Lightning35 Delta514 48TH SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCE 179	Posted - 2015.02.15 15:03:00 - [1] - Quote CCP-you HAVE to make them more invisible. I am playing RIGHT now and have died 5 times just running through a field. 3 people shooting me. Any can see cloaks running in most maps. There is really.... No point in them. I am running around people and most can see me. " how do you know they can?" Well, I have 3 enhanced kincats on a gal scout, running as fast as il they can take me. I can hear at least 5 different weapons either hit me or fly by me. What's the point of cloaks now? Make them harder to see by toning down the color of them. Make them more "invisible". This will also help with spawn camping. By the way, what's up with warlords? My PS3 is freezing now and I just got a "fatal error-quit game" message. 48th Special Operations Force.

What do they do, find me. They still kill. They can see me. Attentive or not. HECK I've run through GROUPS of clocked scouts. And they kill me cuz I'm a lone wolf. The point is that they can see me and I can see them attentive or not. Cloaks need more invisibility. 48th Special Operations Force. "As a team or alone, I dominate the battlefield."

Them being easier to spot in darker areas is what we educated players like to call, a situational weakness. So its perfectly ok that certain roles are entirely null and void just because you got Ashland on a dark map? Bullsh*t. There isn't a single map that is entirely open with no walls or structures that would negate heavies. No map that completely negates all tank and vehicle usage. No map or setting that completely negates Logi usage. No map that prevents Assaults from assaulting. Just the other day, my team was getting stomped on Ashland on a dark map. I pulled out my hacking scout, which is 200 HP, ran and hacked and gave my clones and ISK for death just to make the attempt to make the game playable and competative, and was largely ineffective because of the shimmer. I will reiterate. No other role gets completely negated by a mood, not one other. These aren't slayers you are negating, as those largely have ditched the cloak, and most of my fits no longer have them. What you are negating are legitimate roles that shouldn't be limited just because the entire map is dark. Former CEO of the Land of the BIind. Any double entendre is unintended I assure you.
Talos Vagheitan Ancient Exiles. 952	Posted - 2015.02.15 17:19:00 - [9] - Quote I kinda like the mechanic (even if it was unintended) of avoiding the shadows while cloaked. Makes for pretty interesting stealth play. I feel you should still be forced to be stealthy even while cloaked; the point of it isn't to be completely invisible while sprinting through open areas. Having said that, I would like to see more variance on the amount of shimmer depending on speed. IE: The shimmer should get brighter the faster you're moving (up to the current level shimmer when moving). This would at least allow people to crouch and move slowly and stay much more shrouded than they can now. Who cares what some sniper has to say. CCP, let's push for the license of Dust/Legion on both current Gen consoles!
Pocket Rocket Girl Psygod9 304	Posted - 2015.02.15 17:31:00 - [10] - Quote they could have had a GK0 scout with much better ewar than you i mean you did say you had kin cats which prevent you from using dampers. just because you died 5 times doing the same thing over and over dosent mean that cloaks need a buff if thats the case then my HMG has a ***** of a time getting through caldari shields so i want a damage bonus for my HMG to compensate for it or i could try to smarter, i bet you were trying to remote some one too Sir Dukey- If one person is smart he should be able to keep vehicle at bay but not destroy it unless its a stupid driver

Vulpes Dolosus Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 2986	Posted - 2015.02.15 17:55:00 - [11] - Quote The only thing that needs changed with the cloak is the switching time. Before you start, THERE SHOULD BE A DELAY BETWEEN BEING CLOAKED AND ATTACKING, but the band-aid fix of increasing the swap time makes accidentally pulling out the cloak a pain. Dust is there! I was real! Dear diary, Rattati senpai noticed me today~

The reason I posted it today and in an open area es because its RIDICULOUS the amount of times someone spotted me- from 130m + - by so many people. Only way to get close to objective was by cloak because other team had a squad of snipers and our team was pushed back to mcc/cru. 48th Special Operations Force.

I wish I had tho. I was running knives but that had nothing to do with it. I was at least 150 m from objective. Enemy had full control of it. It's the open area map so the only way to get near the objective was to run cloak. I was to far to be scanned, yet rail rifles and scrambler rifles were shot at me many times. The problem is the shimmer. It's to bright. It needs to be toned down a bit to give more "invisibility". Of course not to the point that no one will see me, but at least to the point that someone would have to be at 40m or less to see me running. 48th Special Operations Force.

Buwaro Draemon WarRavens Capital Punishment. 1026	Posted - 2015.02.16 00:01:00 - [17] - Quote I barely get killed when I am running my MinScout with a STD Cloak when I'm cloaked. Maybe you are running way to close to your enemy? Changes to Damage mods!

In day light was when I died so many times. I kept trying to run around, but anyone can see me. That map was a Dom with one of those buildings that have ladders on all 4 sides. I suggest you try running the same fit without a cloak. I think you will find it is far from useless. It you still think it remains useless, dump it and use the extra fitting space to make your suit really good and you can then be a proper scout. Because, that's why.

I also often don't see a cloaker until they uncloak. I'll admit to some bias though, I think cloaks are the worst thing to intentionally be added to this game. Because, that's why.
Varoth Drac State of Purgatory General Tso's Alliance 584	Posted - 2015.02.16 00:54:00 - [22] - Quote Getting spotted whilst cloaked happens too often. It does get very frustrating and makes you wonder why you equipped a cloak in the first place. It doesn't need a huge change, just some reduced shimmer.

Its not there to make you invisible, its there to make you LESS visible. The whole map was an open field. Whats your point? You seem to think that the cloak should give you immunity to people seeing you, but that was never its intent. The point is to make you less noticeable, which it is very good at. Things cloaks do: Makes you hard to shoot consistently while moving (weapon flash/kick will make staying on a moving target much harder if they are cloaked) Makes you much more likely to be ignored if someone is engaged in doing something else (i.e. shooting at one of your teamates) Makes you much more likely to not be seen if you are flanking at a medium/long distance Makes you (specifically you, Lightning35 Delta514) think you are supposed to be able to run across an open field while 3 people are on the other side of it not doing anything but watching that open field. Things cloaks do not do: Make you invisible so you can run across an open field while 3 people are on the other side of it not doing anything but watching that open field. Make you able to run around right in front of people without being noticed. Make you entirely invisible. P.S. there is no map that is entirely made up of open field, with the debatable exception of some areas of manus peak ambush, which has plenty of cover and folds in the terrain to hide your movement, so even then you are full of it.
