I agree, sort of. All i want is to see lifetime kills, i know ill have a good k/d because im a bow thief, but i just want to see my TOTAL KILLS.
I also am trying to make more people aware of this, not sure if people are oblivious to it, dont care, or they actually think its a mechanic
So, as many people have realised now, using stealth does not stop attacks from hitting/tracking you.
Channeled attacks being the main problem. Once the target player stealth’s, not only do the attacks damage the target but they also show you the direction they are traveling.
I’m curious if this is a mechanic of the game, or a bug. I would definitely like some discussion on this issue since it effects every profession.
i dont know where this whole “dagger storm is useless damage” thing came from, it gives stability and reflects projectiles. not to mention its effective at destroying mesmer clones.
This is such an old issue, and i haven’t seen a reply to it. Its not just shortbow, every attack tracks stealth, my trick shot tracks stealth, even heartseeker tracks stealth. If this isn’t a mechanic, and they do fix it, thieves survivability will sky rocket.
attacks in stealth that dont do damage do not break stealth. Also, they should fix actual bugs first rather than balancing, such as attacks tracking stealth
i have network lag, from aus. its probably similar, except itll never change for us lol.
logged in again, its still an issue. ill log out till its fixed
just logged back in, its still happening. and im off again :P
+1
same to me
yes, im getting this aswel. Then when it finaly get booted or change maps, all the voice overs and notifications catch up at once
you’re not wrong, definitely should have been alot more features for pvp. since it is the endgame…
@ brickforlife, you have good points. However isnt #5 backwards, once they finish gw2 ,they will go to mop.
pvp is the endgame, and theres just no incentive for it. wvw rewards are grindy and underwhelming, and so is wvw in itself. spvp has the same weapon/armor skins as pve. Except i can get all those skins in the world environment 10x quicker.
i look forward to anet fixing spvp
everything tracks stealth, even melee auto attacks. my attacks lean towards stealthed people so i know where they are. very broken mechanic indeed
not sure why they dont have ms display, i think its because they have terrible ping compaired to other games. However, you can check ping using pingplotter(download it) or using the -diag trick.
Anet are having alot of problems, and dont reply to forum posts.
Also if you want to check ping, try using pingplotter, or the -diag test
lag starts at 7pm EST and continues all night and early hours of the morning.
i live in australia,melbourne. Im with iprimus, im on a adsl+2 connection, and have a dgnd3700 router.
can anyone give me advise on this problem.
i get a steady 330 ping to gw2 during daytime and night time, but nighttime lag causes disconnects. its not you, its anet. ( i also get 170 ping to games like LoL and WoW)
also, it has a hidden 50 second cooldown on the 6 slot proc.
when leaving shadow refuge it gives a revealed debuff, whether or not this is suppose to happen, i do not know. however, when being knocked out of the refuge it sometimes does not trigger revealed debuff. siege weapon knockbacks tend not to trigger the revealed debuff.
as title says, channeled abilitys track stealth, giving away position and damaging you. Abilitys already in motion such as heartseeker even follows and curves towards you if they cast it just before you stealth.
sometimes blind powder doesnt make you stealth, and instead triggers the revealed debuff. anyone have info on this?
this might be a feature, so that you’re not jump shotting (running away, jumping and turning and shooting at same time while still moving away). if it isnt a feature, its one major flaw in the game.
I get alot of lag during 7-11pm EST, anyone else?
hello
For starters, I’m from Australia and my ISP is iprimus, I also use a Netgear DGND3700.
My question is about lag in general, I have used pingplotter and -diag, and i get 320 ping for both. Which is quite high( I get 170 for LoL/ WoW) and i doubt arena net improve that much.
But the real problem is from 7pm-11 EST I experience delayed action/rubber banding/lag ( except for guild chat which is very fast, and I often speak to guildies during my long combat lag delays). and even after 11pm the lag is pretty average but noticeably better
I have the same ping during these times, but with a lot more connection problems . I have checked pingplotter during these times and it remains the same 320 ping.
I also cannot get any results for hops/ping when i use diag during these times, but i can during any other time.
Results with pingplotter show the last 4 hops increase in ping, jumping from 160 to 320 (12 hops in total)
Thank you for reading . I would appreciate any feedback.

channeling abilitys from enemys track you in stealth, which not only gives away your position but also damages you. Bit of a game breaker for stealth trait thiefs.
only reason theres not more QQ is because if you go stealth spec, you most likely have a bit more toughness then the average thief.

Going to try Battleping just for fun today when lags are gonna start to rumble again.
any luck with battleping?
I have been getting this lag since launch, from the time of 7-11pm, timezone gmt+10. very specific stop and start time.
When i dc from the game i get the typical 7:11####. My time playing every other hour of the day is perfect.
i have tested this connection with no other “attached devices” using the same internet connection.
Does anyone else have this problem, or have a fix for it.
