Negative Stealth doesn't work at all.
If you pull up the combat attributes and monitor your Stealth Radius PvE you'll see the same number whether you have Negative Stealth or not.
Well, enemies still see me. Something's alerting them to my presence, and it's not my proximity or my attacking them.

Negative Stealth removes your stealth *to foes* when you're near the escort*. It unfortunately doesn't make the escort see you better.
Think of it like clicking a glowie... it suppresses your Stealth.
*Negative Stealth is a roaming sprite that follows the hostage. It can sometimes lag behind the hostage.

The purpose of Negative Stealth was to solve the problem of people adding stealth Inventions Sets to their passive powers, which couldn't be turned off, making hostage escorts impossible. I don't remember what the solution was, but it wasn't Negative Stealth, not in the long run.

Targeted ambushes say hello.
I wasn't referring to ambushes.
I was referring to the average NPC enemies, standing there and trying to look tough.

Can the Developers please look into how Negative Stealth works?
When they introduced it, they explained that it was to enable Stalkers and other stealth-heavy characters/players the ability to keep their stealth powers on but still escort the NPC objective. The drawback was that it would also allow the enemy NPCs to see the player character and attack him as they normally would.
It worked just fine for a while...
But now, it seems only the non stealth part functions. Now it seems even combat support NPCs can't see you anymore.
I would rather one or the other. If you're going to have the -Stealth power when escorting an NPC, I'd like to still be able to use my Hide/Stealth/Cloak/etc. But if the NPC won't even follow me while I'm stealthed (which this was supposed to enable), then I don't see why I need to be exposed to the enemy like that!
