shimmer is too much.... why are you sprinting in front of the enemy instead of waiting for them to pass and assassinating them

there is a time and a place for cloaks... its not keep it up every second you can then hide till it recharges.

you have all shot yourselves in the foot by using it for assault purposes. ccp will balance it as an assault piece of equipment now instead of the covert ops item it was meant to be.

You make a good point, but this is how CCP has balanced everything in this game.

Of course, it probably has to do with the fact that there's nothing else to do but assault.

thats the point really. scout before patch was very much capable of killing players. the problem was they were not great at getting away with it as once seen they were easily hunted down. what cloak should have given them was a way to get in and out if used properly and at the right time.

as i have seen, players have decided not to use the scouts sneaky peaky like abilities combined with the cloak and have instead decided to go full on assault charging the front lines head on. sprinting past enemies or hitting them head on while cloaked just makes your use of a cloak pointless.

they have given players 2 equipment slots and hacking while cloaked. this shows the scouts true purpose as support

Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 7642	Posted - 2014.03.25 21:46:00 - [10] - Quote The problem is the shimmer. Sure, I find the shimmer necessary, but I see a problem with it. The shimmer kicks in even when you're just walking about as slow as an elderly patient on a walking stick. I thought the shimmer would kick in only when you're sprinting or walking really fast. But instead you're visible when moving at all. The shimmer needs to be adjusted so that the shimmer only kicks in when you're moving any faster than a brisk walk. Full shimmer if you're sprinting.

They're easy to spot: even whilst standing still. I'll assume a great number of the players using cloaks are under the impression that they are invisible. Oh, how wrong they are.

Yan Darn Science For Death 396	Posted - 2014.03.25 22:57:00 - [20] - Quote If they want to turn away the assaulters away from a scout, they need give scouts more ewar and less EHP or something. If you can stack plates and a CR/RR on something - in DUST it becomes an assault suit. Hopefully people will get use to the shimmer and the wannabes will get sick of being ganked while cloaked - and then in the meantime, long time scouts will figure out ways to make better use of it. Frankly at the moment I keep forgetting I have one - and when I do I activate in every possible moment in order to see what it can and can't do. For now all I know is that some scouts find the STD too short, but personally activation time isn't the issue. I still haven't figured it if crouch walking produces less shimmer than normal walking. Once I've got the basics down... Frankly, they could get rid of it tomorrow though and (assuming they further balance PG/CPU and bonuses) my amount of care would be offset by the QQ from the tourists. The Ghost of Bravo
