CCP has not heard our cries on our problems. For heavies its lack of suits, lack of heavy weapons. It is also the poor job the HMG does, from poor range to bullets hitting everything but there intended target. The heavy in general is out classed and is a joke currently on the battlefield.
For the Scout the same is for you, your suits lack any chance of survivability in today's combat environment. You lack the necessary power and speed to be proficient in your class. Lack of suit choices also limit your choices of play style as well. The scout is a paper doll playing in a glass factory.
I am calling all scouts and heavies to go on strike. I ask that you play Dust but refuse to use the Heavy or Scout class in general. Run BPO starter fits and use the weapon of your choice. If you feel that you have not been given a voice I ask that you sign this petition that you will not use a heavy or scout until CCP fixes the problem.
Let them see the numbers drop on these classes. If you feel the Heavy or the Scout needs to be fixed and given a proper role please sign your name. If you feel the suit is fine then please do not leave your name.
Until CCP acknowledges that the scout and the Heavy have problems I ask that you boycott the use of these class's and run another class or BPO starter fit. Once CCP sees that only Logi and Assault is being used they may get the point.

I already do there is no point in running a scout suit right now (although the scout was more of a fun fit for me) |

I stopped running light frames in 1.4.
Until we get points for scanning, or some kind of equipment-oriented bonus for scouts, they will be useless. |

... I don't run heavy anymore but I used to have advanced forge guns and HMG's along with my scouts, shotguns, shield, armor, jeeps, biotics, nova knives, assault rifles, scrambler pistols, logistics tools, sniper rifles SMG's, logi, advanced jeep gear.... And on and on. Skill points got you a lot farther back then >_>
But I agree scouts and heavies need serious TLC... Or aim assist needs to be removed. People were fine without it! |

I think LAVs being nerfed is something we can all be happy about...maybe we aren't so different...after all... |

TY Capt Obvious. I know there is past forums, but apparently CCP was not paying attention. So I am renewing the effort. Like all protest it takes more than one sit in to get you point across. Sometimes you have to plan marches , sit ins, boycotts, and speak your point until your voice cracks and your legs buckle under the pressure but you will not yield, you will stay strong. Let our voices unite as one and that we shall overcome. |

If I may, while my personal scouting experience comes from using the free suits marketing keep giving us, would be happy if the current scout suit was left paper thin, but given buffs back to speed, profile, scan radius and 2eq slots, but you loose your side arm slot
Then we give a "welterweight" brawler suit or assasin suit, or whatever name you like, with a little more health and bonuses to damage at short range as well??
I would prefer if you were to respond with civility in mind!! |

As it seem there is a limitation on how much speed they can give a suit without screwing hitdetection completely and scouts seem to be on the edge. So in order to make scouts (feel) faster they must make every other suit slower.
They should give scouts some sort of harrassing skills like the min logi hacking bonus. Instead to remove the light weapon slot I would rather see a suit with two siedarms :). A buff to scan radius is badly needed especially for the gallente scout who is all about scouting.
I agree on the low health scouts should be fragile and fast and stealthy compared to all other suits. Unfortunately they are just fragile in the current state of the game... |

actually i havnt touched dust for a few days due to the heavies dying in 2 seconds against an AR user.
and if CCP doesnt bring out the rest of the suits for the heavies, scouts and heavy weapons, well frankly CCP can take the HMG and shove it up their a-s-s (might get banned but what the hell, they had it coming, since its been far too long since they did anything for the scouts and heavies)
everything is pretty much catered to the assault class, but nothing else we can do, if CCP wants to be like that, they can do it, since its their game. |

I cant speak for Scouts. I ask scouts to join heavies in protest because I feel we share a common goal. That is goal is better equipment that better suits our roles.
I as a heavy would love to see the HMG with at least a 20M increase. At least another racial suit also a suit bonus that is actually beneficial. I would like to see a 5% damage resistant per level. Something that would allow the heavy to play its role and the ability to do it job. |

True but if make the othef suits any slower your gonna feel like running through custard, im sure they will figure it out, the unreal engine has alot of user community support more so than other engines.
2 sidearms for a light and sidearm, seems fair enough, especially when the gallante pistol is released!! What about the brawler suit, you like it? |

yeah i hate being shot to bits by an AR thats 80m away from me, my HMG can't even reach that far. and then trying to run for cover is also bad now that the AA sticks to me as if my hit box wasnt big enough |

