Vanish while carrying relic?

[old.CrazyMuppet]

I recently acquired the infiltrator RA called Vanish, which bypasses ALL the rules of entering stealth and makes you hide at any time.

This i found is true... i can stealth in the middle of combat, regardless of what is going on...

Then i decided to test some more... during crafting a stealther cannot stealth normally, it always says 'you have to end your current action before hiding'..

But during the making of an item i hit Vanish, and *poof* i was gone, while the crafting continued.

Now if the programmers really flatout ignored and bypassed all the rules for entering stealth, i wonder if infils with Vanish can stealth while carrying a relic. Normally stealthing isnt possible when you have a relic... did anyone test this?

It would have some implications if this were possible.

I think he's just hoping



(Shame it's not exactly an easy thing to go and test though )

Difficult to test. But even if it is bugged, it wouldn't change much. The last thing you want if you successfully grab a relic out of the enemy's keep is to have a stealther walk away with it (*cough* *cough*. As soon as you pick it up, the clock is ticking metaphorically (enemy reinforcements are heading to your milegate to cut you off) and literally (you have 120 minutes to get that relic back to your relic keep or it poofs magically back to the enemy's). You want it moving at top speed with a group to defend it.

If the 120 minute timeout didn't exist then stealthing around playing cat and mouse with the relic might be a bit more strategic. As it is...

Hmmm.... Missed the point?

Well, relic-carrying group speeds up towards the milegate... Oh dear, 100 Hippies blocking the way. Hmmm, Mids all over the place trying to leech. How can we get past the milegate?

I know, let's hit Vanish and sneak past un-noticed while the battle rages on.


Basically, you hit Vanish when there is a sign of trouble, not carry the thing the whole way in stealth.

 

[Alrindel]

No, I haven't missed the point. And you wouldn't need Vanish in the situation you described - Midgard did precisely that in their famous prime time raid capturing the spear from Hibernia. They got the relic out but hibs blockaded mmg in time and killed the albs who were trying to run interference. With time running out on the 2-hour timer, the mids charged the milegate and the relic-carrying group managed to make it through alive.

With all the aoe going on it would be a big mistake to try and take the relic stealthed through 100 enemies. Your only hope in that situation is to sprint and pray.

Depends on the situation... Anyway SOS > all for running a blockade.

 

[Arnor]

thats why you have a group ahead that has cc. so the mincer need to decide, sos now, or at mg?

[censi]

Stealthers should never hold relics.....

sheesh dont people know anything these days...

/kicks stone

 

[Aeiedil]

seems not censi would rather be killing ppl than worrying abotu a relic

remember on the last alb power raid of the hibs i had one of the relics at one point. someone picked one up when they werent meant to and ended up passing it to me to pass to ort

pass the parcel

LOL... damn you

 

[jua-cosmos-jua]

hibs would stop the stealthers? I d put a lol right there

 

[lofff]

.. and after so long playing this game the same question roams my mind:

Whys the average alb so stopid?


:great:

Most of the alb relic carrys I've seen on prydwen were done by stealthers... Minstrels in general. And TBH when 50+ albs charge the milegate, it's really easy to miss the group blasting through on SoS+BoF in the middle of them.
