Nightblade - Invisibility

Hello Community!

Invisibility in this game is non-existent, or atleast bugged. I can use my Shadow Cloak, everyone can still attack me. I did not have Death Mark on me, no one near me had a Magelight. Yet everyone was able to attack me. Why? I reactivated my Shadow Cloak around 1 second before it would've run out.

Also, if I kill someone, or simply engage in a small skirmish and then try to run away, I'll stay visible for around 3min while not fighting.

Does anyone have any knowledge about these things? I don't think they're supposed to be and this is really killing the fun in playing a Nightblade.

This is NOT a QQ-Thread. It's just annoying and I want to know exactly what is going on, so I can prevent this in future assassination attempts.

Greetings

    Yup as stated by devs already NB stealth (dark cloak especially) does not remove all dots. Some still retain and get you out of stealth, "soon" to be fixed.

    As for the combat bug, staying like 1-3 minutes long and not being able to get into sneak ..well what can I say. This is the most annoying of them all. You can't even get on your horse... That's what you get when you engage someone..

    One other thing I noticed recently was that swaping weapons from a non-set to a set piece weapon gets you out of sneak (detected) as if you were casting a spell for example. This means that activating a bonus from a set while in sneak gets you detected.

    the cloak is bugged like hell. it has never worked properly. any sort of dot/debuff/whatever rly will instantly break it. however even if nothing of that is applied it sometimes just bugs out.

    That's what it is!? I knew something was up. I recently noticed that I'm suddenly "detected" when swapping weapons but I couldn't remember for sure whether it always worked this way. But, I recently crafted set pieces for the first time and now I have the exact issue you're describing. That's frustrating. I was hoping it was a bug with the display and that I wasn't actually "detected" for like 2 seconds.

    Thanks for the informations. So it's not intended. I hope it gets fixed soon, because getting smashed by 4 VR12 just because I'm not really invisible while sneaking is pretty annoying.

    Shadow Cloak gets deactivated when having a DoT on me? That's nasty. I noticed my Shadow Cloak getting cancelled after a second but I didn't know what it was.

    Anyways, thanks.

    There are also times when invisibility just plain doesn't work. Maybe the players have mage light up and it just doesn't show on my screen. I don't know... but there are plenty of times when I go to sneak past a group of players using invisibility spam and they simply start attacking me without any 'detected' warning on my screen. I've seen my own dot's and others make my stealth useless but there are also times when it just flat out doesn't work.

    that is detect hidden pots. most stupid invention in history of mmos. seriously whoever developes these things needs to get his head checked.

    This is true. About the magelight, sometimes the "wisp" around the player just doesn't appear or not shown to players but you still get the bonuses and the detection radius. This should be fixed for sure.

    Remmeber too.....lots of people use potions to detect you. Very common...so yeah your probably being found easy enough, get hit then your revealed to the whole map again.

    What's the point of invisibility when everyone can see you? That is plain ***. There's no other word for it.
