Guild Wars 2

This bug happens to me multiple times every time that I play WvW. Unfortunately I still haven’t pinpointed exactly what causes this.

When I’m using a lot of invisibility while in a fight, my character will often show as fully visible on my screen. However my character will actually be invisible to everyone else. The only way to tell this is by looking at the buff bar to see that I have invisibility. If I stack more invisibility on top, such as by using Shadow Refuge, I still will show as visible on my screen.

This is extremely confusing in intense battles and has lead to my death quite a few times. The main reason is that I will be low on health, will see that I am “visible”, and will be desperately trying to stealth when I am in fact already stealthed.

I assume there must have already been threads about this since this has been an issue since launch, but I don’t see any.

edit: This only happens while I am in fights. I haven’t seen a way to cause this while outside of fights. I guess it has something to do with my character being hit. And I am 100% sure that this isn’t me being “revealed” – I am clearly invisible while on my screen I show as visible.

I experience that all the time as well on my thief. And yes, I believe it’s been like this since launch.

This happens to me also. But only when I shadow step while stealthed.

Ahh yes, shadow stepping while stealthed guarantees this to happen. I’d realized that, but completely forgot while writing this thread.
