Assassin/Brigand stealth stacking bug

Aeri · 04-19-2006, 03:25 AM

Sorry if this is a repost, but I searched through the forums and couldn't find a similar thread. I have a 26 Assassin on a pvp server and I've noticed that there's a stacking bug when a brigand casts their group stealth while I have my self stealth up. If I try to use a stealth attack, I get the message saying I must be in stealth to use this attack. The only way out of it seems to be to break stealth using a standard attack, which of course ruins any chance of a surprise stealth attack. Canceling the brigands stealth on me doesn't seem to fix the problem. Thanks. Drayvor. 26 Assassin.

Yea this bug has been here forever...just don't cast your invis if you know the brigand is casting his..and if so just stay close by him so the invis doesn't break. All i know to do if I was doing PvP, and have you ever fought a guy named Binksprotector yet? My PvP guy on Naggy server, 24monk ftl!

Unfortunately nagafen was locked due to population when I created Drayvor so I had to go to Vox. If this bug has been around forever, has there been no word from the devs on it? I tend to lead my pvp groups so it's not uncommon for me to get ahead of the brig in the group, so I need to be able to self stealth. It seems like it would be a fairly easy thing to fix, just stop them from stacking. If I have my stealth up, the brig stealth wont stick when cast on me.

This stealth-stack bug has been around for as long as I've been playing the game (April of LAST year)... and also applies to Swashbuckler group stealth.

I'm not certain why it's so hard to program something more or less along the lines of "If Assassin stealth still effective, then allow Stealth attacks" into the code.

(Yes, I realize it would take far more lines / specific coding than that, but it's more or less what it comes down to.)

At any rate, this bug's been around far too long =/
