Game Mechanics: Pulling while Invisible

[hatelore]

I played a sk on live from 1999 until about the end of pop. I was invis pulling on live from the second i learned how, as was any other sk with a circlet that knew how. This caused a nerf to the new circlets that dropped but not to the mechanics of a pull with the pre nerf circlet. I even remember doing it in pog alot when i pulled it. Not sure on the fd/hide ability though since i didn't know that trick back then.

fd/hide meaning a successful hide meant an aggro clear to any mob that could not see through hide.

Important issue that I think needs some kind of dev response or discussion.

[hatelore]

The notion that a mob would pass on agrro to a nearby mob while you were pulling it (while invis) and none of the other nearby mobs could see invis is flat out wrong. It was not that way on live during classic,kunark or velious.

Pending update:
- Added the distinction between direct and indirect hate.
- Mobs with indirect hate (obtained by another mob yelling for help) on a target cannot yell for help to transfer hate for their target to another NPC.
- The only way to prevent the transfer of direct hate to another nearby NPC is to be sneaking in the proper area of that NPC's visibility. Invis/IVU/Hide etc. no longer have any impact on whether direct aggro will be transferred.
