Imagine in WvW an Ability line where the gold cost of upgrading a tower/keep/camp is reduced. It doesn’t have to be high – 5%, 10%, at 20% max etc. Anyway thoughts?
First AC break stealth and now this.
What other profession’s foundation keeps getting nerfed every month? Not like we can give stealth to everyone effectively. Mesmers have better group stealth fields then us and we depend severely on stealth for survivability and damage.
Sigh.

Confirm this bug still exists:
Logging out during King Toad countdown timer will get the zoom stuck. This is potentially an exploit issue allowing you to see further than you should in WvW or sPvP.
I can confirm the that i’ve seen people get on top of that supply but I’ve never tried it.
In addition to the one the OP posted, there are 2 more Redvale/Greenvale/Bluevale “cheat” in regards to the entrances.
I put it in video form.

FPS: 110-170 to 80-90 FPS when near campfire
Temps: 59-63C to 69-73C when near campfire
Please note: I do alot of WvW so my settings are so i get a better framerate in bigger zergs. I remove shadows completely, no AA, no Reflections, Native sample, no Post-Processing, and Low Shaders.
As Aenema said, in a full room of people and getting the screenwide smoke causes an occasional system crash for me.

Update your video drivers.
Blow compressed air through your powered off laptop. Make sure no dust is causing overheating.
Make sure your lapto kitten itting on a solid surface when playing. Not a blanket or carpet.
Make sure Lowest/Lowest is set for both options. I know you mentioned it but just make sure. Also if your system can’t handle it maybe turn down some graphic options: Work your way through this: Rendering Sample: Native, Shadows None, Shaders: Low, Post Processing: None, Anti Aliasing: None, Reflections: None.
Play with some options with your GPU out of game. For example if NVIDIA: slide to Best Performance instead of Highest Quality. That will reduce GPU utilization and reduce PC temperatures. That way you wont overheat.
I have 915 hours playing GW2 and the only time I ever system crashed is during FE. And I have crashed regularly at that same exact times.
My system doesn’t hit critical temps any other time – I have a quad SLI setup. My temps while in game (not WvW) hardly exceed 60C per GPU and fan power stays at around 40-50% but when FE spawns these numbers go crazy.
I try to stay outside the chamber when it spawns to avoid the smoke. Everything is fine up until the spawn part. CLEAN does his countdown – he pauses for a bit – and then FE spawns and I experience a serious system hit. I would say about 10% of the time my system crashes. I am unsure if my camera angle at the moment of spawn has an effect on this, but I don’t want to test it.
It could be that my Motherboard settings need to allow for higher temperature readings before forcing emergency shutdown, but to allow this exception just for 1 event in 1 game is short sighted. I am able to play other games fine in high/ultra settings on a 3 monitor setup, but this kitten thing crashes me in 1 monitor windowed.
I know that the Fire Shaman’s second Stage Elemental in Scorchland is optimized, why isn’t this Fire Elemental optimized?

The 1 sec additional debuff doesn’t even fix the Cloak and Dagger WvW issue that was the real problem. They screwed all other thief builds over, but those thieves can still exploit the perma stealth from CnD. CnD needs to either: enforce the revealed state, have less of a stealth, or cost more initiative to use.
ANET needs to identify the problem before attempting to fix it. The problem isnt the revealed state, the problem is CnD being exploited to stay nearly perma stealthed. Before CnD was exploited by chaining it on a Gate/Wall. Now they are chaining it on NPCs inside enemy towers/keeps. A group of 15+ people can’t find 1 thief because he times CnD to stay chain stealthed.
The thief times it so they will only be visible for a fraction of a second yet still gets off a powerful attack. And if he gets a mug off during that second, its a powerful hit able to kill stragglers.

