Having a blast as long as I don't have to engage in combat. But most wp gain is in combat unless you are trying to hack points that no one is at but the scan precision is 0 or close to 0 if you pay attention to when a red is pushing on a point and you die. they will light up from the scan of the point. this means people will see you there and spawn in and then your in combat. its really hard for the class to get an edge to get the wp that other classes can get so easily that is why others are asking for buff of some sort.

Right now, I have to waste 1/2 of my low slots just to avoid a Proto Scanner. Mind you, this is with maxed out passive dampening and Proto Scout. Thats around 3mil SP and wasting a low slot, all to avoid a piece of equipment that costs around 365k SP ( I THINK). Give me a decent cloak, and the ability to avoid PRO scanners without modules, and I will be a VERY happy scout. I will also stab you all. <---- Why I would be happy Minmatar Faction Warfare: Let's get Organized

Vulpes Dolosus SVER True Blood Public Disorder. 492	Posted - 2013.12.17 20:01:00 - [10] - Quote I think it's over exaggerated. People just don't want to play 'scout,' they just want an ultra fast, invisible, tanky assault. With 2 militia dampeners my 'Dren' scout is invisible to 95% of pub scanners (ADV), without any skills mind you. I run around with my STD scanner and 'Dren' shotgun picking off easy targets and ambushing the unsuspecting. If I'm seen, I get out of there ASAP. I rarely go below a 1 KDR, even in some pub stomps. If I actually skilled into shotguns, dampening, damage mods, and SMGs, I'd do much better (CCP release the pilot suit already!).

Seriously. Every other class has been OP once upon a time while the Scout has either been okay or just UP. Would be funny to get killed by a whole team of Scouts one day. O_O And scary now that I think about it... You can't see them on your scanner or passive scans. They can one hit you with a Shotgun and escape in no time. Remote Explosives galore. Combat Rifles. Cloaks. NO. SCOUTS ARE OP. NERF THEM NAO. "There once was a time when there wasn't a Roy Ventus and it wasn't much of a time at all." Roy Ventus
Fox Gaden Immortal Guides 1905	Posted - 2013.12.17 20:23:00 - [14] - Quote I run SMG, Swarm Launcher, Flux Grenades, and Remote Explosives on a Dragonfly Scout suit. In order to get kills with the SMG I run up behind a Red and follow them around the map about 2 m behind them, until they stop for a moment so that I can line up a head shot. Chances of wining a straight up gun fight for me in a Scout suit is somewhere approaching zero. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else, there is the Learning Coalition.

I doubt we'll ever see the E3 or teleporting Uprising 1.0 scouts ever again. I do like the idea of them being the anti heavy and flaking gods, but that should be only one of those uses.

Its a way different play style then my logi, Its all about flanking and sticking with CQC as opposed to going head on with any enemy at most ranges.

8213 BIG BAD W0LVES 1081	Posted - 2013.12.17 21:32:00 - [34] - Quote A few weeks ago my squad played almost an entire team of Scouts. We didn't have any gameplan against that. They beat us. Its hard to play well when you're literally spinning circles trying keep them from sneaking on you. Scouts are good for the right players. Not everyone can do it. I started as a 100% fulltime SG Scout and couldn't get my KDR above 1.05 for 3 months. I gave up and went Medium. I think a 1.00 KDR for a full time scout is rather good, but I can't settle for that after having to work beyond hard for little to no reward besides fun.

You live longer when you don't get hit by bullets too, lol, who has said otherwise? Fox was talking about a failed stalking attempt, not any direct frontline confrontation.The base issue that I see is utility and opportunity cost of running a scout. I have an offensive, defense and support scout builds. the the offensive/defensive are better for my kdr but I run support scout because that wins matches more often. He is a proto uplink complex hacker unit, but while the min logi is the red head of the logis, the hacking bonus with its speed/slot number it actually can do this just as well but with costing a little more isk and more ehp. People recognize what is OP and what isn't, its not that hard to spot, scouts in chrom were much more popular because they were op or however you define it, scouts now are seldom as the months go by, because they are in fact very under powered. Once cloaks come out I expect all the sloth / path of least resistance players to jump on the scout then though due to the novelty. So I agree with you in regards to not going to far like tanks because I would be upset over that, as the true tankers are now, the trend CCP is going is to dump things down for frontliners. I also would like non combat utility reinforced into the scout. Scouts current utility on the battlefield is city spaces, point defense, and long distance support running. The point defense and long distance running is not because scouts do it better per say but since these are less rewarding roles the are often left unfilled. Scouts are fine in pub matches, but that changes drastically once you leave pubs or start going up against major corps, which current stealth is lack luster with the focus plus a tank guarding each objective, which they do run a lot outside pubs. It is also the current counter to the yet to be released cloak. CCP's cloak fix is a scout hotfix, until they actually add more utility as mentioned in the dev blog, and from what it sounds like to prevent any large margins in scout utility increases they are making the scout buff available for all. So I don't think we are going to have to worry about OP scouts because the benefits will dilute itself a little across frames. Below 28 dB

The community just needs to realize they're SCOUTS; not light assaults.

Scouts just need to learn the proper playstyle but my dragonfly is a strafing beast and I can't wait to start skilling into the gallente scout. Why do people play pubs and think that are now the "god" of scouts? Go play against any kind of organized competition and you will see it's failings. The scout cannot equal a medium frame in nearly any way. They don't have the CPU/PGU to fit much, their speed can be equaled by a logi with a ease, their stealth is nice but is too easily overcome. The combination of these leaves it hurting. Play a scout in a few PC matches and then play a few as a medium frame. It's like playing with an SMG and then switching to a CR. While the SMg is effective the CR is exponentially better.

