Could mobs see through hide/sneak in classic?

Mojorisin · #1 07-16-2011, 01:09 AM

On live I had a lvl 55 rogue and have no memories of mobs ever seeing through my hide/sneak. I remember sneaking down to Lower Guk to get my DE mask which I am currently unable to do without being attacked. I tried to perform a CR in Dalnir only to have the goo's see through hide/sneak as well. Is this a p99 issue or is my memory fuzzy?

make sure your hide works before you use it. i snuck down to the assassin a few days ago no problem. i sneak around guk all the time.

Any mob that can see invis can see through hide. As far as I know, nothing can see through sneak so it can still be possible to get past mobs as long as you dont enter their field of vision.

Editing to add that hide/sneak works on most undead too, but some may still see you. I haven't leveled up my rogue on P99 yet but I played a rogue main throughout my EQ career and I'm assuming they were able to accurately recapture this.

At one time hide/sneak was "invis" to everything even see invis. Because it wasn't invisible it was "hiding and sneaking". Blizzard either changed it or added mobs with an exception.

Yeah for whatever reason I had the wrong company on my mind when I typed that.

Yes, mobs certainly could see through hide/sneak in classic.
