PC People: How is Wood Elf Stealth Detection? Is it Noticeable?

Have any PC players out there gotten any use out of the new 3 meter stealth detection passive for Wood Elves?
Does it make hunting hidden/cloaked players any easier, and is the effect noticeable?

From my limited testing (I don't have any combat add ons) Bosmer stealth detection doesn't work on cloaked or otherwise invisible enemies. It only works on players crouched in stealth. This appears to be incorrect after more testing.
It also doesn't break a stealthed player out of stealth. The detected player can be seen by the Bosmer but is not otherwise revealed as they would be with say magelight or flare. So mostly useful in a solo situation.
Only tested in Cyro, I don't play BGs outside of midyear mayhem nor do I duel - so that disclaimer as well.Edited by anadandy on March 1, 2019 4:00PM2 -

✭✭✭✭Thanks for the replies. I'm also wondering if Hunter's Eye will stack will Camo Hunter.
Camo Hunter (6 meters) + Hunter's Eye (3 meters) = 9 meter detection when activating Camo Hunter?3 -

Agree. I'm wondering the same thing about Inner Light or Radiant Magelight.#CAREBEARMASTERRACE1 -

It does pop people from stealth. You have to be very on top of them, which is hard with lag, to see them. You will see them through sneak and through invisibility just like when you use a detect pot.0 -

Does this only happen in BGs/with a certain set? I just tested it with 2 Bosmers 1 medium armor 1 light, and you can cloak on top of eachother and not get spotted without Magelight/Hunter. I assumed invis from pots was the same as cloaking?Edited by Arilenya on March 2, 2019 10:53AMAltaïr: You of all people should know the answer; educate them. Teach them right from wrong. It must be knowledge that frees them. Not force.

✭✭There's some interesting info in this thread.

There seems to be a lot of weirdness and inconsistency with stealth detection.

✭✭It's buggier than week old dog poo.Taking stealth away from the Bosmer is like taking magic away from the Altmer, making Nords allergic to mead, or making Orcs pretty.1
