, at very least it brings balance to WvW. Cant complain over it if theres no one to fight.

Finally. Someone with reasoning. We need to balance this gamemode the way nobody can lose. And everybody has fun.

Isn't that already the case? Winning doesn't give you anything. Losing doesn't do anything. You can do the same thing whether you win or lose meaning that it has no impact on you having fun or not.

Absolutely and it's a solid foundation. Now we need to translate that to all the encounters because there are still a lot of frustrating elements left. I mean why do I have to die? The other team could just get a point when my HP are depleted. Imagine a place where everybody can do dailies, get vistas etc. without frustration. Imagine all the people.

Yeah, I rather the 3 man group just destroys me like they usually would because they have about a million more health than me just so they don't cry and leave the game.

I'm havin a blast. Actually have a chance at saving camps and winning other random outnumbered fights by playing better than your opponent. they can't be carried by numbers to res, res bot builds saving them from bad play, or some stupid random npc dying rallying them.

Hahahaha! And yet someone will actually fall for this bait and get angry at you.

You sound like the type of person that spams blueprints on corpses.

No down state promotes bad play through one-shot ambush builds. It did the same thing last time they did it.Why keep bringing back a gimmick that is unpopular with the majority of WvW players and promotes bad play?

Because the majority of players likes it and it brings a breath of fresh air

As a solo roamer, I love it. Outnumbered fights are a lot easier to win without downstate.
