The Truth About Stealth in WAR

Our current stealth system is actually entirely client-side and offers exactly the same quality of experience to EVERY career in the game. That&#039;s right. EVERYONE will be able to use stealth in exactly the same way.

The down side is that it will place additional hardware requirements into the min specs for the game, but hey, sacrifices must be made. We&#039;ve worked with various notable hardware vendors to make sure things will work smoothly for nearly everyone, but you should still consult your manufacturer&#039;s documentation to make sure you&#039;re fully supported.

The basic way it will work is this:

- Login.
- Create the character of your choosing.
- Load up the game.
- Start running around, when you&#039;re ready to stealth, simply reach over and turn off your monitor.
- Continue playing, enjoying the awesome power of TOTAL INVISIBILITY.

Again, I can&#039;t stress enough the importance of checking the documentation for your particular hardware. MAKE SURE you have a monitor that can be turned off. The power switch may, in some cases, be a button. It may also be on the left or right side of the monitor or (though this is rare) somewhere in-between. We&#039;ve had limited reports of power switches on the BACK or sides of monitors, but have been unable to replicate them in-house.

As a final work around if you simply can&#039;t find or operate the power switch, you can physically unplug the power cable from the monitor. Make sure you have the latest Service Pack installed beforehand.

I hope this clears things up and gets everyone super-excited about stealth!

lol :D

I have to say, not having invisible people running around will be most excellent ;)

[Sanger]

I&#039;ll miss the scouting.

I won&#039;t miss getting stabbed in the back.

NNNNNNOOOOoooooooooo!!

<crys softly>

Please...please give us stealth

[Golom]

Kermie OLD BUDDY!!!* I miss the days .. you and belam out there.

[Sniper-187]

I actually enjoyed stealth ifonly form the standpoint of gettting places with out too much of a worry.

But I do love the concept of the "everyone stealth" button

[Kermul]

Hey Golom....

And to set the record stright once and for all.... the best thing about stealth was sitting back and watching Mackk get owned over and over.. while listening to him in Vent

I think my blood presure went up a few times as well just out of laughter.....and lets not get into watching Gisli run the whole raid into a tree....Logard ...lol.. another one that was fun to watch as he got ran over while listening to him in vent....

ohhhh.. so many good times but yea.... I miss those days Sunny.... Golom... and all the other old stealthers.

[Golom]

aye... good times!

[Drivally]

As much as I love stealthers, they are just impossible to balance. They bring an element of surprise to the game that can&#039;t be dealth with in so many scenarios. One stealthed archer is no big deal...but a pack of 8 travelling together gets tough. Four hunters and four shadowblades in DAOC is amazingly fun, but so very hard to counter (at least in Thidranki).

And then there is always the night a group of us shadowblades climbed into the Old Frontiers and tried to kill keep lords without breaking down the gates...that was awesome :)

[Mackk]

I love you too Kermit!

Mackks retired sittin on a beach drinkin Corona&#039;s.....

Murckk however is a thorn in the side of Hibbyland and closing in on RR8. ;D
