Just a thought...... i do fit a recharging mod. i think shield recharge rate should be a viable strategy in combat. i dont want to brick tank like everyone else.

Requests: 1. Cloaks can't activate in the redline. 2. If the cloaked enemy passes directly in front of the reticule, make the chevron pop. Like in KZ3 with marksmen. 3. Scanners disrupt cloaks. 4. Flux grenades disable cloaks. 5. A new item, a beacon, that will emit a radius of interference that can be placed around an objective point, and can be carried like nanohives, nanites, etc. 6. Firing completely breaks cloak (again, like KZ3). 7. Make it use a TON of PG/CPU to avoid god modes. Make the cloak users choose between a cloak and a proto shotty or sniper rifle.

I think they've got it the wrong way round ... you should have to decloak before you can fire a shot ... and there should be a delay before you can fire, which some suits could have a bonus to reduce ... just like how cloaks work in Eve ... Have any of the DUST devs ever played Eve !?

You can't shoot in EVE Online if you are cloaked, so I think the same should be in DUST 514 too. By the way, if cloak is an equipment, so Logistics have almost the same bonus to cloaks as scouts (-10 CPU/PG to equipment) I support BPO removal and RDV to take your vehicles back

Bendtner92 Imperfects Negative-Feedback 1467	Posted - 2014.01.09 11:12:00 - [53] - Quote Can shoot while cloaked... I sure hope CCP starts listening to their community/CPM because this should never see the light. You should never be able to shoot while cloaked, just never. I don't care if you're being uncloaked the moment you start shooting, it just shouldn't happen. You should have to deactivate your cloak before you can start shooting, or switching to your weapon will automatically decloak you. Possibly there should be a slight delay from decloaking until you can start shooting. TL:DR: Do not let people shoot while cloaked. Winner of the EU Squad Cup & the closed beta Tester's Tournament.

You can switch to other weapons/equipment while cloaked. - You cloak. The amount of "shimmer" is increased as you move so standing still you will be nigh invisible, but when moving you will be noticeable to an extent. When cloaked, you obviously have no chevron or health bars, but the enemy reticule will flash red if you run past it. - Cloak can be deactivated by selecting it and pressing fire. - Once deactivated or it runs out it will start to recharge. - Firing a weapon while cloaked will rapidly deplete the cloak field (a single shot from a sniper rifle, for instance, will decloak you) - You can only fit one cloak field at a time. Requests: 1. Cloaks can't activate in the redline. 2. If the cloaked enemy passes directly in front of the reticule, make the chevron pop. Like in KZ3 with marksmen. 3. Scanners disrupt cloaks. 4. Flux grenades disable cloaks. 5. A new item, a beacon, that will emit a radius of interference that can be placed around an objective point, and can be carried like nanohives, nanites, etc. 6. Firing completely breaks cloak (again, like KZ3). 7. Make it use a TON of PG/CPU to avoid god modes. Make the cloak users choose between a cloak and a proto shotty or sniper rifle. PLEASE for the love of god do NOT give CCP ideas that KZ3 marksman class was in ANY way a good way to balance cloaking because knowing how clueless they can be they might go play KZ3 for ideas and u dont want that. As i told kane when we had this convo a few weeks ago tell CCP go buy a PS4 and play Killzone Shadow Fall , cloak is perfectly balanced in that game.............KZ3 marksman was the most broken thing in that game.

We were planning to release the bundled up stats for 1.8 changes next week (2nd sprint ends next week) so that we had plenty of time to get feedback from everyone and implement any necessary changes. Too many specific issues to address (otherwise I'd be posting all day and not getting any actual authoring work done) but please keep in mind that everything on SiSi is not final. That doesn't mean that they will change, only that they can. There's plenty of time to provide constructive criticism and for us to act on that feedback. Could we at least get a primer on how cloaking mechanics work so people can stop jumping conclusion and inferred speculation based on one line of info. - The cloak field is a piece of equipment. - When selected the cortex is raised and you press fire to activate it. - Once activated, it goes away and your weapon is raised.

Ok. I'm on holiday. I'm 2km above sea level and nursing a wreaked body from stacking it yesterday. Not really relevant but I mention it as how important I consider this issue. CLOAKING IN DUST MUST NOT HAPPEN UNTIL THE GAMES BALANCE IS ABLE TO SUPPORT IT!!! I can't stress this enough. The game is in no fit state to even contemplate such a mechanic. Please for the sake of the New Eden gods, do not do this for at least another year. We don't have all the weapons. We don't have all the suits. We don't have all the vehicles. We don't have a consistent frame rate. We don't have more planet types. We don't have a working UI. We don't have player trading. We don't have a credible link with Eve. We don't have chat channel admin. We don't have new players getting into the game. We don't have a working matchmaking system. We don't have a balanced vehicle/infantry combat mechanic. We don't have more maps. We don't have more than 3 game modes. We don't have a fulling working Faction Warfare. We don't have a working Planetary Conquest. We don't have reasonable TTK...... Every one of these is a far higher priority than a potentially game breaking feature, clearly thought of after a drunken Predator film fest at Halloween. Ditch this madness. It's just stinks of pre Uprising CCP. Start learning from your mistakes. Now. Uprising turned the game ****, scouts need this to give us real viability. I noticed you don't complain about as at all in your rant either which is what really needs removed before the game can go anywhere Parody Dust 514 Lyrics Vote for Delt
