After fighting, his force got low, then he got me in stasis, and safely regen his force.
PLEASE FIX THIS!
I have proof!
jedi/using/bugged/cloak!
Oh no! You gots proofs?!?!
This is hardly a newsflash. We've been discussing it for quite some time. Using cloak for me is a crapshoot.
Sometimes I can attack and not break cloak.
Sometimes I can walk right past NPCs, but attacking breaks cloak.
Sometimes I get aggro from NPCs as normal AND attacking breaks cloak.
Sometimes I can ride my BARC around like my name was Ghostrider. Oh. And attacking breaks cloak.
I don't know what causes each of these conditions, but it seems kinda random.
Well its the first time ive ever seen this happen. Or even heard of it happening.
what exactly is the "this" and "it" you are talking about
sounds to me like a jedi is cloaking so they get some breathing room... then attacking(breaking cloak) which then allows you to target them...
what USED to be bugged was when you could target them while cloaked, kinda defeats the purpose
or if you really want to target them even though you can't attack them /invite them to your group befoe you attack...
or, if for some reason, they wont jion then turn shadows on to see where they are

No, he's talking about that sometimes when you attack you don't break cloak. Legit bug. I don't know of any way possible to reproduce it.
Stasis lasts 45 seconds.
Can you tell me how the Jedi regen'd their Force in 45 seconds? Because that's a neat trick...unlessthey useda Holocron, in which case they can't use another for 24 hours, so only one more iteration of this cycle and the Jedi either needs to run or run out of Force, their choice.
The amount of Force regen'd in 45 seconds is hardly an issue. Force regens very, very, very slowly. Might have been enough to get one more heal off...maybe.

Cloak should by no means make Jedi invisible... It just adds a new, and possibly exploitable weapon into their already overpowered arsenal. Cloak should only make them invisible on radar, not invisible from sight. But if it is to stay the way it is, it should eat up a CRAP load of force so it's only a defensive power used to escape and evade. And all combat and TEF's should disable cloak.
Translation: No worthwhile abilities in powers except choke, please.

It does eat a crap load of force, 10 mobs aroudn me and every 10 seconds it was sucking about 500 force a tick in the dwb.
Max for any jedi temp is 7.2k, moron.
The more mobs the more fc. As for not being able to cloak in combat, what's to stop me from fogging your mind while we're fighting?

*sigh*
Tired of the "overpowered" comments, what a cliche.
Anything is exploitable if it's bugged to the advantage of the user...not Cloak-specific at all. No cause for any change in Cloak or it's costs.
Cloak is fine the way it is, and any bugs need to be addressed as a TON of others do, while the Devs are focusing on fixing bugs instead of new content.

lol, Sarcasm doesn't quite work in text, now does it. I was offering up a slight mockery of the original poster. Personally, I don't deal with cloak that often, so it doesn't pïss me off enough for me to care. But yeah, wow, no one picked up on the sarcasm. My bad.
Lol my apologies, you did post it on the bh forums and i'm not suprised for someone here to sayt hat and mean it

Shhhhh....don't say ANYTHING about Cloak. Tanks doesn't want to hear it.
