New Ability: Invisibility

Now please explain to me how you can hide Chomper from being seen unless he has stealth.

I have to say I have been getting severely chomped in GW2, which never happens--well almost never in GW1. I think it's due to there being so much going on, on screen it's really difficult to hear him coming. I've encountered several times when I've been ambushed by a waiting chomper and had no idea he was there, because there was no icon for him on the screen.

I think he's doing just fine in the stealth dept. And I really need to spend more time playing as chomper, I'm used to being the one getting the drop on players, not the other way around! >_<

@tristkiss

You didn't see him coming? Then it was probably lag issues...

Hiding where? How can you not see something that big coming your way? 😉

Once again, I come to you about the chomper. It has nothing to do with lag when it comes to not knowing a chomper was behind you but a carefully played chomper. You can easily work your way around by mainly focusing on the side that does not have a teleporter because its often overlooked. You have people focusing so much on the teleporter side you can sneak behind nearly everyone. Invisibility would be another over powered move that they do not need. You can often get around 6 kills before they take you down.

Let me add on that I am not a Zombie player and it is extremely ignorant to assume that everyone against your mech idea or your plant buff ideas is a zombie lover who loves the 'constant winning'. Plants are by far my favorite of the two factions and Chomper being my favorite. I just think your ideas are often extremely unneeded and WAY too much.

You can get 6 kills at the zombie spawn before being taken down???

Thats assuming the first person you kill doesn't respawn and KO you after 10 seconds, the second person, the third, fourth and fifth. That's assuming all six players are playing with their eyes closed, and the whole team not spotting you during all of these kills when your name is showing up on the kill feed...

The whole zombie team would have to be both stupid and blind.

I disagree with your statement, sorry. 🙂

Oh and don't worry, I don't know if you're a zombie lover or a plant lover...I will respond to you fairly.

No, dont stay in the same spot and when they are looking for you, its as simple goop and murder. Sometimes you need to play your hand and if its a doctor and you know you cant get behind it, without going down, leave. I have personally done this on a multitude of occasions. Its called being smart, the other team does not need to be blind or stupid. 

@JarlAdalbert

Move where? You're at their spawn point, most spawn points are open and visible, and are generally flooded by zombies.

Actualy due to the major imbalance, you probably don't see many respawn.

One issue, when you die...you have to walk all the way around the map again to kill someone and they're looking for you this time, it doesn't work. I've tried it many times and it's a waste of time.

Maybe you were playing against dummies, lucky you. Not everyone is a dummy?

Assassains need stealth capabilities. If Chomper isn't an Assassain, then it needs more health, more damage and damage mitigation when gobbling someone, thus making it a tank. I'd rather give him invisibility and call him an Assassain, that'll be more fun! 😉

not total invisibility. the teleporter is to hard to guard anyway. plus an invis chomper... how would you guard against it? the only reason the chomper is fair (in the first game at least) was because you could hear him dig, start to borrow, or just have general knowledge on were a chomper might be/ have seen. if he could just walk wherever he wanted.... well there goes balance.

Also giving zombies an anti invis chomper ability is a bad idea. because then you will have to sacrifice another ability just to get that guy who is invis. it will disrupt the flow the same way armor lock did in Halo Reach.

By your logic,scientist should also get a invisibility as he's also considered as a assassin by some.

+ He also technically have a invisibility already by standing still while at burrow.

Your idea is interesting. But it not really something that would fit chomper at all.

This just reminds me a lot about MGO and all the discussions over on Steam. Where a class has an invisibility item and another class an item to see invisible players.

It's a huge drama with plenty of issues involved. Because of how people play.

This better stays out of GW2. And if anything it would replace the Burrow/Teleport, not the Spikeweed. And technically Burrow already has invisibility properties.

Maybe lower the drain during a burrow on halt. But no new mechanic.
