Please Revise Rez Restrictions

Joy_Division

It is just bad design to have all rezzes auto-fail if one person does not accept a rez. An entire raid can be wiped or a keep defense fail if one person isn't paying attention or disconnects.

If there is some balance reason why I can't rez player A and B and C that I am unaware of, the solution is simple: if the first person you rez does not accept it by the time B is also rezed, then it is A who auto-fails...not B.

If this simple logic somehow fails to persuade, then there are more personal matters to consider. Tonight I was with EP who was chasing a scroll that was taken by AD - one of those tense and exciting moments that make PvP enjoyable. During the first battle, there were some casualties on the EP side and I started rezzing people because EP had no keeps near enough that these players could revive at and have a chance at the scroll. I rez person A, then go onto person B, then get on my horse to pursue the scroll.

Moments later I see in my chat log a whisper from person B: "U DICKHEAD."

I had no idea why he was mad at me. Was he mad that I spent the time to rez him and not gone after the scroll? Was he mad because I couldn't kill the 20 AD guarding the scroll? I then saw the following message: "Person A has declined your resurrection."

When I whispered B back and told him he shouldn't be calling me a "dickhead," he told me he did so because I had botched the rez and he couldn't get back into the fight because of it. When I told him he was wrong and the rez auto-failed because of person A, he didn't believe me, called me an idiot, and continued to berate me for my alleged incompetence.

So not only do you have a highly questionable mechanic when it comes to rezzes that unnecessarily wipes raid and ruins these moments simply because a single person grabs a beer after he dies, it creates unnecessary acrimony that I think we all can agree is bad for the game and should be removed/fixed ASAP.

Or, if you insist on keeping this idiotic mechanic, please inform the people in huge neon pink font the reason why their rez failed was because of person A so I don't get called a "DICKHEAD" in the future and have people thinking I am incompetent when all I doing is trying to help them.

I'd decline to rez person B from now on.

I didn't even know that happened with rezzes (or that some people actually believe in "botched" rezzes). Yet another really dumb issue Zeni needs to fix. And person B sucks, whoever (s)he is.

Even people I hate I still would rez. But I sure would think about B.

Huh.

This is off topic from the OP, but a mod just came into a thread the other day saying that pics still aren't allowed in signatures, yet here one is.

I haven't been here in a couple of days. Am I going to get banned?

I'd rather talk about rezzing. If anyone need Kagrenac's Hope in medium or heavy, LMK I can do it.

I Rez everyone. I've had a person decline my Rez by letting it time out strictly so idont get the whopping 20ap or whatever you get from it. So that persons just wasted my gem for a few minutes when it could be spent rezzing someone who isn't a catty person. Needs reworked for sure.

Yep agree. Stupid mechanic that makes no sense.

No, no, you misunderstand.

Someone was asking if pics were again able to be put into signatures, and the mod came in and said no, it still wasn't possible.

But I see one, so it's clearly possible. I didn't mean not allowed as in, you'll get in trouble for doing it. Just not actually allowed in the code.

That being said, I had a post modded that just mentioned an illegal substance jokingly, so you might want to amend the picture you chose for that reason.

That goes without saying!

Can we please not derail the thread about pics and signatures I really think the rez restrictions are idiotic and would like ZoS's attention on this mechanic.

I've been wearing that for the last month or so.
Stacks nicely with the templar rez passives and the support level 10 passives.
So useful now that camps are gone!

I wish we could name them so we could all decline to rez him.

It's small things like that which would make the game better that could be done in small quick patches but will never be. This company is crap and we will have to live with the pos way things work.

Just tea bag person B from now on.

Tea Pot's solution to everyone
To be fair, he tea bags teammates rather than rezzing us too >.>

I want the ability to charge gold for ppl to be able to accept my rezes.
