Defeated
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
A defeated character is no longer able to participate in a battle in any way. A downed character enters a defeated state once their consciousness meter reaches zero, which happens over time and may be hastened by attacks to the character. In this mode they must either wait for an ally to revive them or resurrect at a waypoint for a small amount of coin, equivalent to the price for using waypoints when alive.[1] Such fee is in place in order to avoid allowing characters to use death as a way of teleporting for free and is waived if the player has no money either in inventory or storage.[1] Every time a character is defeated one piece of armor gets damaged. Once all armor pieces are damaged, each subsequent death will break a piece of armor at random. When a piece of armor breaks, you no longer benefit from any statistical bonuses it provides until it is repaired. [2]
While defeated, if you decide to travel to another waypoint and someone tries to revive you while your map is displayed, the message: A noble soul is trying to revive you will pop up. [3]
