Stealth Capture (Alderaan Civil War)

Am I the only one that get's pissed off by the fact anyone with stealth can capture a turret on the ACW warzone without being forced out of stealth to do so?

 

Can this please be fixed as it makes it stupidly easy for 1 person to sneak behind and screw the game over while the guard is completely unaware...

There is a bug where Operative group stealth and Marauders/Sentinel camofluage turn you completely invisible. I actually capped a terminal on my Sniper in front of two oponents with and was accused of invis hacks.

 

Not sure if this is what your seeing.

A friend was raging on tumblr over it but I've encountered an issue when a shadow/assassin/etc were just hiding behind it hidden in stealth to capture it and it's extremely annoying and shouldn't even happen as anything you interact with in stealth should cancel it out :s

As far as I know, that bug is only on the user's screen. Everyone else can see you just fine.

 

As for OP, you have to break stealth to cap. Break Stealth>Cap>Restealth is common practice, and when the defender turns around he sees nobody because the capper entered stealth again, then we get threads like this.

 

I won't go out and say that there's no such things as hacks that can turn you invisible, because I'm sure someone will want to argue that to me, but I will go out on a limb and say that it doesn't happen often that the cap is completely unseen, and most of the time when someone says that the capper was invisible, they're just trying to hide their mistake. I have seen caps on hypergates from across the map and when I asked the defender if he was busy ******* he just said that the capper was invisible, even though I saw him all the way from mid.

 

So don't believe everyone when they say that OMG CAPPER INVISIBLE, because it RARELY happens to be true, and I've never seen an invisible capper so far, even though I spend quite a lot of time guarding(operative dps. guarding is one of the few things I'm good for).

For reference, a video I took a long long time ago.

I did test it out in warzones, and I was only invisible on my own screen.

I believe this is a bug not a hack. (Hopefully..)

 

I have had my characters become invisible after coming out of stealth and they will stay like that the entire game.

 

I honestly thought this was because of my graphics card and I appeared normal to everyone else. But I am not surprised that this bug exists in this game. This game has a lot of weird graphics bugs and is even worse to someone who has a low end graphics card

L2P. (The message you have entered is too short.)

Depending on your connection speed to the server and their connection speed... Any little bit of lag can make it seem like they are capping invisible

Question... Were you looking directly at the node the whole time... I mean not just glancing, but had your character pointing at the point the player was capping

I was accused of an invisi hack on the weekend because I snuck behind a person in void star and capped the door... While my team mate distracted his mate in front of the door... At least this guy stayed near the door and was close to the door ...But my guess is he didn't have his camera distance maxed... So couldn't see behind himself properly

Never face away from the node... Always have it in view or constantly move your camera angle or max the camera distance

I asked individuals if they could see me and they said I was totally invisible, I ran around shoting people and they never attacked me. I thought it was a visual glitch on my end only but it was an honest to goodness invis bug.

 

I experienced it myself with a Sin and Marauder today, and I could not see them after they came out of stealth (neither could my group).

 

It's something else going on and I haven't figured it out yet.

Maybe not all the time, cuz i asked in my group and they confirmed this, but they can see my name tag/healthbar. :p

This.

 

The bug makes your character model invisible. But your nameplate and your castbar are still perfectly visible. And you are still easily targetable.

Even if said person did know how to trigger such bugs with smuggle or force cammo its not like there isn't a GIANT RED OR BLUE BEAM beam originating close to the turret to show you cap is in progress that any AOE attack would interrupt
