Guild Wars 2

I know the rendering issue helped him a lot but i still find this video funny.

Edit : Removed vid
This one works. That link you gave says invalid parameter

Also, lol I do that a lot in wvw

how does he have 22k HP, does he have 3 orbs?

The enemies don’t seem to have an orb.

Armor, rune and traits prob brings it up to 22k.

That’s a bunch of seriously clueless people. You’d think they’d have one halfway decent greatsword guardian among them.

No it’s not a bunch of clueless ppl, it’s because of rendering issues. He wouldn’t be able to do anything with 1 eng there, the problem is due to rendering he is invisible the whole time even when you see him visible in the video he is actually invisible to the enemy due to the render delay, which they are fixing soon
I have no probs with it, it’s not like this game has perma stealth mechanic like other mmo’s, this one is a more innovative.

Wow, i love it.

“Shall we put some AoE’s down?” “NOPE!”

Absolutely amazing. Music fits the goofy clueless zerg perfectly.

Now you sir are a good player. See we dont have to build glass cannons….well done

No it’s not a bunch of clueless ppl, it’s because of rendering issues

It’s a bit more than a rendering issue though. They keep just standing around while taking damage. They don’t try to strafe around even though they know someone is attacking them. They don’t AoE around themselves. They don’t look for the Thief’s name in red to know which direction he is or try to target him with tab.

Guardian greatsword AoE, Elementalist meteor shower and the chill AoE, engineer bombs, there are a lot of ways to deal with someone sneaking around that none of them are using.

That was a fun watch.

Surprising how no one even thought to start throwing out AoE attacks to try and stop him. Must have been too absorbed with capturing the base.

You kind of didn’t see the part where they weren’t just fighting the thief, but were fighting the things in the base first (they were fighting the guy with immunity, which is stupid because he had immunity to damage and his damage was increased 10 times.)

And then his buddies started to come in to attack them.

If they were ALL focused on the thief instead of the immune to damage camp master/buddies, then this would of probably been a different story, but only 2-3 of them were actually trying to find the thief.

Am I missing something? How is he getting around the revealed debuff? There is no 3 second wait in between his stealths.

Revealed only applies if you attack out of stealth.

He is using cloak and dagger the moment he unstealths to restealth, and his opponents are too clueless to throw down AoEs, and maul him.

They..arn’t…even…attacking…… ….

Thank you for posting these videos. Now ANet and the community can see how broken this class really is…

Broken class is broken!

I don’t care what anyone says; there is NO way ONE player should be able to stop say 60 players from capping an objective like this (aggressively or passively). Try that with ANY other class and they will kitten you hard.

Can’t wait till ANet fixes this mistake of a class !

This post made my day. The level of a typical player who cries on thieves.

You do realise that Thieves can have above 14k HP… right?

Let me guess you get ganked a lot by thieves.? This class is fine. It’s the render issue like i said in the OP. Did you know that almost every class at some point don’t show up on my screen for a few seconds b/c of this issue in WvW.

Of course people are going to say the class if fine, they are enjoying how broken stealth mechanics are right now.

I play a thief, I do the same silly crap in the video. Its broken. Period. No one likes to admit it, because they enjoy it.

And yes there are counters to it. I have a warrior as well and am fully defensive specced, so thieves are a joke. However once a thief realizes they cannot take me they run away, go figure. They are only going to abuse these mechanics against players who are not smart to it yet… which is usually a ton in an MMO.

In case that wasn’t clear… I play a thief, and the stealth mechanics are totally broken.

@Badwrong – So you’ll be happy when all thieves are a joke for your warrior…AND they can’t get away at all?

You’re so fail and your logic is so bad, your head MUST hurt.

Thieves have 10k HP actually.

There is no problem with the stealth mechanic aside from culling and that you shouldn’t be able to stop cap progression in stealth.

No, I’m just pointing out that my warrior counters stuff like this. I also play a thief and when I do stuff like that shown in the video, it feels very broken. People will just defend this sort of thing because its very fun to do.

If culling just needs to be improved, then cool. After that we will see if it still feels broken.

Stealth is not broken at all, WvW is with this render issue. I’ve had so many encounters where i thought it was 1v1 when it fact it was me vs 6 or so b/c the rest didn’t show up on my screen yet.

Basically every class has stealth in WvW right now.

Well… that’s what I said, if culling is fixed we can then determine if its broken or not.

In sPVP where culling isn’t an issue, I’ve never had issues with stealth. In fact, a thief who wants to stealth and run away while not actually going for the point is useless.

It just seems in WvW thieves right now are abusing the culling stuff to the extreme. I’m sure a lot of players in that video were terrible, but culling being messed up is what really makes that sort of shenanigans possible. I play a thief and wvw stealth is just broken…. and again, if its JUST from culling (which is probably is) we will see how things are if its ever fixed.

Embarrassing. . . .

Seriously? That video is just hilarious!

Rendering issues helped you a lot there, but they could easily have killed you. It looked like they didn’t even try to kill you…. If they had just auto-attacked and use all their AoE’s all over the place you would have died pretty fast.

Well played though

Seeing something like that from the other side would be a real eye opener for people here. The backslapping and high fives is pretty silly and immature. Theres not much you can do when someone is perpetually invisible, aoes are easy to dodge, and even if the odd one hits so what? These people realise the futility, thats why they arent trying.

I’ve done this to smaller groups with 0 culling factored in.

Didn’t watch the video, but I can tell you rendering is the problem, not whatever happened in the video.
