Well see, I agree with what your saying on some of this "Its your choice of template" crap... However the counter to cloak is obviously not even present and we all know this.


Telling me what to do or how to role overt (nope sorry you cant do that either)... if you were in the prior FRS you know that it happens and you do at times... I did and IM on Bria lol.


Now will the FRS be back in the game? oh yes... I wish you could see my Knight robe in my inv and the mere fact it did not change the 5 new robes in the .tre files in YOUR swg folder right now as we speak exsist for a reason. In fact I think its coming back sooner then some think..


So again, this is not a "you choose your template crap" This skill in the FRS would be out of hand and the ones that know this are the ones that were in the FRS prior to shut down...


Unless we are not perma overt.. in this system it will be a mess fast and I know it.

before you argue rubbish prove to me were devs have stated


a) the frs will be simular to the old


b) you will be perma overt


you are speculating 100% to try to make up arguements to back a nerf

I can't see how it would be a mess in the FRS.

For me to get frs xp, I need to come out of cloak and fight.

For me to maintain the rank, I need to come out of cloak and fight.

If people just stay cloaked, well they won't get anywhere in the frs.

I'm curious as to why you would think it would mess the FRS up.

explain it to me so I can see it from your point of view please.

They still need to tweak it more or this will get so bad it will get nerfed completly.

After cloak, they will move on to nerfing stasis. It's the next undefendable skill. Same thing happened after Pub-9.






the difference about it breaking on damage helps this one more though... cloak healing and and all the other issues is a bit different -- plus you can see a Enahncer coming at you with his 20 guys.. not cloakers..


More or less you could just camp a guys house and keep griefing on the perma overt levels there is so many other things its not funny..I just see this getting messy at a level above paddy...and lets face it there is more then just camping that can be a issue.


Now be clear I want it to stay its FUN yes FUN... but somthing will have to be done for this skill to be used in the FRS system..


And if you were never in this system then pretty much saying "you know" is null.

You were not in the FRS so I know this may not be clear... for a few.


True the FRS has not been stated to being the same - BUT Im going on some of the previous fixes in this game since I have been here from beta.


However, from cloak camping people to cloak healing (fixed now) -- to cloak teams just simply camping a house from a player that is perma overt (AGAIN if this applies)...


Everything from the Enclave to shrines could be a mess... at least on my Server -- Im on Bria its not a small server and we are capped as it is.. trust me if it can be done I can safley say we can figure it out.


The smaller servers may not have this same issue but I can tell you there is alot more things you can do cloaked and with the perma overt (if it applies) status enabled this wont just be like Special forces fighting... it was not like that before.. Again, there is alot more-- but I mean advertising ways to exploit other things is not the thing to do right now... in fact its a bad move for me to even say one thing about it and I know better.


I just know a problem when I see it in the game and this one needs to be "looked at" -- or people with the skill could loose it completley.

We can and that is great.. but you know better if you were in the old system.. there is a big diffrence from seeing someone and not.. kinda a big difference...lol nice try though.


Again, Im not agreeing with the nerf... you sound defensive... I just hope they adjust it before it gets the shaft man... your preaching to the choir on Jedi nerfs.. I was screaming to stop them before you were even a Jedi lol.

I guess i can see what your saying about the camping, and the ganking.

There is still gonna be starport ganking and camping though

I'd be happy with having it moved to the masters box.

The only people that whine about cloak are the pretty retarded MLS/MDef template which is utterly gimped unless you have a pre-CU saber because it lacks any nice utility skills.


If you have Force Run, a snare, a root, or all three you should have NO problem controlling the fight and keeping the cloaker within 20 meters, I have NO problem doing this and even some MLS/MDefs with basic snare have no problem if they are any good.


And for the record I do not have any powers in my template.


So just learn some tactics, jesus.

Lol, Cool another one that did not farm (I hated the FCs)then your smart enough to know that this could be a messy skill.


I know it and so do you , your defending it then that is cool -- but then you also know that I have defended more Jedi nerfs then you have made posts..


There is larger issues with cloak then just (what you see or dont perse).


Sure each skill of Jedi can be abused but this one has more potential then all of them and you know it.


While I understand your anger towards it, then you should know this is a subject that is already been brought up in other places... trust me when I say that please dont think this has not been discussed or is being thought about.


I rather see the skill stay in the system and be fun... I had it , I loved it.. but I also could think of alot of things you could do in the FRS (again if its somewhat the same) that you could not do in any other professions... let alone what is just plain viable.


I mean really -- 20 cloaked guys could walk in the Enclaves (unless they change some things with mobs working sometimes or not)... etc.. I want them to fix it or make it more of adjusted skill thats all.

They will. Once they are done nerfing all of the Jedi skills.
