Guild Wars 2

Okay so, first off I play thief and I know the class and mechanics very well and have spent many hours in WvW. Last night I saw a TC thief from [TSP] The Shipwrecked Pirates attacking a Dolyak, so I bursted him into downed before he could even use a stealth skill. literally 1 second after he was downed he disappeared, and no he didn’t use Shadow Escape or Smoke Bomb, it was an open area. I got no experience or any kill credit whatsoever. A few minutes later he came out of his spawn while I was trying to take a camp and killed me then proceeded to jump on my body and spam /laugh for 5 minutes.

Anyways, did they not fix this thoroughly or did this guy just figure out some way to exploit it? He seemed like the type of person that would have no issue cheating. I sent in a report, but we all know how that goes. Anyone else experienced this since the patch?

Probably just missed him due to rendering, could be possible he rallied off of something nearby and insta stealthed away. But I’ve always gotten my credit.

I ran toward a guardian today while in my griffon potion, and he ported out.

Guardians fear griffons.

They can Alt+f4 as soon as they get out of combat (which happens fast some times)… but in this case he probably ‘ported + stealthed somewhere you didn’t see then used the warp back to his spawn.

Ports can also some times still put you inside the ground/boxes/etc. as well (which is where he might have gone). It’s not as common as it was before… but it still can happen. On my guardian this week I used JI on a frog and wound up trapped by teleporting inside my own teams dredge turret… (lol)

We’re allergic to the plush. It causes us to swell up on contact. It’s not funny man.

It could also be that they were in queue for another borderlands and the queue popped. While I havent done that since the alt-F4 fix I have done it before.

I’m in queue for another borderlands and somebody attacks me. Halfway through the fight the queue pops. If I say travel I’ll go there, combat or not. Doing it when you lose sucks for the guy who is beating you but when you die you gotta wait in queue again. So even when you think the guy deserves the rewards for a hard fought win, yer still gunna take the port.

It’s not something you can force to happen, but it can happen.

I can assure you he didn’t warp + stealth (even if he did it only lasts 3s max if traited) as I stated it was an open area and i’m well aware of what thieves can do. I suppose it is possible he warped through the ground, no matter how you look at it he came back from his spawn so he didn’t just “get away”. Oh yeah, the Dolyak he was attacking was killed before I downed him, so no rally.
