I find it odd that someone wouldn’t be able to tab and find you… I rarely am able to hide unless I can break line-of-sight and they can’t target me. Would be interested to know how you avoid detection by means other than just someone “seeing” you on their screen.

I have a couple friends that did this. Yes, they can be targetted, but for some reason the potions make culling worse. The game basically says there is no threat so no reason to tell the poor unsuspecting enemy player…until they are toast.

Culling > a lot

You’ll be surprised how many people don’t see you :P and another thing i like to do is getting a bunch of ruminant tonics and turn into rams on the hills. Surprisingly enough again, people don’t think to look at rams. Turning into other animals work as well such as hyleks in the hylek camp

I keep names on at all times… I don’t see how this could fool someone who does unless you just weren’t rendered (lol culling).

Well sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, a lot of time, we try to lie down so were almost completely hidden in the brush. But in all honesty, disguising yourself as an animal works better

What tonics do you use, and where can you get them?

Do most people disable the server color thing on enemy equipment? I never bothered, so all the enemies I see are dressed in red, blue etc. Hard to blend into the landscape as the red server against me unless you’re pretending to be a raspberry bush.

haha thats a good idea actually though hiding in a raspberry bush. But like i said before, we found that the tonics actually worked pretty well, if you skip ahead in the video i posted you can see some examples

I mainly use ruminant tonics but also get the hylek tonics from an npc. You can also make tonics in the mystic forge but find it is a hassle because you tend to need a lot of materials.

…people have names off in WvW? Aside from those kitten thieves, it’s hellishly useful to have a big red “I’m not friendly!” title over that person that just poofed into existence thanks to culling.
