Zahle Undt Bullet Cluster 1147	Posted - 2014.03.28 17:03:00 - [1] - Quote Would any of you ladies and gentlemen care if the cloaking device went away? I haven't played my Gal scout much since 1.8 landed though I did fully skill into the cloak. I see on the forums that cloaked/brick tanked mini assaults are pissing people off. People are QQing about the cloak and other people are defending the device as if it was their dear sweet mother's honor. Personally what little I have used it I find the cloak kind of fun but absolutely unnecessary to effectively play a scout. I am not calling for it to be removed or nerfed, I can't say I really have an opinion on it yet, except in general I prefer to see counters to things added to the game as opposed to content taken out of the game or nerfed. I can't say I'm an old school scout having only gotten into it a couple months before the update, but I have to admit I liked the scout suit being a little more rare. So what are you real scout vets opinion on cloaks? Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.

So what are you real scout vets opinion on cloaks? Actually, I could care less about cloak. I'm used to sitting in the mountains anyway, sniping people from miles away. Good stuff, y'know. Good **** it is when you spawnrape people and they've no idea where the hell your shooting from. I wallow in pools of blood and wash myself anew, I throw away my ugly self in order to become something beautiful...
Knight Soiaire Fatal Absolution Negative-Feedback 5250	Posted - 2014.03.28 17:08:00 - [3] - Quote People aren't using Scouts for the cloak, anyway, Cloaks are easy to spot, I love killing people who run around with it thinking they're completely invisible. fuckign casuls
DTOracle BlackWater Liquidations INTERGALACTIC WARPIGS 254	Posted - 2014.03.28 17:10:00 - [4] - Quote There are so many bugs right now, that judging anything is pointless. When they fix the sprint glitch i'll be happy. Until then I don't give a rats ass if the cloak stays or goes. I personally like it, but it's not really necessary. Fix the game first, then everyone can QQ to their hearts content.
Django Quik Dust2Dust. 2577	Posted - 2014.03.28 17:12:00 - [5] - Quote I don't really use the cloak, though I do have it on a couple of my fits - I prefer REs and a nanohive. It's not essential to my style of play but I think it brings some good gameplay to this game, whether people like it or not. Does it need some tweaks? Perhaps, but then what in this game doesn't?

If you have good eyesight maybe, some of us are old But if not for the cloak that everyone is QQing about then why, yes you can brick out the Gal scout but it still only gets the EHP of an assault and in the case of my bricked out Gk. 0 (that I've yet to use mind you) is slower than my Minnie assault, but definitely harder to scan (if anyone was bothering with scanners anymore) Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.
BARDAS Shining Flame Amarr Empire 906	Posted - 2014.03.28 17:14:00 - [8] - Quote I would care because people fought tooth and nail to get it. Taking it away just because some people are whining like babies sets a bad precedent that won't just end with Cloaking.

So what are you real scout vets opinion on cloaks? I'll agree with you, however the cloaks are fulfilling their niche properly. The problem is players are abusing it by brick-tanking their suits and that should be restricted. Let's say if you have over a certain amount of eHP than you cannot equip the cloak on a scout suit would be a legitimate way of limiting brick tanking scouts w/ cloaks. "One does not simply" look for a scout, it looks for you.
ALPHA DECRIPTER Dragon-Empire 873	Posted - 2014.03.28 17:28:00 - [10] - Quote I wouldn't want the cloak to go as I've been amped about it ever since the word first popped up in the forums. Getting rid of the cloak will have 2 possible results. The extra slot will be used for REs resulting in all the babies switching there sights from cloaks to REs. ALL of the noob scouts will use the extra CPU/PG for brick tankings Lets not forget that scouts have a bonus to cloaks so that will have to change which will possibly make scouts even harder to kill.

Oh I agree with that, which is why I said I would like to see a hard counter rather than removing it or a nerf. Something like an EMP mine or placeable anti cloaking fields. Maybe scanners need to be the counter, but I've read here that they are one of the broken things atm Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.

I specced Gal scout for three reasons: 2 equipment slots(uplinks and rep tool/scanner/cloak Low scan profile, to hide if I need to bail out of a tank. Quafe suit for warbarge stunting.

Varjac Theobroma Montenegro PAND3M0N1UM Lokun Listamenn 289	Posted - 2014.03.28 17:38:00 - [13] - Quote It is sooo fun. I had been running around a corner and I saw a ghost. I freaked out and spewed rounds. I backed up firing here and there, waited a second then dipped back from where I came from. It was intense and made me smile. I really like the cloak, it gives 300 hp scouts more of a chance. (Not speaking about proto scouts obviously). I haven't played against those who are super great with it yet. But I have experienced a cloaked enemy running around our spawn zone mercing reinforcements. I played a game of cat and mouse with him until I cleared him out. I like the way it is. I used it on my logi and had a great time sneaking around. I have always had good in game awareness so now I ninja like a beast! However, the proto cloak does seem like you could be cloaked forever. As of now, I think cloaking should work as it is, in multiple spurts or prolonged burst. Maybe the recloak threshold could be raised from 50 percent to stop certain abusive tactics, but I like the freedom of how often and quickly it can be activated.

