The cloak makes you shine bright and blue on the screen. Not sure why the cloak makes you stand out so much.
Then to top it off it takes a stupid amount of time to pull out anything else. The nerf was way too much. You are essentially dead when someone sees your bright blue body running around and kills you before you can even try to pull out your weapon.
Everyone who wanted it nerfed only wanted it because they can not be bothered to pay attention to the screen, or were just upset because they died a couple times and freaked out about their KDR.
The Scout has very little reason to use the Cloak since it doesn't even cloak you. People have learned to look for that obvious bright blue shimmer and kill you quickly knowing you can not shoot back.
At the very least get rid of the blue lights that shine so bright while you move. |

Sorry to disagree...cloak is in the best place that it's ever been. People are actually using them for what tthey're supposed to be and it's effective at that. Players still cloak and disappear right in front of you and then around a cover.
So, it still works.

Can you please share the link where it says what they are supposed to be?
Thanks

There's just one thing about the cloak that needs to be tweaked:
Remove the switching delay when not cloaked, there is no reason for it on that occasion.

The delay is the most clumsy/frustrating mechanic in the game
the amount of times i've used the weapon wheel to select nova knives only to not actually switch to them yet still decloak is far too high

The only issue, I believe, is that the decloak delay also applies to equipment which is a slight pain when deploying uplinks - having said that I think it should apply to remotes but only because the remote activation delay is broke. |

think of it lore-wise. Cloaking allows the refraction of light making you "invisible". Now if you move,light refracts in all kinds of directions making you blue!
In all seriousness though you can't be fully invisible. Yes yes I know we're in a space age shooter that allows us to fire plasma and lasers but its physically impossible to be fully invisible

I was trying to point to the fact that you immortal in this game. Being invisible should not be impossible.
I personally will prefer if the HUD or whatever its called doesnt turn red when you have it on a cloaked clone. Some maps make cloaking useless

Theoretically that is not true though it is impossible to duplicate a mercs personality, memories, knowledge, etc. into a new clone. Technically all spawned clones should have the mentality of an infant. |

They only needed it because people weren't using it as it's suppose to. People would rather run around skip letters just to kill dudes. Before the nerf, I saw heavies hacking letters while cloaked scouts slayed. Now that it's nerfed, I act see scouts hacking **** while assault suits and heavies do the dirty work. The nerf was the right thing to do.

We're not immortal, we die left and right, we die and wake up in a new clone of our original body. Immortals never die.

If a scout is using their slots for armour rather than dampeners, then they should definitely have a red arrow above their head. You need to use sp and slots wisely to make suits viable.
And as for maps, some are no good for heavies, loads suck for snipers, some are better than others for Logis. You can't have one suit that's perfect in every situation, that's silly. |

You are wrong, even with dampners, the indicator goes red if you target correctly. Anyways its human nature to argue even if the truth is staring them in the face. And you are just repeating what I said: some maps dont make other equipment useless why should the cloak be? Anyways even if he moon fell and landed in front of someone who doesnt believe the moon exists, they will still refuse to believe.
PS Giving you the benefit of doubt, I was talking about turning red when you point your weapon at the enemy. I was not talking about tacnet or whatever the scan display is called. It has nothing to do with dampners

This particular point is fairly controversial from the feedback that I've gathered, Sam. One recurrent idea is that the scout effect reportedly turns up very differently depending on your television, and of course your distance from the screen.
I play a few feet away from a computer monitor myself. My experience in the past has been that seeing a cloaked person, and seeing them well enough to kill them, are wildly different metrics. During the bad ole' days without the cloak delay I would often see a cloaked scout's "shimmer", but the visual distortion was enough to make it pretty darn difficult to kill that guy if he just zig-zagged while running away. This part of the experience fueled my frustration, really, since I had essentially out-maneuvered the scout player by identifying his location before he had killed me.
My cloak advocacy reached its peak when the mechanism got touted as an alternative for covering open ground unnoticed by tanks and semi-distant enemies. The predator-style play it inspired before the nerf was terrible.

So, it still works. Except that they don't disappear.
If we disappeared, I could care less.
I become a little blurry in see through, but am still visible. On night time maps, I look like a little bright shiny guy running across a field. It gives me no protection, and when I am shot at, I have an incredibly awkward clunky delay to try and even begin to defend myself.
If you really think we "disappear" you should have no problem with them toning down the shimmer since you can't see it anyway apparently.
