The comments were particularly interesting, it appears that even now there are some people who didn't know Bosmers lost their stealth passive.
They missed the login message about having their skill points refunded?

Oh I know a few people who haven't spend their skill points on their racials yet, and not because they refuse to take Hunter's Eye...This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.4 -

Could we get a lore explanation for why Bosmer no longer have a stealth passive?
The lore seems pretty clear on Bosmer being a "stealthy, thieving" race, so them losing this passive doesn't make a whole lot of sense.Edited by MLGProPlayer on March 18, 2019 9:47PM11 -

@MLGProPlayer I'd rather have the stealth passive back than getting new "lore" that contradicts what we know and love.This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.15 -

It doesn't make sense, but it can make dollars by forcing people who actually like being a successful thief into playing Khajiits.

✭✭✭✭✭Was just looking at Alcast's race guide. This one cracked me up.
"Bosmer racial passives have a strong focus on stealth based gameplay style."
Where is that strong focus now?This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.10 -
tyggerbob✭✭✭✭That's because this is an important issue and we should keep it in @ZOS_GinaBruno and @Gilliamtherogue 's notifications so they understand what this means to us.
Anyone know the @ name for the new loremaster?

✭✭We should be sand in the shoe, not a nail in the head. Just my opinion.Taking stealth away from the Bosmer is like taking magic away from the Altmer, making Nords allergic to mead, or making Orcs pretty.5 -
Night_Wolf2112✭✭✭✭Yes.... sand in the shoe is much more 'stealthy'! A nail in the head is easy to 'detect'7 -

Could anyone tell me, what to do, if guards want to catch me?

Serious answer, jump in deep water so you are swimming. Guards won't swim, in my experience. Also, line of sight is a thing (usually). If you can break line of sight you may be able to hide again.Taking stealth away from the Bosmer is like taking magic away from the Altmer, making Nords allergic to mead, or making Orcs pretty.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Mine was also serious. Since ZOS nerfed the root breaking component of Rapid Maneuvers, roll dodge is your only way to get away. They also nerfed Swift and speed potions, so you are in attack range longer.
Why they are so determined to push people away from Justice play is beyond me.

"Thief" is no longer a valid archetype in ESO. Warriors and Mages need only apply.Mine was also serious. Since ZOS nerfed the root breaking component of Rapid Maneuvers, roll dodge is your only way to get away. They also nerfed Swift and speed potions, so you are in attack range longer.

I have to wonder if the upcoming 'revision' to the legerdemain system is the complete removal of it.

Alucardmike✭✭✭Wow. Never had problems with sneaking.
But there is a difference between 4m or 7m.
And now, I am more running, than sneaking.
I try rolling and swimming. (Am I playing Zelda now? 🤨 )Edited by Alucardmike on March 19, 2019 8:03PMThe bird of Hermes is my name, eating my wings to make me tame.9 -

I doubt it was any of us. We aren't nearly as sneaky enough to pull something like this anymore.This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.9 -

I highly recommend giving us the catmans crit passive.
Thank you 2 -

It's not silly in PVP, probably one of that rare cases when "free" racial passive has direct combat effect.1 -
