Discussion: New Stealth Graphic

Anyone else notice?

Very close to invisible now

Noticed it as soon as I logged on, its rather strange to hardly be able to see you character and im not sure I like it. I like being able to see my tail swinging from side to side and not sure why it would be changed?

I play with my character zoomed out quite a bit to get a broader perspective in the EM. Had to turn on my character name in the UI settings just to make sure I didn't lose my warg. Some of the skins show up better than others....

Was this in Patch notes?

Why are you assuming it's not a bug?

I didnt see any mention in the notes, ive posted in this thread about it http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.p...45#post6168445 im starting to think its a bug.

Good news is that burgs have it too, so if its bug it should be fixed pretty soon.

There is also a Known Issue about LMs temporarily appearing stealthed when using certain skills. Could be related.

yea, its a bug...

Lore-masters have two skills that make them invisible as well lol .

Limited , meaningless updates & full of bugs .

Palantir and Bullroarer unnoticed?

Palantir and Bullroarer unnoticed?

I noticed it very first thing when I played a warg creepside on BR, I believe its turbine giving you "better stealth" so to speak, this "enhanced" stealth was also given to ANY class or race that has a stealth skill. So wai if you ask me. as for the LM random stealth yes thats a bug.

Warg stealth just got a huge buff, it's now so over powered the warg can't even see himself.

it doesn't always appear on the test servers. on BR my warg didn't have this issue at all. Sometimes coding when transferring from test to live gets botched.

Remove all slows

You can disappear from before your enemy's eyes. For a little while, your Stealth is greatly improved. Additionally, you ignore effects that slow you and instead move using your normal run speed. Using this skill will not break Stealt

Meh, this doesn't really bother me that much since my camera is focused on my character, so I know where he is and where he is moving regardless.

I think it also messes with raids, since raid members/leader can no longer SEE the wargs in the raid.....not only that. but when i logged on, it took me 5m to find my warg

Personally I think it looks really good. I mean come on, you're always centered on your guy it's not like he's going to fly away when you aren't looking

Odd.

This has me wondering - if a freep happened to detect you in stealth, they still wouldn't be able to see you.

Same with burgs.

I like the new change in stealth looks, even if it was unintended. It's more realistic (well, as far as it can be, for something stealthed in broad daylight).

That depends on whether they have floating names toggled on or not. Also, some skins make you pretty easy to spot. Using the R11 skin (completely white) I'm visible with every pulse.

While I can see the fun part of this new stealth graphic, it's going to be a huge problem for me.
Lately lag has been too bad for me to actually play my warg so taking screenshots is more or less the only option left for warg-play. Afraid I won't be getting many good screenshots when my entire pack is just a bunch of floating and talking names. Would be nice to actually see them.

I think wargs already have a much better version of this. I believe it's called disappear+sprint.

CD reset = mirrored class?

Improved Warg Disappear can be diferrent too...maybe a heal instead of Slow removal

So did they say if this was a bug ?

Shouldn't have to use 2 escape skills to escape.

Hard to tell how close you are to the target and exactly where you are facing. I like to line up my attacks...

Warg doesn't need a buff. It's sodding easy as it is.

LOL I love it! I look like the freakin predator!

I would kill for some way to remove the 55s+ dots from Freeps on Warg while out of combat. It is so hugely inconvenient waiting for Writ of Fire or something to tier down before you can actually play your class again.
