(BUG?)Help me understand Stealth mechanics...

[Nigel]

Stealth is quite broken atm.
- unstealth on aggro (if that's intended, happy to get the patch where it has been changed?)
- mobs not looking at us before aggro
- aggro seems to happen from a long range, but haven't looked at it in depth

Exactly !

Just from levelling, I don't feel Stealth to be especially broken.

If your target were facing you, it's normal to be detected very easily.

Lol? Stealth breaking on aggro and it's not broken?

So yeah, stealth is broken imo. Although I haven't noticed it to be broken in the way OP reports.

I'm not playing a stealth class myself, so sucks to hear that.. I hope the devs fix it asap.
Oh, and, might be useful info for devs or some people: Those sound just like the bugs that VengeanceWoW had with Stealth mechanics and I played a Rogue there and they were hella' broken there.

Stealth needs to be seriously and quickly fixed.

[Nigel]

From http://www.wowwiki.com/Stealth?oldid=362932 :

In PvE, monsters will normally react when you are close to being detected. Typically, they will look up and either say something or make a noise.

I think that is the main issue with Stealth, on Nostalrius : monsters are detecting you instantly. They should not, if your are positioned at a reasonable distance.

some rogues in general say its not bugged, some crying it is

can u fraps "bugged" stealth and post here?

[balsh]

Biggest issue I've seen so far. This lack of mobs reaction when close to being detected needs to be fixed.

Is it intended that a level 22 Hunter pet is able to see me through a 3-talented Feral Instinct + NE racial? I didn't attack any target, I was stealthed from a distance and I wasn't marked. I was perhaps 15yd away trying to sneak up on my target and the pet aggroed me from quite a distance.

I'm level 25 by the way.

if a pet targets you before you stealth, you're boned. that's blizzlike, and I'll find the video for it if people really can't grasp that's how it worked

I've got no problem with my rogue :s . Stealth works fine

[Youfie]

I agree with everyone saying the mobs SHOULD make a move + noise when they are about to detect you, and if you stand still or step back you should remain undetected.

Otherwise, it seems fine to me.

YES, it sucks during early level, you get detected from a LONG range.

That's how it was, you got to spend point in MoD and don't approach mobs from infront of them. It gets better with levelling.
