Guild Wars 2

Can you please address the thief problem. The thief apologists asked us to wait until culling was fixed. It’s fairly clear that it will take a while. In the meantime, can you scale back stealth so that thieves cannot perma stealth? Thank you.

Thief rendering issues haven’t even been looked into yet as far as I know. I’m pretty sure the rendering delay of a thief un-stealthing has nothing to do with server-side culling. People have just been grouping those two things together because they usually don’t know what they’re talking about.

“Scale back stealth”… maybe be a little less vague on that?

Also, I believe you’ve been told this many times before, but if you have problems with perma-stealthed thieves on a regular basis, you’re doing it wrong.

Yeah, the culling is worse now than it ever was. Much worse. I get culling now when just a necro, from my own server, comes into range. I’ve run into supply camps and everyone including the NPCs just up and vanish for a couple seconds. I never had these problems before and rarely even encountered culling.

As for thieves, yes. Something needs to be done, but what? Thieves kind of suck at PvE and yet are rediculous in WvW. The stealth does need looking at, even though I have a thief and for some reason I have a tough time staying in stealth. I’m a pretty bad thief. Perhaps it’s that too many things can be one in stealth? I don’t know, but it needs looking at.

Actually thieves are really only good at the small group fighting within WvW. They aren’t very good in zergs.

So, what are people recommending? A longer stealth debuff and a buff to attack power?