People just need to pay attention more and turn back on their brains while playing instead of just mindlessly relying on Scanners and the Mini-map. I can't count the number of people I have ruthlessly slaughtered who never bothered to simply turn around.
Aszazel Seituoda Taskforce Command Caldari State 144	Posted - 2014.03.28 17:51:00 - [17] - Quote Yes, I'd not use one myself, but it's sort of needed now to counter other cloaks. If I am running around without one the entire time I find that I am a lot easier to pick off by cloaked socuts. But I miss the days of being a real scout, where as you are running towards the back of someone you are just praying the whole time he isn't going to turn around.
Jaster J F.T.U. IMMORTAL REGIME 3	Posted - 2014.03.28 17:53:00 - [18] - Quote I thought id like it...but i feel as if id be happier without it now. I only really use it on a lightly tanked suit for open maps. Otherwise i find it far more fun to rely on electronic stealth and avoiding line of sight. As someone else said above, I kind of miss when scouts were a little more rare to see in a match.
Vyuru Algintal Core Gallente Federation 47	Posted - 2014.03.28 17:53:00 - [19] - Quote So here is a question for you then. Since cloaking is largely a scout only thing, what are you going to give us to make us "unique"? Heavy's get heavy weaponry and damage resists Commando's get damage boosts and 2x light weapons Logi's get multiple equipment slots and boosts to being a support role Assaults get boosts to weaponry fitting and shield regen And scouts get...? If scouts got immunity to red lines, that might be something! :D I will say that the scanner tweak helped immensely, now we aren't light up like a Christmas tree every few seconds. But this is still something we finally got to make us unique again. I am very much against taking the cloak out, there are too many good new ways to play the game right now with it.

PARKOUR PRACTIONER Reapers' Assailant 1026	Posted - 2014.03.28 17:54:00 - [21] - Quote No cloak, only true scouts remain. I like sniping and flanking and I was doing fine without it, I'll live.

Apart from that, not much. I do think it needs some tweaks though. Mainly to the being shot part. It should disrupt the cloak. I got my cloak and daggers, I'm a very happy Ghost I hack at Mach V

Or give us a lunge strike with da DA DUMMMM racial knives. Cloak was overkill IMO. This is all pointless; itGÇÖs here to stay CCP didn't do all this coding and build up to take it away. They have never taken something away, even the BPO's. I just hope it soon loses flavor and the scout field will return to the previous levels. ItGÇÖs fun to kill new scouts cause they didn't learn their lessons hard like me, but it's getting annoying that it's either heavies or scouts, or logis with shotguns and cloaks.

IgniteableAura Pro Hic Immortalis 764	Posted - 2014.03.28 18:53:00 - [28] - Quote Cloak is awesome, it has plenty of drawbacks and takes quite a bit to fit on a scout even at level 5. There are obvious tweaks, such as removing the logi bonues. But honestly, most true scouts don't need the cloak to do their thing. It has definitely improved our quality of life on the battlefield. I can actually run around at 200hp and not die instantly. Nothing should "disrupt" the cloak. If you are getting shot at, someone already sees you, if you get fluxed someone already sees you. None of that should happen by "luck" spraying bullets everywhere when you see a scout. It would ruin the effectiveness of the cloak entirely if those sort of things get integrated. If you want to counter scouts, you either need a gal logi scanning, or you need a cal scout passive scanning. There are plenty of counters. PHI Recruitment or PHIsh Tank in game Youtube
Ivan Avogadro Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 945	Posted - 2014.03.28 18:59:00 - [29] - Quote cloak is fun times, and not unbalanced. it's ridiculously easy to kill a cloaker, or die while using one. The problem is what it always was: TTK is wonky, and CCP doesn't have good definitions for roles. Assaults and Scouts are too similar. I'd actually like it if scouts went back to Type II closed beta suits. 2 equip, No sidearm. We have the 2 equip now, why do we still have sidearm? Maybe let the amarr keep it's sidearm. But that would help the Assault stand out more from the crowd. Logi = 3 equip slots, bonus to equip use Scout = 2 equip slots, very low signal, very high detection Assault = 1 equip slot, sidearm included Then I doubt anyone would care about "brick scouts" since they gave up raw power in exchange for speed, intel, and utility.

AfroSunshineY Consequence R 0 N 1 N 267	Posted - 2014.03.28 19:23:00 - [30] - Quote At this point I am willing to let the cloak die in order to let the other buffs the scout has received, no matter how meager, persist. As feared, try-hards are abusing our beloved suit, corrupting the way of the ninja. This will not stand. The silly thing is the cloak is designed for UNTANKED scouts. Its supposed to be a mechanism of letting a light and fast suit move around the battle field without getting blapped at every turn. The cloak was supposed to be used in lieu of armor/shield stacking --- it was supposed to act as our defense when we had none. Now it is being abused and this makes me so sad because the cloak really is balanced. It gives you a chance for a high alpha, but at the same time is visible enough that it can be seen with the naked eye out more than 100 m away. It's being abused by what I will now refer to as "Triple-Tanked" Scouts. Armor. Shields. Cloak. It's simply too much.
