Age of Conan

I quote from the review:

''For the first 30 levels, I would consider this game a gankers paradise. note: Everyone has stealth ....let me repeat that...EVERYONE HAS STEALTH. Rouges, Warriors, Archers and casters alike. many of the MMO veterans well know the power of choosing your fight, setting up the conditions and having first strike.''

Is this for real? Everyone has stealth? That seems rather lame.

I want some more explanation of someone who played the game personally.

Assassins, barbarians and rangers can steath and walk in stealth..no problem..

Other classes can stealth but if they walk the lose stamina with time...

someone correct me if im wrong..

Note: stamina has nothing to do with health in aoc...stamina in this game is like rage/energy..alows you to do melee combos and run...

this isn't really news, it's been know for some time now.

everyone is able to stealth but all non rogue classes use stamina when they move in stealth and walk slower while in stealth. it will be easier to pop non rogues from stealth with search, at least that's how it worked in open and pvp beta. non rogues need more shadow then rogues to stealth but it shouldn't be to hard if you put points into it.

stealth takes about the same stamina as sprinting does. you will probably need high stamina regen food or pots to continuously walk in stealth.

Err, why can everyone stealth ?

why not? im not trained ninja or assassin or anything like that.. i can still sneak in the shadows should i choose to do so irl.. so why should i be able to do so in game?..

i think it's more balanced the way stealth works in this game. and it adds another element to ambushes and pvp in general.

you never know what's comming when you try to gank someone.

Everyone gets the skill "HIde."   Rogues have an advantage, of course, but Hide is useful for we squishy (Priest of MItra) characters who want to try sneaking past an unwanted battle or two.  Further, the fact that it eats my stamina means I am not 'stealthing' since I will be done hiding within a few moments.

If you're sneaking through shadows technically just about anybody can do it.  Of course assassins can do it better especially since they wear quieter armor.

I suggest you go read the whole deal with stealth and not just look at "omg everybody can stealth, this game suxxx!" and inform yourself properly before posting next time.

all you have to do is stop and wait for your stamina to regen. that's how it worked in pvp beta and open beta.

What is being unmentioned here is that there is an ability gained which improves your chance of detecting a stealthed enemy.

Stealth isn't foolproof.
