I don't know if it's more people using detect pots or what but I can't get away from *** lately. Like my stealth or cloak is not even working.

    Mine works pretty well recently even in the IC event where the zone is crawling with NB and others. I think the key is having the wild hunt ring plus at least one swift.
    3 GOs, a Warlord, and bunches of prefects etc-- all classes...I've wasted a lot of time in PVP

    The problem is certain ads, pets and guards can break it and see through it, this is what needs to be fixed, especially sorc amd necro pets will often continue to follow even once cloaked

    Detection/cloak break needs a cooldown like CC.

    Its always been a buggy mess of a skill, can't say it has been worse then normal. Zos just doesn't want to support the gank lifestyle so they never fix it.

    I wrote a poem that I titled, "The ganker's delight."

    As you lay upon the ground, cry not little pawn.
    The pain will pass as quickly as my blade did take you,
    but my delight will last and you will respawn.
    My heart simply cannot contain my joy, when I ply my trade.

    The fault lies with you, your skill was lacking.
    Now your salt is mine forever, can't you hear the laughing?
    Once you were so proud and now you are reduced to this.
    A miserable, loud deuced fool.

    With every tear you drip, with every excuse you let slip.
    All of your insecurities and worries bring a smile to my lip.
    From your despair I have ripped endless glories,
    but our affair is over now. Be afraid for I will return for more.

    I have received many titles, to my allies I am The sniper Emperor and Grand champion hero of the Pact. However these titles mean little to me, it is the ones given to me by my victims that I prefer. To them I am "Xv1er", "trash", "no balls", "zerger", "noob", "cringe", "no skill", "camper", "100% new", "the reason this game is dying", "pathetic", "a sack of piece of [snip]", "mediocre", "absolute inbred", "beyond a virgin", "ganky dork", "fat smelly 40yr old virgin", "little girl", "daddy", "exploiting loser", and every [snipped] word known to man.

    I'm torn on this, I hate being detected but on the flip side sometimes the only way I can stop a NB from destroying our entire siege line is to spam mark on him so we can catch him. Might be too op if detect had a CD.

    I just pop out of stealth constantly for no reason even so that is the buggy part. But lately even when I am comfy in stealth I am having people beeline it for me and attack as if I am not, talking from a distance too that I do not believe is within any detect range.

    There are two problems, which are not very recent.

    1. Cloak being broken by abilities cast on you before you use Cloak

    2. Detection Potions having no audio or visual queue

    This first is relatively new, I'd say this calendar year it became a real issue.

    The second very old. 100% for Detection Potions, I use them on other classes. But Magelight has an orb visual, Camo Hunter has glowing weapons visual. Detection Potions have nothing. You just get repeatedly taken out of cloak with no reason why, and it's hard to distinguish if it's a bug (Point 1), or a genuine reveal.

    I thought they were going to add a visual to detect pots this patch (or previous)... What happened to that?

    I believe it is some what broken. Last night I was cloaked in the middle of Cyrodill with nobody, including my alliance, and cloak wouldn't work for about 3 mins. I'd hit cloak and after 1 sec I wasn't hidden. Kept doing this until I went to a keep and ported to another keep. I'm sure someone will claim I was being trolled but this has happened more frequently since stonethorn released. Game is a giant bug with minimal attempts at fixing. Shame cause it *was* a great game. Becoming more of a meh game nowadays

    Yea man, detect pots and abilities aside, it still feels very unreliable.

    I have moderate success at countering detect pots by running as far as I can for 4 seconds and then using temporal guard to go back to my original position. Should just barely be out of its range and be able to escape. During high lag temporal guard has the tendency to get me stuck in an infinite time loop. I constantly teleport back and forth between the two locations until I die....... Should probably just stick to shade or, you know, just kill the detect pot user that wasted his potion on detection and can no longer use a tri pot. Shoot a toxic barrage at them so they are forced to go on defense instead of chasing you.

    Utilizing the terrain and cloak can be very effective. Terrain is the key. Breaking line of site.

    That goes for any build and class really.

    For a better idea, try doing the Theives Guild daily heist and how terrain will block detection attempts.
