28 minutes ago, warmer said:I use stealth and have never felt it was ruined by this because you can't stealth your scent. This is a fundamental aspect of how all creatures identify prey in the when they can't see them.
That aside, stealth with immunity to be detected would completely ruin this game in terms of difficulty. It's really easy to make your way through a POI without triggering a single sleeper, all without a single point in stealth if you take your time. Without ambushes, my same point remains. All the difficulty is sucked out of it.
For me cranking up the HP/lessing damage down doesn't increase difficulty, it just makes things bullet sponges which I can't stand in games. It's not harder, it's annoying. That is just a lack of creativity in enemy/gameplay balance.
The hardest part of this game has always been time management. How you spend your time is the most difficult choice when you play solo and that is me 95% of the time.
Good points.
I feel the same about bullet sponges.
When you consider this basic truth, there is a large opportunity cost to stealth (granted on nightmare difficulty it is less than on nomad because speed of killing) so no matter how good it is, one could argue that it still is not OP. Although there is the fact that stealth is useless on horde night, I ultimately gave it up because it takes twice as long to clear a POI and my time management skills suck already TBH.
Stealth is still very broken.
