Guild Wars 2

Thiefs can longer stealth while in combat.

Problem solved.

Anet please go to youtube and type in “gw2 thief stealth”

Some of the vids are just ridiculous, entire fights while in stealth. Fix before every non thief moves on.

Thanks

Thieves cannot perma stealth.

They are revealed as soon as they strike an opponent and cannot enter stealth for a set amount of time.

What you’re seeing is a WvW rendering bug, which effects all classes.

XD you do know this would break the class, hell one of our heals is a stealth ability. Not to mention two or three openers that require you to USE stealth. How about you drop some AoE’s when the thief is render-bug abusing.

I understand its a “rendering” problem

But regardless of the “cause” its a huge problem, everyone and their grandma are rolling thief alts now

Hm… completely break a class instead of fixing the root problem… what a revolutionary idea!

What other class can do this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j54bkD-3Nr0

Come on man, you know its wrong

Yeah that video is ridiculous.

Choices are to QQ about it, to reroll a thief and make it worse, or to leave the game.

The odds of A.net ever actually making meaningful changes are negligible; this wouldn’t have made it through development if there wasn’t at least one developer who not only felt this is OK, but actually fought to include it in the game.

Was GW1 this bad?

LOL… ok so first half he is running around unable to kill anyone with cloak and daggers… Not surprising… every time he is revealed & disappears I didn’t see any AoEs what so ever… They could’ve at least tried. Halfway through he finally starts getting kills. Who is he killing? Well some the kills were from the other 3rd faction so those are easy pick offs since they ran into a red mob… but he does get some Red kills… How? They wandered off from the group & barely put up a resistance when attacked. And no he wasn’t stealthed once he opened up when he made these kills… Not resisting gets you killed… who knew? The only time he stealths is when he is finishing which btw if the group had any awareness they could’ve gotten him but barely any bothered to acknowledge his presence.

Now the “only” excuse to allow this to hapkitten the WvW rendering bug is occurring and while he is clearly unstealthed on his screen it does not appear so for the opponent.

Bug… not a class mechanic issue… its a bug… You showed us a video of either A. A thief picking off incompetent players or B. A thief abusing a bug… There it is again… “Bug”.

Does the bug need to be fixed? Absolutely! Should we break the class instead of fixing the bug…? Please tell me you’re shaking your head no…

He’s not exactly getting very far playing that way, from what I can tell…unless you happen to be aiming for slowest kills ever.

Seems like a very, very boring way to play, to me.

time-damage
0:16 – 2100
0:21 – 3423
0:26 – 1255
0:31 – 1555
0:36 – 1826

That’s about 500 dps, and i was generous with the time frame…