Hell no. Dropships weren't buffed in codex, but they weren't considered OP until that build. Why? Because HAVs were OP in the previous build and nobody touched dropships. There's always one OP thing that overshadows everything else; only those of us who stray from the beaten path notice what's truly powerful. That being said, for the last 2 builds, I've been terrified of anyone who has mastered plasma cannons. And this build, I'm terrified of any squad who masters dropship combat (I kindof want to see that though- remember that passengers are weapons too! Drop shotgunners into CQC) We used to have a time machine

CQC & support is where it's at. You can include sniping under support, as long as they are mic'd up and feeding info to the team/squad. Use a scout suit for anything else & your going to have a bad time. Let me know if there are other decent uses for scouts,would love to learn more.

OZAROW WarRavens League of Infamy 1105	Posted - 2013.12.18 01:58:00 - [56] - Quote Well it's like this, if you use a rifle on a scout an flank you ll do fine, the scouts that started as scouts in beta that ran pistols an nk an sg, find stealth broken to a degree because in your face gameplay has lost its value to TTK. The scout was built around " in your face" now it's rather dead an that's why scouts are irritated, use a rifle in any game, dust was built around certain diversities that are semi non existent or viable. Frustration with ttk when you work so hard to stalk a guy an a rail rifle cleans your clock at 100 m Ya sure strap a rifle on a scout an go 20/3 but the days of doing that with knives are dead an older scouts want it back, an the young scouts want the experiences the old scouts had, hence the situation. Scouts with 4.0 kit an 50000 kills are why ccp nerfed us expecting it was the soon to be norm when it isn't , Mr Musturd beats the crap out of proto squads with 40 kill games daily with knives an a pistol in a adv suit , does that mean you base a whole class off those stats? No but that's what ccp did due to the suits potential in the right hands, so of we all got that good would the suit be op? Hell no, it's the player an the dedication in the player, put a guys like you an flako an musturd an disgruntled an shotty in med frame logistics with rifles, see the problem? Ccp records stats, an scouts learned to get good in crap, they will always be dangerous an the suit had nothing to do with it, we're used to 300 HP , imagine us with 1000 HP an 3 damage mods, can't balance that, ccp just doesn't want scouts doing better than other suits, we're considered recon an stealth with no recon or stealth in the game just weak assault style suits sinc it is an always will be a killing game.

Give me a decent cloak, and the ability to avoid PRO scanners without modules, and I will be a VERY happy scout. I will also stab you all. <---- Why I would be happy Agreed It doesn't make since that you have to put more dampening modules on a suit that is already suppose to help make you incognito. The built in dampening is almost little to from what I notice, even in pc my Scout.gko can't escape a proto scanner To me the proto scout suit with dampening skills maxed should defeat a proto scanner without a module. That is unless the person running the scanner has fit precision enhancement module. Something to that effect. The entire system needs to be reworked.

They only need to buff just some stuff. I think that we should be more invisible really. Maybe a meter or two faster also? I mean like the Minmitar scout, we're the assassins of the game, so we should move faster and be more invisible to do our jobs more stealthy and quickly. With that being said about being an assassins, we are also the ones that should be going around hacking objectives. BUT seeing as how CCP works, if we ever do get a buff they're probably gonna over do it. Then we'll get nerfed to absolutely nothing :/

We didn't have any gameplan against that. They beat us. Its hard to play well when you're literally spinning circles trying keep them from sneaking on you. Scouts are good for the right players. Not everyone can do it. I started as a 100% fulltime SG Scout and couldn't get my KDR above 1.05 for 3 months. I gave up and went Medium. I think a 1.00 KDR for a full time scout is rather good, but I can't settle for that after having to work beyond hard for little to no reward besides fun. i'm working on getting mine to 2.0 my goal was to once be on top of the Scout Registry...but you know what happened now my goal is to get a 2.0 KDR 2.0 takes one of the following: 1.) Be insanely sneaky. Take on only targets you KNOW you can kill. Run from everything else. Camp objectives like boss (Legitimate strategy for a scout btw, we can be quite a distance from an objective and still get there in time to stop a hack). 2.) Get really good with fighting and flanking in a scout suit. Hit and run should become second nature. This takes experience, and intuition. Being a Sadist helps too. However, most people fall into a happy medium with these two skills. You sneak by default, and flank HARD when you see the cluster form. It's an art really. Also, this advice is for Minmatar Scouts. I can't vouch tactics for Gallente's, as their tactics change considerably with access to insane passive scans. Our knives and overall speed is better though SOURCE: 2.0 K/D scout since Uprising 1.1.

Stealth is AMAZING. If they all run ADV Scanners. PRO Scanners force you to gimp your already gimped suits. Which is why I want better stealth. I stated this on page one. Also, realize that we have two Scout suits, and only one is really a "Scout". The minmatar scout isn't really a reconnaissance suit at heart, it's actually a dampened assassin. It's goal is to create chaos and confusion. You should be THAT A$$HOLE, and try to **** off the enemy team. Knife people during hacks. Flank a group of reds trying to recover shields. Once they are pissed off, use that to your advantage. Lure them into groups of blue dots, or place RE's around corners. Make their life HELL. Playing scout right takes equal parts aggressiveness and intelligence. Play it well, and people will be amazed how you pull it off.
