 If every play must put some considerable SKILLING grind into it before they can even TRY OUT a cloak, then many players (myself among them) will be quite happy.
The hidden intent here is to retain the Cloak to be a viable piece of equipment that is used to help you access an objective, or dash across very short gaps of the map with less chance of detection or enemy interference. ItGÇÖs the kind of use a dedicated Scout player can value and will use pretty much for those purposes or very similar uses.
We donGÇÖt want a Cloak to be GÇ£the inviso gimmick crutchGÇ¥ that fertive timid players grab to compensate for not yet being able to face off against the loads of tough opponents in Dust. (You really need to be grinding-up, or learning the priceless support roles, or learning ways to coop with other players in order to gang-beat the tough reds who keep killing you when you're face him on your own).
We donGÇÖt want a Cloak to be GÇ£the inviso power exploitGÇ¥ that (anti-social, I theorize) fps surfers use just to impishly dance around each and every map, see how many victims they can rack up with their shotgun or ninja knives, while their team continues to lose half the matches and are left feeling as if GÇ£cloak-shottysGÇ¥ are undermining the core mission of this game.
GÇ£WeGÇ¥ means the devs too, not just many players. As you read this, you may be the kind of player who would NOT abuse the cloak feature, and you have my respect. But any one or more of the players who posted here could end up using cloaks in the tactic-less, truly damaging ways I just described. Whether accidentally or deliberately, lots of cloak users would only poison the general gameplay of Dust soon after they GÇ£tryGÇ¥ the cloak for the first time. A little goofy fun GÇ£cloaking and killinGÇ¥ is being tolerated right now... LOTS of goofy cloak use will only create a goofball un-fun game for others.
Being GÇ£delayedGÇ¥ from fitting a cloak is what has helped at least MINIMIZE the irritation we are already feeling from having cloaks in the hands of imp-players.
IGÇÖm sorry but I really wouldnGÇÖt want to see new players given full and open access to a cloak, fresh out of the academy.
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...
