Posted this query in another post but it was a bit off topic so thought I shd make it a separate query. With the changes to grouping and healing cyro, Ive started playing my stam nb in pvp a lot more but find the stealth thing a bit janky. Some of the time it seems to work ok - I can hit crouch, my guy will kneel down and go "hidden". However, some of the time I'll just get the half closed eye and "detected". Other times, he'll crouch but immediately stand back up. And at points, he won't even crouch at all. Hitting shadowy disguise may or may not enable him to get into sneak, as will turning off sneak, and turning it back on again. Realise I don't understand enough about what's happening when.

- As I understand it, there's a detection radius which various sets, racial passives and detect pots shrink / expand, quite significantly in some cases. Do these change your status to "detected" (ie you can crouch and enter sneak but are "detected") - or do they stop you entering sneak in the first place, or force you out of it if already in it?

- Does line of sight bear on this - ie moving behind an environmental obstacle will clear it - or is it a straight radius - I think 20m for detect pots.

- Does "detected" mean that just the other player sees you - or can all enemy players see you?

Sorry if these are basic qus - jusst struggling to disentangle what's game design and what's a performance "feature"

cheers
