We're acting out of sheer frustration, but, thank you.
Please test the final patches on PTS first so that we don't get issues like this on stable. It might decrease the patch cadence but you really can't have stuff like this making its way to stable.4103 -

What about the weapon swapping bug? What about NB Shadowy Disguise not reflecting the increase crit? Can we have some acknowledgement on those please?

Um why? Vampires don't get anything special against werewolves.
Well WW is useless and seems zos doesnt want to do anything, i tought with it, WW would have a role.
And since in PvP Vamps have a HUUUUUGE advantage over nonvamps, and seems zos doesnt want to do against it, thats the another point to give that to WW.
Normal player has slight buff against vamps, vamps has HUGE advantage over normal player, ww has disadvantage only. so that would be something.
Vamps would feel what nonvamps. its like "ahh swarm again" and lot more like this. Silvershards are a big joke....so....

Vamps got so many advantage, that its a musthave for the best builds. Fire dmg weakness is nothing, health regen penalty is nothing eighter. All will die from oilpots without heals and negative removing skills etc. + you get dmg resistance from passive what is BS too. you get the best ultis, best heal etc...
And yes. i have vampire in pvp and its great, easier to pvp with, thats why its a vamp. My other char is werewolf, hoping it gets advantage someday, but even if it were normal human char, its much more harder to play without vampirism.
IMO vamps and wws should not be in pvp. It should be not some kind of crap vampire game at all. For RP ppl? yes. but players should not get advantage over others just because vampirism.
Why only 90% are vamps in pvp? Because not all want to play cheese.
Counters? Crap counters, silver should proc 25% or more not 5% for a stamina eater crap like it is now. I dont ask for nerf vamps, because vamps will cry river, i ask for useful counter, and it could be WW.2 -

You throw a lot of superlatives out there but fail to actually cite any examples. I don't dispute that the werewolf under performs but it is not essential to play a vampire in PvP. You are most certainly the first person I have seen that has made such a statement. I have no idea where your rage comes from but your idea was terrible. Instead of getting mad that nobody liked it come up with a more reasonable solution.:trollin:2 -

It just seems like you have this mythical idea that vampires somehow are just better at PvP and any newb can play them like a master and you have no hope of countering them without a special skill tree. I grant you that they get some specific advantages in some areas but you are completely ignoring the glaring disadvantages they have because it's inconvenient and doesn't support your point.:trollin:1 -

Buck✭✭✭Not sure if it's been mentioned here yet but the Night Silence set is causing a weapon swapping bug, that locks my second weapon - no matter if I switch back and forth, it's the only one that shows, but will only work on the second hotbar.
I was wearing 7 light armor (5 seducers/2 lamae) and switched to 7 medium armor (5 nights silence/2 lamae) and the weapon swap gets all bugged out. I cannot unequip either weapon but I can switch armor back (to the light set) and then I get the first weapon slot hot bar/weapon back.2 -
CedaSoul Shriventhe quest "A Light Fantastic" is still bugged, when you get to the part to adjust the prisms, there is no light beam to adjust, blocked quest but no mention on main post.... any info?0

Invisibility is a stealth-like mechanic that isn't supposed to break based on any passive stealth detection, only by active means (magelight). If it was, then anyone would be able to uncover someone who was invisible (either the batswarm morph or nightblade invis ability) simply by being right on top of them without magelight. This isn't the case, and is the appeal of invisibility, that it's a more potent version of stealth that isn't broken by the same mechanic.
Stealth detection potions are meant to simply increase the radius of your passive stealth detection bubble, the bubble that without the potion doesn't affect invisibility. With the potion, invisibility is seemingly erroneously included, since it isn't specified. And since this isn't the sole counter to invisibility, since mage light exists and is abundant, I see no reason for this to persist. If it is to persist, let us know.Edited by Thejollygreenone on August 13, 2014 2:10AM1 -

Now I understand, Thank you.
I agree, stealth detection potions should have no effect regarding an "invisible" player.Edited by SirJesto on August 13, 2014 2:19AM3 -

This isn't the case, and is the appeal of invisibility, that it's a more potent version of stealth that isn't broken by the same mechanic.
Stealth detection potions are meant to simply increase the radius of your passive stealth detection bubble, the bubble that without the potion doesn't affect invisibility. With the potion, invisibility is seemingly erroneously included, since it isn't specified. And since this isn't the sole counter to invisibility, since mage light exists and is abundant, I see no reason for this to persist. If it is to persist, let us know.
Now I understand, Thank you.
I agree, stealth detection potions should have no effect regarding an "invisible" player.
Indeed, @ZOS_GinaBruno acknowledged a post I made about this a few pages ago in this thread, and said they would update us as soon as they got a grasp on the issue. Something along those lines. I merely bring this up again in fear the request will be lost in the void of other requests.
So all I'm asking for, at the very least, is an addition of this issue with the 'investigating' status attached to it. If it is sufficiently investigated and nothing was wrong, take it the addition down, and add in a tooltip change to the game for stealth detection potions reflecting their ability to reveal invisibility. But as long as it's officially been on the thread, I will patiently sit and wait for our lovely dev team to work their magic
(P.S. Sorry to be a nag, Gina, I am simply quite determined to bring this issue to closure, and shed further light to the oddly functioning stealth system. It seems loud and consistent enough pestering is a surefire way to get things fixed around here, so please forgive if I'm beating a dead horse to death, or some such cliche analogy. It's merely a result of my stubborn determination. ^.^)Edited by Thejollygreenone on August 13, 2014 2:53AM2
