When the cast timer went live it did not break stealth or invis. I know, I tested it thoroughly on Test directly before GU39 and on my live server after GU39.
The changes made to the cast timer to ensure it did not break invis and stealth were made on the Test server prior to it going live. It went live not breaking invis and stealth on items such as L&L books, non-harvestable quest updates and portals.
Why would there be notes in Live Updates (or anyplace else) about invis and stealth breaking if, when the bloody thing went live, it was working on Test and working on the live servers?
It was only AFTER GU40 that the cast timer began breaking invis & stealth. Kunark only obscured the problem, because, as I said, the cast timer did not break invis & stealth on old world object interactivity immediately post-GU39. After GU40, it does. Now it even removes stealth and invis when using the portals in Neriak!
In any case, it seems barely anyone gives a shit about the actual problem, irrespective of the outcry when it was first introduced on Test. It's just another silent nerf to invis and stealth that SOE seem to have gotten away with.
