I thought the cloak was pretty easy to spot and in your scenario you should have been extra alert since you knew there was a cloaked guy near you

Wait, how did he get behind you If you saw him cloak.

this isnt your typcal FPS.

im against it because you can be seen anyways even while not moving. then the heavies are also using the HMG to 'scout check,' meaning they just shoot in a relaitve area they think a scout is. the bullet spread is so massive, they just need to point in the general direction...

It should decloak at a certain threshold of damage, but not from the first shot. Flux should imediately knock them off.

the cloaking device isnt meant to kill though. it was simply made to be able to hide virtually anywhere.

we need extra help because it takes less than a second to kill a true scout (not a tanked scout scrub).



in a scout's case, our skill is more based on brains than button smashing. it takes brains to know when to actually use a cloaking device, and when to come out and attack. there is alot of brains and outmaneuvering involved.




why isnt it like that right now? because a majority of people skilled into scout for the cloaking device due to he respec, but they have no idea how to properly run a scout.

dont get me wrong though, i am grateful for the respec. i would have never been able to swap from Amarr sentinel/commando to Gallente sentinel/commando without it.

The main issue I see is the cloak still being up when they shoot the first round. A couple of seconds delay so you can't decloak in front of someone and expect to gun them down because you shoot before the cloak actually visually drops would be a good thing. It wouldn't impact decloaking behind someone since they couldn't see you anyway.

So what is your argument against being exposed when the jig is up? You have a cloak and and a low signature. You are now hard to detect and track due to specialization. Congratulations. So if I see you because you moved when you shouldn't have or took a calculated risk that didn't pay off and I shoot you, why should you continue to reap the benefit of stealth?

Sorry but situational awareness goes both ways. Don't tell people to get good when the reason you are getting shot at is because you failed.

I currently and actively play two games that use cloaking, Killzone and Titanfall. Neither of those games allow a cloaked player who takes incoming fire to remain cloaked and their cloak times are a lot shorter and those characters are a lot more Squishy than even a Scout in Dust 514.

I strongly agree with them decloaking from a Flux, it just makes sense since it's designed to break small electronics and damage stronger ones.

Idk if this has been said maybe since a cloak is an equipment and a person gets fluxed it destroys the cloaking equipment permanently until that clone dies or makes it not work for a while
