Guild Wars 2 Healing & Death - briefly
(hx) 12:02 AM CEST - Jul,10 2010 - Post a comment / read (2)
A long forum post on the official Guild Wars 2 Blog from Game Designer Jon Peters talks about how this upcoming MMORPG will handle Death: Defeat in Guild Wars 2 is intended to be an experience, not a punishment. Let's face it: dying never feels great, even without a death penalty. As weird as it might sound, we decided to look into what would make dying a more enjoyable and memorable play experience.

Rather than being presented with immediate failure, when a player loses all of their health in Guild Wars 2, they are put into "downed mode." In this mode, the player has a number of downed skills they can use to target enemies and fight for a chance to survive. A downed player can still be attacked, which will send them into a defeated state, leaving them to either wait for an ally to resurrect them or to resurrect at a waypoint.

well I don't see the difference. Downed player is not a dead player, defeated player is. It was like that in original GW, they just added the unnecessary downed mode witch will pretty much mean that you are already dead, it will just add to the frustration.

point is: if you do things the right way, pick the right fights etc you wont ever be downed, if you pick the wrong fights or play like headless chicken, downed means you are dead anyway...
