A pro player can easily kill 5+ enemies during a 500-1 fight. Stealth is just like bolt escape in that regard: a lazy way to avoid having to learn proper tactics and getting better.

-Faster (much faster) stealth for NB

all of these are option to be considered before breaking the game for everyone.
having stealth on every class is kinda breaking the game already. tho ur right, it could be fixed without removing stealth for every class.
step 1: give NB (much) increased movement speed while in sneak. comparable with the vampire passive maybe. also make vampire passive stack on top of that, effectively making sneak for NB faster than walking but not faster than sprinting.
ppl can still run away from a NB then but it will cost them stamina, just like sneaking costs stamina for the NB.
step 2: reduce movement speed in sneak on other classes massively (atleast by 50% of the current base movement speed)
step 3: NB should be able to auto detect any non-NB in a lets say 10m radius. other classes should have to get atleast in a 3m radius to detect each other. other classes should not be able to detect NB at all unless they hit them with an aoe or stand directly on them for atleast 3 secs.
step 4: other classes should drain stamina 2-3 times faster than NB while in sneak regardless of armor.
step 5: NB should be able to enter stealth 2-3 times faster than other classes.
this will give NB a significant edge while sneaking without taking it away from other classes. u can still hide and sit still with every class to ambush a group etc. u just cant rly move alot in sneak anymore and a NB will see you long before u even have a chance of seeing him. this will also give NB´s a real role in AvA cos u can actually use them as scouts properly.

Please guys remember, classes mean next to nothing when it comes to play style!!
Nightblades need nothing! They are fine as it is.
By trying to enhance them you would be taking away from those who do not want to be a NB and would like to be a sneaking character.

@ step 1: With CW and DS passive you already run equal if not slightly faster than sprinting speed. This suggestion would practically double movement speed making us faster than a horse. This will never happen.
I was thinking more along the lines of Improved Sneak passive giving 1% (first level) to sneak speed for each piece.
@ step 2: No just no, slowing down pvp even more is not the answer.
@ step 3: I was thinking something similar.
Master assassin passive could gives a 3% increase to your detection area per piece, which in conjunction with improved sneak would give NB ownership in the sneaking department. Also NB should be undetectable when directly behind and enemy at 1m.
@ step 4: Sneaking on other classes is fine the way it is. This thread should be renamed "Zeni please buff Nightblade sneaking"
Take the stamina portion of Unholy Knowledge from sorc and give it to NB Athletics. Srsly ZO why does Sorc need this?
@ step 5: Not being able to move around while sneaking is another game breaker. This is not WoW.
Dark Veil could simply increase stealth speed by 8% per point in the passive. This combined with Dark cloak negating threat. would allow NB to go into sneak instantly, finally giving us a true escape maneuver.
Yes, show NB's some love but they don't need to be pvp gods.
I also had an idea to increase group synergy in pvp by allowing group members to also detect anyone detected by the partied NB. NB's could start acting as scouts, shadowing zergs for the group. The NB would need to get close enough to detect individual members of the zerg while not getting detected themselves. This would become a new art form that only skilled players could achieve since it would require maintaining close proximity (within 10m) of an active stealth zerg.

Yes, indeed it is. The sneak function is paramount to not only ESO but TES in general. To remove it would be offensive.
I caught 2 players last night running up behind me and instead of just keep running for me, they both go into sneak... cmon it's already 2v1 and you go into sneak?
It's kill or be killed, not some honorary contest!
Pathetic, remove this sneak crap and save it for classes deserving of it, like nightblades.

@1: I don't need to reread anything, you were very clear..
"give NB (much) increased movement speed while in sneak. comparable with the vampire passive maybe. also make vampire passive stack on top of that"
So your saying that NB should be able to move at normal speed while stealthed and you want this to stack with DS. If you actually new what you were talking about, you would see that these are both the same thing and if they were to stack it would effectively double the normal movement speed for NB. Add concealed weapons to this as well as the shadow dancer set which you now have stacking with itself and NB's would become the flash, literally.
@2: I beg to differ since stealth for all classes is a specific design feature of this particular game and its based on previous ES releases to maintain authenticity.
Once they start to implement pickpocketing and theft you will realize it is WAI.
@3: Again, not WoW.
@4: herm...This is not your game. If you don't like it go play something else. What happened to play the way you want? Nightblades can tank and heal effectively. Why can other classes stealth effectively? Ikr, logic!
@5: Exactly, SC would be equal (more or less, probably less ) to BE if modified the way I described in conjunction with the reduced stealth activation time I infact did purpose for dark veil passive. Stacking this with DS would also allow NB vamps to instantly stealth at night.
1) i said comparable to the vampire passive. i also said that the stacked value should put u somewhere between run and sprint speed. dno how much clearer i can make it rly. maybe i should draw a picture?
2) i couldnt care less if its specific game design or based on some crappy single player ES game no1 who is serious about gaming gives a *** about. its horrible design and needs to be changed. period. it doesnt matter the slightest bit how it was in previous ES games. its an mmo now and all that matters in an mmo is gameplay in pvp and in that aspect its horrible. if u cant see why 100 ppl zergs beeing able to hide and move around in stealth is awful then im afraid no amount of logic or reason can help you.
3) again, dont mention that horrible crap game. use a game that is worthy of beeing taken as a reference atleast. not the worst game in history of mankind.
4) see 2)
5) no it would not be equal. u can catch a BE sorc if u know how to. making SD clear all agro and grant u instant stealth is a 100% escape tool that cant be countered. u could literally just stealth whenever *** hits the fan and get away 100% of the time unless ur some zombie who runs head first into an aoe.

I've never seen an mmo that allows people to perm sneak, let alone every class in the game. Cyrodiil pvp would be much more engaging if sneaking was just removed all together and reserved only for nightblades... given the fact that they are "assassin" type characters.

I'm a DK so I'm not being biased towards nightblades if that is what you think.

The more you post the less you make sense, just stop. Please do yourself a favor and look up the meaning of the word comparable.
So you want ZO to change vampire as well as removing all classes stealth ability to fit your limited view of what NB and by extension this game should be, get real.
Yes, yes we all know you don't care about anything other than your own ignorant view. That is wholely apparent every time you make a post. Well maybe you should care about why you are here then? If this is such a horribly designed game based on a crappy genre then feel free to go play Wildstar, Im sure it will suit you better.
As for WoW being the worst game in the history of mankind, it has been proven that this in fact is not only false but quite the exact opposite. Once again you completely disregard the rest of the worlds opinion in place of your own just like your doing now. The majority of this thread all agree to disagree with you and the OP.
See 2? what? You still don't care? gotcha
Im really starting to think your just trolling for kicks now, as anyone who actually knows NB will tell you that AOEs, Root/cc will take you out of SC, not to mention mage light. However unlike BE you cant SC your way out of it once your trapped, and you think that would be more overpowered than BE? Get real
