Cloak

[zartanyen]

Can you use cloak to get a guided rocket off of you or no?
Example someone locks on to me and shoots a guided rocket if I use my cloak after the rocket has been fired will it still track me or not ?

I'm Curious, I would like see if the developers can possibly give us a Percentage, of how many players used cloak? I'm sure a few of you out there would like to know as well...? Maybe "Oveur" (Nathan Richardson. VP Dev). can provide that information.??? I just got a Email from him after all? P.S. I would like to thank all of the 150 people who worked on this project..!!!

Cloak + Shotgun is the only thing people do in PvP because they can't aim for **** with any other guns. I love using Overcharge and having some cloak moron unload on me from behind and I just turn and 1 shot him. Cloak is for the newbs who need to get the jump on people in order to have a chance.

If everyone is using cloak, then you should have no problem leveling up. Bonus for you Right?

So what is the sense of having cloak, if it is utterly useless....

Cloak isn't useless, at a distance your virtually invisible to the naked eye. Closer ranges show a glassy figure of yourself, thus easier to spot you. Dealing damage reveals you temporarily, but you can easily hide while re-cloaking to avoid being revealed by gunfire or other types of attack.

Played a bunch of PVP last night, and yeah, cloak has an upper hand over all other powers in PVP. Nearly 90% of all players seem to use cloak+shotty and I'm going to yell "over powered" on this one. Sure, you can combat it and it's not an "I win button", but it's not far off.
I'm sure someone will defend it saying it's balanced because whatever, but the reality is every other power requires a lot more strategy to use than just running behind people and go "BOOM" over and over again. I use decoy with the radar sweep as my own personal form of Defiance against the cloak shotty masses, but it's usefulness is limited and even with perks the cooldown can't keep up with the cloakers.
Over time perhaps I'll get better at countering the cloak+shotty crap, but it's does ruin PVP to an extent where more than half the time all the enemies are cloaking. Nothing ruins a multiplayer game more for me than having to basically face the same kind of player over and over again because no one is willing to take risks or get creative with their play style.

My question is, how good is cloak. Let me be more specific. Can you see me, at all?

There is a perk for Decoy users that negates Cloak entirely. Not sure if it's only when the decoy is active or if it's an always on passive bonus. Think it's called Scanning Range or something.

Cloak was not designed for a run n gun build, it was designed for a sniping build: Take your shot while cloaked, recloak and line up another shot, etc.

Regardless what it was built for, it actual practice it favors the shotgun. If anyone actually used Cloak with sniper I'd have more respect for it. Why worry about lining up a long distance shot when you can just sneak up and spam the shotgun and kill more effectively?
