#3218, "Can someone explain how stalk works?"


          

The help file is not very informative...

How long does the effect of stalking last and what cancels it out?

Do you start all over when a person sees you? Leaves an area? Logs off?

How many times stalking do you need do on a victim to have a noticeable impact? Is there an obvious point of diminishing returns?

Thanks for your help.

When you stalk someone, your stalk count for them goes up.

Over time it goes down; when they see you or they otherwise become aware of you, it goes down.

If you haven't stalked enough, assassinate always fails.

Also, as I learned through reading logs after my first assassin....you only have to be in the same area as the person you stalk, not just the same room

What's a ballpark # of stalks before you tend to attempt an assassination? Any rules of thumb would be awesome!

The better you get the less you need.

One of my assassins got his only assassinate after 2 stalks. Crazy when I think how many that one failed with many stalks.
