But shouldn't the profile dampening bonus increase with each unlocked tier?
Wouldn't it make more sense for a STD clack to grant a 5% dampening bonus, 10% for an ADV, and 15% for Proto?
The flat 25% profile dampening bonus for all tiers seems a bit high, right? If these changes were made, I feel it would encourage current clack users to skill past the STD variant.
It would also make make scanning undampened scouts easier. By doing this, any Scout who wishes to be truly stealthy would need to invest into Profile Dampening, equip complex dampeners, and use a Proto Cloak.
What are your thoughts? I hope you'll agree and for those who don't, why won't you? |

I use to play with these as a kid. I would sometimes do the clacking so vigorously that the balls would crack.
Sounds wrong but yeah. |

However I do agree that the dampening bonus may need tweaking. EDIT: Also bear in mind the only scouts that can fit a cloak comfortably is someone skilled into that scout to level 5. It's a struggle to fit even a basic cloak on a scout at level 3.
Scouts already have the advantage when equipping clacks. Forcing them to skill higher up would just even things out and stop commados and logis from using it as well.
If a player with Scouts at 1 wants to be an effective assassin, then his or her SP investment for the future should be towards profile dampening, Scout suits, and clacks.
Are you seriously fine with STD Scouts running around, 2 shotting heavies with a shotgun and clack with minimal skill investment? Such humiliation on the heavy's part should be reserved for at least ADV Scouts.
Things should not come so easy. Everyone wants to be viable without spending the time and dedication to carefully plan out their skill trees. This should change.
All we want now is instant gratification and that desire ultimately leads to things failing. |

So, what's the problem? If your assault suit is capable of sneaking up on heavies, why is my viewpoint so hard to agree with? If an assault without a cloak can pull this off, why can't the same be said about an uncloaked scout?
The cloak should be supplemental to the scout role, not its bread and butter. A few changes here and there to the cloak should not affect the playstyle of a scout. |
