Here's my sob story.
I'm a shotgun scout. Shotguns are useless now and scouts are even worse. Now any player in dust can kill me instantly, using the new lock on system. My deaths per game have gone through the roof as now anyone with 8 bullets left in their AR can kill me on sight.
I think i'm gonna have to skill into AR's and heavy suits to survive this, its pure EHP fights now. |

Our stats and Isk reserves are certain to plummet.
Lost alot of fights I should've won versus mediums and heavies ...
Not to mention a whole lot of Isk.
17.5M Shotgun Scout (Gallente).
Ran Active Scanner all day.
22M Shotgun Scout (Minnie)
Also ran active scanner all day. Should point out adv and proto scanners are bugged, they don't mark targets for 15/24 seconds respectively. Its always 5s.
Also, I fly pythons on the side, and now I have no willpower to do so, because of the new camera, but those are stories for another thread. Not tonight. |

Agreed, and it doesn't help that the scanner lets people know they have been scanned. They should change it so that it only lets people that are too sneaky to be scanned know they weren't scanned. If that last sentence even makes sense. The unskilled should be blissfully ignorant. |

Only a lone tear - rest is bitter resolve. |

Shotty scouts haven't been killers in PC since 1.2. 1.3 made us easy to hit, 1.4 made us even worse and broke shotguns even worse.
It's hard to keep up with all the alts these days, so if this is Xero, don't forget I got you 7 times in a row on EU servers 2 weeks ago. Shotgunning from 1000 miles away is pretty difficult eh? |

demens grimwulff wrote:Wait... Let me get this right... You call it a nerf when they fix the hit box issue that made it nearly impossible for any class short of just spray and pray to hit a scout? How do you think the rest of the community felt when fighting a scout that literally could not be hit regardless of your own personal accuracy due to the laggy hit box? Grow up .. Sorry you all choose the class with the least armor and shields and die easy upon them fixing the glitches hit boxes... It comes with the territory.
Auto Aim is OP though... I will give you that
Go dig about for threads back then, most people agreed it was an unnecessary nerf to scouts. |

Poplo Furuya wrote:So what's up with shotguns now? Hit detection has improved for everything else and worsened for SGs specifically? Been away a while and probably won't find the time to play for a couple of weeks, curious how they could've made every other weapon receive improved detection while leaving the shotgun screwed.
