Honest feedback for new cloak (patch 2.05)

#1

A lot of people want to keep the current cloak but a lot of people want small changes to it… not too major.

I will name few people who actually want justice for both sides @Fire & @Lazycollinator & @Slasher_Clone

Okay so to begin with… we all know the cloak goes full invis after 45-50 meters, BUT HOWEVER

You are still able to mark him and make him show his “green mask icon” for your team incase he is firing at u guys, so just to point that out as a fact.

You also see his energy charge and bow trails and you still can spot him with pressing spot button for his green icon to appear.

Okay now that’s out of the way i want to talk a bit more about what cloak really needs to have, this current one.

Okay so how it works is basically in 45 meter proximity he is like very hard to see which is good cause now you need skills and either one or two guys to pay attention to the predator to not ambush u guys fully… or just one guy keeping an eye.

But what i don’t like is how when in close proximity when u crouch walk the cloak is still visible as if u were running around normally. That needs to be fixed for like more realistic approach.

Okay but my main issue with the cloak is how it becomes invisible fully… not the fact that it DOES.

I am saying that when he just crosses 45 meters he is just POOF gone like a magician lol.

I want to suggest that there should be sort of FADING IN-OUT render scaling of textures so u still see the shimmer when he is coming closer and that its not TOO INSTANT

I also want to suggest there should be random SHIMMERS if he is like let’s say nearby 50 meters upto 80 meters up close radius of fireteam… AND they happen WHEN PREDATOR is jumping around aka leaping, or moving fast, when he crouch walks in the distance he should be completely invisible if you ask me…

But so lets recap what i have just said.

  1. Predator SHOULD be able to crouch walk in distance with being invisible as he is
  2. Predator’s cloak SHOULD shimmer when he is leaping like a maniac or changing tree’s from distance BUT its very hard to notice the shimmer from distance.
  3. Predator should SHIMMER when he is firing from the vast distances just to give some sort of comfort for the player, but also hard to notice, you need to keep an eye.
  4. Predator’s CLOAK Radius SHOULD remain the same being 45m and then he is basically a ghost.
  5. Predator NEEDS Better cloak textures visibility for fireteam (optional)

I think at bare minimum should be 100 meters, but that’s just what I think is fair. Aside from that this doesnt sound bad at all.

#3

Also it took me a while to find the term of what the cloak should give out effect for human eyes.

A mirage is a naturally occurring optical phenomenon in which light rays bend via refraction to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky.

Also

Light rays coming from a particular distant object all travel through nearly the same layers of air, and all are refracted at about the same angle. Therefore, rays coming from the top of the object will arrive lower than those from the bottom. The image is usually upside down, enhancing the illusion that the sky image seen in the distance is a specular reflection on a puddle of water or oil acting as a mirror.

#4

I would say 100 meters is just way too much to apply that shimmer effect… i mean ehh the devs can decide actually… i would say 80 meters would be optimal for that to happen.

#5

We need actual video evidence, for both platforms. People say alot of shit all of the time being salty. I’ve been able to see a cloaked Predator beyond this mythical 50m distance being claimed as the no-see zone.
There’s gameplay footage available on YouTube since the patch, you can see the Predator jumping around at distance still. If you look closely…and that’s the point.

So, those that are unhappy with the cloak should front up some video tests to back up the claims.

Just my 2 cents

Ok. Lol.

Btw man you know you can trust me lmao… fire is a bit too much into like ROUGH justice… while im here to support like more of background story.

Okay fire is not wrong when he says predator is FULLY INVIS after 50 meters… he is right…

After 50 meters all you see is his ENERGY, BOW TRAIL, LEAVES FALLING OFF

But, the thing is FIRETEAM is still able to mark him and sort of give him that “green mask icon”

Hence why i wrote this, to kind of properly balance it and not give devs wrong idea that cloak is just too OP lmao… when in fact its not…

Reason why i wrote this is because i don’t want devs to do “unnecessary” changes to the cloak…

All it needs is better “mirage” effect, Transitions from getting too close to fireteam POV, shimmering effect when he is like in the radius of 50-100 meters…

Are you saying I cant be trusted? :0

Guys if you get meleted at 100 meters by noobs in pubs then is your fault 100% . Learn a little bit how to move as Predator and accept the fact that you need to improve. Full invis was unnecessary , special at that close range. I never got problem before to get close, now I can just running like a retard in a linear direction until 45 meters 😂.

Said it before that I for example now don’t get melted even below half HP from distance, but thats just because no one is actually now using skills lmao…

When i play fireteam im able to spot predator and mark him to show his Green mask icon for everyone to shoot and land decent amount of shots… like more than half a mag.

#16

Man if before of the patch you was getting meleted at more than 100meters it waa your fault.

#17

How is it my fault that most people ran the sniper rifle and even PS4 players begun to actually run with snipers?

They were able to like see me from ground too and from tree’s too?

#18

Not only that but even the cloak back then had broken textures… i mean it has them now too but now render distance has been adjusted so pred is invis from distance.

Like the actual textures were what gave u away before the patch.

The grayed out black textures that don’t match the environment, remember that?

#19

If ps4 sniper players WITHOUT A PROPER AIM ASSIST were making you in trouble in the previous patch, then it was your fault not 100% but 200%. And I already agreed that cloak was bad in term of texture, but the full invis while moving? Damn, it’s shit.

#20

Where did i say 100% invisibility when moving, also define moving…

moving can be “slow, normal, fast”

if u are talking about normal then yes predator should be invisible from distance at 100meters

If you are talking about the fast walk then yes predator should be semi visible due to how his cloak can’t keep up with his movement speed and how LIGHT PARTICLES are able to reach predator more, i even said up there it should show more as a “MIRAGE” cause a human eye and u know this is not even close to perfect lmao… at like 100 meters we are unable to properly see the objects, and especially in jungle, we start to hallucinate and our brain starts to projecting our own believes.

ALSO @Arrow_calis are you now accusing me that i was the reason of getting sniped when i was normally walking on ground with cloak even crouch walking cause they were able to see my cloak bug out and show as BLACK instead of transparent?