Hey, you know ... just my preference. I'm sure others would disagree. And I don't care too much about the scout suit's pitiful health ... but we need something to make up for it. It used to be speed, but that's much less useful now. I think the second equipment slot and a scan radius/profile buff would be a big boost, myself.
And the problem with losing a light slot for a second sidearm slot is that it'll wipe out the shotgun scouts. I'm running more sidearm builds (SP + SMG or FP) than shotty lately, but some guys are straight up shotgun ninjas, and I'd hate to see those taken out of the equation...
Unless you're saying the recon scouts would have two sidearms plus two equipment slots, while the brawler scout suits would still be able to rock the shotty, but only have one equipment slot..? |

So you want people that specced ALL of their SP into a specific role and not play it, with a high chance of lowering our KDR, ISK and Dignity because you want us to go on strike..................................................................................................................................................No, Thanks.

Fair enough, I might have had to much, , but yeah it seems a bit out of kilter to use a scout suit for cqc, but there most definitely be a suit for it, im just not sure which sounds better for its role, assasin or brawler, brawler sounds more like a heavy to me!! |

I can only ask that you voice your opinion. But the best way to get a point across is thru unity. Its your choice to do as you wish but if you want change you must be the change you want. |

Shotgun scout with active scanner, if you run to the "main battle" you are useless, its your task to kill those who try to flank your team mates. The scout is also perfect for hacking and defending objectives.
thats the way i play my shotgun scout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiX7s_0jTVw |

Then we give a "welterweight" assasin suit, with a little more health and bonuses to damage at short range as well and prehaps regen, it keeps its light weapon slot, but doesn't get the extra speed and equipment slots the scout does.
Good Idea?

Oh really? But that's how YOU play, not how I play. So you stating how I run is wrong shows that you either run different suits (other than Scout) or you just limit your own self to that play style. If I can hold a KDR above 4.50 (solely as a Scout) that runs in battle, still manages to make quota of pay (not plateau on ISK) and still hold my own against other Proto's. Then I guess Im doing something right. You perhaps on the other hand, not so much.
PS: And on top of that I rarely run in Squads and if I do run in a squad it's with 1 of my 4 Corp members. |

Then I guess Im doing something right. You perhaps on the other hand, not so much. PS: And on top of that I rarely run in Squads and if I do run in a squad it's with 1 of my 4 Corp members.
you have a good KDR and you can kill other proto's sounds fine for me, no need for changes :D |

I havent used my scout almost at all, I never trained profile dampening, and i hate the idea that i would need to train it to be useful at all.
I would give up my granade slot for another equipment slot tho, but i think one of the main things scouts need is a much bigger jumping higth, or some sort of micro burst jump pack, because there is allot of head higth terain it would be great to just jump over, or use to get into good sniping positions. |

Honestly, we need a little bit more as Scouts. If only a few (and I mean FEW) people can run scout, there's a problem with that. CCP needs to address it before Scouts become irrelevant. |

Prehaps vaulting, and short distance wall running, kind a parkour style? |

IMO from running Scouts since closed BETA. Here's a list I think would be viable:
1.) Smaller Hit Box
2.) A little bit more health over all not much, but enough to get by.
3.) Better Scan, Range and Dampening.
4.) Higher Stamina and Slight Speed Boost. (NOT A HUGE BUFF)
5.) The only class that should be able to mantle up objects as high as 8-10 feet.
6.) Suits that give the option for either 2 equipment slots (w/ No Grenade) or just the suit we have now. (1 grenade and 1 slot)
7.) Adaptive Camo like Old Snake from Metal Gear Solid 4. (NO ACTIVE CAMO) cough* cough* Sheathe......
8.) Boost on any item that is related to Biotics.

Not so the reason I say Adaptive Camo as opposed to Active is because you can still see the shape of your enemy and its not OP. Now with the new lights/shadowing and particle effects. It's strong but definitely not OP. |

Until CCP acknowledges that the scout and the Heavy have problems I ask that you boycott the use of these class's and run another class or BPO starter fit. Once CCP sees that only Logi and Assault is being used they may get the point.

