Proposed duration for each is way to short. It would become tactically useless for what a lot of us use it for: namely shadowing opponents and striking when least expected, running across wide open terrain and then hacking a CRU or objective, and avoiding enemies all together. I think it is fine the way it is and I hope CCP doesn't bend to the QQ cry babies. They should suck it up like we did for the past year we have been virtually impotent in most cases.

I agree up to the point for the duration. I believe the duration is very good and doesn't really need a nerf. However I understand a little and you could nerf it a couple seconds say 25,45,65 for std,adv, proto, respectively.

Yeah I only use the ADV Cloak as well. 1 Minute is long enough for me in most cases to stay invisible for almost the entire match and the Proto Cloak it too much of a resource hog to justify the extra time. And yes, the people running around cloaked who think they are invisible ARE pretty funny ... especially, the medium suits. Like dude even when you are standing still I can still see a Chevron above your head lmao...

Please show us on the doll where the mean Scout(s) touched you.

There is an audiable noise while decloaking, problem is you are dead by the time you hear it.
We aren't salty about an actual scout taking advantage of momentary lapse of concentration, we are salty about getting shot before you decloak, that's all.
The simple solution the animation when you manually turn off the cloak is compulsory even when switching weapons.

If you truly are a good scout me seeing you at 8m as opposed to 5m shouldn't make a difference to you.
There is no need to remove cloaked dampening that just hurts everyone involved.

Just make so you can't fire before you finish decloaking and everyone will be happy. Except the KDR chasers, but that is what we want to achieve.
If thats not enough for you, I could instead suggest that we bring back the shooting under cloak penalty had originally proposed, but was denied because the community didn't want people shooting while only partially visible,

From personal observations, I can say with a 100% certainty that cloaked players can fire a couple of rounds before actually de-cloaking. Two nights ago, I killed a cloaked enemy scout who was firing on me, the scout did not de-cloak until after I killed him. People don't often acknowledge just how big a deal this really is. Combine this broken mechanic with nova knifes, shotguns, plasma cannon, or the OP combat rifle and your opponent is dead before you actually de-cloak.

A mechanic needs to be created to hinder cloaks for being spotted and fired upon. This mechanic should not be too harsh in order to avoid punishing the cloaked player for getting hit by a stray bullet. Iron Wolf Saber went over this topic in his own thread.

Cloaks are ALMOST perfect. They need a LITTLE more work. And it's funny how people overzealously disagree when told that.
