Shiyou Hidiyoshi Ancient Exiles. 1043	Posted - 2014.11.03 20:55:00 - [1] - Quote Ari made an interesting point today on Skype. If scanner results will show up for the whole team, then how does the cloak receive a nerf? They will still be able to see everything while cloaked if someone on the team is scanning. In fact, if the scans are good enough then cloakers might as well drop range and precision enhancers and stack hp or other mods. This all of course depends on how many people scan on a team and if the scans are sufficient enough to counter the cloak nerf. Please be careful CCP - From an assault and non-cloaking scout "I don't always lock threads but when I do, I vigorously masterbait afterwards." - CCP LockingBro

Scouts = Better biotics, small hit boxes, capacity to visually cloak and fulfil assault roles, 2x equipment slots. GÇ£How does this all work then?GÇ¥ GÇ£Like so Choirboy.GÇ¥ Mila to Kador, Sub Zero Club, Shoashu Sasaanko

Cloak 2. Small target 3. Faster 4. Can hp stack a lot or semi stack with damps Fair point, however if the person is on scans then why would you need a cloak? You can see his direction and where he's facing. Same with damps, if someone is running a scanner for you then you'll see if the guy is rushing you and all you have to do is lob a core locus just as he turns the corner XD
DeadlyAztec11 Ostrakon Agency 5775	Posted - 2014.11.03 21:15:00 - [6] - Quote Good point. The Cloak will be easier to run than ever before. Put your flags up in the sky. And wave them side to side. Show the world where you're from. Show the world we are one.

The visual portion is practically useless. Put your flags up in the sky. And wave them side to side. Show the world where you're from. Show the world we are one.

Please be careful CCP - From an assault and non-cloaking scout This is only partly accurate. It will not really nerf slayer scouts. It WILL nerf infiltrating hacker scouts that do not run with their pack and hack far flung objectives and CRUs. Because apparently, we Minjas were super OP hackers. Also, I am glad people are finally realizing this, even if it is a few days late and I have been screaming the same things on the forums for days. 1.9 Where cloaked scouts give way to tanked scouts. Problem solved?

Vyzion Eyri The Southern Legion Final Resolution. 2511	Posted - 2014.11.03 21:32:00 - [11] - Quote A scout is more undetectable than ever but also more reliant on the team. Like you said, whether or not a scout can perform well now depends on how heavily a team supports him/her. Better than being without weaknesses when running independently. Your theory assumes everything TACNET says is true. But if enemy cloaked scouts get an 85% profile reduction bonus, then they're nigh unscannable, so assuming the enemies you see on the minimap are all the enemies in the area is a surefire way to get a pair of knives in your skull. > Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

They are not getting an 85% dampening bonus. They are getting an 85% scan range reduction AS WELL AS whatever dampening bonuses are already in place. IE, 5% off for advanced and 10% off for prototype.

I interpreted that as their signature profile is reduced by 85% when cloaked, please advise if I am incorrect. > Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
