Lurking in the Shadows

[Resture]

Okay I have thought of a new skill.
I was thinking something that incorporate light and dark for the game... since the game has it... and it seems to have very few uses.
I was thinking of a skill that could be called "Hiding in the Shadows" or "Lurking in the Shadows".
It could be a black skill. Where there is no light source if you have it active no one can see you. Also you would have to move at crawl speed.
But if your in the light it doesn't work. It could be useful for raids at night.. and make people actually want to light up their encampment.
I think you pretty much get the picture.. and people are going to bitch that griefers already have enough of an advantage. But, really, I don't give a fuck.
It would also be useful for hunting griefers. 4 Marksmen with the skill could go just surround a guy charge up their aim and take him out. He wouldn't even know what hit him, unless of course he had some source of light around him.
I think it sounds sick.

It would also encourage people to replant trees for the branches to make fires. Just think of all the possitives this could bring.

Also, another thing to add if this was added would be the option to feed fires more wood.. and when you right click to view them.. have a window that pops up that shows a bar or timer indicating how much longer till the fire burns out.

Hmm. I think I would prefer if this effected the literal stealth in-game.

If you go around committing crimes that cause your scent to appear, in the daylight it would happen normally.
And when night rolls by, there could be a bonus to stealth...
Your light source idea could be a counter measure for protection. It would make sense that you would have lights up around your grounds to ward off such criminals.

Sadly, this really ends up being a situational buff to greifers. Not many would support that.

i like it, but until the combat system gets revamped big time, i must agree with shoop and say that this will simply help griefers and hurt everyone else.
kind of a tangent, and forgive me if this already applies, but i would like to see stealth effect animal aggro. high stealth means less bear and boar attacks. also, add a spruce suit to go along with the spruce hat, providing even more stealth.

I love your idea OP, except the part about fires being refueled, sounds exploitable

[theTrav]

I like the idea.

I especially like giving a bit more point to light sources

this is a good idea so what if it helps griefers its not like they do anything that bad anyway, they are cute, lil children i pet them on the head. Stupid Griefer ha ha.

A bit like you then? I have read several of your failed attempts to troll other threads...

[squfar]

what are you talking about i dont "try to troll" im just a dick

[burgingham]

Maybe keep your dickery in the Inn of Brodgar then and not in a forum where meaningful ideas for game developement are discussed. Because I am fairly certain you are completely unable to contribute any worthwile idea in here. The other solution would be that not only that one, but all your posts will get moved to Hel.

Nice idea! Yes, yes, yes.

You could maybe factor in other things, like clothing that gives a stealth bonus.
