MattDu.7123 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 A temporary medical party. I can see on the map that your a downed player and I've diverted halfway across the map to pick you up slaying enemies left and right and just as I get there your gone, respawning at the nearest waypoint. Most times it doesn't matter but I do remember my first time in the hidden garden before i had a glider and it would of been nice to known someone was coming. I could tell you I'm coming but you can't see that my character has stopped because I've had to go answer the door and wont be back for half hour or that i just died on the way. So I would like to right click on their name and send a temporary medical party invite. It lasts while the person is down and if they get back up, respawn, I die or they dont want a medic it cancels. I think it would have to show your dot and name to stop people abusing it by pressing to come with no intention of turning up. And the invite comes as a red cross sign so they know its only temporary to pick you up, it bypasses any language barrier and tells them that your racing to help so that's why your not holding a conversation.

joneirikb.7506 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 My personal favorite was someone laying dead on the ground, and just waiting until I walked over to heal them, to use a rez-orb. Can't post players names on the forum, but the characters name included the word "Troll" :p Ha to laugh at that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well one reason can be that you cant see character name or account name on the mini map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may have been him already using a rez-orb before you began - it takes several seconds to run. But there are also the ones that wait until you've already rezzed them to 75% and THEN WP out. *That* is annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the animation of the spinning red orb when they use one. It started about 2-3 seconds after I started rezzing. :) I've just gotten used to the teleporting, don't even think about it anylonger. But I have to admit that after a couple of those, I tend to wonder why I even bother to rez other players, and it gets tempting to just ignore it :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started about 2-3 seconds after I started rezzing. :) Ah, OK. I thought maybe not because there have been times when I've used an orb and THEN someone comes up and starts rezzing me. Of course that may be just that they don't know what the animation means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjfinlay.5614 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 There's been times during world bosses when I'm in defeated state, using a rez orb and someone comes over to heal me. I'm lying there spamming /say "get back in the fight, leave me, I got this!" Shouldn't be rezzing defeated during world bosses anyways. Takes too long.

Every time I've done one of the Triple wurm heads with OpenCommunity, every guide has said the same thing, and yeah, it's right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In their defense, they may have their map open to pick a waypoint and not notice they are being rezzed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czerwoni.9563 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 when im doing map clearing to get 100 i go into all chat and with the mentors tag up i say "doing map will be here a while map or pm message for res/event/hp help" you will be surprised how many people respond and ask for help.

RebelliousChyld.6427 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I love this idea. During events - I try my level best to try and heal someone before they are completely downed - and then if they do go down completely, I pm them to WP back, just in case they might be new and don't know. But I too have been in the same boat "I'm coming to help person who's name I don't know!" on the map, and yea... They're either gone, or wping just as I get there. I think this would be a wonderful QoL addition that wouldn't take too much work to implement I don't think. > @"czerwoni.9563" said: > when im doing map clearing to get 100 i go into all chat and with the mentors tag up i say "doing map will be here a while map or pm message for res/event/hp help" > > you will be surprised how many people respond and ask for help.

It does come up that you are being picked up when the map it open. But I have double clicked the waypoint and then noticed in that split second that I am being rezzed.

costepj.5120 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 The only map I've ever sat around waiting for a res was TD. Basically because I was never that sure I could get back to where I died (a bit like the Char loggers in Hellion Forest!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
