Guild Wars 2

Not QQing or anything, but most of the time, whenever I get hit by Backstab , it takes more then 1~2seconds for me to actually see the Thief. Luckily, my Mesmer is no glass cannon and can survive an initial Backstab.

Is this a bug, intentional or just my computer graphics?
I wonder if it’s the same for the Mesmer stealths too?

Thanks in advance !

It’s the same for all invisibility, and its a bug tied to the engine. Not your graphics card

Note that during that 1-2 seconds of “extended” invisibility, you can still target the thief using the tab button.

Thanks for the straightforward answer! Good to know when facing enemy thieves and mesmers

I’m amazed, someone who actually didn’t come in and complain that “OMG BROKEN CHEAT HAX”. I wish more people were like this, calm and tried to find a solution to the problem. :x
Good luck OP, hopefully you wont have to suffer this issue for long (15th nov patch might fix).

There’s another bug that if you use some stealth skill it wont work. Rather, you’ll get revelead debuff without even attacking or going stealth,wasting an entire ultility skill. But that you won’t see any complaining topic :/

I think that’s because just about everything, sensible or not, will cause you to be revealed.

If I use clusterbomb on a far away target, then hide in shadows afterwards, I get revealed because an arrow I shot before I stealthed hit an enemy. Even worse is when you set up a radiation field as an Asuran, only for someone to walk into it 15 seconds after you’ve placed it down, and reveal you.
