Operative 1171 Aajli Bragian Order Amarr Empire 1699	Posted - 2014.03.31 21:41:00 - [1] - Quote From my perspective scout assassins with the cloak have leveled the playing field. I got taken out by shotty scouts just as easily before the cloak. I easily get blindsided by things in this game. Now with the cloak though scouts are willing to jump down in front of me to get others when before I didn't see them chance that. Also, due to the shimmer I am seeing them better because they stand out better. If not that much shimmer then I still see them because they are hanging out in front of me rather than constantly moving to stay behind or out of sight. So, the rest of you are now experiencing what I was dealing with before the cloak and I am better dealing with them like others were able to before. Also, I am the scout. Muhahaha. Though thank your stars I suck at the shotty assassin thing and usually try to run as a light assault, logi, hack what have you. "Stay stealthy scouts." GÇô Ron Burgundy

Though thank your stars I suck at the shotty assassin thing and usually try to run as a light assault, logi, hack what have you. You have made an argument against cloaks than for them. You have acknowledge cloaks are rewarding poor gameplay (jumping down in front of you, attacking you from the front, hanging out in front) and if you can see cloaks just as well non-cloaked then whats the point?! Then you acknowledge how its easier for up you and that you're now a shotgun assassin. Hmmm, that's not what scouts are suppose to be. So you've provided yet another reason to remove cloaks. I don't even need to argue with you how cloaks are low risk, high reward with no drawback. They rewards poor gameplay, Diminish the amount of skill required to be a successful scout. Or even tell you how they rewards poor choices, reward a players lack of map awareness, or even reward a players patience or pathing or strategy ... Etc... So i guess you are now in favor of removing cloaks, you have the arguments you're just too stupid to see you're sitting on the wrong side with your conclusion.

That is the one thing I agree with in Cotsy's tirade. I've been trying to clarify otherwise on the forums that the ninja assassin is a playstyle that has emerged out of the scout role. The cloak is just as useful to sit and report enemy movement. Of course, try telling Cotsy what I really think. He's totally got me defined by some weird youthful presumtiveness.

I'm a Scout shotgun user myself, so I can see how the cloaks have turned a whole bunch of struggling scouts into dominating forces. Do they gameplay dictate such an increase in "skill, no. Just because you struggled in previous patches doesn't mean you deserve such an easy mode or advantage to your gameplay. If you Can't use strategy to sneak up, well use a cloak. Aren't aware of your surroundings, use a cloak. Most scout struggled but now its nothing but easy mode, you love it, all scouts do.. But it isn't fair or balanced to reward gameplay and lower the punishment for mistakes. You're argument is that you should be rewarded for easy mode because they cost some CPU/PG?? Its 82 and 17, hardly difficult to equip for a lv5 scout. Do you really think paying for easy mode is the answer! "Eyes are OP" is not a valid argument. True scouts owning your ass, please, you're just a little * who can't excel without your CCP crutches. Slaying with a cape doesn't take a good player, it takes a cloak and your Logi scanner. If you were good before 1.8, then you should be happy scouts received an bonus equipment slot, as well as two new classes (flexibility and more varied roles(, plus additional modules (one low and one high) on previously released suits. If you were so good, and received boosts, then why do you need a cloak to be competitive, the answer is you do not. Cloaks should never be removed, go turn on easy mode you little *. Tired of struggling as a scout, well you got significant class boosts and an easy mode equipment. Turn it on and it limits your mistakes and provides offensive advantages for poor decisions and gameplay. You probably couldn't hack it in CoD or CS or BF, so you went to find a game where it gives you massive ad ranges dictated by SP and not necessarily skill. Hide out in games where the elite is determined by SP and not skill, go hide in a game where it's nearly impossible for low SP players to kill someone simply based on his Skill Points and not skill. The only reason cloaks are here to stay is little *** scouts who are so happy they got easy mode, now they won't struggle but excel without any increase in skill. Turn on cloak, get better.. Seems easy enough. You can take your crutches from your visit to the CCP hospital and enjoy your low risk, high reward bulllshit. Cloaks are here cause scouts are self interested and don't want to return to balanced mode.

