Attackers still invisible after hitting target.

Ive noticed this happening more often, where players coming out of stealth can hit you, but dont show up for a second or two after you start taking damage. I dont think its a personal ping issue since this happens when i average around 60. Also not sure if its a specific skill that does this but ive noticed it on deadeye and mirage mostly. Lastly, they are not attacking me and then re-stealthing. I take damage from an invisible person, and cant even see a model to click on for around 1-2s.

Six hundredths of a second is NOT a bad ping.It's just the game engine chugging on a busy map

Could it be an issue with THEIR ping? I am not sure of the technical issues with clients, and how if they have a 200+ ms ping, would that lead to them not showing up?

It’s likely just the desync issue that comes with teleport skills. In cases like these, the game won’t recognize where the player is unless they move.

Theres a few things, it can be CPU/GPU Issue, the desync Issue which had fixed implemented previously popping back up, could be opponent ping, but generally it’s an issue with your hardware, this issue happens even with players that aren’t stealth that TP into other skills, like Guardians JI into Sword 3 their model shows from where they started TP they do animation but it is directly on top of you.

If you are having major issues then I would post info to this thread and ask the devs about it... https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/66790/hotfix-for-invisible-player-and-creature-models

Im guessing its probably to do with some type of latency and/or my hardware/graphics settings. ill look at the dev post ty.

Also don't forget to check what dmg you are getting [wep/skill], they could be under the map if you are getting hit out of nowhere. You'll see these kind of things from time to time, people going under the map and you can't hit them as well.

A guildie and I met a deadeye yesterday who could stay stealthed while attacking, staying stealthed even as it did damage (only the shots from its rifle were visible).

same thing. one was in the base and never came out of stealth yet seemed to be able to inflict heavy condition damage. 4k/tick

wonder what mechanic they abuse? and wonder if it will be fixed.

There is actually a few conditions that players can apply from stealth without revealing themselves. Cripple/slow/chill/stun/daze/weakness/vuln/blind/confusion/torment/etc are among the few that will reveal the player. Look at your log, you will probably see something like poison. I will have to log into my thief but i do know the 25% movement speed signet does not reveal. I actually had a gimmick build last year that did this but I wasn't putting enough condi ticks, there was too much condi cleanses to even try so it was more of an annoyance than actually doing anything. What condi was ticking on you?

Ok, went to check on my thief, signet of shadows and only some stolen abilities on de will not reveal, but they would probably stack it with one of the venoms and caltrops.

no condition application does reveal, only direct damage.however most skills that will apply conditions also deal direct damage.

The deadeye's rifle shots were visible and connecting while the deadeye was still stealthed. Every attack (shot) on rifle does direct damage.
