CCP I think you have cracked it! The shotgun is working like a dream! Better hit detection than ever in fact..... ITs called aim bot LOL. Checkmate I though you knew better. I use mouse and keyboard, with 0 aim asssits. I use no aimbot bro lol.

Now I have had another day or so to test, speed really isn't a helping factor much. I'm finding having additional hit points in armour, coupled with profile dampeners is much better. The base scout speed seems to be enough. I tried with my usual kincats and found I could not escape anything any better than without them. The usual dodging + strafing tactics don't work no where near as much. Obviously the aim assist is doing its job, but its working too well against scouts. I would be curious to know what CCP had in mind when they said before they plan to give scouts some love...

I would be curious to know what CCP had in mind when they said before they plan to give scouts some love... I have to disagree. Speed still has it's place. Just ask pseudosnipre. He went something like 15/3 in an ambush I was in (sadly opposing team). I watched him mow through 6 people in about 5 seconds using what looked like a gallente proto scout hopped up on at least 2-3 complex kincats. It was angry. Kin cats with an active scanner is both lethal and focussed. I had to make a fit just to try it out afterwards at which point I got stuck in an OMS that was 3 vs 7 (on the 3 side). Spent some time screwing around the first 9 deaths, then whipped out my proto kin cat suit and ended with a 22/11 finish and a 15 kill streak. Almost won it for my team of 3. Tons of fun even if I lost that one. PSA: wolfmann has said that scouts get love hopefully in 1.5 but more likely 1.6 considering the amount of work they have to do on vehicles still. Edit: I do have to mention that a balanced approach between speed and buffer will propably work the best. With the increased HP on armor plates, armor tanking a gallente scout is viable. 2 ferroscales/2 kincats or a 3 scales/1 kincat could work.

Keep operating like were back in 1.3, got the "rush" on haha. We need to learn to play even more sneaky.
Frank Olson Usul DUST University Ivy League 22	Posted - 2013.09.10 12:18:00 - [68] - Quote Against normal players on public I found out that sprint-jumping is still a very viable option. Because the scouts run and therefore "fly" so much faster, I sometimes survive 3 bursts against me because after every shotgun-shot I circle-jump my opponent (once you get completely out of their sight, which this does, aim assist doesn't help them). Try it and give me feedback :)
Korvin Lomont United Pwnage Service RISE of LEGION 156	Posted - 2013.09.10 12:29:00 - [69] - Quote major faux-pas wrote: It is different. But not fixed. OK, Could be connection issues. But I still get kills when I shouldnt. and don't when I should. THE CHANGE I have noticed, seems to be damage/range calculation. Several times yesterday a close shot did very little damage, the guy retreats and my second shot tears him apart. - But of course this could all just be linked to the above. I don't understand what is so complicated. If my circle is central to the target, deal maximum damage at that range, if it is a little off centre, deal less. If it is linked to lag issues, just make the damage calculation local to the same system controlling the local display, no? Yeah I have experienced the same no hits when victim is recticle and kills when shooting in the air beneath or above my victim. Also Damage seems to vary quite a bit :/

Start your night playing with the breach....after a couple games switch back to regular shotgun and it will help be more accurate. You really have to time your shots with the breach...do wish it would either A) reload faster, or B) Have 4 in the clip. 2 in the clip and the awful reload speed is just too much.
