In Guild Wars 2, when you die, you enter a 'downed state.' During this time, you have a chance to revive yourself by defeating an enemy or using a downed skill. If you are defeated in this state, you will need to either be revived by a teammate, use a waypoint (which may cost in-game currency), or consume a special item. There is no permanent death penalty but keep an eye on your armor health as it can take damage and require repair.
