Archer Hiding

Except dead bodies look distinctly different from living ones. Every head has a different skin for dead people, unless you're headless, not to mention how bloody dead bodies look. Sure if the knight isn't really paying much attention they'll pass you by, but that's more their fault instead of your wit.

 

You'd be surprised how dumb kag players often are....

 

To really look dead in general, you have to take your arrows out of your inventory, making it look like you died with an empty quiver. The easiest way to spot a faker is look at the quiver. If he/she's got arrows in their quiver, then they're most likely alive.

 

It seems that small good changes are coming to KAG. I think this would be a nice thing to add to a future update. *cough* *cough* @Geti

 

Did anyone else find it incredibly amusing? No? Well fuck..

Anyway, hiding was great in classic but Beta is chaotic and has action all the time, when you hide, you're only missing the good fun, IMO. Also, whenever it is "needed" to hide there is also the thrill of not knowing if you'll be caught or not, I can't understand why people would like to take it away.

 

Too difficult to reasonably implement without community outcry, many manhours dedicated, and so on.

 

Really? Just to have a name not show up when you press the down key?

 

You already don't see the names unless you are right in their face.

Honestly, I find archers because they have the gall to shoot at me, and then run.
Set aside the 7 or so on the forums, it seems everyone else practices the notion of hiding out of harm's way, or simply being outside of harm's way.

 

i dont think that would take hours upon hours to edit a few scripts to hide your name upon pressing S.

 

That explains why I have problem seeing names anyways.

 

I still feel that this should be implemented. Can anyone vouch for the feasibility of it? I'd really like to see an update that helped out the stealth for archers. Taller grass, no mini-map icon, no name hovering.

 

It would make the game allot more fun and diversified

 

No name tag while you're hiding would definitely be nice. Though if this were to be a change, I would assume people would grow increasingly vigilant. Seems like an even trade off, so the change would be practically non-existent, regardless of it happening or not.

Edit: I recommend picking up a log and standing still. Works every time.

 

Most players play at mid zoom, so if you hide when no one is on screen when at max zoom, people will be less likely to see you in the act if hiding.

I play at max zoom and always see archers trying to hide, or people concealing mines. If they only went for it when it would be absolutely impossible for anyone to see them, they would get away with it a lot more.

 

It would be cool if this was implemented. I have always been hoping for this to be added.

 

reviving the dead.
Archers need no stealth since knights agility got decreased. I wouldn't mind regeneratable human frags though

Spoiler

 

I can't make a new thread so I'm forced to post in this one, as far as to what archers "need" you are in the minority with your opinion. This feature would only add to the complexity of game play while providing more options for play.

With the help of @Skinney i was able to make a script that removes archers from the mini-map.

this.UnsetMinimapVars();

That is all it takes to remove the dot from the map. Now all we need is the names to be removed.

I would love to be headless! Why did they remove that feature?
