I have MANY MANY MANY times, accidently hit the trigger button instead of the weapon switch button and completed the full animation of turning off my cloak, THEN, I realize what I did (because if you do it that way, you will be locked into the animation (try it) until it completes. THEN, I switch to my weapon; fully decloaked and KILL MY TARGET. Because I have positioned myself to where they do not see me.
I'll tell you what, you can change the cloak to operate that way full time if you take away the feature that your reticule turns red when you hover over me and I am standing perfectly still watching my cloak timer count down and hoping you will turn away just as you mow me down without being able to react.
Your EYES and EARS will beat out any cloaked scout btw, most of us only have 300 to 500 armor.

I am a big proponent of scouts against being able to brick tank. I have a Gal suit with 229 shields and 108 armor. I run complex kin kats, cardio, code breakers, dampeners, all the good stuff that makes us a scout and not an assault. Unfortunately CCP, made it so all roles can be played near the same, heavies can run kin kats too. I have seen a heavy flank with a burst HMG and wreck face. Hopefully, mediums will get a buff and all these FoTM peeps will leave my field so I can sprint free again.
But the weapon switch + cloak + shotgun arenGÇÖt the problem. ItGÇÖs just that there are more of them now, H3LL, Lightning xVx was going 35/1 a match before 1.8 with A SHOTGUN AND A SCOUT FRAME.

Why because you failed at stealth, the enemy is aware of your presence! I don't view cloaks as a crutch. But the way some of you argue over how broken mechanics are fine sure makes it look like your using that cloak as a crutch. And I am a sick sadistic bastard that loves breaking crutches. 
Eh, blame CCP for allowing scouts to brick tank, I wouldn't/HAVEN'T survived this encounter, if people shoot me I die. I have 334 eHP. I don't think your story holds true either, most people that get killed by a cloaked scout switching to a weapon and firing is because its a high alpha damage weapon, like a shotgun. If its a rifle, as we start to decloak it's easy to find and kill us. Maybe if you guy was standing 4 meters away.....
The reason I kill about 40% of the people I do is because, I engage, I lose the upper hand, I RUN AWAY. And they GO back to their business, just cause you saw me run into the hillls 100 meters out doesn't mean you can go back to hacking dude. I can close 100 meters before you are done. Play smarter. |
