"You have been scanned" "You have scanned" All the time.

I tried the advance for myself and it's a joke. It's OP and kills any tactics. Flanking is dead, now everyone knows where everyone else is at now. Why don't we just remove all covers from the map and shoot at each other in the open and whoever has the most HP/DPS wins.

The only way to counter that scanner I think it's to play a scout with dampener. Everyone else is doomed to stay forever on the enemy scan.

Either nerf the scanner to 2 seconds max (just to get a glimpse of the enemy is enough not this BS scanner)

or remove it entirely and put back team shared vision.

As it only shares the results with your squad, its not OP unless you're in a full squad. Even so, it provides amazing tactical awareness.

I could of sworn it provides details with the whole team, as I recall some matches where no one in my squad ran scanner yet we still saw the flashes.

I have eletronics 5, dampening 5, range 5, and precision 3. But I dont use modules because my role is to assault.

Then don't try to solo objectives. Yeah, your job is to assault, but that doesn't mean you can walk anywhere with impunity.. ESPECIALLY if they know where you are. Stick with your squad, move cover to cover, and be ready for the enemy. Get your own scanners. Find out where they are. Send scouts and suits with low profiles to flank.

Yeah you are right that scanning has kinda killed flanking for Medium and Heavy frames. But it has given the light frame a purpose that it has sorely needed for awhile.

... Even if I'm playing with a squad. Defending Squad scans Attacking squad, Attacking squad scans defending squad. And now everyone (defender and assaulters) knows EXACTLY where every individual is. It's silly ...

Scouts with dampeners will still shine with team shared vision.

My gripe is the scanner that lasts for 16 seconds (havent checked the prototypes) when the effect runs out u just renew it.

I would be fine if it lasted 16 seconds but had a 30+ seconds cooldown. This way you have to time well your scans because there is a brief moment where your squad is blind and thats the time to attack.

But this ways is know where your enemy is 100% of the time.

At least the attacking squad would have at 15 seconds to surprise the defenders. Think of it as a surprise attack where the defenders struggle at the beginning until their scans fires again.

If you are a medium frame and have level 5 profile dampening, the normal scanners won't pick you up. If you are a shield tanker you can probably afford to use any spare low slots for further profile dampening against higher tier scanners. If you are a heavy frame you're don't have much of a chance to hide from scanners. If you are a scout, well congratulations - you have your first advantage!

I'm not saying remove active scanners entirely, just nerf the time of effect or increase cooldown time.

Just a few seconds is enough to gain a huge advantage over the enemy.

16 seconds and then u just renew with another 16 seconds as soon as it's over = EASY MODE

jesus - everything to this community is easy mode. First it was heavies, then missiles, then laser, then flaylock, then MD, then forge, and AR will always be called easy mode. And now... SCANNERS.

I'm still waiting for someone to say dropships are easy mode.

The active scanner has been out there for along time i guess thats the equipment of the month . Just use dampeners i use militias and they never find me

The scanner was irrelevant until shared team vision was removed. I'm betting it stays an important piece of equipment.

Even with a shorter duration or increased cooldown it will still be a important equipment.

You don't need to track everyone all the time. Just a few seconds is enough to discover the red dots and then murder them.

Its not breaking the game, you just don't like it.

I thought it was broken before when everyone knew where everyone was at all times pretty much. Scouts can now spot for snipers by scanning.

I know some guys that are true killers say they like to see that they've been scanned. They basically just wait for the red dots to come to them and murder them.

Scan Assisted kills by your squad will net you 15 glorious WP

Okey dokey...

Currently if multiple people scan an enemy they will all get the assist for the kill. Only kills from squad mates will net you WP. Kill assists from squad members will not net you any WP.

Not currently but we are adding that functionality (literally) at the moment. You will not have it in the first iteration though.

Oooooohhhh hahahahaha you're kind of late for that one! In closed beta it was common to lodge a Dropship on top of a tower and shoot at everything that moved with small missiles. Back then we had vision across the entire map, as swell as explosives actually had BLAST radius. Dropships were both durable and easy to fly on top of that! Basically the map was blanketed by missile fire from Dropships on top of towers. Average lifespan outside of cover was about 5 seconds.

Heavy retaliation resulted in the blimps we have now....

This guy's complaining about being scanned when he has dampening to proto already....

*Shrugs* Suggest some type of droppable equipment that acts as a Jammer.

If Scanners were EASY MODE, then everyone would use them.
If everyone used them, then we'd back to Shared Sight.
The only thing that has changed is that there is now benefit to having a Dampened Profile.

When everyone starts realizing how broken the scanner is now, we will be back to shared sight.

Except that no one will be able to take a dump behind cover because everyone will know about it.

Meaning a Dampened Profile will now make a difference.
When Shared Sight was in play, it did not.

LMAO This has to be the mother of all QQs. Before patch everybody appeared on radar and you didn't complain. Now that that silly thing is fixed you're complaining because they used a thing to catch you in radar? GTFO

I have eletronics 5, dampening 5, range 5, and precision 3. But I dont use modules because my role is to assault.

Oh, you are Assault? Then shut up and assault. Trigger puller, you don't have enough brains to scan or not be scanned. You are being paid to sponge and apply bullets to other sponges.

Gah, people need to stop, think and try altering thier approach to the fight instead of instantly and constantly declaring everything they don't like as OP.

Adapt and overcome. Or just whine until Darwin shuts you up

Of course it did.

I had profile dampener lv 5 and dropsuit command lv 5 (not sure if that was the name, which also reduced your profile)
and no modules on proto assault and red dots ignored me often. They could only see my red name when they aimed directly at me.

It seems like you're the only one here with a complaint. Maybe a couple of others, but that's it. Everyone else doesn't have a problem with the active scanners.

I assume your assault with 50db signature?

Level five profile dampening will bring your new profile to a scouts stock signature of 45 db
One complex pd will bring you under the advanced 36 db scanner by giving you a 33.75 signature
2 mods will get you under the proto 28 db
Only a few suits in the game can beat 15 db

Get ur skills up

EDIT: I'm not QQing about it. I'm using the scanner. I have proto damps. Scanner should light red dots on the scanner only. Not X-Ray Vision as we have now. If you insist on X-Ray Vision, then lower duration/increase cooldown. Otherwise it's easy mode. IMHO

Shouldn't the enhanced pd module be enough to bring a 50 db suit down to 35 db, which is enough to ignore all advanced scanners?

10% from the skill alone plus 20% from the enhanced module = 15 db reduction. Or is my math wrong?
