Hi All: New Idea for Sneak skill for Spy Follow
25 posts
Hi All: I was thinking of the Sneak skill for a spy. You turn it on and become invisible. Why cant the devs change this and add a disguise then being invisible? What you do is put on your disguise on, a enemy comes close you press Sneak and you wont get attack. The enemy will think your a ally, droid, or something else. Just a better way then using the Sneak skill. Why cant smuggler, Bounty Hunter and spy have this? What do you guys think?
That would require effort on the part of the devs. The only way that would have any major effect on the game would be if you could appear as the opposite faction in pvp while active.
PVE, your looking at mimicing the local flora and fauna... which is where the too much effort takes effect... So it your looking at generic disguises... which would be more comedic than anything...shrubbery,crates...maybe even cardboard boxes lol.
So while for all intents and purposes your invisible, its the easiest visual interpretation of avoiding detection, you un-stealth and its pretty easy to realise youve been noticed. Its star wars, think of it as a camo-screen more than invisibility.
What i always found funny was that smugglers get the splicing skills yet spys cant lol

Spies are invisible, but in context of the game they are not. I mean they're "camoflauged" but there's no way to apply camo to this game because people just turn their Radial Flori off and besides we have auto aim and more that would show a camoflauged player.
So the devs have to have a mechanic to represent that spies are "camoflauged", not "invisible" and the only way to do that with this engine and code is to make the character invisible (or semi visible if a spy gets passively detected.) This is the only feasible way to represent camoflauge with the restricts of this game engine.
When a spy is in the city he blends into the crowd or the shadows, and the character goes invisible but in context its not like he's the Predator invisible, the spy has only blended into his surroundings.
If spies in this game became a disguise, the ruse wouldn't last for long on veteran players- they would figure it out and just follow the disguise player, knowing that players every step, waiting real close until the spy's disguise burns out.
On the other hand the Jedi cloak in context is invisibile because the Jedis using the force to mess with someones mind interrupting their vision, or something.
A smuggler's "Hide Ally", where the smuggler cloaks another player, is like the sumggler shoving his friend into the shadows, or crack in the wall.
