Guild Wars 2

Others have posted about the issue with rendering opponents, but a particular problem lies in those who seek to exploit this issue. Specifically, a thief on the server we’ve been fighting this week has been able to successfully prevent 50 people from flipping a supply camp a number of times in which I was there. Ironically, the more people you have there, the more successful the thief will be, because of the rendering issue.

To me there seems a simple fix, which does not make the rendering issue go away but prevents this particular exploit. Anyone in stealth should not count toward flipping a point/supply camp/keep. If the thief is stealthed, he should not prevent a group from flipping control of the location. This would at least force him to come out of stealth to count toward taking control.

I have nothing against thieves having stealth and don’t want to see the class dramatically changed, but I don’t think this exploit is what was intended.

Our work-around for now is to simply AoE the living daylights out of the zone, eventually they have to show themselves, especially with condition damage so rangers pepper that zone
