Death Mechanic Addition

[Alaris]

A tiny asura necromancer riding the animated dead corpse of a norn. Or a ranger asura having his pet drag the corpse of a norn. Or the asura mesmer casting "illusion of living" on the norn corpse to transform it into a store clerk. Or a warrior asura hacking a norn corpse to pieces using dual axes... because... why not?

I love the carry idea. Not because it's feasible, or even a balanced option, but because it would enable me to carry dead people off to some cave somewhere and arrange them in amusing positions (provided i can string them along with enough promises to keep them from warping away).

If that's wrong, I don't want to be right.

pretty much this.

Hmm, yeah griefing potential is another good point, especially since rezzing people gets you xp. I can see people dragging others into a bad position before rezzing, hoping the person will die again so they can double/triple rez the person. I don't think it's possible to refuse a rez either, though I didn't die enough to really notice.

This is the definition of a medic in Battlefield. XP farmers. And sometimes they're useful, too.

This would usually also result in the death of said rezzer.

And if I see someone take me *towards* a dangerous spot, I'd just respawn instead.

dead bodies were put to good effect in skyrim. why shouldn't gw2 have some fun? dragging your buddies out of danger, or not.... sounds like a rear good laugh to me.

Griefers care whether or not they die? That's news to me. Btw, what if they do it while you're downed but not defeated? I don't think you even can respawn until then. Though they could change it I don't think it's worth doing. That's because, as I said before, it would also be overpowered compared to actual skills that rez players.

I read the bit about bromance with a corpse and stopped reading. Also a tiny Asura carrying a huge Norn?

I read this and went and read the entire thread.

I was disappointed.

I'd rather the devs work on more useful features. Like norns playing football using asuras instead of balls. They can still call those pigskins.
