Remove hiding while pouncing

[Jeser]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Remove hiding while pounce.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Decrease salt.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): I'm really salty right now, because just fucking right 5 mins ago, I geared up as engie, deployed on planet, came to table barricades in north of Tcomms and stand there for a while near sniper in camo hideout. Aliens destroyed two floodlights to north of our position, suddenly, I fall on ground, my helmet goes off with hugger near it, then I get facehugged with second one, devoured and, guess what? WE BOTH DON'T SEE GODDAMN ALIEN, WHO DID THAT! Why? Because runner pounced at me from the dark, facehugged, devoured and ran off while being HIDING all the time! And... he was hiding under my sentry's crate. Sniper guy didn't even shoot because he didn't understand, what the fuck is going on, same as me.

HOW THE HELL ALIEN CAN POUNCE AND HIDE AT THE SAME TIME?!

So, suggestion:

1. If alien pounce from hiding, disable hiding.
2. Make 5-10 seconds delay before he can hide after pouncing.

Because this was bullshit. I got taken out of the round in first 3 minutes of being on planet without even having a chance to counteract.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): minor coding.

P.S. I'm rarely being saltry, while playing SS13, but when I DO, IT'S MEAN I FACED UP WITH ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT. Just like in this case.

P.P.S. Looks like some people misunderstood it. I want to REMOVE 'HIDING" STATUS AFTER ALIEN POUNCED.

Seems fair enough, you pounce, you lose hiding, maybe the same can be applicable for the Hunters cloak +1

[Toroic]

-1 from me.

That wasn't an easy move to pull off, and almost nothing actually hides the runner sprite fully.

[Printer16]

-1 from me as well. You don't regain plasma when hiding, and as Toric said, most things are unable to fully conceal the runner.

Okay, both of you, can you explain how big red dog-like creature can pounce person while hiding?

It was crouching, waiting to strike.

[Jeser]

Okay, you really didn't get it. I'll ask again.

HOW RUNNER CAN POUNCE MARINE WHILE BEING HIDDEN AT THE SAME TIME?

Not before pounce, but AT THE SAME TIME. In the moment of pouncing.

The issue is, that right after pouncing, which is DEFINITELY VERY NOTICABLE ACTION, alien magically ends pounce under small object and under human, WHICH IS RETARDED IN A FIRST PLACE.

If you pounce something, be good to land ON IT, not UNDER.

OH WAIT I TOTALLY MISUNDERSTOOD THIS SUGGESTION.
-1 to REMOVING POUNCE from CLOAKED xenos.
+1 to REMOVING CLOAK from xenos that have JUST pounced.

[Jeser]

Finally! That's what I meant. Probably need to somehow rephrase suggestion somehow...

You could've seen if you were paying attention, their sprite does hang out when pouncing Marines or hiding under sentry crates, even when hiding.

Runners have enough problems compared to Hunters since their pounce lasts half a second and they have the health of marshmallows.

If you pounce on someone shouldn't you end up on top of them? if your under them you'd be stunned?

Finally, at least someone get the point of retardness about pouncing while hiding.

[masterspots]

Pouncing while hiding isn't dumb it's the fact you remain hidden after you pounce..

[Jeser]

Okay, again, people don't understand me right, I mean exactly the issue, that after pouncing, alien remains hidden, while it should be on top of pounced creature/object.
