You shouldn’t be able to block capture progress while being invisible. Right now thieves are abusing Descent of Shadows (Major Trait) in order to gain indefinite stealth from certain objectives. This trait doesn’t have an internal CD, so the thief can keep taking minor falling damage and remain invisible.

Notice Guardians have similar abilities. There’s no way a 40 man zerg that’s killed all the supply npc can’t take an objective…and yet they can’t while there are a couple stealth-ed defenders in the ‘ring’.

Not familiar with what you’re talking about w/ Guardians… but as a general rule, you shouldn’t be able to block a capture point if you’re invisible, especially with indefinite invisibility being possible.

Descent of shadows was nerfed this last patch. However, indefinite invisibility is still possible. They should just make it so that once the NPC’s are killed it’s a numbers game. More numbers = it starts ticking in your direction.

From my experience as soon as I go invisible if there is an enemy and no allies standing there, then the enemy starts making progress while I’m invisible. Therefore it isn’t blocked.

That’s from my skill based ones, the consumable may be different.

You may be talking about the bug where if someone kills the veteran at one of the flags, and then they die and couldn’t cap the point, for some reason it does let you retake the flag if it was your to begin with. You might be thinking someone is standing there invisible when it is just bugged and noone is there at all.

I must’ve missed the sign that said it was a fire sale.

I’m definitely not mistaken about this, trust me. One incident took place tonight on the HoD Borderlands.
