Weapon Swapping brings you out of stealth now. [Bug?]

    I guess nobody at ZOS or on the PTS ever switched their weapon while stealthed...

    One really starts to wonder if ZOS is unwilling to improve, unable to improve or just taking the ***. I can't really say for sure anymore.

    Croft, when I was on PTS it was 1.51 not 1.52

    Could that be the issue? Rolling out untested patches?
    Been here since Feb 2014 - You'd think I'd be half reasonable at this game by now...

    Possible. Last time they broke Dark Cloak it was because they pushed an untested update to live, skipping the PTS.

    I switched weapons while crouched on the PTS, but did not get taken out of stealth. It must've been a last minute change.
    Unsubbed and no longer playing, but still checking the Alliance War forum for the lulz.

    Calm down lube lord .... no reason to turn this into another NB whine thread. I'm sure they'll fix stealth breaking on weapon swap asap.

    Oh you mean like they fixed shadow cloak months ago? Or did you mean like they fixed stealth months ago? Yeah, I have every confidence this bug will be addressed EXACTLY like the others that have been plaguing NBs since the beginning, meaning they will continually tell us it's being worked on while offering very little in the way of results.
    Or tell us <fill in the blank> is fixed, but now <fill in the blank> works worse than before.

    The last 2 major updates have seen ZOS push changes untested on the pts...

    ..makes you wonder why the *** they, and the poor players paying ZOS to do ZOS' *** job, bother with the pts at all!?

    Thinly veiled customer relations, anyone?

    It was a last minute change. It wasnt happening 1.5.1 pts, and if they havent uploaded 1.5.2 to pts yet you can see for yourself.

    They dont give a damn tho. Imo this is just proving the worthlessness of the pts server. You have to subscribe anyways to test their updates, and they push buggy mess live anyways. Tgey might as well close down pts and put it all live from the get go. We still test it all on live in the long run.

    IMO sheathing a sword and pulling out a bow should break stealth if looking at a paper map does.

    That was fixed a long time ago unless you have observed it happening recently.

    This is a complete disaster. Game breaking bug, there's no other way to put it. I want a hotfix ASAP not a month later.
    Before the bug I would be able to Mark Target on one weapon bar and switch weapons. Now it takes me out of stealth and agros mobs or lets players see my postion for a moment.

    Thank you for the report, @Sypherpkub17_ESO. Checking into this now. Is anyone else also experiencing this? Is it happening everywhere, or only in Cyrodiil?

    Yes it always happens to me every time in PvP. I don't stealth in pve so I'm not sure about that.

    If this ever gets fixed, I would LOVE an explanation as to how this happened.

    It would be nice if we all got some info on how they are breaking things.

    See they change something and break something completely irrelevant... I still want to know how they broke speed on mounts when they didn't even touch mount/speed that patch.

    Please hotfix this ASAP. The nerf to stealth damage is one thing, but not being able to stealth and weapon swap is game breaking.

    They said here that it will be potentially fixed with patch 1.5.3, but I don't know when that is. I'm hoping Monday, but sometimes nothing happens on Mondays.
