    Did they ever? Just curious, 'cause I could never get them to make a difference.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    They have worked before. I do suggest you get a friend to test it out with to be 100% sure that they are not pulled out of stealth if in range when you use the potion. That would provide Zos with good information.,

    Before the update, yes they worked

    That is what I am saying... they do not register now

    Ps. You normally see the red eye in front of you when it is registered so nothing

    You don't see the eye but you still can see the Nb under stealth.

    Try with a friend to be sure if you really want to.
    Out of this game, tired of horrible performance and a lot of changes.

    They absolutely worked. If i fight a nightblade or expect/identify a ganker they are great.

    Detection pots and tristat pots are staples on all my characters

    Cuz they were " flickering ". Best way I can describe it.

    Both sides of stealth are bugged. Block is bugged. Regen is bugged. Textures are bugged. Porting and using doors causes crashes. Changing chars causes crashes. Stuck in combat still a problem. Game pad UI blown up to awful proportions. FPS down in general.

    Can’t think of one thing made better by the update.

    How do you know they were there if they wont detect? :/

    100% of the time they work with me before harrowstorm. Havent tried since. So im refering to the 'did they ever work' question.

    People here say it is a UI bug

    I hope someone tests it and ZoS fixes it

    It is hard to tell, I asked people in zone and I am sure I used detect pot after nbs cloaking but who knows

    Even my skills are not registered so I wouldnt be surprised if it doesnt work, lags etc

    I havent played more than 15 min let alone playing with my magblade :D

    But might be right, because I saw a bomblade sneaking her way through 10 players yet none of them reacted

    Maybe they were lagging out? But I saw it coming only it seems (no detect pots)

    This isn’t a bug, it was part of the patch notes. If someone uses a detect potion they can hit you with single target abilities now.
    Looking for any guildies I used to play with:
    Havoc Warhammer - Alair
    LoC EQ2 - Mayi and Iskiab
    PRX and Tabula Rasa - Rift - Iskiab
    Or anyone else I used to play games with in guilds I’ve forgotten

    I've seen this "flickering" myself and I'm on console. I thought to myself this fool has no idea I can see them when I shouldnt be able to. Difference is I popped a pot to be sure we secured the kill and it worked as intended.

    They already could, the problem was with gapcloser, leap and cast time abilities, and they only fixed it for gapcloser and leap
    Fixed an issue where using a single target charge, leap, or teleport ability would not remove targets from stealth or invisibility while you had a detection potion active.

    Some people tried to hit me with Snipe and Dizzy with detect pots, and I used some Soul Harvest on people with my own detect pots, and the bug is still there for cast time abilities.

    Oh, you bought the wrong detect potions. The ones that work 100% of the time can be found in the crown store for only 500 crowns each. 100% Cloak is on sale in the crown store now too for only 750 crowns!

    There's also a special on "skip load screen" cards too in the crown store. But two get one free for 1500 crowns! These help alot in PvP. Just buy a bundle and apply when necessary.
