[EDIT] and I think almost ALL scouts have hated the intro of the aimbot and perfect hit detection on the AR, my SG and NK still deal no DMG alot!
I think for a skilled assassin scout such as yourself, this patch will have caused nothing but problems. Pre-patch notes I was seriously considering switching min-logi due to improved hit-detection and aim-assist (neither of which I disagreed with - the former definitely had my much needed approval) and lower strafing basically eradicating my only defence in combat.
In all honesty though, (and I've been bleating on about this recently) as an armour tanking, active scanner loving (AR [ab]using) Gallente 'Scout' scout, everything about this patch has somehow worked out in my favour. The best thing is, not only have my worries about the changes been for (more or less) nothing, the only previous positive I had about this patch - improved hit detection making it easier/reliable to kill when flanking/sneaking - has actually worked out that way.
Don't get me wrong - scouts are still hilariously UP (which is kinda part of the charm...), but at least now, instead of relying on broken mechanics to keep me alive, I can actually form and execute an attack plan and have them not get f'ed up by half my bullets passing through my unaware victim (sticking to random objects seem to occur less as well) If anything, mini-logi is still appealing so I can carry uplinks and scanner at the same time - with scanner I get better Kdr, with uplinks better WP.
Things I don't like about 1.4 - grunts - probably just me, but every time my merc grunts (which is a lot) I keep thinking someone is firing a shotgun, sounds weird - maybe male mercs sound better.
Lastly, they removed the 'damp and slide'... Not sure if it got fixed when being rezzed as well...
Overall +1 to CCP (but scouts need love soon...) |
