Guild Wars 2

Can you please do something about the rendering issues which allow thieves to be nearly 100% invisible at all times in wvw, allowing a single thief to come into a group and kill them all (as happened to me today – in a group of 4 – all of us dead in less than 10 seconds from an invisible thief)???

Seriously – the balance issues are bad enough without having to deal with this as well. This is another disincentive to play wvw at this point.

There are two separate mechanics: stealth and rendering. I don’t have a problem with thief stealth: the ones with the most invisibility are weak and can be degen’d quickly. I’ve been surprised by thieves nearly every time I’ve played WvW, but I’ve never been killed by a solo thief and never failed to kill one if there’s been 4+ people in my group. However, the build I used to run would have been an easy victim for a well-played thief.

Rendering might be a different matter. I don’t have enough personal experience to say. Certainly thieves coming out of stealth should render right away.
