With Uprising 1.8 we are making some changes to the existing stock of equipment items available in DUST 514. IN addition, we're introducing the brand new Cloaking Field which we believe will soon become the best friend of Scouts everywhere. Read the latest dev blog by CCP Remnant to find out more!

Yay cloak!
Quote:You do not decloak when hacking an objective or vehicle
This might be a problem....maybe. Admittedly there still is the alert that it's being hacked....but you're also straight invisible while standing still. Mostly this may be poor mechanic for CRU/supply depot hacking. There's no notification of which particular one is being hacked and multiple locations you could be standing. I have a feeling that this might be abused a little too easily.
I like however these,
Quote:
- While cloaked, you will have no chevron or health bars
- You do not decloak when jumping or falling
- If shot while cloaked, hit VFX will still be displayed
Question though. Will getting shot cause the cloak to fail or will you still remain cloaked? Also, how about climbing ladders? will that decloak as well or no? |

Anyone interested in the new scanning meta check out my scanning reference chart/list here. Assuming they didn't tweak their scanner stats since the last WIP equipment stats were posted in the F&I Forums. Range data is upcoming too. |

Can you melee while cloaked? How does the dampening aspect of cloaks work, and will stacking penalties be applied? If you are scanned successfully and then activate your cloak, which would put you under the scan precision of the person who scanned you, do you disappear? |

Meleeing while cloaked will cause you to decloak, even if you miss your target.

Interesting, thanks.
I noticed that for cloaks, there is no equipment table as with the others. Can you add it in?
And dayum, full invisibility if you're standing still! Pretty awesome. |

The cloaks have to be one of the more exciting things to come to Dust. It's going to make the battlefield much more bloody, much messier. I like it.
Also, the encouragement of specialization in the Logi suits is a welcome one. It further defines racial preferences and roles, and creating more specialization is always more preferable to homogenization.
One question, though: why didn't you guys create a role bonus for Assault suits that gives ~15-20% damage bonus to light weapons, then nerf all light weapons (base amounts) by 15-20%? That'd really emphasize Assault suit use as the primary slayers and seriously curb slayer logis. It'd also help curtail the use of heavy suits running around with light weapons, as is the case so rampantly now.

So only visual FX for the cloak or will there be audible cues as well?

Can we have an equipment respec also? Because I no longer want to be skilled into Rep tools, Uplinks and Scanners. Had I known this was going to happen while I was thinking of skilling into them in 1.5, I wouldn't have. Seriously... I want the SP back for this **** you're nerfing. |

Anyone else get the feeling that the new battlescape will *just* be cloaky scouts?

I'm thinking the cloak will be really useful for haunting null cannons with Nova Knives.

I really think this is a mistake to let them do that. Looks like all the guys practicing melee with maxed out hand-to-hand combat skills maxed are gonna get their dream come true.
What about throwing grenades? Especially Flux Grenades, Can I flux the REs off a point before I hack it? or do I have to decloak, flux, cloak, hack?

Throwing grenades will automatically decloak you, so flux, recloak, hack.
And if I'm reading this right, getting shot doesn't decloak you, it just displays VFX? |

Shhhhhhh. Don't give away our plans.
There are so many people that are going to dump SP into Scouts and cloaks and be sorely disappointed in how they perform. There will be the few that actually adapt to the playstyle and love it. While a few will adapt the playstyle and not care for it.
And all of us that have been playing scout long before the announcement of the scout's dev hugs finally arriving.

Is the cortex the arm control panel thing? I thought that was the NeoCom.
Interesting to see that you don't decloak to hack. For objectives any defenders will just blast away at the terminal but for CRUs and other points of interest the cloaking scout will definitely be causing trouble. I like.

What is going to be the skill bonus for the cloak field skill? Cooldown time reduction?
Also, can you repair armor/shield/resupply nanite while cloaked? |

Hacking while cloaked may allow you to successfully counter-hack under the enemy's nose, since the counter-hacking notification is a lot more subtle than the hacking notification. Me likey. |

quick question on profile v precision. do numbers round to the nearest 1 or nearest 0.1, and does precision win in a tie? |

That or 'contact grenade' recloak + resupply at nearest nanohive in cover. |

In my experience it rounds to the nearest whole number, and if they match, precision wins and you are scanned. |

The only thing that makes me a bit sad is my K-2 Nanohives taking a hit. Looks like I'll be upgrading to those expensive prototype models now. I'm also happy to see that Nanite Injectors aren't being reduced.

Loving all the new changes to EQ. Brings purpose to what kind of logi u r. The clock looks good too but I am worryed about being able to hack wile clocked I can see this being a problem. Over all I think this update will be the best one dust has seen yet. Also glad u upped the scan degree a bit. I mite even get a 3ed logi suit to be a scan master. Glad to be a logi and scout for this one.
PS dose getting shot wile clocked make it deactivate or do u still stay clocked. |
