I have read alot about this game, but I have not really come across much concerning stealth. Could anyone fill me in a bit?
I understand it will be used by the rogue class, but how important will t be in PvP?
Will Rogues be able to stealth attack like most games, or will it be mostly a defensive "hide" ability?
Any info would be appreciated. This game looks pretty nice so far, but if I cant play an interesting Ranger class I will be dissapointed.

Every class will be able to go into stealth, but the rouge archetype will be able to do it better with the assassin the best.
Detection of stealth is based off of character stats and how out in the open the stealthed character is -- if you hide in bushes you have a better chance of not being detected.
Any interesting links would be welcome as well...
thanks again

The truth is that no one who can tell knows.
A lot of the stuff we have been told about the game has been creative ideas from the funcom devs side. But what in the end really gets into the game no one really knows.
For example stealth were originally thought as hiding and using the enviroment to make your toon not be rendered by an enemy but now it looks like its just Daoc, Eq2, Lotro, WoW stealth from the capture the flag vids. But then again there might be factors you cant see from those vids so who knows?
Its the same with mob AI, spellweaving, crafting and so on. No one really knows what makes it into the game from the creative ideas.

I must have missed it... all I saw was some side boob.

Sorry again.
From what I've seen and read stealth will be slow, dependant on environment, and something everyone can choose to put skill into with rogue classes having higher potential.
Stealth detection may also be a skill one can invest in and line of sight will play a part. Players will get a warning "someone is stealthed nearby" or something to that effect.
That was a great link Mortemia.. thanks for that. It looked like he was duel wielding daggers as well, which was another question I was reading up on.
I would like to see a similar video with the Ranger class... my personal favorite in PvP games.
The more I read up on this game the more anxious I am to play it.

LOL so at least you will know before you get "backstabbed" for a rediculous amount of damage. Hmm wonder if they have higher abilities that will allow you to perform a full kill stealth attack.
There was a pretty long and good quality movie in youtube about a ranger, which showed some of the class' skills and gameplay and the state AoC currently is. Even though it was breaking NDA heavily I feel no shame in watching it. As ranger&rogue are my favourite classes - everything I saw was too damn good compared to what I've used to see in mmorpgs out in the market..
The link isn't here on mmorpg.com anymore and I'm not sure if they've already removed it from youtube too. You might want to try your luck anyway.
