Cloak Changes:
The Rifleman's Cover ability and a Jedi's Force Cloak now adhere to a common rule-set that falls in line with the new hiding/stealth system introduced with the Ranger revamp.
Here are some rules common to all types of buffs that remove you from sight (including Force Cloak):
1. Taking any offensive action reveals you instantly (currently the only exception is the Rifleman's ability Conceal Shot).
2. Interacting with some objects in the world instantly reveals you (could be switches, terminals, containers, etc)
3. Some commands cannot be executed and require you to reveal yourself before executing the command
4. All of these buffs can be "toggled off" at any time you wish to become view-able by others
5. Some non-combat actions can also reveal you (like healing for instance)
6. You are afflicted with a movement snare when you are stealthy (rooted when just camouflaged)
With the new Force Cloak changes (mentioned above)coming about there will also be some fixes going in behind the scenes as well to further protect Force Cloakers.
Currently there are a few ways that Cloakers can be stalked and even attacked.
- Combat Medic's ability to attack Cloakers is being addressed/fixed.
- Abilities to stalkCloakers and bring attention to them is also being addressed/fixed.
(More information to come)

well this makes the changes easier to swallow, it would have been a mess if the changes went through without the fixes.

I hope this comes to be live at the same time or before the nerf itself.
Let's not rehash such famous patch notes as "fixed elemental dmg". The last thing I want to see is a quality nerf come through and a 1/2 effortFix

Yep, and if there are any other ways that people can think of to either harm, stalk or track a Jedi while cloaked please let me know via PM and I will have it addressed.

Wow good news they are going to fix the bugs and pass that off as giving a little off their tremendous nerf stance yeppie. this stuff should have been fixed long ago. the real question is will they fix the discipline to now be what it should sense our cloak ability was why we were told we were underpowered... most likely not. We get lovin old fashion SWG style. Nerf I mean "fix as intended" one of the only viable parts of a gimped discipline then leave them in their gimpness.
We get a tip toe force drain first hit ability formally known as cloak.

Excellent, that should make the impending new system much more livable. Woot! Now if only they can be this attentive to the players all the time. Things just might start getting a LOT better for SW:G.
Here's hoping.
