Please enjoy the newly introduced game mode, where all has turned invisible.

This is a game mode of total stealth, both you and your foes.

However, this is a newly introduced game mode, so there gotta be some bugs.

So certain entites listed here are not yet invisible
- Pets
- All netural Enemies
- Seige weapons (with exception of motars)

This game mode brings to a new level of excitement as you can go around your enemies totally undetected. This really takes skills as you have to heavily rely on your instincts, and paying close attention to minimap as you would start to see lines of corpses heading towards you.

Here’s some tips and guide to survive in this game mode.
- Set up a hotkey for locking on closest enemy, so you’ll know someone is near if someone suddenly shows up on your target.
- Communicate and report to anyone in charge in the map, as this is critical to everyone’s survival.
- Do not expose the location of yourself. This should be straight forward.
- Don’t panic the moment you got hit, it could just be a melee unit, and they could just hit you by accident.

I’ve included a video of this new game mode.

Try it out, it is fun.

@MajorKong

but, yeah, don’t you find my topic very fitting? xD

If you guys want to make things invisible, then at least make EVERYTHING invisible :P

at least I’d like to see Omega Seige golem go fully stealth, that’d be OP.

It was the answer to everyone complaining about thieves and Mesmer portals not rendering. Make it so nothing renders!

It looks likes something else it as play there because you literally have no players loaded at all. Whatever the case may be there’s little doubt that this is real and major issue.

My money is on frivolololous topic.

On topic: They should’ve just given us the stick figure visuals, even THAT is better than invis.

Rather than nerf backstab Thieves, they decided to give everybody Invisibility. Brilliant. Well played, ArenaNet.

Hi everyone.

There is another bigger thread that is discussing the issue of invisibility, here, and we would ask you to write your feedback there. As you may know, this invisibility problem is top priority in the team and they are working on it.

I agree, this is an interesting feature. I left The Old Republic for this game, and I get to take the fun part, (the force), with me from Star Wars, to the great aspects of WvW in this game. I have to rely of my knowledge of the force to sense my enemies and strike accordingly. =)

(I’m glad to see that there is a part of the community that manages to smile from the hiccups that are expected from a new MMO).

Speaking of that reminds me of the April Fool’s Day prank on GW1 xD

Edit: and thanks for the GM for understanding this thread was not ment for complaints, was for pure jokes and fun, well, at least I’m having fun xD

hahaha. This thread must stay!

A warrior, a guardian, and an elementalist walk into an open field…
The Warrior turns to the guardian and says, “Did you hear something?”
Guardian replies, “No, but how’d the elementalist die?”

I disagree. This new feature is making the game too hard, ArenaNet. What about your older players, and those less situationally aware, and your all-important casuals?

I can’t be bothered to spend all day practicing to fight blind swordsman style just so I can be up on the latest WvW tactics. I already cut myself twice, and you should see all the holes in the walls!

Arena.net heard our complaints that teams with mesmers had an unfair advantage by being able to use portals to be perma – invisible, and have levelled the playing field by granting perma invisibility to all professions.

+1 for entertainment value. The trollfactor toward Anet is quite amusing as well. Hopefully they can get things up and running soon!!

We started to call this Hell Mode, especially when you get rooted and a bunch of explosions happen on you, you really get that disabled feel like you get in Diablo 3. Most definitely a higher level of difficulty level in the game. Plus, it’s awesome having this new cloaking technology on my Warrior, I’m like a Thief with a free cloak cast!

You can play it in first person mode, yeah! xD

Don’t you know? this is the mode designed for hardcore players like you for staying in WvW for serveral hours.

It’s like how in GW1, every hour, it’ll reminds you how long you’ve played and suggest you to go take a rest.

The moment you go to Lion’s Arch and return, it’s all back to normal.

I think I should started to make another video about the serious lag+skipping in game and make as a Bot mode video xD

It looks like they have had a regression in the coding. I can now see my team-mates again :/

When will this be fixed Anet!!??

Guess too many people complained to ANet that this mode is too hard so they re-rolled, lol.
