Yup, my concern too. Also, hopefully cloak won't have some mechanic that can be abused that will bait the FoTM chasers. No doubt the idea of cloaks are gonna attract some tourists - which is fine as long as they go back where they came from eventually... I've said before - tryhards won't have the patience to run scout when you have sentinels and commandos to choose from (the more short sighted ones will stick with slayer logis...). If they rely on cloaks they are gonna fail to get the kills/KDR that makes their OPness feel all tingly. The Ghost of Bravo

Proper scouts will always shine. It was only last night that I played some of your corp. We ran into to Lightning, Neausea etc... and we got beat. I have had scout suits since chrome but I have to admit I have not really used them much at all in a long time. I'm trying to get back into stuff, just play around with fits and what ever takes my fancy but it is VERY CLEAR that a proper dedicated good scout will always beat a fotm scout so why worry? It's not scout on 'scout' that is the problem for me. Current scouts know a lot of blues don't understand how scouts work and fall for basic scouty tactics over and over... I've even had to explain to my own squad, things like why I'm not moving directly with them when they attack that heavily defended point from the front (the fact you are logi with reps doesn't help me as much as you think...). With buffs and cloaks, your average FoTM /newbro scout will manage to get some 'annoying/cheap' kills in - add in the old scouts who can top leaderboards already - your average forum QQer who loses their pro-suit once too often to REs, shotguns and NK, will suddenly label scouts OP/Scrubby and the nerf whine will begin. I mean I remember being in a non-scout squad, the reds had a scout squad - between REs and ninja NK/Shotgun kills the city points were locked down. I tried explaining to my squad - we need to flux points and have someone cover the hacker. They can see us (...them) on passives relatively easily and we won't see them on our radar - we have to assume they are always ready to strike at us...oh and don't chase them around corners... The responses I got? 'Thats ***** cheap...' 'Wait - so they will just hide until we have our backs to them? Gaaaay' '! That guy is just running up to people and knifing them!' 'I know right - I mean learn some *** gun game' '*** cheap ass ******** just knifed me, same cheap ass ******** who got me with that remote - *** scrubs abusing broken *!' And that is now* before the buffs we've been waiting for. I fully expect to receive hatemail about cloaks even if I wasn't using them. The tryhards wont have the nerve to stick with it, but they may **** off other tryhards enough to cause detrimental QQ. People hate what they don't understand. The Ghost of Bravo
