People who are cloaked aren't that hard to spot when on the move, in fact they might be easier to spot with that shiny silhouette. I was able the snipe a shimmering spook from across the map, nail one with a bolt pistol who tried to "sneak" past me, and it dawned on me that the cloak isn't really that effective. I use it myself, though the only way it can be used effectively is when you're standing still. I feel there needs to be a little more mobility.
I suggest that the shimmer effect be made visible depending on how fast you move and the distance you are to someone. Fast movements make your shimmer visible to people you're farther from, slower movement helps you get by enemies close to you and sneak up on them, stopping makes you invisible at point blank range unless someone bumps into you. Bumps(and flux grenades) make the cloak turn off. The trick will be judging distance and movement speed with the limited cloak you got.
If this sounds like something worth experimenting with then lets get a few test moduals out with different Movement Speed vs Distance settings and figure out which would be best. |

Thank you all for your time. After looking over your views on the subject, I've gotten the point that even though my suggestions sound reasonable, they could still have more negative effects than positive. Which is why I scraped in favor of something simpler, more restrictive, but still frees up a little more movement. |

Surprisingly, this actually seems like an easy to do middle ground that offers "room to move" without allowing full on sprinting to the cloak. I know it's not what the OP wanted exactly, but it does accomplish the goal in an easy-to-implement way. It does seem to be a TOUCH strong though. PROPOSAL:Create a new shimmer effect just for walking speed that goes unnoticed more easily.
Yeah, the old idea of distance vs speed has been scrapped. Went with something else that won't be frowned upon as much...as much |
