INFERNAL GUARDIAN DETECTS CLOAKED PLAYERS - PLEASE FIX

Hexys · November 2016

As the title says, IN CAPITALS, can we get a fix for this ASAP? It is ruining many gameplay moments for PvP players that are playing the nightblade class.

The undaunted set Infernal Guardian is made so it activates in combat, on the furthest away target, shooting 3 mortars towards this player. This mortar is activating on players currently in stealth/hidden and revealing them making the ability cloak almost useless.

This problem was noted during the PTS and reported, we are a month into the live patch of One Tamriel. It's disguisting how issues like this are ignored, but maybe they aren't and you are working on a fix, please let us know because this issue is horrible. Give us PvP nightblades an answer!

This must get fixed. Using cloak feels like rolling a dice.

As if cloak/stealth doesn't have enough counters...

@ZOS_GinaBruno plx.

FriedEggSandwich · November 2016

Agree. It's disgusting to see sorcs spamming ward to abuse this. It doesn't even have to make contact, it's the red circle that brings people out of stealth. Couldn't be more broke.

silky_soft · November 2016

Yea someone posted it in my thread with all the other junk that makes stealth broke.

They don't seem to care atm. Mainly focused on bring out crates before xmas as well as housing dlc.

wtf is even the point of the PTS if they don't fix major issues.

Not everybody is on PTS

Not everybody on PTS uses that to report bugs

Gothren · November 2016

add this to the very bottom of the list of changes to proc sets. chain combos of stam proc sets are more cancerous.

Hashtag_ · November 2016

Not to mention it is also going through walls and is not affected by LoS

ZOS PLS FIX CLOAK ASAP!!!

Bug confirmed. Doubt it will be repaired. Cloak has been broken for years, and the only "repair" it ever got was a nerf.

Thelon · November 2016

Smiff made the same thread and it got ignored. If ZOS can stonewall the most hated NB on PC-NA, what chance do you (or any of us) have?

Loicozor · November 2016

Don't fix it, just change the feature:

Insta burn all sneaky boy/raid/zerg when u cast shield

Better

WillhelmBlack · November 2016

I don't know if it's been said yet but it also goes through walls, even keeps.

Drummerx04 · November 2016

The specific conditions for the set bringing people out of stealth are unclear to me. I had my AD friend (I'm DC) dark 10 feet away and Infernal Guardian didn't target him. Even after we damaged each other and got into combat, and I spammed for IG the instant he was no longer visible. So it seems that if the battlefield is quiet, dark players are essentially safe.

But during combat IG will relentlessly pursue NB in cloak or reveal otherwise hidden foes. I'm sure I will continue to find it hilarious when the really good NB gankers freak out and scramble off into the distance to undoubtedly return 10 seconds later to repeat the process once they are again hidden.
I'm torn on whether I think this is unfair or not since that same NB was probably planning to hit me with viper+velidreth from stealth. I say WELCOME TO GETTING SCREWED OVER BY A PROC SET MF.

As far as targeting enemies with a LoS block between the caster and target, I sort of like this one as it gives something to throw at the sometimes 2 raids of enemy players that sit on the roof of keeps and fire down at you. Realistically, it rarely kills anyone and if you can't dodge it by taking 3 steps to the left you probably deserve to die.

mook-eb16_ESO · November 2016

its not the damage its the being destealthed and then you free to cast what every you like, at least stam has dodge roll. tbh its the equivalent of not having any shields as a sorc. I wouldn't put this set on my sorc because it's so broken.

Hexys · December 2016

Still no word about a fix, ZENIMAX WHAT THE **** ARE YOU DOING?????????????

Izaki · December 2016

That moment when you stealth up to go gank some sorc who's spamming hard cast frags at your mate and some other sorc decides to use his shield at that exact moment. I mean I killed the first sorc, but then as soon as I disappeared after the kill, I get some bloody fireballs coming at me and that eye in the middle of the screen opens up wide aaaaaand.... I get 4 different people on my recap. Thx Infernal nice meetin' ya.

@Thelon has a point. Its a long and hard struggle

Alucardo · December 2016

When you tell ZOS there's a problem with a set

Seriously, I'm pretty disgusted they haven't even acknowledged it yet. I'm fairly certain detecting stealthed/cloaked players and GOING THROUGH WALLS was not intended.

Anazasi · December 2016

I suppose this is pretty bad but the worst is passing through enclosed structures I can see it lobbing over a wall on ontop of a keep or even inside a keep because the roof in most places in open. But come on there has to be some limits to this drone type ICBM.

ZOS_GinaBruno · December 2016

We have a fix for this issue coming in the next update. Thanks, all.

Dedimos · December 2016

Finally, its really annoying.

So in february? LOL

GreenSoup2HoT · December 2016

Would be nice if we got confirmation that ZOS has noticed and a fix was in the works. Getting told a fix is coming next patch is fine but i would rather have known 2 weeks ago that your working on it.

Thelon · December 2016

A PvP issue is not important enough for a hotfix / incremental patch. Surprise, surprise

Update as in 2+ months from now? Or a patch update? And is it just fixing the cloak issue, or also the LOS issues with this set?

JamieAubrey · December 2016

As someone who used this against a NB I agree this needs fixed especially if you are inside a keep and someone stands at the door spamming it
