Imagine if Sentries (the ones that causes the orange dots regardless if you are stealthed or not) revealed players (cause sentries know they are there…i mean…hello… Orange dots). That would make them more valuable when fighting them (I use em for the dots atm…helps a bit)

If we went with that route I think it would only make sense to have each group of guards at upgraded objectives have a new guard that reveals players as well. This would reveal any roaming classes in stealth, while also presenting a clear target for them to take out if they didn’t want to be revealed.

Whilst I believe this as true…not as many GT will fight near tower/keep guards, hence suggesting at the random sentries. Even if the Radar balloon thingy did it as well that would be sweet (cause…you know…they too showed its regardless of stealth so they know they are there)

Its more for consistency than anything else, and it could make it slightly less annoying to find out where they are tapping your keep without doing anything.

If you’re playing “rock”, you will never beat “paper”. Just move along and find something else to fight. I’m pretty dense but even I’m smart enough to have figured this out.

It isn’t OP against Ghost Thieves

Can you imagine what the game would be like if everybody was on ghost thief builds?

I got ya back on this one, you need to go without this riveting action.

LOL that crack me the hell up, thanks for that XD

I didn’t watch that whole thing. There was just too many visuals going on and I starting having eye strain issues. Did the Moa running around at least die?

The build has no direct counter so there really ins’t a rock, paper or scissor to the build. Some builds have a slight chance at killing it while others aren’t in significant danger but that is a handful of meta builds. An average player in an average build has no chance. Most don’t have a chance against the hybrid Ghost builds that don’t need to stealth the entire time just as an opener.

I have only died to a Ghost Thief ONE time. It was way back right before they were becoming a thing and I just didn’t understand what was happening. I learned from that one time and now I don’t die to Ghost Thieves any more. I don’t need to kill it. It can sit there all day and rot on its traps as far as I’m concerned. I move on to bigger and better things. For me it’s almost the same as fighting Nike warriors. I get them low, they run off and the fight is over. I’m not going to beat my head against a keyboard trying to force myself to have a bad time.

JUST MOVE ON (not aimed at you, I’m just saying this generally to everyone). Seriously. I consider myself to be a mediocre player at best and I do. not. have. trouble. with Ghost Thieves. Like at all. Hell I even built and fully geared one. Played it for an hour. Maybe two? Bored me to tears. I just don’t get what the big deal is for those who play them and for those that fight them.
