Stealth detection
Stealth does not render a player completely invisible.[1]
- There will be indicators that can help players "feel out" where stealthed individuals may be.[2]
- There will also be utility skills that will reveal stealthed players, such as on the Ranger archetype.[3][4][5]
- Certain NPCs can also see through stealth.[3]
- Stealth augments from the Rogue secondary archetype will incorporate stealth modifiers into a class' primary skills.[4]
Stealth is 100% an option in the game. It's not going to render yourself or the individual who uses the stealth completely obscured. You're still going to be able to identify- there's going to be utility skills that can reveal stealth from a PvP perspective. There's going to be perceptions that certain NPCs have that can see through stealth, like Tremor Sense or Life Sense. There are elements of mechanics that relate to stealth and how it is balanced in the game. It's not going to be similar to stealth that's been found in other games where the target is rendered completely invisible- they can make it past every enemy NPC or monster: they can use stealth at all times. These are elements that is a tit for tat. These are components of class-kits that are going to have corresponding counters as it relates to other classes as well.[3] – Steven Sharif
