Needing the cloak to decloak within certain meters simply because you can't see it, and therefore nerfing it, sounds very CoD like... which is removing tactical gameplay. I honestly don't know why cloaks are an issue. To me, unless the background behind the cloaked scout is VERY bright, they are extremely noticeable. There are plenty of people who can see the cloak just fine. It seems like the unskilled and blind minority wants them nerfed to hell... |

It seems like the unskilled and blind minority wants them nerfed to hell... well it works just like this in eve and yet the cloak is a very viable tool.... do some research. a cloak should not be an active engagement weapon, it should be a tactical tool used to gain an initial advantage in combat, to flank, to drop links behind enemy lines... to, wait for it... SCOUT enemy locations and their fire power, to hunt snipers, to set traps with RE's...I could go on its unfortunate all most of you can think to do with a cloak is blap people in the back of the head with a shotgun... I don't believe for a second that was ccp's intent for its use....
That's how it works with massive ships, yet this is infantry, an entirely different game in terms of strategy. Also, shotguns are not an issue whatsoever. Any weapon used with the cloak is just as effective, so stop blaming one particular weapon for your troubles. With the Eve universe as large as it is, compared to how infinitesimal infantry is, a ship decloaking in front of you is not a huge surprise, and you have plenty of time to run, assuming you're paying attention. The cloak in infantry is an assassins tool, used to get around and about through enemy lines. Scouts were quite pathetic without ti, yet everyone is on the bandwagon that they're OP, yet I have no issues with seeing them, nor in the way they work. The only suggestion I could make in "nerfing" the cloak, would be to reduce how much time it takes to decloak manually or switching to your weapon or equipment. Sincerely, try to be aware of your surroundings and stop playing like a frickin' casual noob form CoD. |