Still doing quite well with my Heavy and HMG. Your description of the HMG is GREATLY exaggerated, which leads me to believe the problem lies more with someone's gun game. By means though, please do stop playing your heavy. One less whiny, entitled Heavy player in the game can only be a good thing.
I will however agree with scouts having a hard time at the moment. I don't know how you fix it, but they do need some help.

My problem with scouts is that CCP maniacally thrashes all over the place with their balancing. There is no sofr adjustments of tuning one thing up while buffing the other. They go and overnight change the whole game. Scouts used to speed tankers. Now that niche has been completely destroed by the aimbot. Instead with shared HUD out of the way scouts are better at sneaking around corners jumping on ppl's backs.
I used to think that my speed by design game me some advantage in CQC and if I developed a build around it I can be competive. Overnight CCP desides to put an Aimbot into the game and hey - Dust is no longer a tracking shooter. Now it's a 'tactical' shooter. If you spent time (and possibly money) to specialize to be better at a tracking shooter - too bad, now you are playing a different game. HTFU. |

How will you be digging my grave if your rounds are hitting everything but their intended target? That means I only need only a few of mine to hit you. I suppose you could shoot at an object nearby and those rounds that miss your intended target may decide to hit me.
You have come on these forums to make a silly argument, and your answer to my negative opinion of said argument is to challenge me to a 1v1? How will this 1v1 work. Will we HMG at 30 paces? No, that would take forever according to most of our "heavy" players. Better make it 20 paces. What about the other 30 players I assume will be in the match? Will we be making a gentlemen's agreement to ignore the fact that we are playing in a "team based" game?
I think more than a few of your fellow corp-mates can vouch for me considering D-Uni is one of your largest providers of recruits. Heavy suits and HMG's reside somewhere in the middle of the Dust food chain. That is a fine place to be. Be thankful that it is so easy to set yourself apart as being good when you aren't considered OP.

No i will show how under powered and out classed the heavy is. I will take my assault Dren BPO with Gek and I will run circles around. You will not even get close enough before I drop you over and over again. So if you think an assault suit is supposed to be better at CQC than you need to rethink your roles on a heavy. If I run into you I will send you a reminder message after the match of how many times we met and which one of us walked away. |

So, why not just play assault? You're apparently a better assault player then you are a heavy player. Then we can avoid threads like this, because you will be a happy AR user like the rest of the player base. You have just pulled the equivalent of a playground bully here. "I don't like what you're saying, let's fight!"
I look forward to playing with/against you. I generally enjoy all my interactions with Molon Labe. Except for the roof camping MD users you had last patch. Those were dark days. I'll even add you to my contacts so I can track my progress stat-wise against you. I've run with Molon Labe on several occasions, and I've even run a game or two with you. I honestly don't remember if I was impressed or not. But, I look forward to seeing you on the battlefield. And, I hope you have a keyboard if you're going to fire messages off to me all the time in game. That Ds3 is a pesky typing tool. |

I feel your frustration OP, but I can't imagine that boycotting the our gimped suit(s) will accelerate the fix timeline. Scout rebalance is already in the works; last we heard from Wolfman, we'll see it deployed in 1.6 (possibly 1.5).
Big changes -- the kind needed to balance light and heavy suits against mediums -- can't be implemented via hotfix.
Then again, the Devs could always address via nerfbat the other side of the imbalance equation :-) ^ That'd be an effort Scouts could get behind, as we patiently await our Christmas buff.

Aah, well thats more like the octo camo on the boss, then snakes, you could tell she was there because of distortion and a slight matrix style effect, if you mean what I think you mean!! It most definitely shouldn't be perfect stealth, bit op, also a timer that stop you shooting for say 0.8 sec after decloaking, then you can have different types!! |

Heavys can be formidable in pub matches but are just about worthless in pc, especially with the new larger maps (which are awesome by the way). Ccp has never done anything but nerf the heavy because of complaints that assault aren't able to take a heavy one on one and win. their wish has came true. This game is definitely is catered to the assault/logi classes. Despite all of the heavys shortcomings I still remain hopefull. |

Don't get me wrong, I'm challenged out there as a scout but I'm not at the point of going on strike. I've got way too much SP invested in scouts to give it up at this point, even temporarily.
I'm still trying to adapt to the new build and find some viable tactics.... We do need some buffs, to be coming in the next few months, but as much as I hate dying so easily, I really dislike playing medium frame suits.....

