    After reading the Update, there is no fix for turrets that will randomly shoot a cloaked assassin? And how some turrets will continue to shoot an assassin after going into cloak. This will be even more of a problem now that assassin cannot cloak while grappling, which i have no problem with, but with this bug, If you are successful with grappling and killing a player in their base. After the grapple will finish the assassin will cloak, only to find the turrets will continue to attack an already badly hurt assassin. As the turrets would have already been attacking during the grapple and well after during cloak.

    I've made a post about turrets attacking cloaked assassins before and no developers replied. May i say it again? 1/10 times running through an enemy base while cloaked, turrets will shoot at you. This happen to anyone else?

    one of the pro-tips states that when an assassin takes damage it will become visible, the cloak clearly shines enough for the turrets to see.

    Or maybe the Assassin should not be hanging around the enemy base? Maybe this is the moral of the story.

    I mean if you run through a base. with NOTHING attacking you, the first thing to attack you is the turret. Thats the problem. Anyway it won't matter after the patch. Im done with being an Assassin after that.

    I have been shot at by firebases, with NOTHING shooting at me at all. Same with turrets, but not as much.

    I'll try not to go on one side of the map because theres a firebase that sees cloak. Good advice.

    Can't you read?!?! this subforum is CLEARLY called Monday Night Combat Complaints and Whining
    /Sarcasm

    God i hate people who clearly think "nah, you iz wrong, man, stop whining!"
    when people SHOULD be thinking "I disagree with your assessment of the previously mentioned item, but you have the right to think what you want of the situation, so enjoy your thread with other people who would like to constructively comment in it."

    Cant say i'v ever had this problem happen to me. Often i'll stand next to a turret cloaked waiting for it to recharge slowly, because no one thinks to look for an Assassin there.

    I am not calling him a whiner for trying to point out a (maybe) glitch. I am calling him a whiner for what he say in his first post. He made it sound like after running through an enemies base and getting attacked the turrets start attacking you aswell. Then stating he is never playing the Sin again. That was the part i was calling him a whiner for. instead of just stating the first part.

    If he just stated
    i would not of said anything.

    You DID call me a whiner after stating this buddy. You JUST said you wouldn't of called me a whiner IF i stated this. WHICH i DID right BEFORE you said i was a whiner... really, stop trying to defend yourself for it, you just made yourself look worse. I was switching out of the Assassin anyway before the update.

    Sure i said i was done playing the Assassin, but did i state WHY i was done playing it? Of course i didn't, because it was a reason OTHER than the new patch.

    Actually i quoted yourself which i had not realized you had taken that part out of MY quote. so no i didnt mess up quoting myself exactly. Besides this topic is about the BUG, not me not playing the Assassin, if you want to laugh at Assassins complaining go on one of those "Assassins got Nerfed" thread, leave this one as this is to tell the Devs there is a bug in the game.

    Just to mirror what was stated, I've had this bug happen to me. It's rare but it does happen. You can be cloaked with plenty of meter left and nobody aware of you when one of the many turrets (it's only ever one for some reason, despite having 2 or 3 in range) will suddenly turn to face you and start unloading it's laser/rocket payload in your face.

    I've also never been shot by turrets when I take damage while cloaked so I wasn't aware of that supposed behaviour though that's really a different and unrelated issue/mechanic :3

    I think the moral of this story is: If you play Assassin, you deserve to be punished.

    Variety is whats making this game popular. Take that away and you lose consumers. That would be bad for all of us. Name calling is very childlike.

    But hey, thats what you get when you go online. You could be speaking with a 40 college professor, some little child acting out for attention or even a middle aged guy who was picked on all through school so he developed some internet alter ego to bully people on the net for revenge. lol. Sucks but, grain of salt I guess.

    Each class has unique strengths, thats what makes the game fun. I agree with the OP in that I have been murdered from start to finish by a firebase all while cloaked.

    Cloak is supposed to make you invisible to enemy turrets and bots. Thats an issue. Difficult to plan attacks when the circumstances change like that.

    Good post Bam.

    On the other hand sometimes a turret in range won't shoot an assassin that has just uncloaked. Usually it balances out.

    never seen this happen.. if a turret doesnt shoot me while im uncloaked, it either because im too close to it or im behind something or it is already shooting something, either way both of these bugs need to be fixed.
