This week we begin our weekly game column on Guild Wars 2. Each week we will look at different aspects of the game and try to analyze how Guild Wars 2 continues to present new ideas into the MMO genre as well as keep players posted on the latest updates and features of the game. So this week we are taking a close look at the Downed Mode Skills that Guild Wars 2 revealed in its healing and death feature.
The idea of Downed Skills that you can use before completely going under as a character is definitely exciting. How many times have you button mashed your final seconds away before seeing your bar go blank in other MMOs? The idea of downed skills lets you think about what you can do and have an option to come back. In terms of excitement, the idea seems to make combat much more exciting and allow for players to rally. Using specific abilities when your character is downed, you can possibly heal yourself back up and rejoin the fight. Not only do you have this option on your own, but other players can rally to your cause as well.
