Stealth-mechanics - Unlimited/Limited

Hello everybody,
Damokles here again!

Lets talk about Stealth. We have an example of it in the game, but it kind of reminds me of a mage invisibility that they throw on, when the heat gets too high, instead of rogue stealth.

Here is my question to you: Do you thi k that rogue should have unlimited stealth(like in WoW), or should they have a timelimit on it?

I myself am a fan of rogues and typical rogue gameplay, but believe that rogue stealth should be time/resource limited! The reason is that is simple: if rogues had unli ited stealth, then that would be their majour gameplay mechanik, and that would be too bad. Rogues have so many different aspects and we see them be wasted in tradefor huge stealth capabilities.

That... that's active camoflauge, the power up is literally called active camoflauge and exactly what I was referencing in my post.

being a rogue player since Burning crusade what i want is this:
Unlimited stealth in PVE
PVP stealth can be unlimited BUT it should be like the first mechanics in wow, the more you get close to the target the more probability you become visible
Reduce movement in stealth mode
Back stab should be some of the most OP abilities of the rogue without being a instakill
There should be an ability that allows you to become stealth again in PVP (it should be a less efficient stealth, only for a short period of time and should have a very long cooldown) so it adds the idea that a rogue is a class that hits and, if doesn't succeed, run, like a smoke bomb or something like that
IS has already establish that theyr'e going to use the rock paper scissors idea in the class balance so there's definitely going to be a class or classes that are going to be OP against a rogue, my assumption is that a rogue cannot handle tank based classes and will be OP against other DPS or magic classes

I guess I should have been more direct with the fact that I was agreeing with you and giving another example

I don't necessarily think all rogue classes should have unlimited stealth, but s\rogue/rogue probably should.

Yea i think stealth should be depandant on how "rogue" you are
Probably movementspeed while your in stealth aswell.

I like how they currently have it in Apoc: "predator"/"camouflage" style stealth rather than 100% invisibility.

That should in my opinion be the baseline for stealth, with perhaps some abilities (with cooldowns) to give you enhanced stealth for a little while.

e.g. ability X could make you 100% invisible with the caveat of having to stand still, where as ability Z would give you 99% invisibility but only for a few seconds etc etc

I do like stealth toggles (i.e. "permanent stealth"), but those should never just give you full invisibility.

I think they said that the stealth in the mmo, wont last as long as they made it last, in the video
