Title: Sneak sugestion
Post by: LagMaster on December 18, 2010, 08:48:42 pm
well, let me do a nice long sugestion, but not too long for others to see

the actual sneak sistem now:
how it shoud work:
this way anyone can Sneak in the citys by hiding after walls or in mines, dispite the sneak skill, and the Sneak power builds can be spoted whyd good resolutions by those that hunt them.

I actually like this, would be very nice, makes sneaking still useful but do not overpower it. but do the mechanics allow this?  Lets friggin hope so...   :-\ 

Support.

Lol this way we would be hiding from other player's isometric view, not from their character's LoS. Hard to say if that's good or not.

Then people would make plugins for the game to show the contours of sneaky characters(like when you want to attack something) or another smart cheat...
Plus, sneak was nerfed enough after last wipe, don't make it even more useless :/

 I like idea that you have to act if you want to roleplay of sneaker, not rely on passive ability. +1

 Developers cannot even eliminate FOCD program and there will exist another one, new, that will give advantage to cheaters group, so sadly, i have to say -1

I want to remind you that FOCD is not working since many months (anti-alt for example) and we can still detect it. Maybe you forgot the big banning also.

What about that there would be lets say 10 levels of transparency. level 10 is completly unvisible, 1 a bit more visible then current transparency when in sneak mode.

level 9 would be like 95% transparency, level 8 maybe 90% and so on. And name would only appear when lets say level 3.

This could probobly create very intresting situations, like few people standing and guarding, and one of them sees something moving but he cant be sure and the hunt starts.  ;)

Well, if there will not exist any chance to cheat via some third party program (like focd,....), there should exist possibility to shoot, burst to hex even if there is not anybody. Because i can think that there is someone and i should have possibility to attack that place preventively.

Afaik targeting is done via engine, not scripts :(

The idea is flawed because to make it work sneaking characters would have to be without outline and without name over head - and then, like avv said, people would simply hide behind walls and scenery and you wouldn't have a chance to see them at all, even if you were 3 hexes away. Besides if info about sneaking character is sent to client, it's just open for hacks. And yes, you can detect cheats, but focd is well known. Try to detect something nobody knows about.

I like the idea of names not appearing so you can at least hide on walls

Maybe a perk that needs 200% sneak or something that would activate such a feature
