This sounds awesome IMHO, and I don't even use scout suits.

For an active, you would just be constantly cloaked, maybe the active device could be like a cloaking bubble that could be deployable too, hide a medic in it or something.

This would infact be a cool idea for a passive cloaking module.

For passive, the movement from the suit generates a distortion or something that provides that passive cloak the "power" it needs or whatever to cloak the user. For lore purposes. Mods could include batteries or field enhancers to either A extend the time it takes to decloak or decrease the time it takes to charge up to cloak the user or provide better cloaking which will render the user more "invisible" with less distortion which could possibly give away the users position.

What is wrong with you people? Are you all so blinded by "cool" factors that you cant see an idea that would make something obviously OP? Let me tell you how cloaks would work if you could run with them, and if they worked better while running. A shotgun scout runs behind your line cloaked unbeknownst to any of your team. Said scout proceeds to decloak and start one-shotting your entire line from behind; scout then reloads. All of these actions amount to right around, or more than, the 10 second cooldown timer to reactivate the cloak. So now the scout recloaks and rolls off in the sunset, with their multiple 12% speed mods, untouched by anybody.

Furthermore, the lore and physics behind the idea are assinine. A cloak could function in a number of ways, but the most accepted methods are the bending of light as well as a kind of cameras and screen kind of thing where little cameras constantly display your surroundings on little screens setup on your person. In either of these methods moving faster would cause a huge disturbance in the effectiveness of your cloak. The bending of light around a moving object is hard enough, but it would grow more effective as the object moves faster? No. Even the cameras option, the cameras would not be able to project images fast enough the faster the object moves.

Please think about things before going "ewwwwwww, ahhhhhhhhh. Thats so cool, please make this item obviously OP."

As for the lore, that adapts to whatever works for gameplay, but in EVE a weakness of cloaking devices work in that if you get close to another object, it decloaks you. If we apply that logic to my version of the cloak, this means you become visible when standing still and visible if you get within X amount of metres of another player/vehicle.

How does applying that logic equate to stading still makes you decloak? Do you even see how faulty your logic is here? This seems to be a clear cut case of "its cool and I want it" or "I can benefit from it being made this way" to me. Youre not really thinking about game balance at all.

Edit: Furthermore, to point out how assinine your logic is, cloaks in EVE have movement penalties. So how do you apply that to your "moving faster makes you cloak better" BS.

I have however played a lot of online games with the traditional moving slow cloak, and it just doesn't seem suitable to the fast gameplay in DUST.

What I would like to see from you is an argument why the traditional form of cloaking, or your own version is more balanced, or superior. I mean it's fine to disagree with my idea, but at least put some effort into a constructive counter argument please.

We obviously arent playing the same game.




Ive already given you that, youre obviously just too ignorant to comprehend it.

I've seen in the blog a list of items to come, but one that wasn't listed was the plasma cannon shown in pictures released from a previous event, will this be a new weapon for the next build too.

H.D

"W" ... as in waypoints?

I would also like to be able to hack an enemy's drop uplink or nanohives.

How about begins with a "C"? As in "claymore" ... desperately waiting for these!

How would claymore be different to the proximity explosives?
