Ok, here's the scoop on critters noticing you stalking them so dern much....ready for it?

One, remember how long it took for you to follow along behind some critters when they moved rooms? That was increased, since that was increased, so were the amount of times that critter checks for you. I've noticed alot of you stalking critters way above yer levels and them nailing you on the first check. Before, it was hide,stalk,backstab,rinse and repeat. Sometimes...that took a tad longer and critters started seeing you all.

PLUS, the code that checked for how well the critter could see you was WAY out of proportion. Once again, no one really noticed this before since the critter check hardly done since most of you had done yer backstabs...or ambushes....or whatnot by then and already been removed from hiding.

Either way, that check is now back into par with things. You'll still notice a little differance...but not much. Critters that are yer level should be a pretty dern good matchup for ya. The lower the easier, the higher the harder.

ALSO, that little bug that wasn't a bug that someone mentioned about how AES really went bonkers when all they did was sit there and do nothing and thier mind got fed up learning stalking...has ALSO been changed. That will no longer happen either for any guild.

Further more.....your bonus has been added into this part as well, which it never was. I believe rangers bonuses will be going into it as well kinda soon.

Also, any bonus any guild gets to some stats for whatever reason due to K's, spells, etc...etc. (I'm not saying which ones) Will also be applied. Be it negative or positive.

Let me know how it goes. From my testing this looks like it's right on the money with how well they see ya.
