I think we can all agree that we've had enough of shotgun scouts sneaking up on us unseen and shooting us in the back. Bringing cloaks to Dust was a big mistake and they must go. Sign below and leave a comment if you agree. |

ok but we should also take away racial dropsuits and weapons... a game that promotes racism and different methods to kill someone is wrong. They should limit everything to one medium suit and only AR. That way everyone has an equal opportunity to kill each other.
I like scouts because they go boom in 1-2 missiles... easiest way to gain WP. I vote for them to stay

We certainly do not. Though I do with the cloak was a tactical tool rather than a means to bum rush the enemy while visually cloaked.

I don't care if they're cloaked or not, I can still see them. Fix your eyesight.
I can also hear them, get better headphones. If you listen carefully, you can hear them walking around.

The problem isn't the cloak. The point of a scout is to be stealthy and sneak up on people but the problem is the range of the shotgun. Scouts should use their speed and stealth to get close and shoot u in the back but a shotgun that can basically shoot 20m defeats their role. Also ccp needs to limit the weapons scouts can use to shotguns and smgs as their primary and pistols and nk as their secondarys so scouts cant use the rr and cr and run as assaults. |

Typical pointless thread:
I don't like A therefore everyone else must agree that A should be removed from game. A happens in part because of B, therefore removing B entirely from the game will fix A.
I mean, who cares if there are better solutions than B or that complete removal of B will decrease overall balance worse than having B in game presents.
Who cares if B isn't the most significant part of the problem and that fixing C and D would go a long way towards creating better balance.
I mean, that would take some actual brain power and thought, rather than spamming ridiculous conclusions.

Do you guys not remember a time when we didn't have cloaks, Dust was a lot better game for it, I actually respected what scouts could do back then. Cloaked shotgun scouts are worse than snipers now, lowest of the low. |

Things done in the era B.R. (Before Rattati) are not to be admitted as evidence. Mistakes were made.
Getting vehicle variants back in the game is definitely on our radar as, to be real, easy content to get back. The art's in the game already, it's practically hotfixable.

After my respec last week I decided not to skill back into shotguns or cloaks thus my shotgunning fatties and unaware snipers has come to an end. And I feel better for it.
Anyway, I can see your point but for me it makes each battle more exciting. I'm over getting annoyed or frustrated now. Its not worth it. Plus I kill cloaked scouts in most matches haha |

I do not support cloaks being removed.
Although I will go to the grave saying that they should not be combat oriented.
3 second delay before firing, 3 second delay after firing/hacking before you can recloak.
They need to be for recon and covert operations. using the best innate e-war in all three aspects to made dust easy mode for you to shotgun people in the back or worse frisbee some re's hoping your prey won't hear the sound is just cheezy.
I lament PC now more than ever..
Scouts in 1.7 needed an e-war buff
Assaults with the commando bonus to damage + current bonuses and slots (minus cal assault and perhaps gal assault) fixes the problem of slayer logi's.
Heavies were fine in 1.7
Logi's with the nerf to reps and buff to assaults would have been fine.
The e-war game was better in 1.7 aside from scout needing a better advantage.

While I like the idea of a delay, I think a good 1 second where a scout is fully visible before they are able to use a weapon is plenty.
Anything more, and you make it too much of a liability. Remember, cloaks are not by and large completely invisible, whatever any of your half thunderbolt video making CPM brethren might say.
If a cloaked scout is spotted and engaged, 3 seconds is WAAAAY to long for them to return fire. Especially considering in such an instance they are already at a significant HP advantage. One second is already well beyond the TTK for most, if not all, dampened scouts.

Uncloaked =/= Visible
It would be a liability for offensive combat purposes. But for recon and the like it'd be fine.
And if you do get seen and engaged as a scout..you just run...that's precisely what happens in game in most situations.

While I do agree that scouts are the lowest of the low I don't agree that it is the fault of the cloak.
In general the only problem I have with scouts is how damn fast they are, the effective range of the shotguns, and how far they can throw remotes.
I understand that scouts should be fast but this has gotten little bit out of control. Add in even the smallest amount of lag and many scouts will simply disappear. Being a scout should be alot of picking off the stragglers and flanking the enemy but we see scouts running through mob of opponents and not getting touched. Add in how far they can throw a remote and you've got a real problem on your hands that is leading to scout spam.
I don't know what the solution is but there are bigger issues to deal with than the cloak.
I would start with the remotes tbh. I see them as a trap device you should have to stop and set derectly in front of you and not as something you throw. Right now they are functionally a remote sticky bomb.

When you are caught in the open, without any cover to run to, it is more a matter of desperation. It would be nice if we could speed tank and maybe be a little more evasive in the open, but I don't think that is a possibility.
I don't get where you are going with the uncloaked does =/= visible, can you elaborate?

Logi's with the nerf to reps and buff to assaults would have been fine.
The e-war game was better in 1.7 aside from scout needing a better advantage.
I don't mind cloaked scouts in and of themselves, but they have too many advantages at this point. Scouting was more fun before the buffs, it was a challenge that required you to take better angles and routes. Also bring back the volleyball agaisnt the wall sound for shotguns, that was terrifying on its own. If you heard that anywhere on the map you took notice.
Your game f'ing sucks, but I'll still play it, damn you! Turns out I wont.

the problem isn't the cloak, it is the fact that precision enhancors are not the same % as dampeners allowing any scout (not just the gal) to be unscannable with spare low slots(aside from cal), and same problem with active scanners

Also, on an note related more directly to the OP, don't need to remove cloak. Just change it so it's a tactical survival tool more than an assault tool. |

Sure and while we're at it, remove MInmatar Scouts. They're not scouts, they're assassins, something everyone explicitly hates in scouts.
Meanwhile in HAWKEN... *Scout class has rocket launcher and Heavy class Shotgun.*
Meanwhile in Star Wars Battlefront 2... *Bothans have cloak, flamethrower and remote explosives.*
Meanwhile in Crysis.... Meanwhile in Mechwarrior.... Meanwhile...
In all seriousness, the Cloak is just not performing as intended, and as such is being repurposed to fit said role.
The intended purpose of Clack was "an insertion tool, to get a scout reliably within range, or to traverse open terrain."
Currently it performs that admirably, however there is not enough drawbacks/limitations to limit the "instashotgunfromclack" gameplay that is going on now.

