and yes I will call bullshit when it should be called. Everytime.

You suck monkey asses and eat rhino turds, and you don't know anything.

I lol at this statement, as a matter of fact I point the finger and laugh in your face.

@ OP cloaked scouts are not a problem, its you. Even if there was no cloak your passive scans wouldn't have seen them behind or beside you. Quit your whining and train yourself in situational awareness. I play all roles and the only role that needs something tweaked is the assault. People like you break the game with this nonsense instead of fixing it. "I can't counter so it's the game. NERF NERF NERF"

Its not being butthurt. Second one does hacking become a scout only roll. The cloak is OP and no matter how many come to the cloaks defense it will be until there is a way to counter it without the use of another scout.

My max scout speeds are above 10 m/s. I don't know where you're getting your info.

You have a game client and I have a game client and there is a server in between.

Let's say that it takes ~500ms for your game client to send info to the server, and ~500 ms for the server to send info to my game client.

Your distance from me, time elapsed, information whereabouts

22m, 0ms, your client
18m, 500ms, server
12m, 1000ms, my client (you appear on TACNET to me)
you pull the trigger and bang I am dead

In this way, there is a fringe of invisibility in TACNET, determined by the relative speeds of objects surrounding the player and where information is being processed and how long packets take to travel from network location to network location.

its called doing the math......percents are something i learned by the 5th grade....if you can't do the math the you need go back to school or stay in school.

Nono, dont put words in my mouth. I never said hacking was a scout only role.
HACKING ALONE is.

You think the cloak is OP!? USE IT!
YEs run around in a 200-500HP scout and FEEL the HMG...XD

But dont worry,you'll do fine.Its so Op you will surely start going 30-3 with ti.

GG Calvin.

Mr. Calvin b is right, and we all know it. Like the flaylock pistol before it, the cloak is being abused?! There is no fixing this item, however?! Unless we are able to scan cloaks, they need to be removed. Cool trick, but it has obviously worn out it's welcome. Why this even needs to be explained is beyond me smh?! Those here who run cloaked scouts are here just trolling this forum?! You, most of all, know full well running cloaked scouts is a walk in the park. You should be ashamed, but your the type of guys who just wanna win easily?! Scouting in this game, for the first time ever, was a skill before the cloak. Now it's just a bunch of guys who got killed by assaults taking their revenge lol! Sure you die occasionally, but let's be realistic just a little here?!

To come to this forum, and say scouting is balanced is the same as tankers coming here 2 weeks after 1.7 saying tanks and AV are balanced?! Scouts are in a class of their own entirely! No assault player can hang with them! Heavies are shooting at everything, and not hitting the scouts at all?!

Now as an amatuer scout I will tell you Mr. Calvin b that if CCP wants to give the cloak to the scouts they might as well use it, but real scouts don't need cloaks. If you are good at scouting the cloak is overkill in all honesty. Soon, with a wing and a prayer, the scouts will see more balance with hotfix charlie and have to choose between dampening, precision, speed, and protection like the rest of us. Currently they can do it all, and cloak?! That isn't balance scouts?! Remember 1.7, and how tanks made the game impossible for you.

Instead of trolling anyone who states the obvious about the cloak, how about showing them how practical it is. Suggest some fixes toward imbalance, and help the community understand why you do indeed need the cloak. Alot of you have this "can't beat em join em" mentality that will have everyone in a scout by tomorrow morning if it was up to you?! I implore you to remember why it is that we stopped playing call of duty to play dust in the first place? Diversity, versatility, and customization! The FOTM mentality mustn't shape this game. If that's the case, and I just need to do like everyone else, then I want a respect every time a new weapon drops?! It's absurd right? I want to specialize, and I can't do that if I have to waste points on something I don't run to keep up with the game?!

Let's be clear! Nerfing all rifles to fix the fact that the rail rifle and combat rifle was OP didn't work?! That's why the AR got a buff! It, along with the rest of the gallente weapons, are mediocre at best. Dropping everything along with the OP weapons still made the OP weapons OP smh?! If you keep giving amazing evidence to the community as to why the cloak is not needed it will get axed whether you like it or not geniuses?! CCP rattati isn't for imbalance, and if you guys haven't noticed already? He has the reigns on things right now, and he's gunning for balance!

Cloaks are fine except the ability for them to get off shots before the effect drops. A shotgun from an invisible enemy to the face is hard to survive unless you're in a heavy suit. It's not particularly hard to see a cloak even motionless in your LoS, if so just go watch predator a few more times...

Cloaks don't make people invisible.

I die plenty while cloaked, and kill plenty while they are cloaked.

It is not the problem you think it is.

Im still unclear how the cloak is being abused while being used as intended......a scout ( the real only suit that can fit it without loss of everything else ) usee it to move around the field and get into position while being undetected.....that's abuse?

The cloak is just about useless unless its at proto level because it has sh!t dampening at standard and advanced levels not to mention that with the low timers on them they can't be used to go from one side of the map to the other.

The only problem is that a sentinel suit has sh!t for passive scans so they can't see anything else but another heavy, unless they stick with their squad and uee the shared tacnet. A solo heavy running around should be nothing more then a moving target for anything else on the map.

they made it so weapon switch there is a delay but if the cloak just runs out there is no delay........as far as i was told

I like the cloak, I think it adds an interesting dimension to the game.

It seems to me that you may be too dependent upon your eHP. For that you pay a price in speed and maneuverability, which is working as intented.

I think you should improve your situational awareness, team work, visual acuity, aim accuracy and anticipation, etc.

I'm definitely not in favor of removing a cloak because they are effective against Heavies. That's a reason to KEEP the cloak.

I do have an issue with Remote Explosives being tossed like grenades (but without any audio cue and very hard-to-see visual cues). That seems like a broken mechanic to me. And Scouts should not be able to fire while cloaked (which is the intent but in practice it still seems to happen somehow). So these 2 points I'd address, but certainly the solution is not to get rid of the cloak, IMHO.

I hope your doing well, second yes I am ball of anger that is why I like to run heavy it allows me to wade into Hell and kill as many as I can before I succumb to the dreaded frame rate drop. Just letting everyone know I do not like to lose and I am a tryhard.

p.p.s. Calvin, you still running primarily solo? If so, I suspect that may be, at least in part, why you're taking a bit of a hard line on cloaks. I think you'll find that if you're in a good squad with a good gal logi or passive scanning cal scout, you won't die nearly as much to cloaked scouts. That doesn't mean there's no problem, because there is, but rather that you may be getting the short end of the stick, so to speak, because of running solo (if you're still doing that).
