If you mean "They announced," I was referring the info on the test server. @Severance Because it can still scan 99% of the player base? Also, I have no problem with the focused being able to scan everything. It has plenty of setbacks to account for its good precision. I do have a problem with the best scanner (Quantum) being able scan any scout that doesn't have 2 damps fitted (like min scouts didn't have enough going against them). !

Scouts will need 2 proto dampeners to escape proto quantum Gal Logi scans. Better off just using high HP medium frames and living with getting perma-scanned, or alternatively squadding up with a tanker, getting out to kill, then jumping back in.

That equipment slot can be used for other things but because your team has a scout or 2 they need to fill that slot with a scanner. Light cannot exist without darkness.

The opponents will need scanners on all four quadrants of the map to see everyone all the time. There is a place where you cannot be seen. The point of having a scanner is to get intel on an enemy's position so I can shoot his face off. A scout being on the enemy team doesn't really make a difference to that; if he dodges my scans, other people won't, and I can still shoot their faces off. With the new Gal Logi bonus, nearly no one will be able to avoid my constant, spammable scans, so I can shoot faces off with ease, confident that there won't be any dampened mercs who get below my scans (with the exception of a proto scout with two complex dampeners). What we're getting with this bonus is essentially a Duvolle Quantum scanner with the Focused's fidelity (21dB vs. 15dB, but for all intents and purposes, it is low enough to not matter). Unluckily for other scouts and all dampened mediums (I also play a dampened suit), we can no longer avoid Gal Logi scans without a huge sacrifice, so why should we even try? Why give up my HP going into a game when there's a good chance that no matter what you do, you'll get scanned (as a medium)? Better just to suck it up and go full HP from the get go.

There is no need to run PROTO scanner unless there is a scout on the field. Now there is no need since a advanced or even standard could do the job. Scanners pick up everyone, not just scouts. They are useful for ALL situations, and it is the only way to telegraph enemies on radar to squad mates. Scouts require far more sp and the suit bonus is meant to counter scanners, both active and passive. I need 1 complex and 1 basic just to be a Proto scanner and that is with max skills. Don't even talk about the focused scanner, it's not even worth trying to beat. If you add the bonus from the new Logi skill, IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT.

I run a proto scanner because it has a longer light up time as well as having sharper precision (Duvolle Quantum vs. A-45). This scanner also forces my enemies to use two slots (mediums) or one slot (scouts) to avoid my scans, which makes for a considerable HP disadvantage if they choose to do so. If these changes go through, don't kid yourself about people downgrading their scanners to advanced or basic. Anyone with the proto scanner will still use it because it'll pick up everyone. Why would give an enemy the chance to dodge my scans if I could guarantee that nearly everyone in the match could get scanned by using a better scanner? Just to be sporting? You shouldn't need to use a complex dampener if you have your scout skill to proto. With proto scout and dampening 3, you need only a basic or militia dampener to beat 28dB proto scans. After the Gal Logi scan buff you'll need two complex dampeners.

You level 5 scout and level 5 dampening to be able to hide with just 1 dampener. Impossible to hide from a proto scanner.

Sana Rayya WASTELAND JUNK REMOVAL Top Men. 686	Posted - 2014.01.08 15:54:00 - [27] - Quote Scanning nerf would just mean scanners will be next to useless in the hands of anyone other than the Gal Logi. If it's nerfed to the extent that only the Gal Logi can achieve the precision of the current proto scanners, it'd mean you'd only need a single complex dampener to get under the proto scans of anyone else, and the advanced scans of anyone else, you can avoid just by passive dampening bonus alone. What they should do is leave precision untouched and buff range or cooldown time instead. Precision is a delicate balance and really, any change which results in a higher precision for scanning using one suit, vs. others, will be OP for that suit. Before anyone says that that's what suit bonuses are supposed to do, keep in mind that the scanning mechanic is different from anything else in the game. Whereas uplinks, repair tools, and hives benefit your allies without really having an effect on your enemy, scan fidelity does exactly that. In this case, these scanner changes will make an entire class of enemy modules/skills worthless by destroying the stealth play style. The Focused scanner does this, but has severe drawbacks, which the Gal Logi scans will not have.

