DUST Search - Abuse of cloaking device.

Legato Veritas wrote:

There have been many people glitching the cloaking device to allow for "infinite"' cloak and the ability to shoot and use other forms of equipment while still fully cloaked. As far as I know ccp stated that the cloaking device will deactivate if switched away from. People have obviously figured out how to bypass this. I believe the cloaking device brings a great deal of new gameplay styles and I'm glad that it was implemented.

However

Since this "infinite usage"/perma cloak is not intended and is obviously a very abusable bug I don't understand why they are not fixing it or banning for it. it has been going on since day 2 of 1.8. I don't believe I have read anything about them fixing it or banning the people that abuse this glitch.
Im not talking about the delay of decloaking. Im talking about fully cloaked scouts/commandos running around barely visible while shooting and throwing remote explosives and grenades.

I implore anyone who dislikes the glitch and has knowledge of said glitch to spread word and tell everyone how to do it.
It seems that just a few people abusing it doesn't seem enough. so if everyone does it maybe they will fix it sooner.

Please do something about this ccp. Thanks for your time. (if you have read this ^_^)

(if you have read this ^_^) Someone that writes that much should try reading sometimes. There was a glitch that allowed you to start hacking and then switch to a weapon and run around cloaked, but it only lasted as long as your cloak timer had on it, then went back to normal. It could only really be used in certain maps and didn't last that long. Also, CCP patched in in TWO days. There are no cheats working with cloak currently and all this info was in the technical bugs section if you bothered to look.

I find the "try reading" of your comment to be trolling and to have literally no use being stated; the rest of your comment more or less has useful information so thanks I guess ^_^. I actually had used the search function and found nothing related to the matter and I was surprised so I made what I thought to be the only thread about it. I must have missed the time that they had patched that specific glitch but as I said people must have already figured out how to bypass it.....again. Im not qqing about "omg cloak op pls nerf" I think the device is amazing/fun. It really is. I just want it to work properly and /or not be bugged to hell. I can not be the only one that has seen this glitch or fallen victim to it. Just to reiterate; Not talking about the slight to large delay upon exiting cloak(the delay seems to change dependent on overall lag of the match) This is about fully cloaked individuals shooting whilst never decloaking due the swapping of equipment to weapon.

I'd rather have not seen the cloak come out but oh well. No one has died to that glitch for over 2 weeks.

Why not give us a proximity scanner module that we can attach to suits so we can at least spot them on the maps.

I'm colorblind though, so it didn't bother me at all since I can see cloaked players perfectly fine even if they're standing completely still 40 meters away. :D Everyone in Chechnya fell and died.
