I personally don't know why they aren't cloaked. I don't see why not. It would make sneaky gorge tunnels easier to defend.
That's exactly my thought. Sometimes when commanding, a gorge places a sneaky tunnel he drops some clogs to help defend it and then asks for a shade... I currently say there is no point unless he removes the clogs.
If the clogs are shaded the moment a marine runs into one then they should be revealed just like any other shade alien structure
I also thought ya meant the Vanilla Clogs vs Shadow Clogs
Hehehehehe lol me to
I can see uses for this, but also see downsides.
You will also have floating issues where a not cloaked moving skulk may be floating on the cloaked clogs. (perhaps make it so if a non cloaked alien touches it, it decloaks?)
Basically, if they were shade-able it would be an absolute nightmare.
How so? They would decloak everytime you walked into one just like everything else. How is this any worse than say a cloaked crag blocking the hallway? Or even a cloaked whip that actually does damage?
-with the occasional siegekaboom obviously
Never occurred to me that they should be cloaked, but now I'll never see it in the same light.
I WANT THIS FEATURE IN 306!
EDIT:
Would be awesome for player retention too! Just wall the marines around with cloaked clogs! Cloags? x)
I was literally repeating the reason I was told it was a bad idea a few months ago when I suggested it, the idea did not go down well.
Crags, whips and stuff are obviously not the same as clogs, because marines can jump over those (except shade).
But the idea of hidden clogs can create interesting scenarios (and frustrating too).
A solution could be to only hide clogs that are connected to the ground (so it doesnt require a ton of calculation), so towers would be still visible, while creating a sneaky aspect to 1-clog-high covers (which may be useless after all)
as far as i'm aware, it was pure speculation, and I can't remember all of the arguments against it... all I remember was that I brought it up and it was shot down by quite a lot of people to the point where I agreed it was a bad idea.
