Cloak

[cgj26]

Will Cloak every be fixed or if not it should be replaced with mind trick on all classes that use it like Clone Assassin on mb2_jeditemple or mb2_commtower?

 

[Tempest]

When you say fixed what exactly do you mean/have in mind?

My guess for what he means is that cloak is basically useless, it's still very easy to see someone who's "cloaked".

 

[cgj26]

yea Cloak is not cloak at all
I pretty sure the purpose is that only jedi with sense can see you but this cloak is like halo like x10

The cloak ingame is not suppose to give you complete invisibility, that's what mind trick is for.
The purpose of the cloak item is to utilize the shadows on the map to avoid detection or skillfully avoid being seen until you're close enough to attack. At least with the Clone assassin class and droid assassin. Sense just makes them easier to see, but without sense it's harder to see the player attacking with their dual blades.

Maybe removing the sound the cloaking device makes could make it a little less bad.

The thing is, that clock is more for camping / making traps, not for rushing B( enemy's) most of times. Imho, someone has to distract opponent for succesfull cloak use. Maybe, try to change your playstyle?

 

[cgj26]

Well Randoms helping Randoms barely happens in game. Also most maps arn't very good for hiding only big one and most people will ghost/call time waste on you if you camp.

Well you say that but in the Padawan training room if you turn the lights off people can still see you

I find it useful when fighting gunners. It's a lot harder to aim at a strafing figure with no crosshair indicator assisting you

But Gunner are on a few maps with Cloak but most have melee

 

[Noob]

@cgj26 Ok... Jedi temple, and.... what others am I missing that have cloak but no gunners on the opposite team?

I only know of 2 maps that have cloak since people only pick a few maps in FA

 

[Megatron (The Shredder)]

Cloak appears on a few maps:

1. Jedi Temple (Clone Assassin)
2. Kamino (Assassin Droid)
3. Echobase (General Veers)
4. Battle Over Coruscant (Commander Cody)
5. Fule Depot (Rebel Spy)
6. Mustafar (Clone Medic)
7. Doomgiver (Shadow Troopers)
8. CIS Labs (Specimen X88)

etc. . .

Yeah, and only one of those is restricted to fighting saberists. I personally think cloak is fine. Thanks for the list @Megatron (The Shredder)
