Extremely far stealth detection from gaurds in PVP, working as intended?

HeroOfNone

Currently there is a large stealth detection area around enemy objectives in PvP, is this intentional or a bug? I noticed this last night when trying out a 1.5 bow build, where I would come out of stealth if I was around 1k - 2k meters of an objective. This all occurred without NPC aggro and let any defending players see me wide out in the open.

If this is a bug I hope it will be addressed soon, since testing the viability of gank builds relies heavily on keeping in stealth.

If this is an intended nerf to stealth I would recommend toning it down back to losing stealth on gaurd aggro or at least give a much smaller search area (50 meters or so) before losing stealth.

Thank you.

During last weeks ESO live they said "No changes have been made to cyrodiil". This would lead me to believe it's a bug.

Possibly, but the did change the stealth ability graphic and could have tweaked it "without changing Cyrodiil". Made it a lot easier for folks the stealth while having the home field advantage.

There is unquestionably a change in the way stealth works in Cyrodiil on PTS. If in stealth and approaching a keep, outpost, or resource your stealth eye will pop open from a far distance away. Current on live you need to be near a guard in order for the eye to pop.

Is the change intended?

Guards are ridiculous. Please nerf their stealth detection.

Yea, the PTS stealth detection is insane.

I zoned into Cyrodiil, and the guards at the nearest enemy keep saw me.

I then left PvP and went back to Craglorn, and the guards at the nearest enemy keep in Cyrodiil saw me.

I then quit ESO, and checked my email, and the guards at the nearest enemy keep in Cyrodiil saw me.

I then left my office where my PC is, and went to my kitchen to get some food from the fridge, and the guards at the nearest enemy keep in Cyrodiil saw me.

Please fix this.

Just found out there is indeed a bug hiding out in some code...so while there were no direct changes to the guards, we need to make some now to keep their detection the correct distance as it currently is on live and not PTS.

Let me guess - the code for Guards in the Justice system .... am I right?

Seems this justice system is going to mess with a lot of things. People in another thread were reporting how NBs can use cloak to pinch things from barrels easier than other classes. ZoS response: This is being fixed in 1.6.1. So cloak skill being wrecked inbound...

PvPers have been asking devs to look at cloak for months. The moment someone in pve world can pinch some irrelevant crap from a barrel and it gets fixed in the next patch.
