Guild Wars 2

I know a easy way to fix this: While invisible, your foes can NOT see the flying Ponies shooting from your Shortbow.

This topic has come up on the forums before, and I’ve friends who main thief and also feels the exact same way. They were unhappy with the projectile changes, some even claimed that the change was a ninja nerf. The Dreamer did not always have unicorn projectiles, it used to be smaller.

Quite a shame really, all that hard work and time spent into crafting which I believe looks wonderful but in the end forced to not use it.

A refund wouldn’t be asking for too much, considering how much effort it took to obtain the Dreamer in the first place. That would give them a second opportunity to choose a legendary weapon which they would be thoroughly satisfied with.

I’m a main thief that has the dreamer and it does make me sad that I have to reskin it for pvp.

It’s not a problem against new players or those that are unaware of game mechanics. However for those that are actively looking for it to know where to attack or to keep track of what an enemy is doing, the dreamer is by far an easier projectile to track than the plain old thief shortbow projectile.

Personally, I think that ANet should force standard weapon models for unranked and ranked play. That would be fair to me. And I believe it’s already an option for ranked play, but I would say it should be a required option for enemies in both arenas for weapons at least.

People who are competitively minded will go the extra effort to swap out bows before playing or to even reskin their legendary. ANet should be aware of this and honor our hard work in attaining this skin for PvP! I at least would be very thankful

Edit: One small tidbit; My suggestion does underscore those that take dueling in custom arenas seriously. I’m afraid I don’t have a suggestion for those players unless ANet can implement standard weapon models in all arenas

it sucks but realistically I’ve never had it be an issue ever in competitive pvp and I play some good peeps.

I agree with Lux. Haven’t played at a level where it’s negatively impacted me yet. Yeah, your opponents might be able to briefly see where you went, but it’ll still be very difficult for them to land an attack on you, provided you keep moving.

At least it’s not as bad as incinerator from stealth.

No, incinerator is fine. Nobody can see your steps while in stealth.

I’m talking about dancing dagger and shadow shot, both of which become highly visible flaming daggers when you use incinerator, making them much easier to dodge.
