To Spy or not to Spy

[Anonymous]

pretty much, hehe

Lol, well I'm sure spies will have other abilities to try and defend them, and also they're going ot be able to have martial arts also, so it might not be that easy.

I'm a spy basically cos thats wat im best at!
But I was just thinking, as im a new member, I have to be active in the threads to officially become a proper member.
But as a spy, surely I have to stay hidden in case im selected to go do some recon on another clan or something!!?
Or maybe iv just thought this through too far...

Ah screw early spying its just a waste of time.Lets just wait and see the full list of abilities a spy has when the game is finished.

But are sneak attack skills going to be usable on other players, or just npc's? I only like interacting with real players.

If you go to our "./downloads" section, you can download a 12 minute video of combat footage from e3. In it, it shows a player v. player combat where sneak attacks are used on other playable characters. The answer to your question is yes.

I'm definitely looking at sneaking around.

I will only be known when required.... hopefully.
Want to get myself one of those mask thingies!

Well, I got my information on each class from Megacity Online.
Soldier: http://www.megacityonline.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=16
Hacker: http://www.megacityonline.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=13
Spy: http://www.megacityonline.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=14
Keep in mind that all abilities with a star next to them are NOT official, so each Skilltree may end up completely different. However, it looks to me like Soldiers will be Soldiers. Hackers will be the wizards in EQ, the chefs in SWG, and overall the guy you go to if you need a "buff". Spies will be rogue types. I've always preferred being a rogue for the play style and for the roleplay style. I intend to be a spy. Mobility over power ^.^ Why kick the mother-loving crap out of the big guy if you can run through the wall and get around him?

I'm with zink, I will be a hacker and will mainly focus on crafting, I like being able to be useful to all members of the group at any given time, if we are in down time, or fighting or whatever.  and I always like the idea of people knowing that I made that kick ass gun that is helping take down/stall that agent.  When I used to play SWG I played as an archetect, and mastered it without the help of a giant clan to give me everything I needed, which is increadbly hard since you CAN'T make money as an archetect, I could normaly sell the base resources for more then crafting out the objects, also worked on chef which was just about as bad if not worse, anyway, if you know what I'm talking about that just shows how dedicated I am to my crafting.  So once things start up, give me a call up for your next upgrade.

I'm with you ten, no need to cut down the tree in the path when you can just walk around it.  :twisted:

[Anonymous]

Or through it, for that matter! :-D

[Anonymous]

because there is no tree.........  :lol:

[Anonymous]

Nor a way around! Brew ha ha ha.

Well I am definetly staying hardcore spy for the angels.  Primarily becuase it's what I do best.

 I love spying, espionage and being able to trick people into beliving otherwise.  I'm a strategist at heart, planning things out carefully

Ah screw early spying its just a waste of time.Lets just wait and see the full list of abilities a spy has when the game is finished.

I agree with Eligoh on that one.  There's no point with not enough info on the spy tree yet and there is no point snooping around different factions so early but even so, it is still good to be informed and vigilant.  Never turn a blind eye.
