Having bolts stuck in ones ass doesnt make one that invisible anymore

[Schleicher]

I just had some fun games with Dillinger on Bios server and one thing was really really apparent. If a thief has some bolts in him they are really really visible, regardless of invisibility potions and/or light level.

Doesnt mean its autokill (depending on your ability to track a bunch of fast moving small sticks) but its a dead giveaway regardless. Would make Tag bolts obsolete if not for the fact that the AI cant see the bolts.

Bug/Feature? It sure gave the game a somewhat new element :P

Yeah this leans towards the guards allot more.

was strange seeing bolts in midair trying to circle strafe you

Damn I meant to vote against it not for it.

[immortius]

I consider it a bug, or at least a "feature" we haven't gotten around to implementing away yet.

[Spidey]

LOL!

Yeah, I hadn't thought about that, since I've only played against the bots.

I think this could go two ways. Either the bolts are allowed to be part of the thief and disappear when they hide or use invisibility, or thieves are given the ability to un-pincushion themselves completely, thereby making it their responsibility to make sure they use more stealth than inventory.

Or my third and favorite option: drop a flashbomb and run away!

Speaking of which....where are the flashbombs?
