Leo Schrodingers Cat.2497 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Probably a logical bug, or intended. Think of it like this. A projectile attack is made. When it is in the air, it takes a snapshot of your character's current state. If you lose a power buff after you fire the projectile, the projectile still has that power buff. So in this case, you're still seen to be in stealth. When it hits, it makes a call back to the system to tell the system to apply reveal to you for attacking while in stealth.

By this logic, then shooting a projectile and gaining stealth before the projectile hits should not apply reveal. Although it currently does.

Although it currently does. All I said was it was a logical bug or intended and provided an example of what may cause it. I did not say "this is what is happening."

Sir Vincent III.1286 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 This has existed ever since. If you throw a Bouncing Dagger to target, go in stealth, when it bounces and deal damage, you get revealed. If you shoot using Choking Gas, go in stealth, when it hit the ground and deal damage, you get revealed. This is not going to change anytime soon and most of us just learned to live with it.

I know that they made Backstab revealed you regardless if you're in stealth or not, but I'm not aware that they have applied this to every stealth attacks. I'll test this out myself.
