Hi ya'll!

So I want to share an awesome PvP video with you guys, the guy who made it has tons of other videos so be sure to check out his channel - he has some really awesome vids. However the reason why I'm posting this is two-headed:
  1. I think it's awesome and would love it if you check it out
  2. There's video proof what looks like the bug issue that NBs have.

I could have posted this in "Community Creations", but I wanted to put it here because of the bug. Check out from 4:20 on. A lot of NBs have complained that our Shadowy/Dark Cloak isn't working properly and that looks exactly like the problem we've been experiencing.

Of course, his enemies might have popped a Detection pot as he cloaked, so it might not be a bug at all. In that case though, I think the devs should work on something that'll tell us we're being pulled out of stealth because of a detection pot - possibly by just making the "stealth-eye" open which it currently doesn't do.

    If you take a closer look at it, you might notice that the cloak doesn't break until he gets hit by the light attacks (as is supposed to happen).

    Problem isn't his cloak getting broken prematurely, but rather his opponent being able to see him and pop him out of cloak with light attacks.

    Hey what server campaign was this? Another question: what is on your main bar? I just decided to add DW to my bow build so I'm still trying to figure everything out.

    For the Queen; for Elswyr!

    Sorry I probably didn't convey what I meant correctly, but yes the issue here is that he can be seen even when he cloaked. I don't think I said the problem is that the cloak is broken prematurely, but we're on the same page if we're talking about him being seen despite having his cloak on.

    On his main bar he is running 1) Impale 2) surprise attack 3) Ambush 4) Swallow Soul and 5) I think that's Shadowy Cloak? All of which are NB class abilities. Not weapon abilities. Lastly it's not my video, all credits to EagleCMF :smile:

    Not just seen, TARGETABLE. That is the real problem.

    You should NOT be targetable and tab-targeting should fall off of you when cloaked. otherwise, invisible is useless cosmetics that changes you from a character model to four white border markers.

    True, being targetable renders the whole thing useless

    Yep, you don't see too many NPCs going invis during fights, or we'd have noticed this stupidity far earlier. Once you cannot be seen, you can't be targeted or remain targeted, anything less is easy mode.

    Anyone know what sets he's running? Or even if he is wearing light or medium?
