Developer Notice: Cloak Changes Trial Phase

[Sath]

Any guy who has some basic knowledge knows how to evade a VHF for 30 seconds. k?

So basically if someone says the truth, then it is crocodile tears. gg

[lIceColon]

Thought: how about making cloaks work like in crysis - quick charge, 0 power drain when motionless/drifting, increased power drain porportional to speed and maneuvering, and cloak loss on power depletion.

No atmosphere? GTFO.
The propeller is the greatest invention of all time.

Can you code that?

The one thing I've agreed with Igiss, cloaks shouldnt have been introduced in the first place, but here is not the place for that. We are talking about balance. 30 secs charge on light cloaks thats all. The rest seems fine.

I smell VHF addict from whom cloaked bomber escaped now he is crying his CROCODILE tears out because the easy prey didn't want to give him blue message, so sad *sniff* *sniff*.

Sure I can agree with that propostion but in turn, give immunity to be countered by CD spam. So you get 30 seconds to kill unshielded bomber in your VHF, or you can cry your crocodile tears again because you didn't managed to kill that easy prey within 30 seconds.

EDIT: Oh and I forgot to mention, give Light Cloak infinite duration, because 30 seconds charge, and Light Cloak lasts a bit longer than 30 seconds.

30 seconds isnt enough to kill a bomber with full regens and etc. I dont know in which sirius have you been living, but it is not this one for sure.

Wrong question. the correct question is "Can anybody code that?"

and the answer might be yes.

"Would anyone care to try and code that?"

perhaps, since it could be a cool feature
anyway please place your comments on this shiny new thread I made, since its a bit off topic and not directly related to chat being disabled for cloaks.

So I hit the spot, still 30 seconds to charge cloak which lasts 42 seconds for example can be CD spammed? Now honestly do you think its fair to people who paid that cloak a lot and sacrificed valuable piece of equipment for something useless?

Put your finger on your head and think about it for a second. If you have any sense of equality and "fairness".

Cloaks werent designed in vanilla for escape, but to spy and stealth engage, why is it so complicated in disco?

My question wasn't wrong, It wasn't "anybody" who came up with the idea, it was you. Coming up with a vague idea isn't too hard, all it requires is a faint hint of creativity. ("I want cloaks work like in Harry Potter. I don't know how it can be done, but it would be cool.") Come here with a well ironed-out concept you know is possible and with a well defined plan on how to implement it, how about that?

Were there cloaks as an actual gameplay element in vanilla at all? I don't remember being able to buy any throughout the campaign.
