Hello all, it's me again and I must say, this new Cloaking graphic they are using is enough to make me quit Klingon Side. I can not fly that ship around looking like that. It looks like Wonder Woman's Invisible ship now. Completely off from anything that once had immersed me in to the game. The previous Cloak was perfect. It looked real. Now it looks horrid and for what?
I know some of you say you had issues with it and not knowing where your ship was, well...I never *once* had that issue. Now I do have an issue and that's a complete loss of immersion. If I can not feel immersed in the game, I do not play it. So unless this unwarranted change becomes a warranted option, I will no longer be playing Klingon side. Which is sad, because if all I am left with is Federation Side, I am sure to get bored at an extreme rate and most likely leave the game.
I love this game, I really do, but too many changes like this without them being an option will indeed turn this game into something I will be unable to enjoy.

Should of tested it on tribble and provided your feedback to the DEVs before release...
The devs do tend to read most everything in that forum.
Just remember that with PVP so hard to test on test ... klingon issues (which are already very hard to get a lot of feedback, conversation and dev activity on) ... tend to not get discussed as frequently or voraciously as issues that affect federation ships.
Well, you;re right, it sucks enough that I don;t play Klingon side anymore. I am big on immersion, and without it I lose interest. I'm keeping my cool about it, but I must admit, not too happy right now.
Perhaps you missed the post above yours... You guys assume too much and make yourselves look foolish.
So you posted your comment 7 hours before it was supposed to go live? The first thing you should have realized was that you had a couple of weeks of testing to get your point across. Waiting until the last minute is just foolish. Second, you didn't get much support for the idea in the thread. What one person wants has no bearing on what 100,000 might want. Cryptic is not here to cater to the lone voice in the crowd.

No sir, you are wrong. There was no mention of the cloaking graphic change. That was conveniently left out. What else is new though. How would I know to check it out unless it is made aware to us? And if by some chance I missed it, I went back to look again at all the patch notes dating all the way back to April 1st. Nothing.

Anything else?
This was discussed over a week ago, in the non-tribble sections even. I just don't have time go go back and look it up right now as I'm getting ready to leave. It's not a new development, though. It was even discussed in the non-tribble section of the forum.
So you posted your comment 7 hours before it was supposed to go live?
Sure did, since there was no patch note to alert me to such a thing.
The first thing you should have realized was that you had a couple of weeks of testing to get your point across.
I tested everything mentioned in the patch notes...
Waiting until the last minute is just foolish.
I did not "wait" until the last minute, I posted the very *second* I noticed it. So because they failed to mention the Cloaking change, it's somehow my fault? riiiight.
Second, you didn't get much support for the idea in the thread.
Hard to get support when nobody is aware of it...
What one person wants has no bearing on what 100,000 might want.
Only one person eh? Not according to this thread, pal.
Cryptic is not here to cater to the lone voice in the crowd.
Hard to get a voice rallied up when you had no clue the change had even been made.
Instead of trying to be a jerk and Dev hugging, maybe you should address the real problem, nobody was told anything, and if they were, it must have been half hidden in pages of text or simply not spoken of at all. I searched twice and did not see it mentioned.
P.S. Just searched three times and did not see it. So how is that making me look foolish when it is you who are starting to look foolish.

Oh, silly me, since it was on the Tribble Server and the Tribble Forums are where any patch notes for tribble testing are posted, I should have known to look for tribble patch notes some other place than the Tribble forums....well duh. Silly silly me.
I do. I thought it was a little TOO cloak-y before. So cloak-y that on some maps I sometimes had a hard time seeing which way my ship was pointing.
Hmm. Maybe they could allow for a degree of customization here?
Oh wow, what a thought? Why didn't anyone else think of this? Sure makes a ton of sense to me...
Doesn't matter anyway, this very thing right here has me on edge of giving up MMOs all together....very tired of these little changes that add up over a period of time that ruin immersion for me. Seriously seriously contemplating giving up MMOs....just the straw the broke the camel's back.
LOL while I agree the opacity is dialed in a bit too much it was really hard to see your own cloaked ship beforehand. And as far as the OP's linked thread, he posted his concerns too late, as the build was already cleared for going live today. Should have noticed it earlier in the week and spoken up.
However, it is sometimes never too late to have something adjusted. I suggest the OP put in a bug report stating his concerns in a tone other then butthurt, like he has been in this and the other thread. It's not a gamebreaker issue.

Man, it was fine as was...butt hurt, sure, I'll go for that, I am butt hurt. I'm tired, bro...very very tired. This change was not mentioned on any of the patch notes. I refuse to hover around Test server like some rabid dog because they might change something not mentioned in the patch notes. This game has way too much of my attention as is. I give this game easily over 12 to 14 hours a day of my time...seriously, it's pathetic. How much more time do I have to give this game to make sure things such as this do not slip past me?
It's just way too much, man. MMO's are just way too much. They change too much and half the times don't even tell you what the changes are. Most changes are good I guess, but this one was just plain stupid. Surely they did not think they could do this without making it an option for the people who liked it as it were? Surely that would have just been way too much trouble.
Next thing you know, they will be taking out special effects because people will complain that it is hurting their heads...
Comments
the cloaks i've seen previously seemed great, dunno why they'd change them.
I can't help but laugh. sorry. but this may explain why your ship is like that now.
CLICK ME FOR PHOTO.
they are trading tech. ( it also makes me mad because Wonder Woman betrayed humans. )
EDIT WOW I put click my in the link lol it's to early in the morning. lol
Should of tested it on tribble and provided your feedback to the DEVs before release...
I DID As you can see it went unnoticed.
What a marvelous and ingenious idea!!!
Well then maybe your just a minority, trust me all opinions are valued and reviewed fairly by the Devs!!!!
Whatever happened to the player council?
It didn't go unnoticed.

It sucks. I know.
Zodi ! Duuude! Welcome back!
I didn't see you sneak in, that is, if you've been here awhile!
I've been back for two days. Trying to sneak in.

Seriously though, can we get pics of what the new cloak looks like?
I had no issues with it and find it hard to believe that others did.

Looks fine to me.
