View Full Version : I would sacrifice the entire EoF AA page for one AA line that deepened my stealth
<DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In the original EQ2 world, 90% of the content you can smuggle your party past. I loved using my utility to get my team where they need to go without wasting time.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now it seems from DoF onward, stealth is nerfed and everything sees you.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I was SO deeply hoping for an AA that deepened our stealth layer so that less see through mobs could see you.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Bah, an AA that hastens your invis casting by 0.2 seconds. Whoopee.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anybody else Smuggle lovers?</DIV>

I love stealth, it helps me get around the world safer. I also love the chagnes, especially in KoS, now it takes not just stealth but skill and zone knowledge, much like stealth in EQ1. The real measure of a stealther wasn't the mobs he/she could get past by just clicking an ability, it was the zones they could get through that had a large number of see invis mobs.Granted it has obfuscated the value of smuggle a bit, as I never expect joe schmoe tank to have any idea how to use aggro radius's and zone knowledge to avoid detection. That said, I still use smuggle quite frequently, it's still valuable, it just doesn't allow me to ignore all content like it used to. I'm okay with this, not everything should be a free ride.Besides, I'm a swashbuckler, not some "strike from shadows" assasin. Being sneaky is a trick I have, but not something that defines me <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

<P>I think it's [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] when there are zones when ALL KINDS OF MOBS AT EVERY SPAWN POINT see invis.</P> <P> </P> <P>I do, however, like it when they put in a few see-stealth points, and roaming see-stealthers you can sneak by with skill. That's what I like about Kaladim. Not a lot of see stealthers, but there are a few roamers who will train you to hell, but with skill you can sneak by them. That's how I got to the Cathedral in the back without fighting - used skill to sneak past roamers.</P> <P> </P> <P>Wish more zones were like this.</P>

Of course, there is a way into the cathedral without passing any roamer see/invis types whatsoever... it's just a rather long... and backwards way.. The direct route, is definately more challenging <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

<P>I haven't had a lot of difficult getting around the DOF or EOF zones while stealthed. KOS zones are another issue, but even there I've managed to do a bit of exploring without getting into trouble. Overall, I think Stealth works fine.</P> <P>What really kinda irks me, though, is the way SOE nerfed the range at which you can collect shinies <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P>
