Topic: Idea for CLOAK in game, epic implamentation! fresh idea

I had an idea for a cloaking mechanic in game.


2 Minutes spool up on beta and 1 minute spool up on Alpha.

Once it is active, you cant move. nobody can see you and you cant see anyone else.



Turn it off, back to normal and continue mission.



Discuss!!!!!



oh forgot one thing, your modules are inactive during the cloak time

no its not the same thing, if it were, it would probably be overpowered and not allowed...

Any way to break it?

easy.
1. start up a forum campain that its severe issue
2. use the sentence "drives away new player" to put more weight into it
3. make it look like there is no way to counter it, and  gurantees that the user does never lose his robot
4. make a suggestion which new mechanic needs to be added to PvP flags to balance this out.
5. keep bringing up the issue with all your alts and corpmates until its fixed


done.

game needs a cloak

I think that's too subtle for Hungarians.

Seriously though I do agree but what's the alternative? Perhaps a longer logout timer on pvp Islands?

Proverbs 23:20-21 warns us, “Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags."

Re: Idea for CLOAK in game, epic implamentation! fresh idea

Sounds like it would give plasma bombs a new use tongue
or are you also invulnerable to AOE damage while using this cloak?

I think it also needs a slight 15-20 second delay between reappearing on the terrain and being able to see people.

Can you tell me how this in anyway improves game play?By sitting there without moving. Then find all possible ways it can be abused before it's implemented. This is just a balancing headache.

My post is an analogy related to logoff metagaming.

Re: Idea for CLOAK in game, epic implamentation! fresh idea

Sorry but -1. Seen too many games where this is abused and is causing problems.

If you make someone log out , you win, be happy, stop being a kill mail *** smile

Re: Idea for CLOAK in game, epic implamentation! fresh idea

So no more tps, not allowed to log off, would you prefer if bots weren't allowed to move once you decided to engage too?

IMHO the best solution would be that no bot is removed from beta terrain upon logout or disconnect.
logoffski fixed, eternally. If you dont have time to drive your robot home before you log off - dont go to beta.

everyone will be happy, hole fixed, and the game population will grow.

Re: Idea for CLOAK in game, epic implamentation! fresh idea

yea sure.

move your fleet where you want it. cloak it.

put detector / bait into position.

when enemy is in positoion then decloak and *** feast.

even better then login trap because ingame coms are working and no delay from loging in.

im not surpived to see where that idea came from.
