Guild Wars 2

Either leave it to work as it was or fix the bugs related with it, for example mobs can still see you and target you when you enter camouflage close to them, mobs that hit you with aoe while you are under camouflage effect very often keep on attacking you though you are stealthed, while under camouflage buff you can be unstealthed by thief who uses shadow refugee, and many, many more.

Very often you have to use it like 4 or 5 times in a row to drop the aggro, and now you will simply die. And why did you even change the way it worked? I didn’t see anyone complaining about it and in dungeons it was a life saver, now it is close to useless, you could remove it from the game instead, would be much better.

It was working correctly yes, however it was being used to make dungeons easier. I personally used it a lot in COFp1 to avoid the other mobs at the acolytes. Also various other places where I would run through a lot of mobs only to go invis at the end and be perfectly safe.
I very much doubt this was the intended use of the item. I don’t like the change, but I saw this coming for a long time. Considering how they changed stealth in general, the kits aren’t that useful anymore anyway.

Just fyi, this is not a “bug” but just a complaint, so this topic will most likely be closed soon.

1. Mobs can still see you and target you when you enter camouflage close to them
2. Mobs that hit you with aoe while you are under camouflage effect very often keep on attacking you though you are stealthed
3. While under camouflage buff you can be unstealthed by thief who uses shadow refuge

fyi these are the bugs so it won’t get deleted, learn to read.

As for the item itself as I said, would be much better to completely remove it from the game rather than making it useless.

And as for skipping content using it what did you expect? Instances are bugged so everyone wants to be done with them asap, it’s painful to farm instances instead of being enjoyable, but if you want get items fast without spending gold you have to do them.

1. When they are already attacking you (ranged/channeled) it will still hit you yes (and thus breaking stealth)
2. Stealth is not ment to make you invulnerable (duh) and also, being hit breaks stealth
3. You can only have 1 stealth up, so yes if you get stealthed by another person (overwrites) and that breaks, it will cancel stealth

I must say, the visual aspect of stealth does not break upon taking damage, so that could be considered a bug.

Being hit doesn’t break stealth, as for 3rd point you make no sense. These are bugs so stop looking for excuses.

I mentioned this in another thread, but it looks like you can keep wasting Spy Kits, even though you are on cooldown.

I was exploring the changes and noticed that double clicking the kits, while there is a cooldown, will still consume them.

You don’t get to stealth again (because of your cooldown), but the game has no problem consuming them like they had no cooldown.

Other MMO’s prevent you from using another consumable until the cooldown runs out for the first one.

I think the developers forgot to design a logic check to prevent you from using another Spy Kit during the cooldown.

Actually, you can waste Spy Kits without even activating the countdown timer.

If you double click a kit in your bags, but don’t hit the skill bar to activate the kit, double clicking on new kits will still waste them.

It will be easy for players unfamiliar with the new nerf to keep double clicking Spy Kits in their inventory wondering why it isnt’ working.
