Guild Wars 2

yes I do know this is mentioned in the bug compilation post, but this is game breaking and needs to be adressed separately.

Just played match where 2 engis were invisible, they did take damage(I think cuz I’ve seen them drop healing turrets), they were recognized by server as in could contest point. They were not visible in combat log. Their turrets and projectiles could be seen as well as their aoe circles.
In the same match there was invisible ele, but can’t confirm if he was invis all the time or only part of the match.

After match I’ve seen multiple other people (not from the match) report similar issues. This needs to be addressed asap.

its NOT bug !!! LOL ..ITS HACKERS 100% …. i have video that i already send anet about the first ranger that use this hack … i just can guse that this post u wirted is made to cover this silly ranger that hack on pvp ranked ..so in my opinion this post just to cover your freind kitten ..befor he get banned ..so let anet confuse ^^

gogo go TK guild { time keeper }.. well was some time i respected this guild but nomore ..hack is for nun skills kids in my opinion ..
i just wish anet show no MERCY ..USE THE HAMMER ????

I was wondering when have engineers gotten the ability to stealth themselves and I’ve met quite a lot of them today in PVPs during their dailies.

People love to exploit.

@Cheong.3862
1. I am not trying to cover anything lol
2. Check your post before sending, it’s horrible to read
3. It could be hack, it could be bug, since I have not found any exploit that would allow this and few unrelated people reported same issue it is possible that it is bug.

Had an invisible Engineer in a Kyhlo match. Really frustrating.

Settle down it is a known bug. This has been reported at least 10 times now over the past 2 weeks in the forums. About half those threads were created by people who were invisible. How it happens is rather unknown. Now if someone is continuously invisible every new match then I would be inclined to believe that they figured out how the bug works and they are now exploiting it.

But since it can randomly happen you can’t say everyone who has this bug is exploiting. It can happen to anyone. Again if you search the forums several threads were made by people who had this bug happen to them. They wouldn’t report it if they were using it as an exploit.

Edit: OP you can get forum infractions for posting videos that include the players name. If anyone is going to get into trouble here it is you. Please remove the video or black out the name or remove that part of the video. It is against forum rules.

well anet already got mail with the video let them judge..
and please can u show me the 10 post over 2 weeks this the only one i found ..

we just had a match where our entire team was invisible from the start… gradually somehow some of our team apparently became visible, really annoying as we want to be able to play properly and there’s nothing we can do about it…

We just experienced a bug about an hour ago where the enemy claimed our whole spvp team was invisible to them.

We did attempt to pre stealth for our opener…unsure if that caused it.

We could see ourselves the whole time….no stealth buff…could contest points.

Please fix.

Guys, this happened to me yesterday in an sPvP match without me realising at first. It happened in two matches back-to-back and resulted in my being called a hacker.

I believe it has to do with the Superior Rune of Infiltration as this is what I was testing out as a S/F fresh air elementalist. At <= 20% life you get 4 seconds of invisibility, which to my mind was great for possibly getting out of a fight.

Hoping this gets fixed so I can use these runes in future.

@Andraus.3874
I could not find any other report on forum(other then in collective bug post), but that could be due to forum search engine being crap.
Also I did not post any video so I have no idea what you’re talking about

Sorry OP someone else had posted the video, the guy with the bad spelling. I was reading the threads wrong and had you confused with him. But it’s been removed.

Here are some examples

I remember seeing more but you have to go through the forums page by page to find them so yea

==******* if a Dev would read this=====**********

Most likely this bug relates to the Thurmanova Reactor Fractal. There has been a bug that has been “fixed” several times where you would die and go invisible for the rest of the shard. However this has yet to be fixed it just gets stated that it has been in the patch notes. It seems this current PVP bug also happens on death and respawn. Maybe just a coincidence but something I thought I would point out.

Also for anyone having this bug happen to them. (Or if a Dev or person here wants to go back in the forums and find people who have this bug happen to them and email in the forum):

Did you change your charater appareance to the new faces introduced in the 3/16 patch? This may be how it relates to the fractal bug I previously mentioned.

Just seen this happen in obsydan sanctum, it was some SFR engi, this was definitely deliberate action not result of random bug. All symptoms same as before, nothing in log etc

are you sure it was deliberate permanent stealth? i know that when it happened to us it was right after us testing how much stealth we could get from blasting before the match started.. and somehow we stayed invis after that… and i know a few other times it’s been after people used an invis skill…

think invis might be glitchy in general at the moment with it sometimes not re-rendering after it wears off…

@zxstanyxz.8769 It was clear he knew he was perma invis, and he tried to abuse it. It looked like deliberate “trolling”.

Welp, I’m part of this now, I was invisible to the whole enemy team during an sPvP match today. I never have and never will use any sort of hack to grant me such thing.

Nonetheless, I was reported by the whole enemy team for hacking or w/e, I’m glad to know its a known bug but am still worried about how it will look on Anet side since there’s still no official statement.

Here’s hoping.

The same can be said for WvW… Even commanders on our own side “disappear” for minutes at a time.

Just had this again, this time 4 of 5 enemy players remained invisible for the whole match.
As a note, all 4 were invisible from the start, so death and respawn were not part of the bug.
