What's the deal with invisibility

So - back in the "good old days" invisibility worked this way.

As opposed to sneak you had a timer on it - but on the upside you were walking upright - walking faster - all the speed buffs actually worked so you could use Hyper Speed, etc while invisible and you could Hyperjump.

Then some weird Monolith patch came that screwed it up and it has been this way ever since.

Now basicially invisibility is "Sneak on a timer" - you are bound to the exact same restrictions that sneak gives you - but you are on a timer.

Which is basicially the reason why NOBODY I know uses invisibility thereby making it a completely useless ability.

Are the devs even aware of this? Can we maybe make invisibility somewhat "attractive" again?

Discuss....Comments? Concerns?

Agree with everything said in the original post, and while stuff is getting fixed - Vanish is broken too. 75% of the time it causes invisibility inside of interlock, which is well...worthless.

wish you can stand like the old days, didnt you get to jump with it too?

No, but if you used Invisibility and jumped at some point right as it went through, you'd get to move VERY FAST. There was a bug that allowed you to move at your full speed w/ hyperspeed on and gain the movement bonuses that Invisibility Speed items/buffs gave you. So you'd be hauling *CENSORED* invisible.

I've only ever seen Justero do it and I'm not sure if this was fixed. I also might be getting the story of HOW it was done wrong, so repro might be difficult as it's explained above. He was certainly the fastest invisible man I've seen on my mission team in a long time. Although EAGLEYESD6 was extremely fast outside of Sneak with his Spy hybrid.
