Mimic Dart

    With the FINAL release of the Mimic Dart now out...Here some things to remember.

    You can mimic the following:

    • Players,
    • Skeletons
    • Skeleton Captains
    • Skeleton Lords

    You can not mimic the following:

    • Phantoms,
    • Ocean Crawlers
    • Ashen Lords

    Key Notes:

    • Animation effect for the mimicking player
    • 2min timer
    • All emotes return to default
    • Appearance matches the target fully. Outfit, curse, body type, etc...
    • Name plate remains as your own (important)
    • Name turns "Green"
    • As your mimicking, you can interact with anything. Besides Clothing chests, or vanity chest (makes sense)
    • While Mimicking, you can attack, be attacked
    • As long a skeleton isn't hostel already, they wont attack you once you mimic one. (so mimic dart before hand)

    one thing i see as a massive fail for this, is that you cannot mimic Outpost NPC's

    @callmebackdraft

    Well… yeah. They’re NPCs… Non playable for a reason.

    Commendation/Achievement fodder.
    Could have optimized play. Added weapon favourites. Clothing Sets.
    Dyes.

    Multiple full sized pets and an ignore pets option.

    More garbage to ignore after commendations.

    Make it matter lol.

    @xdragonman15558

    Skeleton lords, regular skeletons (gold, plant and shadow) and skeleton captains are also npc’s.

    And guess what you can mimic as them

    @callmebackdraft
    Mmmhmm… but they move, don’t they?

    NPCs at outposts don’t. And I doubt other players want people mimicking as them when they are trying to sell some loot do they?

    Guess they should be labeled as “mobs” not simply npc. It confusing to some it seems.

    I need to check. What about bosses like Gold Horder?

    Does mimicking regular skeletons hide your nameplate?

    @frog5033 Mimicing anything shouldn't change/hide your own nameplate/Gamertag.

    @look-behind-you That sucks, now I know why I got spotted while trying to mimick obsidian skeletons aboard the Burning Blade.

    @frog5033

    Mobs/Npc dont care about names.

    But if they are already hostile toward you, it wont work. You have to do it before getting on the ship, but if the battle music is already playing (from my experience) still wont work. :/

    @frog5033 I hate to say it, but I kinda feel like it should until either you attack or something damages you.

    People are calling it the "gimmick dart" because it's a neat gimmick but doesn't really do much that's practical.

    If you've planned ahead and have gone ashore to disguise yourself as an enemy NPC before another crew arrives at a fort or something, you deserve to surprise the enemy crew at least once.

    Tucking shouldn't be the better option vs. a tool that was supposedly designed for infiltration and surprise.

    Just warning yall, I crashed when I was shot by a skeleton while mimicking a skeleton. All my athena grade 5 loot gone. I would say wait for bug fixes, but we all know how long that might take.

    TLDR; Use this at your own risk. It aint Rare if it aint buggy
