So... what visual settings i'm supposed to change?
I bought that NV scope just to have a chance against them on the ramparts but apparently it got "fixed" and cloakers are even more invisible when looking through it.

If you set your Graphics Quality to low, infiltrators lose their Predator effect and get a simple translucency instead, which makes them easier to see, especially when they're moving.

I assume vehicle thermals work for that? Not that that'd help you, just wondering :p

I have a NV scope (the cheaper green one) on my mossie and cloakers are invisible on it.
No experience with the 200 cert thermal bt i assume it's just the same.

Yeah there's a good number of people who turn their graphics to low just for that effect. I've been shot to death while cloaked so often it hurts.

To be fair, it's not like the standard Predator-style cloak is hard to see either.

And they're still invisible when standing still, either way.

Not true.  What is behind the cloaker makes a big difference.  There's a youtube video (posted in this thread somewhere) that illustrates this well.

HEY GUYS...
Remember how we were talking about the ZOE and how VS says that its totes balanced, I mean not just the strafing but the damage boost too...
Check out the results of ZOE + the Upcoming Flamethrower...

Yep nothing wrong here. SoE knows exactly what they are doing when the Balance anything in this game...

Who in Vanu says it's balanced?
I play Vanu and pretty much everyone I know who does thinks it should be nerfed.

It's totally balanced. It's means to be powerful so you only need one weapon for infantry/vehicles so you can use the second free arm for a burster.

That's a known bug on the test server. It won't hit the real game until they fix the fact that it insta-kills when using the ZOE. That bug actually completely ruined one of the big lattice tests on the test server since all the VS got ZOE MAXes with flamethrowers and completely stomped everyone else.

I guess that's a bug... Probably a matter of increased damage per particle going through the roof for some reason.

So once you got over your alarmist fit, did you realize that it was a bug on a test server? That isn't uncommon.

Its hard to judge whether or not someone is serious with a post like that, I cannot read minds. Apologies if I came off overly harsh.
