This is why my suggestion was about simply nerfing the flat damage they are capable of dealing, to stop people even bothering to try sneak instakill bs like that, and instead use them as the support they should be (vision, support dps/cc during fights).
They're still gonna be a nuisance if they go with your suggestion...I mean IMO sneaks shouldn't be shooting a gun at all.
If devs would follow my suggestions you get
- A use for traps since they've claimed they have no idea what to do with them
- Sneaks are SCOUTS ONLY +Use of traps so they don't become boring
- All those Door Charges, Door Glues, Satchels, etc. would be used by sneakers
- SOFLAM has a use now
- Every FOnline PVP Ape's dream comes true of wanting sneaks only to be recon
- Sneak Predators aren't driving away the new players
All they pretty much have to do is bring back late season 1/early session 2 formula with Wartime, just a little bit more invisible (since they won't be directly shooting other players), add perk Concealment so weapons you can sneak with. Make sneak penalty into something where a sneaker can't just pull out a sniper from 70 hexes and shoot, should be something like -80% hit chance for 15 seconds to completely prevent them. Add a new type of trap mine mean't to cripple, maybe new smoke grenade that instantly dispurses 6 hex radius so sneak can disrupt enemies DSR/Deployed things. Traps can alone be seen from 2 hexes with high PE, and high trap skills makes them visible from like 5. Evil scientist could use rework. Remember main job for sneak is to scout, traps just something extra. How to prevent trap spam? Make them expensive as fuck + rare/uncommon materials when crafting them. Except maybe one crappy trap like bear trap, that should be cheap. Sneak boys should also be cheap. Some other stuff
but why do I waste my time. Many others have told me too I'm wasting time trying to get AoP right. If I remember correctly...
Stalger: "change snek alredy 
"
john: "What do you have in mind?"
Stalger: "..."
Oh look, like the 15th time I've said my suggestion.
I havet touched sneak since 2014 and I dont intend to start now
R.I.P AOP devs, meanwhile cirn0 is in lala land doing god knows what. Last real post was a month ago too, so I guess you can truly say AoP is dead. Kind of hard though letting go of a game you played for 2 years straight and was one of the most active players. Shame, Blasma khan would be disappointed