You get 1 chest a week… Doesn’t matter if you do a T1 or a T3 its 1 chest after the first bounty killed. Doesn’t matter if you fail the bounty or succeed. You will only get 1 chest after defeating your first bounty target.
I believe the reset is Saturdays at 8PM EST.
The Wurm can also be melee’d as well before the Spawn animation finishes. Just swipe at the area he is spawning at.
He needs an invulnerability window.
This is what happened: In NW tower in WvW (I am SBI and was invading Maguuma) me and a group of guildmates placed 3 siege on the door. We proceeded to attack the door. Eventually defenders started arriving to siege the attackers. As a defender was entering I used the skill Infiltrator’s strike (Thief Sword 2) to immobilize them. I wanted to kill the player before they entered the Tower. Instead of immobilizing the guy, I was teleported inside of the Tower behind the gate.
To recap: I was able to enter a tower without the Gate going down using an Infiltrators strike (Sword 2)!
Hell, I’d report someone who did it as hacking if it happened the other way around. So I want to make sure I report this in as much ways as possible. I did submit a bug report with a screenshot of it happening. I died very fast in my confusion – but i did Dagger Storm. I was also on teamspeak as it happened and If needed people can vouch for my reaction.
Thief trait “Venomous Aura” does not prioritize the buff to party members in a large group of people.
When game launched Daily reset was at 8PM EST.
Daylight savings time happened and it moved to 7PM EST.
Daylight savings time went away now and it is back at 8PM EST.
Please also note that you might need to relog or rezone to refresh your achievement list. It is a bug. Daily actually reset at that time, but your client needs to force a refresh on the achievement panel and that can be achieved by rezone/relog.
I was having disconnects in high population areas until I enabled QoS on my router. TCP/UDP 6112, 6600 high priority.
This could be 2 things:
- internet connection issues
- pc framerate
i am inclined to believe it is a connection issue since you are DCing.
Are you behind a firewall? router? going through wifi? Try connecting directly to your isp modem and bypass the router. Do you still have issues? Try connecting via an ethernet adapter not wifi. Wired can be ~ 20x faster than wireless.
Do you have other applications open in the background. Are you uploading data? Is someone on your network uploading tons of data. That slows down overall internet speeds and can cause problems as well.
Do you have QoS enabled for GW2 to prioritize the packets being sent? Guild Wars 2 requires TCP ports 80, 443, 6112 and port 6600 be fully unrestricted and accessible, both inbound and outbound.
GW2 is notoriously straining on an internet connection – especially in those high density areas with tons of people. You can look for other posts about DC/GW2 disconnects my internet.
Scripting bugged on me yesterday too.
Good to know that you can fix her by letting her die.
Teleported in and doors where there… few seconds later doors vanished.
Telported to 2 other kryta zones, doors were also gone. Teleported into lions arch, walked into asura gate to Queensdale, and walked out to Kessex Hills… doors where there?
Hmm?
9/24/2012 Update:
- Heartseeker missing at just within range has been fixed.
I tested the method that I was able to repeat in the video posted on Page2 and it is now hitting correctly. Anyone still getting miss?
Black lion chests have more value? Today is a day for celebrating!
GIF of Heartseeker missing on Bunnies and Eagle:
http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab23/SirHypnotoad/seekerrorrate.gif
Probably misses 50% of the time.
Something worth noting about this .gif is that the UI of the thief is not visible. So we can’t see the range indicators, meaning he could be just outside of the attack range for Heartseeker Strike in every example shown there.
It turns out that using Dagger 2 when just outside of range (There’s a red bar underneath the skill when out of range) will leap you directly to the target, putting you within range for Dagger 1, but since the user was beyond the 450 range of Heartseeker Strike, the skill misses. The animation just makes it look like it should hit because 30 in-game distance units is a negligible distance. (Dagger 1 has a range of 130.)
Taking your post into consideration I was able to repeat MISS on heart seeker while indicator is incorrectly showing within ‘range’. When used WITHIN range but significantly under 450 the skill will miss. I was able to repeat the miss bug.
So :
- Heartseeker range indicator needs reduction to correctly show if it is within actual range
Here is a youtube of 7/8 consecutive misses on the same Rabbit with UI on and within ‘range’ (UI scaled up):
Clearly, the issue is the range is not correctly indicated. After taking a few steps closer – heartseeker doesn’t miss. If they fix range in the tooltip to match the actual skill range and this bug will be fixed (?)

