A new stealth bug.Follow

#1 Oct 18 2007 at 6:38 AM Rating: Decent
Lately, I'd say for about the last 3 weeks or so, when I'm in an instance and I stealth, I'll come out of it for absolutely no reason at all. Last night in heroic mech it happened to me before we started fighting a group of mobs. Then, when I wanted to sap I used distract. All of the mobs turned around and so I went in, sapped, and then they all started attacking me at once. I used vanish and they were still attacking me. This happened to me twice. I've spoken to a few other rogues on my server and they said it happens to them sometimes(getting out of stealth for no reason and/or being detected when they shouldn't be). Anyone else experiencing this??

Old bug, new location. Call a GM when it happens and report it so they know where it's happening.

Mobs that use a "second aggro target" attack will almost always make you drop stealth when they're pulled. It's a known bug that can't be fixed.

Would be pretty easy to do a fix, actually. Just check to see if the target has 0 threat and is in stealth, if so, ignore that target as being the second aggro target. Depending on how they implemented the second target aggro stuff, it might take as little as 5 lines of code.

Knowing how lazy Blizzard programmers are though (and I do know, I've ripped Starcraft apart many timesover the years), it's probably something that is not so easy to fix. It's probably a continual check, which patching it how I suggested would introduce huge numbers of extra CPU cycles to process, which isn't a good fix at all.

That stealth bug happened to us a few days ago in heroic Mechanar. I have never seen it before (at least I don't remember) so it indeed may be some kind of comeback or new issue.

Yup it always seems to happen in the Tempest Keep instances.
