Leveling stealth and camouflage

[humusmandala]

So recently i started crouch walking into a wall when ever i tab out of the game, take a toilet break (irl) etc... this gives me some stealth skill, but at a rate of around 1xp/sec it will take me A LOT of hours just crouch walking to gain a level (even reaching basic takes ages). with that in mind i also want to make clear that i am not looking for the game to be easy mode, and i like a challenge, it just seems like the learning curve for those skills are WAAAAY steeper than that of survival. i think a middle way between those would be better balanced. Alternatively it would be great if stealth was awarded for sneaking up on animals, puppets and players, so the closer you get to them without triggering their "Awareness" the more xp you get. At least it seems sort of ridiculous to have a skill that you basically know you will never get to advanced+ (even starting with advanced) before SCUM 4 is released.

Did you notice the big boost for entering stealth? It's worth like 200 seconds of stealth walking, something like that. Idr exactly it's been a month since I did stealth testing but there was a boost. Are you sure you can deadstick into a wall and gain still I thought I tried that? Well obviously its working now I guess. huh crazy.

Yeah I seem to remember Eroktic doing a video on stealth. He was crouching into a bush and earning XP that way. Probably faster than stealth-walking.

Oh so my friend edited the function of the keystroke of his keyboard in windows to do a long chain of timed events from that key. Like the fact that when I press w only 1 w appears is a set thing so he just set it different to repeat a bunch like 10k times or w/e. that aught to do it

Why not just be a cheater at that point

Camouflage is gained by crouching or laying down in a bush (a large amount after a few seconds followed by a slow gain of 1xp pr 3-4 sec or so) but stealth is gained purely from crouch walking or crawling (afaik). i really want my stealth maxed so i can sneak up on my prey without them hearing me, don't care to much about camouflage, since that is affected by which kind of clothing you are wearing in which terrain etc etc. and i believe that just wearing camo gear is enough, i don't need to "not be rendered" while hiding in a bush. (and it is already way easier to level your awareness than your camo/stealth)

sound like it could be more fun than auto crouch walking into a corner for hours...

This was for macroing skills up in Ultima Online because damn that game, but your not wrong. I mean I don't think you are. The whole reason I dug XBOX360 gaming so much was everyone basically had the same stuff and competition was tight.