Anything more, and you make it too much of a liability. Remember, cloaks are not by and large completely invisible, whatever any of your half thunderbolt video making CPM brethren might say.
If a cloaked scout is spotted and engaged, 3 seconds is WAAAAY to long for them to return fire. Especially considering in such an instance they are already at a significant HP advantage. One second is already well beyond the TTK for most, if not all, dampened scouts.
Uncloaked =/= Visible It would be a liability for offensive combat purposes. But for recon and the like it'd be fine. And if you do get seen and engaged as a scout..you just run...that's precisely what happens in game in most situations. When you are caught in the open, without any cover to run to, it is more a matter of desperation. It would be nice if we could speed tank and maybe be a little more evasive in the open, but I don't think that is a possibility. I don't get where you are going with the uncloaked does =/= visible, can you elaborate?
If you get caught in the open..delay or no delay you're ****** unless you close the distance or win a strafe battle.
As for the uncloaked =/= visible, what i mean is exactly what i said.
Just because you're uncloaked doesn't mean you can't be in cover, unscanned, out of someone's FoV.
I never saw roner, or fusion, or catdog, or frost kitty, but they didn't have cloaks.
Cloaks should not be offensive combat oriented.

Cloaks are just another thing that hobbles Dust from ever reaching potential. All you people hoping for a PS4 port can forget about it. Consoles are for the casual market, and casuals are scared off by cloak users. Where do you find hardcore I-must-have-success-at-any-price-or-my-life-isnt-worth-living types? On PC of course.
Dust is already a hard game to learn. The maps are vast and unintuitive, theres a million different fittings and combinations, squads of vets who spend all day wielding Sentinel and Scout *K.0 proto fits vs new players in milita gear. On top of that, there are also invisible players who come along and kill people doing the most inoffensive things, like resupplying on a hive or manning a turret.
So should cloaks be removed? No, but as long as they stay, you should expect Dust/Legion to never reach its potential. Think about it. Lets say PvE happens in Legion. What will new players play? Fair and balanced PvE, or invisible douchebag vets shooting you in the back? Ive seen it happen in other games. PvE becomes the majority because PvP gets too frustrating.

There is a bit of a learning curve for this game, but it is by no means that encumbering. What does encumber is that you have to learn to exploit in order to play it which along with the imbalances kills any real strategic or RP aspects of the game. Strategy: exploit MM - Strategy: OHK player - Strategy: Highest Range/Dps Weapon - Strategy: turn off ps4

Um, consoles aren't exclusive to the console market, just as Dust as is infested with casuals (mostly due to the fact that it's F2P), we have a small community of 'hardcore' players.

Precisely this.
CCP Rattati is also looking into the possibility of extending the decloak delay to at least 1 second so that we can be sure there is enough to keep the scout from instantly firing the shotgun upon decloaking.

If anything the cloak needs to be improved. It is far too easy to see a cloaked person. It doesn't matter what race or abilities, the bright shimmer is very obvious to see.
Cloaked scouts are quite easy to kill since I always get the first few shots before they can uncloak and begin to fire.
Make the shimmer less bright and obvious to see. Hell even snipers can just pick them off as they run across the field.
If you think the shimmer is not bright then play with your screen settings. |

The delay doesn't matter because scouts are the leaders in dampening it is the reason scouts can opt to not use the cloaks at all. The difference is being actually and figuratively invisible which is no difference at all merely semantics.

A low enough dps that prey gets a chance to react is what needs to happen. I would rather see the delay removed and something like 90% dmg reduction when firing from cloak field that way scouts get a chance to expose themselves instead of just waiting .33 or 1sec. to ohk someone not that this would really addresses the issue either.
And that is why EWAR being looked into by CCP Rattati and his team. He's already hosting a topic on it. The EWAR changes along with the decloak delay will go a long way in improving the game.

Im a pretty big critic of how cloaking and dampening works in this game, but I dont think they should be removed. I think we need an actual counter to the cloak/dampening combo implemented in the game. Also I think the graphical effect on the cloak needs to be made more consistent so certain lighting doesnt make it horribly obvious and some lighting doesnt make it completely invisible.
If we're never going to get that counter though, yeah as a second option I'd rather not have cloaks in the game. |

Why do you spread this bull and try to influence people into wasting points on active scanners?
For anyone reading this: There is no active scanner or passive scan in the game that will scan a correctly fit scout. Not one. It is a waste of time to skill into these things if your intention is to reveal scouts.
Scout dampening is so dominant over scanning of any kind its rediculous, this is one of the big issues with scout balance right now. Scanning absolutely creams medium/heavy suits but has no effect at all on a properly fit scout except drive his hp down (which does not matter much for a scout who is being played by someone who isnt ********, so I dont want anyone crying about muh poor poor tiny hp pool being some huge drawback) |

They should have released the Bubble Shield instead. Just sayin'. "Cloak" translates to "Scrub" in Dust.

Actually, it's Shotty-Cloak = Scrub.
Nova Knives-Cloak = Minja in training.
Nova Knives without cloak = Hard Mode.
I used the bolt pistol before it was (OP) cool.
