Onos Cloaking In 1.04

<div class="IPBDescription">Bug? or balancing?</div> The map we were playing was tanith, and we had gone sensory first, then movement, then defense. Anyways, when I evolved to Onos and went to the marine base, I had planned to sit outside of it cloaked. Well, my cloak just kept going on and off. I wasn't moving. It'd be on one second, off the next, then on again, etc. Anyone else experienced this?

    you may have been within the range of the marine observatory, if memory serves it nullifies cloak

    They had an observatory in range..

    and technically the patch name is 1.04 <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    No no no, in my last game this was happening to me, we had destroyed everything in their base, including Obs, and I was an Onos just waiting near their spawn to Paralyze them for a telefragg and my Cloaking kept going on and off.

    I've seen the cloak flick on and off for an alien in observatory range while checking out the new cloak appearance with my roomie. Once I recycled the observatory, however, the effect ended and he could cloak normally. So that kind of behavior for cloak is definitely what it should be doing if there was an observatory in the neighborhood. Are you positive that all structures had been destroyed? They're small and easy to miss if tucked in a corner.

    Agreed, if your cloak was flashing on and off, you were in range of an Observatory, wether or not you knew it was there.

    In my game, it's possible we could have missed the observatory, but I'm pretty sure we took out everything but the spawn portals. We were just screwing with the marines.

    Also, I don't remember it ever flickering when within range of an observatory before 1.04, is that new? It used to just not work at all, I think. Or perhaps I'm seeing things. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It's new with 1.04. 1.03 simply wouldn't let you cloak in the first place.

    Actually, cloaking never really worked near any of the marine spawns, Its just a lil more noticable with 1.04.

    Agreement. You were within range of an obs. it's just to make sure you realise you can't cloak.
