Getting revealed when hiding.

Where is it happening? There are some mobs that can reveal and certain locations you can get insta-revealed too.
 
Doesn't seem to be anyone one spot that I can tell. I have had it happen in Balrons Nest in T-Keep. I have heard multiple people in Teams Speak complain that while at champs they have hidden and got instant revealed and then yelling who is revealing.

Ohh..

I would suspect that there are thieves there using detect hidden constantly. It's very common for lots of revealing to be going on at Champs for obvious reasons.
 
Yeah I know that there are people detecting hidden, though it always seem to be instantly revealed. When you go to brit bank and hide about 2-5 seconds later you get revealed. Due to the cool down timer on using a skill. That is why I think there is a bug, you hide and boom instantly revealed, and it is not just at champs it is all over the place. I hunt in a various places and it happens everywhere. Not every time but probably about 1 out of every 3 invis casts.

Okay, first of all - rule all this out.

1. Pets changing targets (such as on all guard me or on all stop) can cause you to be revealed.
2. Some MOBs can reveal - primarily paragon or event colored mobs.
3. I'm about 90% sure in town that the guards or NPCs will reveal you. That's the only explanation I can find.
4. If you're running and then real quick throw up an invis - sometimes the server will have lagged and that will count a step after you invised. Therefore, unless you have stealth you will have came out of hiding. Try standing 10000000% still and do it again.


If someone uses detecting hidden or reveal you will receive the message "You have been revealed!".

I get insta-revealed near the WBB even if there's no one on screen, even if I walk in stealthed from 2 screens away. Doesn't matter which way I come from, Docks, Bridge, Crafters Guild, Inn... the second I get within 1 screen of the bank, no NPCs or PCs on screen "you have been revealed".

What gets me even more is I'm GM hiding and GM stealth, you'd think there'd be a less than 100% chance for insta-reveal with stats... but I guess detect hidden and tracking are both setup here to keep whiners from whining.

Half of the NPCs at west brit bank are order guards, which auto-reveal. Just stay about ten tiles away from them and you'll be fine. You can tell which ones they are because they wear platemail.
