Is cloak far too easy to see?
I use the cloak in some of my Ambush matches and I find it really helpful.
On the flip side though if someone tries to use a cloak against me it will not benefit them at all. I'm not a sniper; I play close-quarter and medium-range combat with the Assault Rifle. I am able to identify cloaked people moving around really easily even at far distances because I am very quick when it comes to observing minuscule changes in color pattern.
Also, the players in this game move at consistent speeds. If you sprint whatever character you are using will always run at the same speed until the stamina is depleted and then even when you are walking along your character is still moving at a consistent specific speed. Because of the consistent movement speeds of characters all I have to do is spot a cloaked person for a split second, just long enough to gauge his speed, and I am then able to imagine them moving across my screen allowing me to shoot that person without me truly being able to see them.
I have played a lot of matches where my teammates fail to identify at close-range a person who is cloaked and it blows my mind.
I guess it just depends on the person. Some people can focus on more minute details that appear on the screen than others. |

Are you dampened?
If you run a cloak as if you can be seen you will be killed less often. Ah I added dampeners and have found a little improvement.
Nice thread. Serves as a Feedback on the Cloak. The only thing that I didn't see discussed was the possibility that the new, more detailed rendering of objects that 1.9 has brought, is also helping SEE the tell-tale signs of a cloaked enemy better now.
Foehammer's explanation is the one I like the best.
Cloaks MUST stay hard to use, and restrictive---or else we're all going be swallowed by a cloak-epidemic in Dust.
It should be most helpful for sneaking from Point A to B or for avoiding getting into a shootout (a true Scout's needs).
It should be riddled with limitations and let you down alot if you only plan to use it for killing unseen and waiting to ambush bystandards (when you do that, you're really just using it as a Ninja assassin's inviso-trick--- yeah it's fun, but it needs to be kept to a minimum for the sake of the other players in the game).
Foehammer seems to understand this difference well----good for him!
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...
