No, there wont.
Hmm DAOC had one and it worked fine. Why shouldnt it be the same deal with WAR?. Just make 2 classes, one for each realm and make em' have diffrent styles of sneakyness
no stealth for war
No traditional stealth(none can suddendly become invisible) in WAR.
Stealthers...archers are among the least favored by the mythic/daoc devs.
There are no true stealthers in the WARHAMMER world.Ok you have units that work off camouflage as in they can blend in to the environment but no one can actually disappear in front of your eyes.
Stealthers didn't work fine in daoc, they are always ither gimped ( or so people who play stealthers say) or overpowered (or so people who face stealthers say) Thing about stealthers, stealth itself isn't a powerful ability. There is rarely a need to scout that a visible class can't do (stealth is nice in say eve, where scouts play a very important role) All stealth allows you to do is choose your battles and avoid beign zerged, as awesome as that is, it doesn't actually help you kill when you engage.
So, stealthers must also be able to kill, kill people who have no idea that the stealther is there and can't do anythign to prevent being killed. Of if they can prevent beign killed, then stealthers whine that they can't kill. Get buffed and once again are able to kill their target (usually casters and support, but depends) while their targets have no way of escaping (since stealthers just got buffed) they whine again about overpowered stealthers, stealthers get nerfed, whine they can't kill, get buffed.... Stealth just doesn't work.
Stand up and fight face to face, like rest of us!
WAR is not DAoC, it is a different game. And Mythic has said that they are taking what they learned from DAoC and applying that to WAR. Part of that is the lessons learned regarding stealth/inviso character.
There will be none in WAR and WAR will be that much better for it.
No, thank god. You'll have to fight or run away. No slinking around, too scared to show yourself during a fight.
This is probably the single best feature that WAR has going for it. Seriously. Just the thought of not having to deal with hordes of easy mode, invisible one-shotters ...
Amen. I love playing thieves and rogues in RPGs, but I'm happy that this option won't be available in a PvP-centric title like WAR. I've often used and abused stealth in other games and it is certainly a get-out-of-jail free card that doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense and requires zero skill when you look at it. If you don't have the cover of darkness, or you're not wearing camoflauge, or there are no objects to hide behind, how could you feasibly turn inivisible. It is something of a nonsensical ability that unfortunately is often abused by griefers.
and where have you heard this information? this is the first i have heard of this and i have been following WAR for a long time.

He is talking about the tabletop game, not the MMO.

I have never heard of any unit or class in Warhammer that can disappear before your eyes.DE assassins can hide amongst their troops and pounce out but there are not totally invisible.
I know a lot about Warhammer but if i missed something then enlighten me.
WAR-stealth works like this..and in all of them you can still be seen..
1.mode that causes you to not be engaged outside of a certain distance.
2.disguise that allows you to imitate the appearance of your opponent and not have red-name.
3.really high rate of evade while not in combat
4.it could be more mundane, like half-visible.
Wood Elf waywatcher is a stealther but even they cant disappear in front of you.In wooded areas they have very intense camouflage but like i said outside of a wooded area they are sitting ducks.
Like i said show any class in Warhammer that can turn totally invisible...

I am still waiting...lol their was a Warhammer before EA Mythic and if you know as much as you make out you would know there are no true stealthers in the Warhammer universe.
Perhap next time you wont jump to conclusion and do your homework.
I like Mythics deisision, no stealthers mean no worrying about your back eh? no worrying about that rogue/thief/assassin sneaking up on you and a massive amount of damage to you before you could react,, you won't have to look behind you in WAR, theres nothing there
The following statement is true: I just told a lie