what about WvW? what about dungeons?
Did you guys explore those?
Broken Mail - Unable to recieve mail and items attached

No it was not (was 8/10 and not the red that you get with full mail). Although it gave me the idea to delete some more messages. I deleted one message and then it refreshed. It instantly loaded to full and flashed red. Cleaning out seems to update it.
So are you good now? Regardless, thank you for sharing that info — I am sure it will help other players, too.
Weeks ago, I had this issue with server not delivering mail when I had 9/10. I would not receive anymore.
I had to delete one and it would send me the next queued up message.

Serious thief bug still not fixed from beta
Threads go all the way back to September 05, 2012 – and people claim it was a bug in beta.
As thieves we only have 4 weapon options for main hand magnifying a bug of this nature. Please address – thank you for your time.
(edited by SirHypnotoad.6549)
I just tested it results are as follows:
After typing different numbers and getting the rate, the cheapest I could get 1 Gem is
0g 0s 65b.
You can also type up to 0g 0s 96b for 1 Gem – but when you say Trade it will only take 0g 0s 65b for 1 Gem.
No refund is issued because excess gold is not taken.
Greatsword Burst skill `Arcing Slice` gives Fury when text description says it gives Might.
There is a stealth debuff that prohibits you going into stealth again for a few seconds after you stealth.
Hidden thief stealth is broken by auto attack. Have a bug report:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Hidden-Thief-Trait-auto-attack-Weapon-Skills-with-stealth-modifiers/first#post20083
Clones, Pets, Minions need to have their stealth behavior re-evaluated … sometimes they don’t disengage on stealth, sometimes they are too quick to react to destealth, and ive been attacked by them by stealth.
(edited by SirHypnotoad.6549)
Hidden Thief is bugged and only works correctly if Auto Attack is off
With Hidden Thief off and Auto Attack On
After I Steal, Auto attack weapon 1 is initiated.
With Hidden Thief on and Auto Attack On
After I Steal, Auto attack is not initiated BUT the character automatically hits weapon skill 1 one time and breaks stealth. Combat is engaged using 1 attack of ‘non stealth version of attack’ while in stealth and stealth is broken.
With Hidden Thief on and Auto Attack off
Character remains in stealth and weapon skill 1 becomes ‘from stealth attack’.
Typically going into stealth disables auto attack all together.
Hide In Shadows, Shadow Refuge, and Blinding Powder all disable auto attack. They all switch weapon skill 1 to the ‘from stealth attacks’ version and wait for user command before performing next attack.
Strangely, Stealing from an enemy assumes I want to attack with Weapon Skill 1.’
I have posted a bug report and would appreciate fellow thief attention:

