Respawn w/ Full health & endurance in PvP zones is stupid

New PvP zone rule: You now respawn with full health and endurance when spawn in a hospital in Siren's, Bloody Bay, Warburg, and Recluses Victory.

A hospital is typically used to describe a place where injured or ill people are treated. For instance in this game this is place that you goto when you are defeated. Typically when someone is in hospital their health and recovery is not immediately restored. They need time to rest before the can resume their normal activity. So why is health and endurance fully restored in the game? Is it that hard to click your REST toggle?

If I am the opposing player, and I have defeat you in the zone near your hospital because during the battle I left with 10 Hitpoints remaining. You go straight to the hospital come out within seconds of time and defeat me with your full bar of health and endurance. During that time left the hospital to come back and fight me my HP may only go up by 100 - 300 points, but your health is fully recovered. How is that fair? The person who is defeat should start out with low health, low endurance and not be rewarded with full health.

This new system now rewards wreckless play because if you are defeated you can go straight back into action with no penalty, no time to rest and continuosly you act/play this way because you will be back into action within seconds. There is no penalty when defeated except the fact that you have to travel back to the hospital.

Now you give people the opportunity to EXPLOIT the game with VENGEANCE. Someone can sacrifice themselves for their team in order to use vengeance and be ready to battle within seconds because of new full health and full endurance rule.

I prefer the old system, of starting in the hospital with low health and low endurance. It more realistic and it does not reward wreckless play.

This game is far beyond repair, don't bother making posts about the horrible bugs and gameplay aspects.

obvious troll is obvious, as they say

This change is fantastic -- especially for squishies with no self heal.

freespec !! everyone get veng!

Stupid post. When I PVP'd on my EM/Nin Stalker I just used the heal, my end bar and hp were close to full when I approached an enemy anyway and the heal was usually recharged. Same as my ice/psi dom, I just supersped to some npcs, used drain psyche, and I was at full health/end in no time.

This way (full health and end) is better, other toons have to rest and we know how everyone *loves* resting both in PvE and PvP.

ty devs for fix

i die a lot and dis will halp minimize downstime

Lol rp

This is a great help for MMs who, after Resting to refill, then re-drained their END having to re-summon... and they couldn't Rest again since it was recharging!

Now, if we can only get one-click full-respawning for PvP...

I think this is a very needed change in the correct direction. Probably my most favorite fix since they fixed all those kin issues with travel suppression.

Honestly though instead of having to pick up vengeance to use on fallen comrads, like some in this thread have suggested. The one who is defeated should get a 2 minute buff on damage, accuracy, and regen ( because heals get DRd). You could call this a "Revenge" buff that helps people who get farmed in zones an equal footing with someone who is obviously better than them. This would encourage people to leave bases after a "rofl stomp" because they are buffed and hopefully this buff combined with thier lack of skill can overcome someone for once.

This is a hopeful move in the right direction devs, please continue with these ideas.

I don't mind the change but I can see where this does mess with changing the tide of battle in zone engagements. Right now, you defeat their most dangerous guys and it's a good minute or two before they're back in the fight due to the Rest downtime. That tactical element is now lost and their best guys, once defeated, will be back in seconds.

But overall I think it is a good change because Resting, and forced downtime in general, just isn't fun. It also adds a 'berserker'/'chaotic' type element to PvP where people are just constantly churning back and forth in the battle.

Yes, I do think this change ups the fun, even if it is at the expense of some tactical edge that does have some value.

I don't think this'll generate more PvPIOs though due to the Rep timer. In fact, it exacerbates that issue a bit (the more you kill someone the fewer drop opportunities you generate).

WARNING: I bold names.

Besides the fact that this was a troll thread, there's 2 reasons why this is a great change in the right direction:

1. That's how PvP was originally designed. As others have stated, it was a terrible idea to change it in the first place.
2. Name another game that doesn't respawn you with full bars. In fact, in a lot of other games, you get portable respawn stations to move you right back into battle at full power. (We're still slightly behind the curve there. You'd need a player to take Teleport Friend, and most PvP builds have no room for it.)

I think this is a great change - it might help push zone battles more into neutral territory rather than camping the hospitals.

In RV i was wondering why the vills i killed came back to die again so fast... this gave me more kills i was happy. If i was the one getting farmed then maybe i would get back into action to die faster as well. This indirectly gave me more chances to get IOs... This indirectly gives everyone in zone pvp more chances to get IOs. This indirectly is a good thing.
