No pouncing whilst stealthed

[planeios]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Make it so that aliens that are stealthed cannot pounce

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Stops people being randomly ambushed by an alien without being able to do anything(who remains stealthed after pouncing)

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): everything was said in the benefits

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Make it so that at the very least if they pounce they become destealthed.

-1 not really an issue, this is an unnecessary post, if you take away their pounce while cloak they are useless. The only alien that can cloak are Hunters besides Predators, which can cloak as well. Hunters were meant for pouncing anyhow their cloak you can see em coming if you have good eye sight or can see em. Don't really see how this benefits us anyhow, it would only affect hunters, and piss off those xeno players who are hunters if such thing is implemented.

Hey bud, there's this great movie I really think you should check out.

I mean its a pretty cheap thing to do but no real need to remove it. Besides if you do get pounced its pretty easy to tell where they are. Neutral i suppose.

Well I think they should be instealthed after pouncing but being able to pounce while stealth is a core ability of the hunter.

-1 from me.

Stealth and pouncing is core hunter gameplay.

-1 might as well remove assault rifles from marines.

why are y'all pretending like hunter is useless without stealth pounce I play hunter on the regularly very successfully without stealth pouncing

They aren't useless without stealth, but hunters are already not the strongest T2 caste, and I don't see sufficient justification for a nerf.

[ZDashe]

-1 because it would be removing one important strategy of Xenos, which is ambushing, and it's unique only to the Hunter caste. Besides, it removes one of the fun part of playing as a lone hunter on board Sulaco.

May the legend of Hunter (Pro) live on!

I understand this is an old post but Snype just closed a suggestion thread with basically this exact thread title but I believe the title was not worded correctly. In said thread the OP was salty because the Alien was still cloaked after a successful pounce. The objective of his suggestion was to have Cloak removed after the alien has pounced so as to avoid another action similar to Cloak> Pounce> Double Hug > Devour > Flee all the while remaining Invisible.

I thought the suggestion was a good idea because at no point does something stealthily executing a take down onto prey remain hidden whilst essentially devouring said prey in amongst a group of said preys muhreen buddies. I'm putting the post here to highlight that particular issue.