I used the Dungeon Vendors to preview items for this test (the NPCs that trade Dungeon tokens for Armor in Lion Arch’s Fort Mariner).
When you first preview a Head armor piece and next preview a chest armor, the head armor piece texture gets removed.
I have only noticed this with Helmet equipment:
Heavy Helmet texture not working after Chest armor: http://i.imgur.com/BQVRh.jpg
Light Helmet texture not working after Chest armor: http://i.imgur.com/09Sts.jpg
Helmet texture working before Chest armor: http://i.imgur.com/ycd78.jpg
Certain chest armor + helmet combinations doesn’t cause the texture error… but the bug is there.
Switching from overflow to main couts as a zone out.
Resets everytine you logout.
Gate with Virtue of Resolve…
This needs to be fixed since you cant use supply tactics to starve out a keep/tower.
Maybe retaliation Boon + arrow cart has unintended consequences?
Do you know if the person you are attacking has Retaliation Boon?
If YOU are in overflow and he is on an actual server, you will get that message.
The message should say something less panic inducing than network error.
If you want to play together tell him to Join you… that way you queue together to get out of overflow. Or just wait until you are out of Overflow.
I can confirm this bug.
I have seen soothing mist on gates recently.
In beta I have heard of situations where necromancers spread debuffs on a gate through Epidemic. I am not sure if that is fixed, but the BOON on gates is in full effect.
They have mentioned this a few times and it is Intentional. Servers have to get their own influence. If you mouseover the influence it actually says “<SERVER NAME> Influence Earned: <INFLUENCE>”. I think if you want bonuses and upgrades on other servers you must designate leadership there.
I remember hearing a few people had to purchase the Portal Stone from LA too.
Are you sure your accounts are linked properly?
Other than that – I have exhausted my expertise. Sorry I couldn’t help.
Make sure you empty more than 9/10. Apparently it should say 9/9…..
Use your Hall of Monuments Portal Stone to teleport into Eye of the North.
From there travel north west following the carpet into the scrying pool.
Talk to Kimmes the Historian and ask him to ‘Show me my legacy’.
Why are people already in WvW able to queue up for WvW?
Give that queue slot to someone else.
something is off about wvw queues… please investigate
I can confirm this bug.
The tool during the animations you get of other players while they gather is wrong.
eg: Chopping down a tree with a Mining pick.
'Hidden Thief' Trait & auto-attack Weapon Skills with stealth modifiers
Posted by: SirHypnotoad.6549
I have noticed this with stealth in general. It would be nice if your auto-cast skill was disabled when entering stealth. Allowing you to get into position, then excecute your “from stealth attacks” by pressing “1” again.
Typically going into stealth disables auto attack all together.
Hide In Shadows, Shadow Refuge, and Blinding Powder all disable auto attack. They all switch weapon skill 1 to the ‘from stealth attacks’ version and wait for user command before performing next attack.
Strangely, Stealing from an enemy assumes I want to attack with Weapon Skill 1.
With Hidden Thief off: After I Steal, Auto attack weapon 1 is initiated.
With Hidden Thief on: After I Steal, Auto attack is not initiated BUT the character automatically hits weapon skill 1 one time and breaks stealth. Combat is engaged using 1 attack of ‘non stealth version of attack’ while in stealth and stealth is broken.
With Hidden Thief on and Auto Attack off: Character remains in stealth and weapon skill 1 becomes ‘from stealth attack’.
It is very strange behavior.
The only time it works correctly is when you recently enabled/disabled auto-attack to skill 1 (control+mouse2). The next combat will always steal correctly with hidden thief.
(edited by SirHypnotoad.6549)
I’m not sure if they fixed this or not but I had to do the entire 100,000 in the same zone. I couldn’t log out. I couldn’t move to a different map. I had to rush to avoid a build update.
'Hidden Thief' Trait & auto-attack Weapon Skills with stealth modifiers
Posted by: SirHypnotoad.6549
Current Behavior:
If you apply the Hidden Thief trait your Steal skill applies a 2 second stealth on your character.
Usually while under the Stealth effect certain weapon skills such as Vital Shot or Trick Shot become more powerful versions of themselves (eg Surprise Shot or Sneak Shot).
Bug:
If you have auto attack set to Vital Shot/Trick Shot and you use Steal to engage combat your character will default to using the non-stealth related skill even while under the Stealth condition.
What should happen is:
1) Steal from enemy
2) Go Stealth
3) Initiate Surprise Shot/Sneak Attack
4) Break from Stealth
5) Auto attack Vital Shot/Trick Shot
What Currently Happens is:
1) Steal from Enemy
2) Go Stealth
3) Initiate auto attack Vital Shot/Trick Shot
4) Break from Stealth