Now if CCP were to say Scouts are fine and their not making ANY changes to it at all. THEN I would go on strike. No worries about CCP ignoring the scouts plight. Lord only knows what changes or experiment comes of it. As a Heavy I'm okay so long as CCP resists the calls to nerf the FG, always adapting my style of game play as need be.
Sadly I drank the KDR juice, it is bitter. Negatively affecting the Dust 514 experience. It really speaks poorly of a game when the mission takes a back seat to using hack points for Kill Farming.
If a protest is desired we just need to get enough people together in a chat (joining coms there). Then cram as many as possible into FW matches in order to disrupt them. Finally reporting successes on the Forums. Not as cool as a Burn Jita Campaign but at least it isn't AFK-ing.
As for the HMG, blah. I only pull it out to satisfy occasional Doom nostalgia. The Devs need to figure out what kind of role that weapon is supposed to have and rebuild it around that. A second rate AR is not an appropriate category. |

IDK... I'm trying to make the Registry in a Militia Minnie, not signing. But, HP buff is not necessary. It would help, but it is unnecessary. Don't know what you guys are doing meanwhile I'm getting 15-4 consistently. Scouts are good at point defense. Put some REs at objectives, stalk the hackers, it is quite fun. I can't imagine what the guy said when I blew up his Soma with my REs. |

WHat? no I have PRoto Prof dampening and proto Min, and unless i TRY and equip 2 PROTO PROF DAMPENERS i get detected nevertheless. So not only i have ONLY 2 low slots, i must use them BOTH to avoid being detected... yeah seems fun....
Fair enough, I must have been thinking of the adv, saying that the really high prescision 1 is designed for finding scouts, it has 12db prescision, what would you say is fair for a scout without dampeners to achieve? |

Sure thing! Which ideas? Adaptive/Active Camo - Sounds awesome! A great way to differentiate Scouts. Initial Suggestions - A zero-sum game will likely fail to break the Fall of the Scout. |

This one shotty, a suit for scouting and a suit for shotgunning as it were!!
Monkey MAC wrote:If I may, while my personal scouting experience comes from using the free suits marketing keep giving us, would you be happy if the current scout suit was left paper thin, but given buffs back to speed, profile, scan radius and 2eq slots, but you swap your light slot for 2 side arm slots
Then we give a "welterweight" assasin suit, with a little more health and bonuses to damage at short range as well and prehaps regen, it keeps its light weapon slot, but doesn't get the extra speed and equipment slots the scout does.
Good Idea?
I would prefer if you were to respond with civility in mind!! Edit forgot the "You", makes it sound like I would be happy, oops [/quote]

I just don't play DUST, seems pretty effective to me. CCP doesn't get any of my cash, until the game is good. End of story. |

Sadly i cannot go on strike with my heavy build. I do want the racial suits released asap as i dispise the amarr sentinel suit. Another weapon or two would be nice to add some flavor but id rather see suits before weapons.
Currently, in my experiences, the heavy class is....good for pubs and usually runs in the middle of the pack for PC battles. Obviously there are times where a heavy will finish top three.
What needs to be adjusted is the damage dealt by theHMG. Youll get hit markers all day long within the circle but damage is only dealt when the reticule is on the body, much like an AR when looking at the iron sights. The dispersion of the HMG is fairly speratic within the circle, which should cause damage if a target is within the circle. I understand that if damage was dealt while someone was just in the circle it would make the HMG very effective at killing. Maybe too much so that everyone would run to it like most FoTM, which isnt what i want. Though if effective range was reduced, slightly, and damage was dealt within the circle with its dispersion, it could be acceptable rebalance for the weapon. This would keep the heavy as a heavyweight champion in cqc. It could allow heavies to excel more in PC because of the shotty hit registration for the weapon.
Ultimately, we heavies need more variety. There are so many options for all the other frames. |
