well concidering its a bug that you can shoot before you end up decloaking....

Just enjoy it while you can until you get nerfed to the ground like everything else competitive around here. The nerf bat is the true scrub weapon in Dust.

I've heard of that bug, but I don't know how to do that. I'm talking about the normal switching to weapon then firing.

yup thats the one, you can get 2-3 shots off before you actually decloak by switching weapons while cloaked and shooting as fast as you can :P

netcode FTW

people are calling you a scrub because they are seeing you decloak AFTER they are already dead :P

i realise its not intentional, but its broken none the less.

CCP purposly corrected the cloak design to prevent shooting while cloaked, but the netcode from hell is letting people do it anyways. its a design flaw and not intended operation.

If they don't see me run up to them cloaked, then they wouldn't see me if I was uncloaked.
Just sayin.

So, the cloak doesn't work?

If you don't then why did you make this thread?

I agree that you should still use what you skilled into, its not your fault CCP made the shotgun and cloak combination work so well. Scout is easy mode though, it is for me now at least. As for equipping precision mods, its doesn't do any good for any suits that aren't scouts (I believe), without completely eliminating all other combat effectiveness, and that is a problem IMO. Scanners are completely broken. I see both sides of the coin I play scout on one character and a little of almost all else on another, scout are a little OP.

I don't know. maybe to get people to try to counter cloaks, rather than whining about it.

Ah, the Logi in denial.

who honestly doesn't give a f*ck if people call me a scrub for using shotguns and cloaks now?

last time I recall, I didn't spend 3+ million sp on the shotgun just to not use it, and I'm sure as hell not gonna stop using the gun I've been using since I started this game just because other people don't like it.

and cloaks. I, like A LOT of other scouts have been waiting for them for a VERY long time, and now that they're finally here, we're not going to use them because some crybabies don't know how to use their eyes?

I think that most people dislike how fast you can decloak, then shoot, and that's understandable. I'm not against an increase to the amount of time it takes to decloak then fire, but other than that, I can't think of anything else that might make it OP.

cloaks helped emphasize the importance of ewar in this game. now you have people running precision enhancers when before, they were a joke! to me, the game feels a lot deeper with cloaks, like my precision enhancers actually matter, since I can still see most cloaked scouts, and ewar in general has become so much more prominent.

too many time I've been in a squad and here guys start raging about how broken scouts are, when they don't even run ewar mods to at least TRY to counter them. people aren't willing to sacrifice anything to combat other tactics, then complain when they get killed because of it.

TL;DR

I could care less if I get called a fotm scrub for using the role I've been using for over a year, and instead of complaining that everything is OP, fit your suits to counter the tactics that you have the most trouble facing.
