Now the strategy in this game is completely @#$%.
Element of surprise. Wow.
I going to say this at first I didn't minded as much when playing Skirmish and Domination. Every time, Moving to Objective or Defend Objective, Capping the Flag, or just walking tore the objective . Get kill by Shot gunner in close range, getting shot from behind, it ridiculous.
Then trying to shoot them, they go cloaked, Don't know where there going to kill u from, Option is, He Hide, Flank around, Or chase him down. Then boom your dead from behind.
It get ignoring as hell, And I don't know need someone on here to tell me just sucked up and adopt. U know for the people that play it they brag about there proto suit, logi suit and gear, how much ISK and SP in a hours spent.
CCP need to make a modules or weapon of some sort to counter it. Like Infrared scanning or heat seeker.
Yes I know I have look at cloak field in marketplace if some of u trying to tell me it only use for short period of time 15,30,40 second of use, and 10, 15, 20 second of recharging.
You wonder no new player will ever stay with this game long term.
If you see a proto scout shimmering running in the distance you can easily mow him down, learn to look for cloaked scouts and they will stand out more. I think it's brilliant that they are defenseless (when making journeys across open ground) but have raised another one of their stats, that's risk and reward. They run the risk of losing a suit without the instant ability to shoot back (especially if you are tracking one way outside of shotgun range) and their reward is the advantage when entering a firefight.
That's what the game is about, furthermore, if it's technology that exists within New Eden, then it fits here. It's futuristic, it makes sense, it's a sensible addition, I just don't think you quite know how to counter it.
And throw into your logic the fact that I went 61-3 with a STD scout with STD shotgun and 200hp without a cloak. Admit that the scout playstyle is easy sometimes, but also devastating, and a lot of the best players, are scouts. A lot of the time it's not that they were cloaked, it's that they were better than you. And if they were better than you, they'll be able to destroy with no cloak without a problem, then what will you say? Say scouts are the problem? If you keep passing the blame, then you only have yourself to blame.
Also, use a cloak yourself, it's like being underwater, you can't hear anything, there is an additional risk right there. I love the feeling that running around cloaked gives me, it's stealth, it's a new technique to add into the gameplay which makes dust a more diverse game, you don't just run around and shoot each other.
I have embarrassed cloaked scouts before, because they thought the had the advantage, but they didn't. They were outside of range, they stand out cloaked, and sometimes they're helpless, it's like killing a heavy who is crossing open ground, they can't do anything about it, just learn to position yourself. Scouts will creep up on you, so don't camp, don't stay still and use a surround sound headset if you have one.
What's the saying, adapt or die?
