Proper Hunter Stealth

Post by ParadoxSpace » 21 Mar 2016, 20:45

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
You know how when Hunters use stalk but it still says 'Hunter 42069' on your chat bar? Get rid of that second part.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
It'll make hunter stealth actually viable and less complete bullshit.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
(Maybe also make their teeth stealth?)
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
Don't ask me dude, I don't code.

The stealth already works well enough, only moderately skilled players notice stealthed hunters. I've completely rekt several people while stealthed as hunter. Still, I remain neutral as I found it a bit odd myself.

I don't think hunters are supposed to be completely invisible. It is easier to see them while stealthed than mouse over tiles and look the bottom of the screen anyways.

Seems you missed the point of the suggestion by a mile.
The name displayed when you hover over them, not their text being displayed in the text window.

Regardless, eh. Neutral?
On one hand, this would go towards making the stealth be more, well, stealthy.
On the other, this is probably not needed that much - compared to the text, the actual sprite is painfully visible.

When the wind whips past your ears
Will you stand when the weight is upon you
Or will you go to your knees in fear?

This is not possible for technical reasons, also it's not supposed to be foolproof. Denied.
