Everyone would love to have the same mistform as the elementalist when they are downed but your suggestions don't seem very exciting. Because one of the issues with downed in PvP is how imbalanced it is. Some classes downed skills are just clearly BETTER than the others. For PvP/WvW, it should be balanced out as an even playing field. It's not about making everyone ridiculous and able to escape as downed thru a tower portal, it's about bringing everyone down to the same level.

Really needed an option for "Any time the map has full Zergs and they get close." When running with [HELL], our commander can usually use Lag spikes to predict Zerg Movement. > @"Fueki.4753" said: > I usually only experiences light lag when I see three or more of these ~~ultra shiny players~~ walking light bulbs. Standard Enemy models my friend. I wish that was an option in PvE since I hate so much of the gemstore and infusion junk. Fashion Wars my rear end. More like Eyesore Wars.

PvP/WvW should have the same skills for everyone, a generic set of downed skills. PvE can keep the flavorful ones they have. **Downed Skills for WvW/PvP:** 1. Generic throw rock. 2. Throw rock harder with stun/interrupt. 3. Crawl Away. (While channeling, you can move slowly to try and get out of AOE or behind friendly lines, and you bleed out slower) 4. Bandage. That one is already universal. Done. Still have the downed state the game was balanced around, but some don't have clear advantages. > @"ASP.8093" said: > > @"Dawdler.8521" said: > > **There should be 1:1 healing restriction** *<- delete power res* > > **Rally should be removed** *<- delete rally botting, more teamwork to res* > > **Downed penalty should be upped to 33% (ie 3 states with 66% HP start, instead of 4 with 75% HP start)** *<- harder penalties, more time to stomp* > > **Downed penalty timer should be 3x longer per state** *<- harder penalties* > > This is by far the best proposal I've ever seen on the topic. Not really. That just means that people downed will stay back in spawn until the penalty fades.

Devon Carter returns to ANet. #Alliances Maybe!? Or at least something done to get rid of links and fix the balance problem that is bandwagon transfers.

It really took them 2 days to notice that?

#Alliances.... ever!?

#Alliances ever!? Also, wow. Just... wow.

> @"SniffyCube.6107" said: > shame we'll never find out if they work or not Cause you can't spell Al-lie-ances with LIE! (Yeah, doesn't really work, but... whatever.) #Alliances when!? We know it's not coming. We just want them to come out and admit it.

> @"Super Hayes.6890" said: > Don't give up! #Alliances. When!?

#Alliances when!?

> @"Gudradain.3892" said: > Totally agree with that but the easy fix would be to make server transfer free. > > I want them free, but I doubt ANET will want to make them free. Maybe, if enough ask for it. The fact that server transfers ARE NOT FREE is why we have not gotten #alliances when because they have not figured out how to monetize it more than they already get from world transfers. They are not going to kill that Gem Goose.

# Balance and Alliances when!?

> @"displayname.8315" said: > Lotta threads about the fabled alliance system... Did anet respond in the forums recently or is this just another round of hope and change? #ALL IS VAIN! We live on the tears and salt of the 2 year anniversary of the Great Lie! #Alliances when!?

#Alliances when!? This idea too!

Indeed my friends. The Lie continues. The leading us on with false hope. The cashing in on Gem Sales from Bandwagoners as the mode still bleeds players from this farce. We simply ask: # "Alliances WHEN!?" When we already know the answer. Alliances never. Because world links generate more Gem sales. # End the Alliances Lie. Tell us the truth!

> @"Tonko.4802" said: > you got like 20 people to write the tumblr fanfic of a story and you're trying to convince us that "the 5 people who would usually work on wvw are too busy with the expansion" Indeed. #Alliances WHEN!?

#Alliances when!? Oh, likely not. But at this point part of the meme is about how ANet ignores the game mode, lies to us, and leads us on. At this point most of us would be happy with them just coming out and saying, "Hey, we know we talked about this 2 years ago, but the project has been dropped." Because at least then it would be honest communication. At this point I don't really want it, because they will figure out a way to monetize it like they did build templates. I am pretty sure part of the reason it was dropped was because they didn't think it would get as much gem sales as the bandwagoners get them now.

#Balance and Alliances when!?

# Alliances WHEN!? Barring that, #Stop the lies and admit it's never coming!

#ALLIANCES WHEN!?

Oh, cause still wondering #Alliances when!?

> @"Baldrick.8967" said: > Remind us of what? Oh yeah, it's 2021. Only been 3 years, surely it will happen 'soon'! #Alliances WHEN!? **Alliances.** **When!?**

> @"K THEN.5162" said: > **HAPPY 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY SINCE THE ALLIANCES ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!** Therefore we ask, #Alliances WHEN!? **SO SAY WE ALL!**
