Guild Wars 2

I think it would be a nice feature that when any player goes into stealth they are actually just going into another dimension. Meaning that anyone else in this dimension can see others. If an entire teams gets bubbled into stealth the enemy players can do the same and see and target the players.

I guess this idea would be too much awesomeness for them to implement xD

Oh my gawd, they should do that!

What a cool idea!

What.. and if 2 thieves fight eachother? The one who runs out of stealth dies the first?
Also: this would require a really big loading.

+10

Totally agree. Oh so much win.

Like a… Shadow Realm?

You’re dealing with forces beyond your understanding, human!

Joking aside, I think this would be a really wicked idea.

Taking Thieves up from standard trickery and deception and into the realm of shadow magic and the manipulation of darkness.

A simple way to do this would be to have Stealth apply a colour filter on your view, to make everything a cold bluish shade, as if to simulate you’ve phased into another angle of view.

This +1.
The idea is great, and the suggested implementing method would work without increasing a servers workload overly much.

Thumbs up for this suggestion.

Seems like an interesting idea, I’d imagine less people would complain about stealth too…one would hope that is :P

isn’t it already so for both statements?

I actually really like this idea, it doesn’t effect PvE, but it effects WvW in a positive way. People complain that there is no real counter to stealth, this brings a counter to it and it also brings an interesting twist.

But it’s stealth, not phasewalking.

yep, or shadow-stepping which is another thing the thieves does

As of yet, stealth can’t be countered. Either a starcraft-style ripple or this kind of shadow realm is desperately needed to add a counter effect to stealth.

IIRC gw1 rangers were supposed to get stealth but it was never implemented because it is a broken mechanic by default.

I do like this concept. Only question is: what happens to other stealth users?

There is no load at all. All this does is alter the way targetting works. Currently if they are stealthed you can’t target them. In this case if they are stealthed and you are stealthed you can target them.

Also the idea for shifting the color scheme to blue would require zero extra work because the game already does this. Lighting and color is altered based on where you are in a zone, not just in the world. As such it would take no effort to cause the lighting for the character to shift when they go into stealth.
