No more stealth flash

[Newheart]

Logging in after a couple months I see theres a big delay on the stealth flash now. It used to be around a second and now theres a 5 second delay on the cloak. I do not see this as any reasonable change for anyone other than folks with MBT's complaining about getting tapped out. It seems odd to me the largest whiners in this game get the changes from dev's to adjust balancing on their behalf. This is one of dozens of balancing issues Ive noticed over the years which seems way off key and adjusted for the benefit of a few. Anyone else know of any neg changes concering vehicles?

Mayhaps because similar to (nearly) every other aspect of this game, it requires skill and being able to think in tension. I am not claiming that you are not, I am just stating that different tools go to different puzzles, you wouldn't use a hammer to tigthen a screw, without breaking something, or even everything...

Also,

This is to prevent players from sticking to a singular aspect of the game, and leading to it being over-used, killing the flavor and diversity of the game. Yes, it is sometimes tedious to change your entire gameplay-strategy, but would a game where everyone uses the same equipment be fun? No, it would just be a game of luck and randomness...

die stealth flashes and their friggin stealth people die

i could complain about the same reason Magic the Gathering bans entire previous sets of cards for tourny play. "they just want more money" "they dont like people playing the same way for long periods of time"

in the end though? its to prevent the infinite variable which in a card game is comperable to an unbalanced aspect within the system. this is why C4 got a detonate delay as well. stealth delay on the crotch rocket prevents people abusing lag by unstealthing, shooting and stealthing again immediately and basically not being seen the entire time.

so, either nut up and adjust your tactics, or cry more about nothing important.

How do you kill maxes with C4 now? I dont see any maxes with that low awareness.

i do not understand why there has to be cloaking at all in this game

[JuiceySpice]

I think there should be a cloak delay, but reduce it from 5 to 3 and get rid of losing 25% of cloak while recloaking.

They could also do a mixture where the amount of cloak lost is dependent on how you were uncloaked. For eg instaneous cloak decloak would take a high percentage, but every second after the decloaking would drop it off to eventually zero

I was on just yesterday, I can't even tell there's a difference. Works fine for me.

Sounds like a good idea (despite the fact I still likely wouldn't notice it).

People should just killing anything that moves without a tag.
or learn to drop mines here and there ;)

Because it is an MMO RPG and stealth play is a major aspect in that sort of thing?

A couple months ago decloaking and cloaking again could be done instanteously, Now there is a mandatory 5 second timer before you can cloak again and whenever you cloak it drains 25% immediately

Uncloak behind cover for a few seconds then engage in a fight after cooldown. I think the delay is too much of a nerf for sealth flash. Because you can still see a stealth flash up to 85 meters away due to the obvious shimmer. In reality you are taking on tanks with a engine block on wheels. So expecting the Fallout 4 thing where everyone worships you and tells how great your are. Is the wrong mindest for a fps such as PS2.