Cotsy8 The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 193	Posted - 2014.04.01 02:20:00 - [15] - Quote Yea, you still haven't provided any valid reasons or justification for a cloak except that you require one. The new slot, the new classes, and the second equipment slot is quite the opposite to pigeon holing. Not to say that a Min scout wouldn't require to hack or use NK to get their bonus, which is a pigeon hole. But there are so many options for scouts that with or without a cloak they should be able to accomplish. Scouts can go 25+ and 5- without a cloak, the highly skilled players can put up highly skilled scores. But to provide players who poor gameplay and decision making on a fragile suit with such scores is ridiculous.

Wow first day back in the forums and i have to read this big wall of Bulls**. -''Then you acknowledge how its easier for up you and that you're now a shotgun assassin.''* Well of course, its easier for us Scouts/shotgun assassins to move now with cloak, so yeah, it IS easier. But we did it before WITHOUT cloaks, you are just mad we have something you dont. -''I don't even need to argue with you how cloaks are low risk, high reward with no drawback.'' LOW RISK HIGH REWARD? you talk as if cloaking meant invisibility.PLUS Claoking is not something CPU/PG light, its actually very hard to fit, EVEN on scouts. If you have poor eyesight like myself, get GLASSES. The Cloak help scouts and further increase the ''STEALTH'' purpose of them. -''They rewards poor gameplay, '' POOR Game play? Running people over with a car is poor game-play. Tanking a heavy and go sniping with it is poor game-play. Running in 6 man Tank squads is POOR GAMING. A Cloaked Scout is not Poor game-play. TRUE SCOUTS have been owning your asses with scouts since the beginning of time, now because we have an advantage then we have POOR GAMEPLAY? Most people saying that ; are salty, thats all. Running around in 280 HP and going 30+ kills per game with 5 or less kills TAKES A GOOD PLAYER, regardless of cloaking. Most players like myself were having good scores before 1.8, Cloaking just gives us more options. Cloaks SHOULD not be EVER removed or nerfed. Period.If someone is having problems with it, quit dust. Go play CoD or something....Cloaks are here to stay. I didn't read your name, but I knew it was you, king, but I had a feeling you posted this because of all the bold font.

I got taken out by shotty scouts just as easily before the cloak. I easily get blindsided by things in this game. Now with the cloak though scouts are willing to jump down in front of me to get others when before I didn't see them chance that. Also, due to the shimmer I am seeing them better because they stand out better. If not that much shimmer then I still see them because they are hanging out in front of me rather than constantly moving to stay behind or out of sight. So, the rest of you are now experiencing what I was dealing with before the cloak and I am better dealing with them like others were able to before. Also, I am the scout. Muhahaha. Though thank your stars I suck at the shotty assassin thing and usually try to run as a light assault, logi, hack what have you. You have made an argument against cloaks than for them. You have acknowledge cloaks are rewarding poor gameplay (jumping down in front of you, attacking you from the front, hanging out in front) and if you can see cloaks just as well non-cloaked then whats the point?! Then you acknowledge how its easier for up you and that you're now a shotgun assassin. Hmmm, that's not what scouts are suppose to be. So you've provided yet another reason to remove cloaks.

Poor game play is only poor game play if it doesn't work. Efficacy is the standard, not your subjective standards, and ineffective game play is still not rewarded. The fact is that we just have more people playing scouts and not all of them are good at it, cloak or no cloak. Because, that's why.

