Guild Wars 2

I’m wondering what can give stealth away? I was playing some WvW yesterday and a group was coming near so I stealthed with shadow refuge along with blinding powder and hide in shadows stealth stacked on top and moved away a considerable distance from where I was standing . Anyways, most of the group went on by, but suddenly someone broke away from the group and used a dash ability directly at me and started slashing away.

I’m wondering a couple thing though. Which animations can an enemy still see while you’re stealthed and the other was how was it possible that someone seemed to know exactly where I was when there wasn’t anything that could have given away where I was? Is there some class that has an ability which is able to target enemies even though they’re stealthed?

Dual.8953:

Personally I don’t have a problem with Thieves culling. More when you rush into your garrison to stop the zerg from taking your lord and it takes you 10-20secs to realize you’re over extended and to your ears in Invaders.

Are you by any chance an Asura?

How much would WvW change is player culling was reduced significantly or removed all together? I think it would change the gameplay a lot and for the better. Large zergs may still roam, but at least others can see them coming.

Thief is probably the squishiest class in the game and probably one of the most difficult to play. Far from OP.

Can we get that increased dye drop rate that was accidentally introduced earlier this month? With the bots gone and dye having a rarer chance to drop than ever before the prices are skyrocketing for unidentified dye. I’d really like to have the ability to reasonably customize my character rather than having 1 new colour to use per week.

What’s with the massive increase in the price of dye? I know there was the update that accidentally increased the drop rate, and the prices were lower at the time, but now the prices are higher than ever. Even before that update Abyss was at 6 Gold, black and celestial 2 gold and unidentified were about 2 silver ea. Now abyss is almost at 13 Gold, celestial and black are at 6 Gold and unidentified are at 9 silver. Did they decrease drop rates lower than ever before?

Minion AI. Most other “Bugs” seem to just be complaints about the way a Necro works, but this is one thing that needs to be fixed. Minions don’t attack when they’re supposed to. I’ve gone through multiple fights with my flesh golem, or shadow minion just standing there doing nothing.

Sometimes minions and pets will make an extremely loud clomping noise when summoned. Usually the sound goes away after they’re unsummoned and brought back, but it’s super annoying when it does happen with another player’s pets and there’s not much you can do about it.

The icons for upscale, downscaling and map completion (perhaps more) that appear above players don’t render properly when using stereoscopic 3D. A double image is produced.

Edit: Also somewhat related is that when alt-tabbing or bringing up an overlay the windows cursor will appear and stay in game. Since it doesn’t have any depth to it while the in game cursor does it can be very annoying.

Game update: Added 5 more sound effects to the Necrotic Grasp as originally designed/intended. In addition to a loud build up followed by a wolf howl, new sounds include a bear roar, eagle cry, elephant trumpet, a cow moo, and leopard purr.

Obviously guilds that are sending out blind invites are not guilds that I want to be a part of and no one is selling themselves by spamming me constantly with invites. Is there a way to block them? They’re starting to get to the point where they’re abusive.

I just saw spells flying all over and then every so often a corpse would appear out of thin air.

Is it possible to turn up the draw distance to see other players more than a foot away. Lions Arch is full of people, but I can only see the few people right beside me. It makes Costume Brawl practically unplayable in this game. Or is this something Anet needs to fix?

Seriously. I was expecting this fix to be along side this patch, but minions are still terribly broken. Please just don’t make an update saying “Minion tooltips now updated to reflect their original purpose of sitting there doing nothing”.

I was hoping there would be a method without having to respec just for effectively playing WvW.

Is there any effective way to go from playing a MM in PvE to playing a more suitable build in WvW? It seems that I’m locked into my PvE traits in WvW and the best for minions doesn’t really seem to be all that great for anything else. I currently have 30 death, 20 spite and 20 blood.

The main problem with minions right now is that sometimes they won’t attack. Either they just stand there and literally do nothing for a few seconds until kicking in (by that time your target is half dead from auto-attacks) or they’ll move very slowly to your target (seems to happen like this: they take a couple steps, stop, couple steps, stop and then they move in for the attack, but there’s a massive delay).

I think Rangers have similar problems with their pet and rumor has it that pets will be getting fixed.

This has probably been stated multiple times before, but sometimes minions won’t attack. Either they just stand there and literally do nothing for a few seconds until kicking in (by that time your target is half dead from auto-attacks) or they’ll move very slowly to your target (seems to happen like this: they take a couple steps, stop, couple steps, stop and then they move in for the attack, but there’s a massive delay).

How do I check latency in game? Usually most online games have a ping time in ms displayed, but I don’t see anything anywhere.

Just fought my first dragon, but I didn’t fully understand what the 3 target spots on it were for. Does it matter where I hit it? It didn’t really seem to. Perhaps just variety for melee and ranged attacks?

nvm. Just figured he sends me something of value from the trading post that I in turn sell. Lose a bit in the process, but that seems to be the only thing that works.

This is now inhibiting me from advancing in the game. I gave him pretty much all my money to post that on the trading post and now there’s no way we can find for him to pay me back. :/

Hello. I was wondering what the mailing limit is on gold. I lent a few gold to a friend who was just starting out so that he could post an item on the auction house for 60 gold.

Anyways, now that the item has sold he can only send me 1 gold and whenever he tries to send me more he gets a message about there being a limit to inhibit people who may have hacked accounts. When will he be able to send me more? As it is I’m now flat broke and wasn’t expecting any trouble getting money back from him.

When in a busy town like Lions Arch or WvW I can’t see players that are only a few feet away and even when I get close they are still invisible to me for a few seconds until they suddenly appear visible.
