Game Mechanics: Rogue hide

[bulbousaur]

Please

[kanras]

Pending update, reverted back to the old functionality of rogue hide where mobs had to specify their ability to see through hide instead of seeing invis being enough. The only difference is that race-based hide can still be seen through by undead.

Sounds perfect, and classic.

I will sing your praises from the highest mountains of Norrath.

OMG My question from the reddit page got this looked at thanks a ton guys!!

It's not perfect. It's just that the first step was reverting the asinine way I changed it last time. There's still things that will eventually see through hide that currently don't:

- See invis spell
- Certain mobs when player hide skill is lower

Maybe more I'm not realizing right now.

I don't recall player hide skill ever being a factor. Level 1 (brell) rogues for instance were used in the hole. Where's that sourced from?

+1

Even the other thread someone started about hide being skill dependant has been shot down.

Hidden is hidden is hidden... skill level only affected success rate, and later (probably) evade success rate.

Don't make the mistake of locking yourself into thinking that there HAD to be a reason for those 101-200+ skillups in Hide.

Hide just worked - unless you were a noob. Sneak may have had some nuance with skill level, but good luck proving that out.

Oh wait, all we have to do is find 13 year old post from a now 26 year old man, and read it in a vacuum. Bang - proof, baby!

I know. I was saying exactly that in reply to Kanras.
