"Your already crying about something and you just came back to swg?"
Yeh and whats wrong with that? Maybe im remembering why i quit
But seriously, whats the point in being able to track a target to fight when upon reaching that target it just disappears?

Because just because you want to fight that target doesn't meant that target is in the mood to fight you.

No, because Boba wouldn't have seen them in the first place. In any case they have the ability and we can't get it removed, but they're at least trying to move it into the master box.
Trust me, you're talking to a ranger that was told "making people invisible to the radar would be too exploitable" by the devs 2 years ago when we asked for our /conceal ability to make us invisible on the radar. I know all about seeing this as a problem that sucks a lot.

I think you are bit confused about cloak and thats understandable if you havent been paying attention.
When using cloak a Jedi is clouding the minds of people around using the Force.
Making them think that he/she is not there. There are numerous examples of that in the movies.
It has its drawbacks, for example turrets track and shoot at cloaked jedi without problems (no mind to cloud).
Also cloaked Jedi cannot use any offensive powers, doing so results in immediate decloak.
Force use of the skill is tied to the amount of people/npc:s near the Jedi, so in crowded places the FC is very large.
Also the skill cannot be used if there are people/npc:s within 20 meters.(not counting groupmates)
So put more effort in surprise and close the distance fast if you think the target has cloak.

So how can they cloud the mind of my spray shot and bomb droids?

But still none of it will matter to a cloaked Jedi. I've had all this done before. I've had people exploit thinking it would force me to decloak.

It's not an "exploit" if it doesn't knock the Jedi out of cloak. Even if it did, it wouldn't be an exploit. It would be the Jedi being too stupid to move out of the way of a bomb droid or spray shot range.

Maybe I'd be more inclined to pretend that I didn't know the Jedi was there if feign death actually worked
in PVP. It's the same principle.

Get skill. When you hunt you don't duel. You stalk, you wait when they are vulnerable, then you strike. If you shoot a jedi and he is not incapped after that = you should follow a new career - image designer or entertainer, because BH is not for you. You want to duel them and then you cry they run - BH is not for you. If you cry over the fact they can outsmart you - BH is not for you. Quit whining, get skill. Oh, if you need "i win" button - go play npc missions.

tbh. Being frozen for 30 seconds while a jedi knight slams his 700 max dmg saber into your skull while KD'd has got to be worse than a jedi cloaking.
You lie, noob. Stasis breaks on dmg, so jedi can hit you with his "700 max dmg saber" only once. And you can heal while in stasis, which is BS. Oh, and you have over 1k max dmg weapon and you still whine. Get skill.

As much as i hate nerfing diversity i wish theyd hurry up and move cloak to Mpowers to end the constant yelling for nerfs.
The whines wouldnt stop though theyd just move to force run 2 needing a nerf or some such.
