Guild Wars 2

Could we also get the blur effect and whooosh sound on dodge, please?
Since its a Theif specific effect, its not fair that asura thiefs dont get it. I dont mind if they flip and blur or dash and blur, just blur it.
BLUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRR WOOOOOOOOSH k ? =D

I have no idea why they don’t get it. When I saw my fiance play on his charr thief, I was all like, “Did you pick some sort of trait to get that effect?”.

But no, asuran thieves don’t get the blur thing. Doesn’t bother me personally though.

Maybe it’s cause Asura cause less drag? lololol

I’m glad they don’t have blur effect. So it’s harder for them to tell if you used endurance to dodge or simply just jumped around like a manic asura.
When you fight other thieves it’s easy to count/keep track of dodges with the blurs and go “yea eat my sneak attack/unload now kitten!”

Seems like an oversight.

Bug Report it?

I understand what you mean, but then that adds even more reason to why they should give ASURA thiefs the same dodge animation as other races thiefs.

As no race should have an advantage or disadvantage playing a certain profession.

The blur is caused by air resistance, and Asura are very aerodynamic. That’s what I say.

Also, golem grease is not only for lubricating the mechanical parts on golems.

LOL I was a human thief in beta and Asura thief since launch.. I never noticed this before lol..

It is both ridiculous and unprofessional that this bug has persisted this long. Fix it and polish the game please.

I made my asura thief hoping to have the cool dodge effect and it is absent.

It was there during BW3 (when you could test the Asura), when the game launched it was without it…
Honestly, it looked extremely strange with the effect in the way the Asura do a backflip and caused the ground below them to blur. This meant that we were basically hopping over the blur; yeah it looked odd.

If it looks weird, they should simply fix it. Not disable it. You don’t toss a sword when its edge is dull, you sharpen it. That solution is just lazy.

They do pay animation staff and other devs.. If a race is lacking a mechanic due to being that race, they should adapt it, not eliminate it altogether.

Came here to make this topic. The thief dodge effect is a distinguishing feature and should be present. I have tried submitting bug reports but still nothing. I have faith that one day it will be fixed.)

Keep up the good work anet!

I agree, the blur effect is something the class of thief is know for. It doesn’t make sense that one race has it and another doesn’t. I noticed this in beta and I think it’s due to the flip Asurans do when they dodge.

I know if both the flip and the blur happened then they would vault over the blur but can you just make the char model disappear during the blur animation like in other races?

I’m sure this is just on the todo list but defo needs sorting.

Cheers.

was just looking this up, it’s abit meh Asura dont get this… shouldn’t be a hard fix either, just assign the sound and animation to the asure thieves.
