Cloaked Skins

Hey guys, I was thinking about something, and wanted your views.

As some of you may know, there's been a wave of cloaking skins coming out. Y'know, press a button, and the skin turns transparent. Do you guys think it'd be cool to see these on the JA servers ? Some people may consider it cheating in duels/ffa's or whatever. What do you guys think ? :)

Ioshee....
now THAT is a valid thought. That actually makes more sense than any of the other reasons as to why they should be left off... soo I agree...

Oh now I understand. I would say that some people who have low fps already would not like more transparency.

i'l be honest, i really don't see the point. there is the novelty value but, like others have already said. The less you see of your own character, the less in control you're gonna be in a dueling situation. once that happens you might as well be trying to swat a fly with a lead pipe, coz you'll have about the same chance of winning in a duel!

i think the palpatine skin needs to go to heck and whoever came up with cloaking skins is probably already in heck

i wouldn't care either way, it actually hurt you to not see your character, as i found out while using the Emporer hologram, plus the dueling glow let you see them fine and the seeing acts JUST like the dueling glow.. so in someo ways you are at a disadvantage....

It does make them a bit harder to see, but I mean it's like they're invisible, I mean they're a bright blue see through thingy, lol. Like JJ said, it's like the Palaptine Hologram or the Force Ghouls (as I call them), of yoda or Obi Wan. I don't really mind, it's not an unfair advantage because any other person is perfectly capable of using them, and it's just for aesthetics sake anyway...

These skins don't actually make you invisible...they turn you transparent, with a coloured tint, much like the hologram Palpatine skin.

Cloaking Skins is BAD.
its not the use of the Force,

but the only time It could be used would be if Jango(Jengo?) or Boba Fett had it on there skins because then it could be explained away as a Function of the High Impact Armour...

LoL @ Gabba

No Vaughn Seeing doesn't help because it's a system trick. I believe the saber itself is not invisible though.

I don't like them at all. Although I guess it could make for interesting training.

well, it would be interesting, but does seeing reverse the effects? (it should be invisible untill attack)

No.


Beacuse is distracts from the skill of using a saber. and leads to towards this and other gimmicks.
