Stealth when Justice goes live

Currently, when we stealth, members of our own alliance can still see us.

I expect once the PvP aspects of the Justice System go live we'll be invisible to player guards.

Will we also be invisible to non-guard players as well?

If we are not invisible to everybody, we'll have non-guard players working in tandem with the player guards giving away our positions via tell or teamspeak or even zone chat, since their non-combatant status will make them untouchable, so the guards can approach and break stealth either with proximity or detect potions.

Don't missunderstand, if our stealth is broken in the normal way by getting too close or when someone pops a detect potion, it would make perfect sense for a 'concerned citizen' to do the equivalent of "Stop thief!". I think it will cause problems if everybody not currently engaged in Justice System PvP can see us crouched.

I'm hoping that stealthed players will be invisible to anybody they aren't grouped with. All the normal rules would apply, get too close in the line of sight and we are revealed.

    I predict the amount of trolling and griefing will be almost limitless with the justice system.

    ^That's my big fear.

    Trolling, griefing, and exploiting galore.

    This is an easy one to fix beforehand.

    Try sneaking into a resource in Cyrodil and take 2 steps towards the flag. How does that stealth work in the pvp justice system?

    It works pretty badly. Let's hope we aren't locked out of stealth, with no notable reason, for 10 minutes, within a mile of town like in Cyrodil.

    My question is if we are in a establishment, like for example a Bank, and we get into a fight with a guard (Since guards will be unkillable) or an enforcer, will we be able to open doors to escape??

    Depends how the guards AI is.

    If its low then nope, we wont be able to escape. If its good then yes, as they will just follow us.

    I feel like as the current system goes, it'll mark you as in combat and take away the option to open doors... I really hope that's not true, but that's what I'm thinking

    It was stated that the NPC guards will be unkillable. You can stun or CC and run away from them, or fight them to your death (or arrest).
