Thoughts on stalker so far

[rustyparrot]

is it good, no, whats your opinion?

Hate it. "A stalker victory is rare," they claimed, but my friends and I are still getting used to completing missions as it is. Game that included the stalker was by far the least fun we've had so far.

I Won on first try, as stalker.

Sonnet, hopefully it was clear that you won't be invaded again as long as the player who hosted invades no one else. You can keep your games safe from then on by just not engaging in stalker play. We know the mode isn't for everyone, so we just allow a single invasion so you can see if it is for you or not.

Me and my buddy had the "intro invasion".

We spotted a strange moving (what we then thought) AI, then we saw he was named Stalker and thought, new enemy? Lets avoid like the plague!

It was no problem avoiding him and finished our mission like usual only to get the info about the stalker system after the mission, that's the only part we found odd.

Maybe the player playing the stalker didn't know what he/she was doing, because we never saw the stalker again and did not get notified that we were recorded or something.

We like the idea of the stalker but will choose not to play that mode simply to prevent any grieving (simply highly likely due to being a new system with possible bugs and exploits). We like multiplayer co-op, not versus (leaderboards are of course fine).

I found myself pretty confident wandering around and completing missions to be honest. The first stalker i got completely raised the game difficulty for sure, which is a good thing for me, as it began to be slightly too easy (plus, when you think about how much you can learn a map quickly). Theres something different about the shape too, it can reach spots it didnt before, nicely done. The stalker mode is a thing to discover, not fot everyone, but every old fashioned story has their bad boys ;)

Nice co-op game, creepy and occult, this will xplode in steam records.

WAY too overpowered

It's early game access you're portraying the game, it's very important to feature what you want to show off for the game & as such, so by allowing the stalker to invade someone on there first game experience & let's just say they end up disliking it, can you really blame them? I already tried explaining this to you, even if it's one time invasion, it's still a first experience & alot of people will judge the game by their first playthrough.

Stalkers can't invade you until level 5, which is hardly 'your first game experience'.

Gonna assume if you also make your game Friends Only no one can invade you, me and my friends hit lvl 5 then a few games later got the stalker dossier as a reward at the club. I don't really plan on invading though.

Actually, you can still be invaded by a stalker if you are set to Friends Only.

However, once you have been invaded 1 time, you will earn a Stalker Dossier to try out this mode yourself. You will NOT be invaded again until you use this Stalker Dossier to play as a Stalker.

This way, everyone gets an opportunity to experience the stalker once, but if it's not something they are interested in, they only have to get invaded once.

NOTE: In order for a stalker to invade your session (even the first time), the session's Host must be at least Level 5 and there must be at least 2 players in the session. Low-level players and solo players cannot be invaded by a Stalker.

Hope this helps clarify!

It means you did get invaded. You just never saw them.

Probably, could of been the match we ended super fast because we messed up big time xD.

The stalker makes the game more of a challenge which is fun. Stalkers are hard to get when they stay near the shape/lucids though.

ya, but I've had games playing stalker where I was next to the shape and lucids, but they threw one flashbang, and that gave them enough time to catch me.

And who knows, maybe he did get caught after, or he just threw another flash and was fine.
