Really really hope its a bug. I cant imagine anyone complained about this. Makes stealthing unnecessarily difficult, especially for less mobile classes like DK and Temp

Was just about to make a thread about this myself when saw this one.
I too would really like to know if this is a bug or an intentional change that they decided did not need to go into the patch notes. It makes stealthy game play way more difficult and I just cannot see a reason for it.
My Khajiit nightblade loves to play a stealthy game, often avoiding fights if he can sneak past. This makes that impossible.
For example, and this happens often...you want to go up some stairs, but there are 3 enemies blocking them. So..you stealth to the side and jump up over the side where it is still low. Avoid the enemies and continue on. I know we all do it. Now with this ridiculous nerf to jumping in stealth we can't do this. I tried this last night many times and I was "what the hell is wrong with me why can't I jump places I have always jumped?" So I spent some time trying to jump onto tiny rocks, over tiny logs.....what the hell! It's like my super agile Khajiit has suddenly caught some nasty illness that prevents him from jumping higher than 20 centimeters.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_RichLambert could we please get some clarification if this is in fact a bug, or an intended change ? And, if intended, what is the reason, and why was it not in the patch notes ?

Thank you @MissBizz

Notice same thing here. While it is annoying I'm glad I'm not alone. I have to think this is a bug as I didn't see anything in patch notes.

No update from ZoS for 5 days on this. If it was a bug you would think they could at least confirm it.
Starting to have a bad feeling that this was intended for some reason. Maybe there's a low wall somewhere in IC that they didn't want people to stealth over...
@ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_GinaBruno can we please get some confirmation if this is in fact a bug, or intended. Thanks.

Tested on 6 different characters in many many zones not been able to jump in stealth like we could before the update. @IKilled007 can you specify where exactly you can jump normally in stealth ?

I was about to make a lengthy and hilarious satire post in the PVP forums about how I'm so glad they finally nerfed jumping (YEAH RIGHT. SO OP). Then I saw this thread. So I didn't make a new one.

I've been rolling around on my NB and haven't had a single full-height jump. In a word this change (if it is a change and not a bug like we're all hoping) is lame. Un-fun. Jumping is...fun. Why in the world would you allow us to hop. I can jump higher IRL. I may as well quit playing ESO to go outside and play.

ZOS, fix bug pl0x. Don't make go run around in nature for a full-height jump. I need this.

So...nothing in today's patch notes...not even an acknowledgement of this issue which basically affects everyone playing the game.
So it leads us to assume that this was an intended change that was purposely left out of 1.7 patch notes, probably to avoid having to explain it and avoid the uproar of all the stealthy players. I am pretty sure if it was a bug there would be some kind of follow up in this thread or the other one that @MissBizz linked above.
I mean..it's a pretty massive sweeping change to a core game play mechanic, that was pushed to live without a word from the devs. Is this another blanket nerf to sidetrack some slight problem somewhere in IC ? Another unreasonable fun-killing nerf that basically destroys a lot of stealth gameplay. It's just such a little thing that I can't believe someone looked at it and thought it needed to be nerfed.
Of course, if you don't play stealthily or crouch much you may not even notice, but to those of us who love the stealthy sneaky kind of game, this is huge!

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_RichLambert

Can we please get an acknowledgement, a confirmation, anything about this change ?

Yeah @bunnytrix since they didn't mention it was meant to be that way, I thought it was a bug.. but maybe not

It's a bug.... specifically with snares. (stealth is also a snare) We're working on a fix.

TY for letting us know.

Oooh. Good to know, thanks. Glad you are looking into snares.

Thanks for the heads up.
