I've been getting nothing but blue flare almost everytime I shoot someone with it. It doesn't matter if their in militia fit or proto it STILL DOES NOT REGISTER. I try to have faith in you CCP, I've been here since closed beta. But you honestly make me want to delete my accounts and tell everyone not to play this game. You need to straighten up your act on getting core mechanics down or else NO ONE will play this game, even with a F2P tag on it.

calm down.

They'll get around to fixing that.... eventually. Not that you need it; going 22-0 with it.

By the way, my corporation want to know if you're interested in joining one.

I really appreciate the offer but this build has been nothing but nightmares for a shotgunner. And if that scout buff doesn't help, I'm just going to delete my account. Why invest in something if it gets worse each build?

it's really all the same issues that were supposedly addressed but evidently were just minimized. Not sure why it's so hard to fix these issues, but it's pretty silly. Can get good results but doesn't change that the core problems are still there.

I dunno, I just went 24/5 with a Militia Shotgun tonight with zero SP invested in Shotty Skills in the fit below. Granted the opposing team was pretty damn stupid. They kept ignoring me(probably because they couldn't see me on their radar bwhahaha) and just kept at trying to hack the objecting and I kept shooting them one by one then hiding around a hill. I did manage to kill moving targets as well. Not saying there isn't a problem just my experience tonight is all. I didn't use the shotty much before 1.4 so I couldn't tell you how much it has changed.

Adv Minmatar Scout dropsuit

Highs: 1x Complex Shield Extender, 1x Basic Shield Extender

Lows: x2 Advanced Kinetic Catalizers

Weapons: Militia Shotgun, Breach SMG

Grenades: Std Locus

Do it.

EDIT: Oh and biomass the characters just to be on a safe side. Don't want CCP claiming more players based on character count, do you?

Oh and I forgot one more thing my favorite bullshit move of them all against shotgunners:

When fighting someone and they jump midway (not peak but mid way) it will almost ALWAYS negate a shot from a shotgun. Unless they hit the peak of the jump then it registers. There's another glitch CCP, your welcome.

The problem seems to be that the shotgun shoots where you last shot and not where your currently aiming

Here's a video I took of it (sorry for the bad quality, it was taken with a phone)

I really hope thats just a graphical error.

Should test it out on a red.

* Kindly note that these tests were performed post-fix.

I have had mixed results, now mind you I run a logi most of the time and just run a militia scout with a militia shotty because well its cheap as hell and I do have some good matches when I get flaked up on the enemy team.... Head to head is dicey with the hit detection as some shots that were no doubt about it on target miss almost as if the shot from the gun has a lot of travel time as opposed to the shots from an AR are instantaneous same for the SCR but why would shot round have longer travel time?

delete those accounts. you won't be missed

if i see a shotgunner at close range i'm dead regardless of what i'm wearing even if half your shots are missing. you do realise when its fixed they are then going to be op and get nerfed

delete those accounts. you won't be missed

Shotgunners don't appear next to hostiles by magic (except in Ambush).
Nerfed later or not, it'd be nice to see these mechanics straightened out.

I've had HMG guys appear 2m behind me by magic when I'm in a Scout suit.

Passive scanning has been pretty screwy at times since 1.4 dropped.