Kara Anschel Tech Guard RISE of LEGION 99	Posted - 2014.04.01 02:46:00 - [21] - Quote There either needs to be a swap weapon delay. Or you need to physically deactivate the cloak to be able to switch to weapons. Being able to pump a shotgun round into someone before I even decloak is extremely frustrating to the person I'm killing, and it just feels wrong when I do it. Which is why I only run NK and cloak, or shotty and remotes.
KING CHECKMATE Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 4729	Posted - 2014.04.01 02:59:00 - [22] - Quote @ noobieCotsy8 ''I'm a Scout shotgun user myself, so I can see how the cloaks have turned a whole bunch of struggling scouts into dominating forces. '' NOPE. They are not DOMINATING FORCES.They are just AT THE SAME level as other frames. They can be easily killed by pretty much ANYTHING in this game. Scouts are given cloaks to increase their chances of survival and of sneak attacks. Its not a Godlike teleporter or anyhting. I only have Scout suit at the moment level up and i can do perfectly fine with full BPO cal med suit. I die to heavies more than anything, most scotus failing to even get close to me because they are using the cloak incorrectly. ''Just because you struggled in previous patches doesn't mean you deserve such an easy mode or advantage to your *** gameplay. ''* ITs funny how you think you know anything about me or my game play. Im a CAMPER. (yeah so what) I provide my team with drop uplinks the first minutes of a match then dedicate myself to protect a single objective. Cloaking helps me a lot wait for the right moment to attack, and its needed since DUST51 maps Lack serious Cover options or hiding spots. ''If you Can't use strategy to sneak up, well use a cloak. '' Not quite. Actually CLOAK is not very good to sneak up,since when you are sneaking up you are mostly running BEHIND someone so they are not making visual contact with you. The cloak is to minimize the chance of enemy visual contact in places where there really isnt anywhere to hide. Example of my game play (consider please i have VERY high Passive scaning and dampening capabilities) GÖª See 3 enemies going through ''x'' entrance. GÖª Look a suitable place to crouch behind. GÖª Activate cloak GÖª Wait for them to PASS me. GÖª uncloak and kill the last one GÖª Attempt to kill the second one and the third one GÖª Success or fail, go hide again in a corner, cloak to replenish HP. GÖª Uncloak and wait for other enemies to show i my radar. ''Aren't aware of your surroundings, use a cloak. Most scout struggled but now its nothing but easy mode, you love it, all scouts do.. But it isn't fair or balanced to reward ** gameplay and lower the punishment for mistakes.'' Again its funny you think im a sh!tty scout just because im defending the cloak. Makes me laugh, look here i go. Huhuhuh. ''You're argument is that you should be rewarded for easy mode because they cost some CPU/PG?? Its 82 and 17, hardly difficult to equip for a lv5 scout. Do you really think paying for easy mode is the answer!'' You are the one saying is easy mode. And its not. But makes me feel you are getting owned by cloaked players.In this case please Git Gud. ''True scouts owning your ass, please, you're just a little * who can't excel without your CCP crutches. Slaying with a cape doesn't take a good player, it takes a cloak and your Logi scanner. '' . Im not known for using Crutches. Funny, because average players with cloak and scanners have no chance against me whatsoever, yet you say its easy mode and anyone could own me with such combination,but its not the case. ''If you were good before 1.8, then you should be happy scouts received an bonus equipment slot, as well as two new classes (flexibility and more varied roles(, plus additional modules (one low and one high) on previously released suits. If you were so good, and received boosts, then why do you need a cloak to be competitive, the answer is you do not.'' I am happy scouts received better bonuses and a second equipment slot. But this wouldn't make them Truly competitive. And im talking PC competitive. Cloaks help scouts play at higher levels. Without it , a scout would be forced TO TANK again,same as they wre in 1.7.Im not saying im GOOD like OMG Calamity Jane, but im more than welcome to accept a duel if you truly are a masochist. ''You probably couldn't hack it in CoD or CS or BF, so you went to find a game where it gives you massive ad ranges dictated by SP and not necessarily skill. Hide out in games where the elite is determined by SP and not skill, go hide in a game where it's nearly impossible for low SP players to kill someone simply based on his Skill Points and not skill.'' Now you are just trying to make me feel/look bad, and its not going to happen.You know nothing of me so everything you are assuming makes YOU, look bad.not me. ''The only reason cloaks are here to stay is little *** scouts who are so happy they got easy mode, now they won't struggle but excel without any increase in skill. Turn on cloak, get better.. Seems easy enough. You can take your crutches from your visit to the CCP hospital and enjoy your low risk, high reward bulllshit. Cloaks are here cause scouts are self interested and don't want to return to balanced mode.'' Thanks to this part i realize you are NOT TRULLY a SCOUT. Scouts have struggled for a LONG time with Aim assist, Stamina nerfs, Weapon Buffs etc... NOW we are balanced because we have a CHANCE of not being seen, that compensates for LOW EHP. Noting else to discuss.You call me an EZ mode Crutch user, but NOW you are using a shotgun scout,but its pretty obvious for me that you havnt been always a scout. The cloak should stay,regardless of what butt hurt players like yourself say. Ty for your time.
