Experience with thief: I have had a level 80 thief for a while, but just recently decided to switch over full time. Trying to get better at PvP and ganking in WvW. Also looking to find other thieves to discuss strategy with.

I am currently getting into WvW and I have previously enjoyed using D/D – SB. I was wondering if this is also usable in WvW (and is effective)? With videos and guides being written over the past few years, I can’t tell which ones are up to date and useful, and which ones have been declared broken because of a patch (like the old D/P permastealth).

I guess I am asking, does anyone know where I can get current up-to-date information and tips on the best way to play thief in WvW these days?

Thanks!

Hm I was expecting like 20ish around that area I guess. Regardless I don’t even and 3-4, I will let you know what happens after the reinstall

By bustling can you give me a rough estimate of how many people? It might just be my game then, I am reinstalling. But regardless I dont know if my “bustling” is the same as yours

And that is exactly the problem. I just went there and not a soul in sight. So this is starting to sound like a tech issue maybe? I have my graphics all the way up on everything except shaders, but I messed with a few and didn’t do anything. Should I try a full reinstall to see if it fixes or are there other things I can try?

Again, thanks to everyone for all the help

I cant see models and there is no one chatting other than in map chat.

I have noticed that when I do see people, they only pop up when they are within about 20 feet of me. So could this be a technical thing on my side? And is there anyone who knows how to fix or has had experience with this?

Thanks

Its weird is it possible that I have culling happening? And could it be reduced with lower graphic options? Because honestly i never see anyone in LA or in the areas anymore other than maybe 1 or 2 by the portals to the WvWvW.

Thanks for the reply guys.

Sorry for the double post, but by chance could this happen:

when i guest into sea of sorrows, it takes me to the overflow, then when i travel it takes me back to shiverpeaks LA?

Just really weird. Are there more people in LA or Orr?

I am currently standing (guesting in Sea of Sorrows) in lions court in LA and see no one.

Sea of Sorrows is pretty lively, and when I guested I got put into overflow. I thought “awesome ill see some people”. But then I traveled to the regular zone and nobody was there. I looked all over LA and no one was to be see really except for like 3 or 4 guys .

Is it a guesting thing then? Do I not get to see as many people? I didn’t have this before when I played, but just started back up and noticed this.

I see, It would be different if I saw like 10 people out questing when im playing, but I played for four hours today and only saw 1 guy, and he was in lions arch. Just odd I guess.

Hello everyone, this is my first post on these forums.

I have a question/concern.
I am from the Northern Shiverpeaks Sever and it seems as I am running around questing, there is NO ONE to be seen. even when I ghost to the “bigger” severs, I can’t seem to find anyone, even in Lions Arch. It makes me feel like I am alone playing this game. And its not because I am in overflow, because I wasn’t.

I guess what I am asking is where are people? Is everyone just hanging out in Orr or is there really that few of players playing?
