Every single time I do "identify target", it sends me back the jedi's name and location and then "probe droid lost track of target" immediatley after.

I think this is what it is supposed to do. ie its not a bug.

speaking of cloak, how are people tracking cloaked jedi's now? I know they removed the simple shadow and /target awhile back, but I've been coming across several Bh'ers that have done those personal emotes on me, so somehow had me targeted and follow me around on my heels O.o

think they still can /tar you , but not attack you. Somehow some CMs managed to set me on fire while cloaked tho

completely forgot about adding the name after the emote... As well as the follow. Makes sense, mildly annoying tho, especially after cloak gets the snare, the bh, his swoop, and pets/droids following me won't help me escape at all. O.o Chances of it getting fixed?..... nahh....

You can't target anymore, but you can still /examine

It wasn't meant to be an escape device The snare and increase in the distance you need to be from a player is actually a fix and will then be working as intended.

well see, this is what I don't get: Devs say it wasn't for escape, but for "first strike"

Ok then, however PVP takes place almost exclusivly in npc cities now. (mo, coronet..) except for the rare "big battles"... If I have to cloak, and walk through these cities snared, chances are I won't even make it to my target, I'll run out of force and decloak. Or if I make it to him, by the time I use choke and swing my saber, I'll be out of force, makes no sense. All the other changes they making, (regarding interactions and skills breaking cloak) I don't mind, but the snare goes completely against the devs idea of it being first strike

So to me, it's still pure escape, and still will be after the snare as long as they don't have a handfull of critters following me, but I'll acknowledge and accept "first strike" if they remove the snare...

Stealth is the most overpowering skill in every game it has been put in. It totally unbalances a game. While it is "cool" and all that it is super hard for a team of devs to not make it overpowering. The way cloak works currently is just fine for me as a BH. One thing I would like to se changed is the ability to logout while cloaked. Way to many times Jedi cloak and log on me. I am a MCM MBH.... I refuse to exploit just so I can hit a cloaked char.

Just for the record... Jedi are MY content!

hehe.... yeah... First strike... funny stuff.

*Cloaked Jedi hobbles towards target*

Oh no... my target is walking away.... must ... hobble .... after him. I think I can, I think I can. ACK hes running now. /giveup

They never said how slow the snare will be andit could also use less force. Question: Does cloak work on red NCPs that would generally agro?

I personally dont mind cloakers, but these changes should be nice.

What do you mean? All NPCs/MOBs that are higher than grey con will aggro cloaked jedi.
