I mean players in cloak that are at close distance can already be detected visually - cloaks do not offer 100% cloaking, especially if you are running, and even if you are holding still someone can aim at you and his aim-cross is changing color to red -
is this auto-aim/aim-assist really necessary to all of this CCP? It changes red but it doesn't sticky. Personally, until they make cloaks blue in all lighting sources I don't agree with making the reticle not red. How are we supposed to stop a player when the blue shimmer isn't visible as they sprint around. Fix the blue shimmer and fix firing a weapon while still cloaked and then we can talk about removing the reticle. My god damn PLC or Forge gun takes like 2 seconds from being fired before I can fire my sidearm, why can someone fire immediately before the cloak even wears off? Go play EVE online for at least week, then come back and tell me how cloaking suppose to work. Saying "go play eve" doesn't justify your cause, plus aim assist as its known is to help with the less accurate controllers on console games. And on a side note Eve is a sandbox space sim where auto aim is actually a thing since you have to lock on to your target so please take your logic and keep it to yourself.
Poor execusion, excellent point. Cloak in EVE is a wonderful thing. it lets you move about undetected. It's a tool for scouting out what areas are safe and what areas aren't. You can decloak to launch probes and have a variety of exploration option.
But you can't just immediately render and start shooting people. There is long delay (at first, mitigated by skill and ship) and you can use a bomb launcher in 0.0 but that's really the only option.
In DUST, the cloak is just as terrible as how he presented "go look at EVE."
You are very obvious when moving. It does not help you cross dangerous terrain.
It's basically just a gimmick. Good/Average players aren't going to have any trouble noticing the glowing outline moving about, but some the newer or terrible players completely lose track of them.
It's a predator's tool. The best application of it is to either camp a point or area people travel in frequently and then run away, or exploit the horrendously low frame-rate DUST has and confuse people by 'teleporting' while invisible only to end up behind them in the confusion and shoot them down.
The only useful part of it is the sense that it is an active dampener.
Then they nerfed the cloak. They nerfed the cloak the same way they nerfed the Active Scanners.
There was such an easy and obvious solution to the problem. . . and they went the opposite direction. Now it's Proto Gal-Logi with Scanner or Prototype Scouts with Cloaks and no one else (even within the suits' mentioned tiers) can use those Equipment with any effect.
If you can't keep up, shut up.
Math is easy, you're just stupid.
