Yeah the new facility was a bit of a shock to get my head around. Got lost a hell of a lot. Interesting design, though it really screws over snipers with arbitrary walls seemingly designed to only annoy them specifically.
As much as we get frustrated at redline snipers putting some good areas open to sniping from the side of the map wouldn't be inappropriate. Went over to one place and realised that of the three levels of the facility I could only fire at people at one specific location for that entire region of the map.
Though watching ADS fly through the facility is pretty funny and kinda cool.
We'll bang, OK?

Perhaps I should jump on this weekend I might have some free time to actually play this weekend. That way I can see how 1.9 feels, perhaps I can get lost in the new outpost like I did the first time in the GAL research facility....oh good times and those exit signs were my saving grace.
I'm thinking in terms of road-map; don't think we can pitch improvements quite yet. Perhaps soon.

Though watching ADS fly through the facility is pretty funny and kinda cool. First time i that beast was a DomGǪ So much fun running around in little mazes of doors and catwalksGǪ then i found this spot Went back to it with a SRGǪ popping domes was great inside the socket. It was level with the higher main routes that the reds were using. And since the blueberries were frontal on them they did not notice me right away. 18 headshots and then someone levelled a RR at me (yes it was close enough to be a problem)GǪ i just backed upGǪ activated inertial damps and was gone before they could sort out where I went
In other news I got a couple games in last nightGǪ I don't mind this cloak change, but it is in line with the way I was using my cloak before. Llast had a bad match, and a few good ones. Delay did not change much of anything for meGǪ still sucide run as much as before so
KelcGǪ I only got two matches in one Dom and one FW Dom is pretty much hit and run outskirts fighting for me, mostly hacking and disrupting in a tightening spiral. Cloak works to cover those open areas, being slightly less visible helps. But I am only engaging when I have my back covered and people are not likely to see me anyway. If my knives had not been so hot they would have been dripping clone goo. FW was a slaughter despite the Amarr side having a squad of Lord British. That squad put up a fight, but only for the first half of the match. Heavies in LAVs kept trying to take outside pointsGǪ I had a collection of three Red LAVs in front of my D at one point Hurt a HAV bad but not destroyedGǪ Proto Heavy got out to recallGǪ Core Flaylock kill at the end of the match 8 Knife kills 1 FlaylockGǪ I literally killed every Red that I saw. The only Blue I saw Shot me with a Militia Plasma CanonGǪ I don't even know whyGǪ if he was AWOXing he was doing it badly

Decloak/Fire Delay, Day II
Over an unhealthy number of matches this morning, I'm pleased to report that I experienced no issues whatsoever with control behavior. The delay took a 'bit of time to get used to, but it feels pretty natural at this point.
Occasionally, I'll select the the wrong EQ via weapon wheel. If I wanted an RE and pulled up cloak, then I have to wait two seconds to switch (without ever having activated cloak). That's kind of annoying, but it isn't game breaking.
Bumping into another cloaked scout is alot of fun now. The dynamic has totally changed. Used to be an either "Instant Strafe Off!" where the guy with the best wiggles, most HP or finest fine rifle would win or "Shotgun Duel!" which was always a toss up. Now, you've got options. When I'm in a speed fit, I often continue sprinting right past 'em, then check my six after a moment. More often than not, they pursue. And when they pursue, they're so stinking obvious about it. Thank you, shimmer. This doesn't end well for them.
Also of note, I've not been invisi-blasted a single time. I have witnessed hostile Scouts firing while decloaking. They weren't invisible (or I wouldn't have noticed).
I agree with what Ghost said yesterday in that nothing really has changed for "Scoutly Scouts" with this change. Just decloak well in advance of needing your gear. Do use cloak to cross open terrain or move between cover. Do not use cloak to "rush in" like a ham.

This is probably a little crazy and difficult to implement, but how about decloaking affects the consciousness, vision or aiming ability of your clone in some way? Like seeing doubles or your aim sways a ton for a few seconds. That would prevent most conventional weapons from being effective for a moment or two, but still allow the nova knives to do their job. That would reinforce their niche a little bit and encourage sneaky scouts to use them if they want to dig into their role a bit more.
Only problem is I don't see it affecting the shotgun enough to be a substantial nerf to that, so I dunno.
Edit: I meant for this idea to be in conjunction with the hypothetical cloaked bonuses, not as a change on its own.

Stupid fast is both fun and effective in the city.
Just have a damp fit ready for when the scanners come out. Normally you can get a good 10 kills before that.
Then you switch and surprise them with your "Only slightly slower" damp fit.
80% of the time, they rage quit every time.

Yup, G is grenades. It's binary, either yes or no (because of limitations on having multiple or something along those lines) The third number stands for Equipment, so the Scotsman gets three and so on.

News: I recently ordered The Bigger Blacker Box for Cards Against Humanity and it arrived today.
Holy shit it completely and utterly dwarfs the original box. It also came with The Box expansion, which is already my favourite expansion because all but one card is to do with boxes.
That last one is Pandora's Vagina.

It is not even winter, and we are getting mid winter weather in southern Ohio.
Its like Winter just went from the pick up lines straight to the penetration. It didn't even bother to buy us a drink or take us out to dinner.
