    Yep. I can confirm that what the OP says is true. Fought a Templar last night who could target me even through cloak with ranged attacks.

    AoE should work like they work now on hidden people.

    But it should. Like in World of Warcraft where vanish makes you invulnerable for that 3 seconds.

    Once again, we have NO Damage Shields, we have NO direct heals. We only have the Cloak to rely on. I don't see an issue to be invulnerable during that time.
    If its not making you invulnerable it should be MUCH cheaper and/or last a lot longer.

    I think I'm going to have to do the same, this is frankly just ridiculous. To keep allowing things like this into live is just ridiculous.

    It's infuriating when you just want to finish work and play a game or two.

    So that's it, when I get to log in and check for myself, if it's as bad as reported I'm taking my money away.

    It's very tempting. I hear AA pvp is kind of good, too.

    Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention and helping us narrow down the issue, Alien. We've confirmed that this is indeed a bug. Our combat and abilities team is already working on getting a fix.

    So basically no matter how many times it is patched there will never be an effective cloak for NB and we should just roll DK? I just don't get how there is always a "bug" for NB cloak for six months then the fix doesn't even fix it. So what wait for 1.5 then after seven months it may or may not work?

    Wandered home for lunch and just tested it, it's totally; like beyond anything before, broken in PVP and PVE.

    PVP being worse of all.

    Utter fail of a patch and frankly, in as much as I can be mad at a game or a game company, I'm mad.

    @ZOS_JessicaFolsom‌

    Yep.. Confirmed don't think about trying to get close to a mob. I'm a VR12 Khajit and I cant even sneak up on a humaniod to feed.

    I was at max range for my Hidden blade (20m) when a VR5 Flame Antronach saw me (I was in front at 20+ game meters) and starting nuking me... I would use Dark Cloak (the Purging variant) and I would pop out of stealth faster then I went into stealth. After I killed it with Hidden Blade I noticed that I was on fire (fire affect) and I my Cloak wouldn't purge it, another fail feature.

    So lets lay out the stupid ZOS has done here:

    1) Break the ONLY thing that made being a NB bearable. Stacking speed sets which ZOS has stated was INTENTIONAL.
    2) Rebreak and NOT fix Cloak, that's a good one guys rebreak something in NEW and exciting ways! Brilliant!
    3) Break stealth completely and dork up any kind of detection passives and abilities.

    I'm not paying for this. ArcheAge is out tomorrow and its free. I think I'll be moving on and letting my sub die, if not fixed immediately. That apparently is the ONLY way ZOS will get the hint.

    Now queue the I'm QQ and suck it up posts.....

    But honestly ZoS has a great game but they don't listen to players, the only way they will listen is to force them to listen.

    Man I had alot of fun playing this game, but it is completely unplayable now.

    So much unfun and fail.

    @rook75‌

    Can I have your stuff?

    Nope

    Its getting burned! Burned Baby BURN!


    The problem is that ZOS acknowledges its broken... yet does NOTHING. If you have an issue as bad as this you get in front of it and you fix it.. or you go the ZOS way and ignore it for almost 24hrs.... I guess they feel it will go away?

    This company makes no sense. After a huge patch you should be all hands on deck, and ready for fires not... this.

    I'm fairly certain the patch notes contained updates about the new campaigns. I noted that they removed the vet only campaign, which I didn't realize they were going to do.

    It is kinda funny. A Skill that is broken since 4-5 month gets finally a fix that brakes it even more.

    Problem is with it being broken and stealth completely changed/broken. The game is completely unplayable now.

    First, Lets not hijack this thread. The notes are somewhat unclear until you read here. It makes you think AoE would be stopped, in full (first hit) but really its only the DoT aspect. This means after being hit you can stealth and move about with out wasting it.

    Second, Invisibility needs work in general. The main reason this is addressed this way is the exploit use by vamp to speed away at high speed under steatlh. That is addressed Elsewyr. That said, NB's are known weak and there should be a distinct difference between the Potion and a Nightblade. For me, a night blade using invis SHOULD be clear of AoE - wake up its less than 3 seconds (yes I know it chains but your using Magicka and skill).

    Invisible for non Nightblades needs some tweaking to be less potent. I.E reduce the time, check if the cooldown is not working or something AND still let any damage break it. Reason for this again is the ability to vanish with dozens of people looking for you. Of course again, part of this may have been the high speed move of Vamp.

    So despite countless bug reports and direct complaints, ZOS doesn't actually have a clue about the problems with cloak.

    Do bug reports get read or is there perhaps a more effective way to report things that we don't know about?

    I'm kind of at a loss as to how to get this one single ability to work properly.
    Basically:

    AoE should work like they work now on hidden people.

    I think the AoE's should do damage, but they shouldn't break the invis. It's not like the invis lasts that long.

    Hey guys, you're not allowed to complain about ZoS continuing to break the nightblade cloak unless you've made a game yourself. Just letting you know the arbiter of the forums said not to complain. K guys? we should adhere to his wishes.
    It's not like we pay for this game. They provide this game out of the goodness of their heart for the betterment of mankind and we should be thankful that's it's 100% free.

    I can't stand all these arm chair programmersgetting all worked up and telling everyone how "easy" it is to change things. They clearly have no idea how a business is run or the chain of command that basically EVERYTHING has to go through before something can be even given a shot at being important enough to put in the top 10 of "needs fixing". Not to mention they must be part of the newest generation of "everything revolves around me" because some how they think their opinions alone warrant mass attention.

    I am feeling much better about my decision to respec my VR12 Nightblade into a craft mule and play DK. Why can't all classes be as fun as DK and Sorc?

    ESO is now down to 3 classes. How low can we go before Devs give up on restricting class abilities and just open up all class abilities on any character?

    They never should have had classes to start with. I have said this since even before beta when I first heard about the inclusion of classes. It's a very lazy approach to balance which they have clearly failed at. Even the single player games abandoned the idea of classes and honestly they never really gave them that much importance anyway. Getting rid of classes and making this game 100% skill based is the best change they could make in my opinion.

    Bugs happen. The job of QA is to stop find these things before they make it live, either they are not doing their jobs or they are not being listened to.

    Either way, ZOS is screwing up. This is yet another game breaking bug that's made it into live.
