2. If I shoot someone cloaked, THE CLOAK IS GONE. A 5 sec delay starts and after that the equipment slowly recharges.
3. Lower Shotgun damage to Chromosome build stats (33-35-37?), it's TOO EASY to kill other dropsuits thanks to cloaks (heavies are free kills, not even a slight struggle).
In all honesty you are a top 3-5 player in the game. You opinion should carry weight, but there is 0 problem with SG Scouts, the problem is with the cloak.
If you want to have players uncloaked by damage or flux nade, or maybe even future equipment, i understand that perspective. But i feel removing cloaks would nearly balance the classes (outside of assaults). I said nearly because there are a few tweaks to a few suits, but as far as classes go, the removal of the cloak would place Logi, scouts, heavies (both) in the same range of strength. If assaults were "fixed" we could really see parity between the classes.
It won't happen, too many elite players jumped off the slayer Logi bandwagon and onto the scout slayer + cloak. They can deny deny deny all they want but if cloaks were removed their would be a balance and skill would rise above SP. Which again, is a problem to the elite community who greatly value their advantages. |

By skill, i know you mean the free skill CCP provides you by signing up before most, or using boosters on a free game, or using that cloak you constantly defend without justification. And by earned, you mean collected passive SP right? I think if you signed up at the start of open beta you should be close to 15m mark, so earned, hardly.
The SP that provides you with the advantage you need to be competitive, ya that one, the advantage given by CCP which is why you don"t play CoD or BF.
From my estimates the SP caps around 26m SP if you are infantry. After 26m SP it seems SP isn't worth much, you should have all core skills, have 2 weapons fully skilled, and could have 2 Proto suits.
It doesn't seem like there's much after 26m SP unless you begin to skilling into ADS or Tanks.

These Mercs deservedly create scard reds in any and all matches they play, in any suit, with any weapon or tactics they employ, they make it work, when these guys say it works way too easily and seasond vets such as OP don't agree with the mechanics of how easy it is to destroy anything they encounter due to these mechanics, I would suggest not only is OP blue tagged, but CCP, Development, and CPM take onboard what has been said above. LOL. If you'd have been around here longer, you'd realize ... Old man Alldin has lost his crutch, and he's come here to try to get it back. Moody and Borimir are a different matter altogether :-) They trained for a year straight in a joke of a neutered suit ... A suit which has just been given its balls back.
Aladin still dominates. And as for Bormir, i messaged him and he seemed to have no clue that his SG + cloak was broken. I had to explain the SG + cloak "glitch", not sure if he didn't know but he didn't seem too.
Let's put everything into a little perspective having 30-35m SP is going to give you a greater advantage in combination with their skill, running in elite squads are going to further that advantage.
Both are great players but both are great examples of scouts not needing cloaks, scouts got a significant boost in 1.8 (not including cloaks) and both would be dominating the same way because of their skill. Cloaks are just letting the mediocre players match their scores with no where near their skill level. |
