You get:
-visual concealment
-a free stacking penalty free complex profile dampner
-1 free undodgable shot from the weapon of choice as you decloak
Where is the downside to it? Lol, is there a down side to fitting a RR or an HMG? Is there a down side to carrying a nanohive? Is there a downside to having kincat? Wtf you smoking? Well yes as a matter of fact there is. RR, less damage, more range, look it has a down side HMG more damage less range, look positive and negative again nanohive, you can only carry 2-3, it only has a range of 5-10 meters, it has limited usage Now stop being stupid.
Compare equipment to equipment.
Nanohive? Gives ammo. And the downside is that it... can't be deployed with your weapon out.
Repair Tool? Fixes your teammates. Downside: Can't use it while holding a gun.
REs? Let you plant traps and blow things up. Downside is once again the inability to use your gun at the same time.
Scanners? Light up enemies not only for yourself, but other friendlies as well. Where's the downside? Oh yeah, guns.
Cloak? Lets you turn "invisible". What's the downside? HEY LOOK! Same downside as EVERY OTHER PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IN THE GAME. Oh yeah, and you're not really all that invisible after all. And the "not really invisible"-ness gets turned up to "lighting up like a blue christmas tree" whenever you move. Also, unless you're fitting it on a Scout suit with a lot of SP investment, it costs more PG and CPU than literally any other equipment item in the game. Even then it's at a comparable level to other equipment costs. As an added bonus, when you turn it off, it makes a noise telling everyone nearby that there's someone decloaking and it's time to start looking for them.
Now stop being stupid.
I support the volume being turned up on the decloak sound though, it's rather quiet for anyone who isn't the one decloaking right now. Fix that, and add some tutorial splash screens with "see this blue glowy thing? It's a cloaked player. Check it by lining up your sights on the target and seeing if your marker turns red. If it does, unload on their faces before they Shotgun yours off". Problem? No problem. |

2. Subtract result from original value.
OR:
1. Multiply by 0.25
So as was so eloquently stated by Lorhack, "l2maths". And I multiplied .75 subtract total.
Well you appear to have done it very wrong, because as stated, even the prototype version doesn't cost 128 CPU after the 75% reduction.
330 x 0.25 = 82.5
Lets work it out how you CLAIM to have done so.
330 x 0.75 = 247.5
330 - 247.5 = 82.5
If the prototype cloak only requires 82.5 CPU, what magical version are you calculating from to get 128?
Again (or still), l2maths. |
