o_0 did you see what you just typed?!?!
last time i checked ....it was an escaped tactic. In addition last time i checked since when did a jedi have to sit there and fight???
your post makes it seem like cloak shouldnt be an escaped tactic.
You on crack?

First off I wanna say that I have a Jedi and I have cloak but only the boredom andbugs of BH drove me toit. I love MBH. Especially now that we kicka$$. We were horrible gimped before CU. But I gotta say this.This crying has got to stop. Ive been a MBH for over a year and a half. I got this game just to be a MBH! The constant crying about cloak by a large portion of our community is bordering on cowardice. Where the hell is your pride?You wanna nerf it cuz they get away? Are you serious? Thats the whole point, we chase them and they try to get away. Its an evasive tactic. Im not trying to defend it cuzI have it but crying over this to get it nerfed is stupid. And what did we accomplish? OK it has a snare...what good is how fast they move if they are cloaked anyway? They still are gonna cloak. Ok cloaked they wont move as fast...OK.....how does that benefit us? If you're gonna cry about it then cry something thats a real idea instead of " they cloak and get away" I say move it to 30-40m distance. Double the distance they have before they are cleared to cloak again. A snare really doesnt help us does it? As a player on both sides of the spectrum but a MBH at heart I say let them have thier cloak just give me more range to hit them before they have a chance to. Im not thrilled that they get away and im sure BHs dont like it when Ive done it to them, but its the thrill of the hunt. Keep their mission and be smart and catch them sleeping. Ive been caught many times sleeping at a shuttleor at the bank. Just be smarter about it. Dont expect to just run up on every jedi and thats it. Make it fun...stalk them...hunt them. Dont just get the wpand go. All the best BHs I know are into the hunt, not just the kill! i just heard of a guy using the ole looking for a group tactic, shot the jedi while he spun a lair. Now thats smart. I love that one. Dont be mindless get the mission and go BHs. Have fun with it and you'll find less to cry about.

You being able to kill your mark when you are ready is the balance. I hate it, but you have to look at it from a 3year olds...I mean their point of view.

don't talk to us about cowardice. When i was sf i went into combat with a imp jedi, with a jedi friend of mine and we where so close to defeating him then he cloaked and ran. dont give us a lecture about it we just want an oppertuinity to know our enemy and adapt by having the same ability to hide and strike from the shadows. secondly we do have pride.....pride in killing jedi that think they are better than everyone else instead of helping them, even though there are a few who help some low cls, the majority of jedi use jedi to get a higher combat prowess than others. Our pride is defating a jedi and stripping away their snobby behaviour and bring forward the corpse they should be.
p.s we are not crying we are really pi$$ed off

Slam me all you want...but the toughtest Jedi on my server know a good fight is coming when they see me riding in. And in the past 4-5 weeks I have only lost one mission that lasted nearly 15 mintues. I'm pretty confident with my skills and abilities.

First off, there does not need to be a counter to every skill. Choose your skills and abilities wisely, based on what works best for you. I repeat, not every ability should have a counter to it! Secondly, cloak does have a major balance to it- any Jedi who has cloak has much less defense than those who don't. I have killed several Jedi with cloak. You need to out think the ones with cloak, or use better tactics than them. Root them and hit them hard with yourAlpha strike.If that doesn't finish them, /follow them, have a pet follow them,snare them, don'tlet them get 20m away to cloak. I enjoy the challenge of fighting aJedi with cloak. Sure, you wont win them all, but when you do it is much sweeter. I believe the people who cry loudest for nerfs in this game, are the ones who do not want to take the time toproperly learn their skills and abilities.

I know what I wrote. It was meant to be an alpha strike tactic.
The dev named "Helios" stated that the cloak changes were because people used cloak as an escape method and to "selectively bypass content", and not as intended (alpha strike.)

Not slamming you at all, just stating an opinion. If you have only lost one mission in five weeks then you must have found a way around the cloak that 80% of your marks have. This shows it can be done by hunting smarter. If you can do this, all bh's can do this. Therefore, I don't believe cloak needs to be nerfed.
