Stealth passive bug since 1.4

Tavore1138

I do not see this in the dev notes so in the hope someone will take note...

Since 1.4 it would seem that passive skills that should reduce stealth detection radius are no longer functioning.

My evidence is simple.

Me - full medium armour passive wearing nightshade set pieces to get the reduction and so should have in the region of 5 less radius of detection compared with...

Wife - sorc with no additional stealth passives or equipment.

In PvE moving together stacked but not grouped the detection eye now opens at the same time and monsters rage at the same time.

Hypothesis is that in messing with stealth speeds these passives were also accidentally broken.

Please can this be looked into?

I asked politely and will do so again - please can this be acknowledged?

Overall this is the first patch that has left me genuinely feeling I cannot be bothered to play anymore, a week ago I had upped to a 6 month sub, if these issues are not fixed I will downgrade to 1 month or quit altogether.

Time and again I have worked around problems with NB, stamina, medium armour and other abilities... accepted cloak will never be useable so use potions, accept I won't be as out and out powerful as other classes so come up with ways to level the playing field in other ways.

But this has stripped my fun away.

I can't use stealth - you broke it.
Can't use Nightshade after all the effort getting a set - you broken detection reduction.
Can't get the Night's Silence speed bonus - you broke it.

No questing to be done - did it all and no more has been released.

Cyrodiil was my lifeline but without stealth & the speed to actually get close to a target the fun just isn't there.

CS still ignoring the bugs.

The words I would like to use to describe their shoddy & offensive attitude would get me banned.

this is not a customer service issue... a customer service issue would have to do with accounts or not being able to play from client crashes or install issues submit your bug via /feedback ingame and also just because zos didnt jump to your post .5 seconds after you made it doesnt mean its being ignored

There are some huge Nightblade related issues ongoing at the moment since patch 1.4, the most noticeable being that none of the passives relating to stealth radius seem to be being applied; there are also issues with Shadow Cloak and Concealed Weapon making Nightblades really hard to play at the moment. Hopefully they'll get fixed quickly!

The response to my ticket on this was a faux RP one saying something about talking to the Mage's Guild - I guess if that is how th devs refer to themselves it explains a lot!

Obviously no admission of the problem or suggestion of when it might be fixed.

Note to CS - faux RP responses can be entertaining in the right context but do not sit well with people trying to report and redolve serious game problems.

You are not the only one who's have stealth passive bugs. It seems like they completely broke NBs or anything they use in the patch. Currently, nothing i use increases stealth speed for me (Concealed Weapon or Night's Silence) and all kinds of enemy abilities are breaking me out of stealth. And now what you post I will have to test on my NB. Currently, my NB is almost unbearable to play.

EDIT: Yes it seems that my stealth radius is also broken.

Hey, everyone. As mentioned in this thread, our teams are actively investigating the issues being reported around stealth. We've also just added this to our Known Issues for Update 4 thread, so keep an eye on there for any updates we make to the status of this issue. Thanks for your reports!

Tag an admin @ZOS_GinaBruno and make sure you /bug it in game. Opening a ticket just gets you CS who probably aren't aware of the bug, any fixes, or much about the specific mechanics involved. Responding GMs or CSRs have limited extra powers in game and generally will only use them to help someone out if they have been authorized to do so for a specific known issue. Obviously, they don't have the power or authorization to alter your stealth radius.

If you're trying to report and resolve serious game problems, you have to /bug it in game and tag an admin here on the forums. I'm not saying that will get it fixed but doing anything else to help you resolve a serious game problem will get you nothing like calling a plumber and expecting the receptionist that answers to help you fix your car over the phone would.

I had /bugged it in the game too - with such a critical issue that was not being acknowledged sometimes you have to shut and wave your arms around in any available place until someone takes note

It seems that has now happened - so... yay!

Thanks @ZOS_AmeliaR
