Rogue stealth constantly failing

a lot of ppl said that resetting their CVARs fixed this for them. shouldnt have to do that. blizz should figure it out on their end.

I noticed that entering a quest location, Heltor Shelltor in the plains for this instance, will knock my druid out of stealth every time and will have to restealth once im in the quest area.

This ā€œnewā€ bug has been on-going for over a week now. Blizzard know, they do not care.

I will point out that I even managed to get a GM to admit that this is a ā€œknown issueā€ but would not comment further to if it was ever going to be addressed.

Not even an hour laterā€¦ I come across this little gemā€¦

Iā€™m not even trying at this point, Iā€™m just trying to play my game ffsā€¦

Yeah for stealthies, wpvp shouldnā€™t even be thought about because of how often stealth breaks and you go into combat when literally nothing hit you. Itā€™s bad in bags too but wpvp itā€™s not even worth it unless you donā€™t move from your allies in the slightest so they can cover you when it breaks over and over.

This stealth bug is like this since Cata if I remember correctly, suddenly youā€™re walking and you notice ppl are targeting you and you wonder what tf is going on.
This bug hasnā€™t been solved for more than a decade now, and I wouldnā€™t expect them to fix it now, they donā€™t give a sheet about it, plenty of bugs out there, and itā€™ll only get worce with time.

I just want to say that this is not a Rogue stealth only issue, it also happens on my Feral Druid with the same frequency.

So i thought you were all nuts.
But the last couple of weeks iā€™ve been doing wpvp, and its just plain silly how often you get popped out of stealth in wpvp.
Not a single player in range, just stealthed on a rock watching the festivities, and i get popped out of stealth.
Doesnt happen to me in BGs, jut wpvp.
The last expac i did wpvp in was BfA, i dont recall this happening in BfA.
this sucks.

It will and likely has. You just need to pay attention. You can he stealthy watching the fight over 200 yards away and youā€™ll randomly come out of stealth. Infuriating

Thereā€™s several places that it decides ā€œyou cannot stealth hereā€ sometimes itā€™s during hunts, always during elemental storms, when it rains, entering quest zones sometimes.

At the rate their going, their going to take Bethesdaā€™s Motto of ā€œItā€™s not a bug, itā€™s a feature.ā€ away from them and give it to rogues as a medal.

I was watching the AWC and some streamer videos the other day, now I canā€™t be certain it was in the AWC but I remember seeing a rogue de stealth near a Druid on Tigers Peak.

The Druid recognised it was a bug de stealth and allowed him to re stealth. Itā€™s quite possible Iā€™m miss remembering but I believe their was commentary on it happening for a split second as well.

good post my friend. the summer of rage was very needed.
Fly safe o/

SS vs TM; Sneaking my way to horde base, iā€™m on the edge of the map, no one in sight. stealth dropped 3 times in a row.
so yeah, it probably has happened before, but this was the 1st time i noticed it in a BG.

I saw they fixed stealth dropping in a recent MMO-Champion post but it had to do with some item i think and i dont believe it was a fix for what weā€™re mostly experiencing. So far i havent really noticed it happening in arenas but that might be because i usually only stealth a very short time unless i need to hide somewhere for a bit.

Druid Natureā€™s Vigil brings us out even if youā€™re not in combat (found that in wsg)

Ghosts crap from shadow priest follows you around (been a thing forever) after stealth / vanish and breaks you out

Some nonsense from paladin with holy shocks (no debuffs on you like glimmer) just knocks you out if youā€™re within 30 ish yards

Warlock demons and hunter pets appear to have increased stealth detection and chase you after vanishing now too (they dont lose sight of you)

Affliction warlock can knock you out with malific rapture (tested this many times on people I was tailing down in silvershard mines)

Also found a lot of magic will not be removed on Cloak such as Dk diseases and warlock dots and often gets reapplied while cloak is up

Figured Id pass along this weeks notes to fellow brothers and sisters of the blade

Lots of ā€œbugsā€ that seem intentional these says.

This happens on my feral in the wpvp areas constantly. No other place do I really notice it. I can stand off by myself not moving, and have it happen 5 times while out there. Some days it doesnā€™t happen at all. Definitely a bug of some sort best I can tellā€¦

That one is a crazy one. The second video. I noticed that too and just assumed maybe it was intentional. Blizzard punishing us for some reason. :stuck_out_tongue:
