Thread: Would you want a squad leader leading your group if they could do this?

What I am thinking is there could be a command for a squad leader that hides his group from radar for 15 minutes. It would be geared toward pvp, and would be acquired at master. People would still see your group if in range, they just wouldnt show up on radar. As group members began to engage in combat they would lose their invisibilty on radar and would pop up... This could actually lead to some really cool tactics being used in fights. You could actually ambush people

Only until people started hacking the packet stream and using a third-party radar program. Unfortunate, but true.

Yep, I used to hate the radar until I realized that it puts us all on an even playing field, eliminating the hacker's advantage. The radar is unrealistic, but necessary at this point.

Put hacking aside. Would you want a squad leader in your group if they could do this for the group?

Its cool, but, group concealment is a ranger skill. It works on NPCs, but, doesn't drop anyone off the radar in PvP. Rangers are pushing to have that changed. I don't think they'll get the change, however. There's too much griefing with no counter-balance. Unless you gave combat professions a detect camoflague skill mod.


But, yeah, PvP camo would be cool. But, it would belong in Ranger not in SL. Sorry.

Ranger, what are you talking about?? the ranger is a PvE profession! nothing to do with the radar, they can conceal players to animals, yes! but I'm not sure player use their NOSE to smell other players


This idea has been discussed, I included it in the SL tree long ago, this belong to SL all the way




Want to hear about the old Kudaark? huh?
Vangeance he seeks from those who took away his Loved One
But never an innocent or a helpless one will he harm
For he is a Protector, fearsome and fearless in battle
In the name of Freedom he sways his Justice
The Purifying Flame burns within him, a Kuun-Lan, he is...

Investigation in the BH line could have the counter to squad leaders being able to hide their group.

Hacking asside, sure, but hacking will never be asside, unforunately.
