I too believe hide needs to be revamped. I am currently playing a rogue and doing the Act 1 solo. I have not died once or had any issues with any conflicts. I enter combat in hide, snipe enemy with bow (with advantage) and then hide again. rinse and repeat. The game shouldn't allow me to cheese through things like this I feel. But then I wonder if I am cheesing things, should a rogue be able to go into hide after hitting and enemy? looks like it is a bonus action for rogue's, but seems too easy. Maybe AI should have enemies roam around instead of just staying put when they can't find a target. Their cone would then change and maybe then detect me.
This is really baffling. Two years in early access and they still haven't fixed such a core mechanic. One that's so obviously broken. It's almost like they think it's fun and working as intended.
