Buff Predator Cloak

[YummyToast]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):Essentially, buff the predator cloak so that it is harder to see or something. Maybe base it on movement speed? Unless I'm just being dumb and it is based on movement I just saw a predator in-game and it was waaaay to visible

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):Buffs the predators and makes them more sp00ky

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):Predators will be harder to see in their cloak which I believe is much more canon. Seeing as most of their rules rely on them going outside of cloak to engage it won't cause too many issues but will instead allow them to stalk more.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):No clue.

So make them completely invisible...yes, we do need this. +1

It's mainly the outline, the white thing that makes the human shape.. That should be much harder to spot

Yea, I've mentioned this to the devs a few times.

I've been told it's not really a problem.

Marines spit it 90 percent of the time

It's a problem, you have to turn facing the side of your character so you are harder to see.

If you face downwards or upwards it's easy as hell to see.

Yea, as a marine I've had no issue spotting the predator cloaked, the outline is because its white really obvious against most of the flooring on the new planet. If it was a more blended grey color or something wouldn't be so easy. Predators honestly seem to die within the first 20 minutes of any round.

Now that Marine's are use to Predator's they're constantly looking carefully..

Cloak is great in frantic situations, but I'd say 1/3 Marine's spot me while I'm cloaked easily.

-1 I am okay with the current cloak. In my experience with them, they are invisible enough to not be easily spotted, yet visible enough that if they get too close, they get shot. I don't like the idea of super deadly predators being able to run around marines with no worry of being spotted.

Just make it so the outline only appears when moving, and have it switch to pure invisibility when standing still. Add an overlay when in motion, remove it when not.

[Steelpoint]

On the one hand I agree that once you know a Predator is on the field you can more effectively catch them out, but on the other hand I disagree with complete invisibility as that's simply not fun for anyone except the Predator.

I think Aztecorando is onto something in that if a Predator stands still for a few moments then it should achieve full invisibility, this would encourage Predators that want to cloak ambush prey to set up beforehand as well as make it possible for prey to track a fleeing Predator instead of the Predator being instantly invisible utterly.
