I hope to have an advantage facing these unforgiving enemies.
Some assurance please.
How will the scout of the future be? Stealth needs to be huge.
Thoughts CCP bros?

Playing super laggy matches are bad more my health and forum etiquette but...

IWS says one dev has acknowledged that scouts have it tough and that's about it, though I'm not too concerned about it anymore, based on another post, CCP devs just recently found out about tower forge gun tactics and were surprised by it, a tactic that has been here since May. That speaks to me more than anything, I completely understand slow progress but not knowing your product is an entire issue altogether, which means it took them about 3/4 of a year to receive the information, which they found out because another corp had to physically show them.

Regardless CCP put a lot of work in 1.7 so congrats on that, and if it took CCP 9 months for the first bit, then perhaps scouts will get something in the next 3 months.

I seriously think they owe us scouts. No, I'm not going to switch to a med frame.

I think after I finish working on setting up the next caldari fw coalition, I'll probably be taking a semi break because I am not being as constructive or as civil as I should be, which is silly considering that this is a game. Hopefully 1.8 contains something. Below 28 dB

Since when scout have a role in dust? Haven't you heard scouts have a really important role. We act like meat bags tranversing over battle fields attracting enemy fire, in the process cushioning every ones KDR that dare look at us. It's a bird! No it's a plane! Never mind it's just my shotgun in your face!

Maybe even some better mods available from the LP store But yes, it seems again ccp has made decisions based on the mid frames and ignored the other classes "...where Bylothgar the Ill-postured was made King of the People With No Name But Decent Footwear"
Kahn Zo Turalyon 514 Turalyon Alliance 140	Posted - 2013.12.05 15:41:00 - [12] - Quote Yes, med frames are CCP's bread and butter paycheck in game. everything else is expendable support to the med frame. How and what you role into, make out of it, is your own indulgence. You deserve what you tolerate. Pure Gallente

That might have some chance of success, and it would lead to a more informed (and hence more valuable for CCP) debate. RF Gyro: 12.5% damage bonus; 10.5% rate of fire bonus
Niuvo NECROM0NGERS Covert Intervention 845	Posted - 2013.12.05 21:25:00 - [15] - Quote scouts are depressing, scouts are game changers and no one gives a damn lol. We are the Special Forces without the Special. I want some thoughs from ccp as to what do they think about our role. I'm sure they know it sucks right now. What do they intend to do with it??
