I'm saying if you believe that the devs can't do anything accidentally then you must also believe they deployed that patch, boasting about how eager they were about it, knowing it had more bugs in it than a seedy motel in downtown New York.
Here's the difference between a bug and a feature: a bug is only capable of occurring within the limits of what already exists in the game. Maybe players fall through the floor without warning, maybe they spawn as the wrong class, maybe their weapon fires the same projectiles as the Liberator's Dalton anti-tank cannon, except at 900 RPM. A bug has not occurred, however, when you log in and have access to a common-pool heavy pistol which wasn't in the game last patch. Similarly, a bug has not occurred when your cloaking device has switched from an effect which stops your character model from rendering to one which puts a shader effect over it that clearly and reliably transitions between three degrees of light diffraction based on your movement. Someone put that effect in the game and messed with some numbers to make it react to your movement on purpose. It's quite clear that you aren't a game developer, but I am, and I honestly find it disturbing that you think that this was an accident.
So you are saying the cloak visibility on low settings isn't a bug? Noooo! Customer service lied to me! They said they submitted it to the bug department and are "working" on it!
Oh thank you so much MISTER GAME DEVELOPER. I was afraid there might actually be "a few" rendering issues/bugs in this game. According to you, there aren't though. Thanks for putting everyone's mind at ease.
And i just headshotted a speed-hacking infiltrator who was running behind a mountain, 3 km away. If there is something you shouldn't trust, it is the ridiculous claims of this community. So far, all i have seen from this community is mindless bragging, close to a total absence of any solid proof. Yet according to this subreddit: Proividing proof is not needed, as long as you are criticizing the class. No rational thinking ,or critical thought is required. However, no amount of proof is ever sufficient, if you state otherwise.
How exactly would you like me to prove that Hunter Stealth is unfairly visible, Ztiller? I'm not even going to bother proposing something - just give me a scenario which you believe would definitively prove one way or the other that our cloak is effective or not.
I know reading is super hard work and all but the devs/support have already noted this as a bug and pics/video have already been provided ad nauseaum so much so that you'd have to be being intentionally dense to call this a ridiculous conspiracy theory.
Just had a run of successes using the cloak as described by the OP, so it's a shame the rest of the post comes across as a belligerant troll. The issues surrounding complaints about the Infiltrator are, I think, not solely related to the cloak (Loud Enough to Drown the Screams of your Victims™) but the classes' limited and sometimes slightly schizophrenic gear and cert choices. The class cannot infiltrate very well compared to the super-mobile and silent Light Assault, its hacking abilities are fun and sometimes effective but see limited team-support usage, and its unique lack of anti-armour capabilities when even Medics can take C4 (just say that out loud ) is more than a little aggravating. Those and others - obscenely short duration and inability to fire while cloaked limiting the Nano-Armour Cloaking's damage reduction bonus so much it's near-worthless, strange and limited grenade effects, a gimped health total in exchange for a class feature that doesn't quite work as well as, for example, Heavy Assault shields or Medic healing in its intended role, to name a few - make for a more complicated set of concerns than simply "whining about the cloak." This also doesn't detract from the fact that all the classes have issues at the moment. If you play a class a lot (so very guilty), it stands to reason you want that class to be effective, polished, balanced and fun. Part of helping that process involves identifying where it needs improvement. Believe it or not, that doesn't always make someone a "whiny b*tch" when they offer observations on it, and certainly not an entire subgroup of the game's playerbase. As for the low graphics setting "shadow," man that looks exploitable. Might just explain a few encounters I've had recently though This, on a Parallax = yes, a thousand times yes @.@
Yeah, if you get headshot by another Inf or killed by any other infantry while cloaked and being super sneaky don't be surprised because everyone on Low Settings can see you.
