/cover is behaving very strangely. If I go prone, and then hit /cover, nothing happens. No message nothing, but I also get a "lag-like" sensation where NO specials will happen, as if the server was lagging. However, I can talk/use groupchat/etc just as quickly as if I was having no lag (my ping is like 75). If I wait a while, it will eventually work, but this is usually like a minute or 2. However, any shots I make after this, especially if i start up with a sniper shot or conceal shot, I experience this same "laggy" feeling and none of my commands seem to work.
My workaround to this is I go prone, then /cover, then I initiate a command. Then cover immediately starts its warmup. I tried using attacks (not targeted on anytihng), but as soon as cover is done with the warmup, I immediately go out of cover when it says -INVALID TARGET-. So, I use /bactatoss, which won't work while prone but will not take you out of cover apparently but also gets the warmup going. I haven't tried socials yet. However, the laggy feeling is still there if i used a conceal or sniper shot while under cover.
The moral of the story is, I feel that there is some wierd bug here and cover is still not working and there is some hidden lag timer in snipershot, concealshot, and cover, when those shots are used while under cover.
Anyone else experience this?

actually, ive experienced that as well, almost as if it takes 15 secs for the command to go from my brain to my trigger finger

I had it happen to me last night, clicked cover and it took about 15 -20 seconds for the bar to come up.

It was working fine most of the time but yesterday I had a strange experience.
I turned it on and took cover. I was crawling towards some friends expecting it to break. It stayed on and I started talking in spatial. They were suprised and used /target. They all said I was invisible. It was working like a force cloak and kind of nifty to mess around with. I stood up and appeared back to them. It only happened once and I could not reproduce it when I tried, but it was funny while it lasted.