Soraya Xel The Corporate Raiders Top Men. 995	Posted - 2014.01.08 15:57:00 - [29] - Quote Every suit should have a counter. A particular logi suit sacrifices other bonuses to be able to detect scouts better. That's a good compromise. It's game balance. The likelihood you will see that many people using that suit, statistically, isn't that high. But yes, sometimes someone might be a really awesome scanner, and that's a good thing. Everyone should always be at risk. I'd like to be your CPM1 candidate

Everyone should always be at risk. You say that as if Gal Logi and scanning aren't the current FOTM. I think you're underestimating how OP this bonus is. There's not a huge difference in faster uplinks, longer lasting/healing nanohives, or a better repair tool. However, there's a huge difference in one person spam-scanning at 28dB and the Gal Logi spam-scanning at 21dB, namely in what it takes to dodge said scans. Mediums need 2x complex dampeners and (proto) scouts need 1 basic dampener and Lvl 3 dampening to dodge 28dB scans. For 21dB scans, mediums would need FIVE complex (making it pretty much impossible/impractical for everyone) and scouts need 2x complex to dodge them.

Maybe you just don't see it as a big deal because you don't know the kind of advantage you get when you aren't scanned. As an advanced suit using a dampener, I can take out protos primarily because they don't know I'm there, hence I get the first shot or can lay a trap for them, regardless of their higher DPS and higher HP. If EVERYONE now knows where EVERYONE else is, it'll just become a game where higher HP and higher DPS gets you the win. A game where if you don't pull out your proto first, you'll almost always lose.

If it couldn't scan everything would we still buy it? what would be the point? Same logic applies to profile dampeners, doesn't it? IMO both scanning and stealth should be a proficiency, which is costly on SP, cos its a proficiency. A proficient Stealth scout shouldn't be scanneable from a semi-specific Scanner user, in fact, only a proto Gallente Logi with the lowest dB scanner should be able to pick up the stealth scout. This makes sense because it will be nearly impossible to any other suit and scanner user who is not willing to go fully into scanning to pick up said scout. another one bites the Dust...

It also seems like it would make more sense for the Minmatar Logi to get the scan bonus for Infiltrators, Combat Engineers, and Demolitions experts. While the Repair Tool bonus would make more sense for Gallente Logi which is the iconic Logi-Bro suit. The shotgun is a Blaster weapon, so will not suffer against Gallente and Minmatar Heavies.

If it couldn't scan everything would we still buy it? what would be the point? And the point of the scout is to resist said scanner, if it can't do that...then what is the point of it? It was the only thing it could do better then any other suit...now it won't matter. Correction, the point of a scout is make them need a scanner. Get me? That equipment slot can be used for other things but because your team has a scout or 2 they need to fill that slot with a scanner. Light cannot exist without darkness. Without a scout there is no point to have a scanner, likewise without a scanner there is no point to a scout. Also, scanner has limited range. The opponents will need scanners on all four quadrants of the map to see everyone all the time. There is a place where you cannot be seen. You missed the point to such an extent that I think you may have hit a bystander. Scanners tell you were Medium and Heavy frame suits are in your area. In a sense they let you see through walls. Scanners donGÇÖt pick up skilled Scouts now, or at least the most popular scanner doesnGÇÖt. Yet lots of people use scanners. Think about that. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

From a coding standpoint, cloaks aren't that complicated to do. Cloaks will be a MAJOR game-changer for scouts, and would make most of this debate moot. Quick/Dirty Test Range Idea

The CPM stated CCP has listened to their request of not giving bonuses towards things that don't exist yet. That should mean the cloak is done or at least nearly so. As for the cloaking being a "major game-changer," I have my doubts. I already do well enough at avoiding detection now. I can't see the cloak being too much of an improvement. !

The new minmatar logi bonus isnt bad at all and reping two heavys with a six kin rep tool at the same time with 100/s reps going on each or 200/s with the core focused on a single heavy at just LVL 3(max skills 110sixkin/219 Corefocused) is nothing to to be disappointed at.The Hacking speed bonus while i will miss it, the oppertunityes to use it was few and far in between most of the time,compared to how many times you would need to rep a team mate through a match. A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
Lucrezia LeGrand 183	Posted - 2014.01.08 18:36:00 - [48] - Quote I'm a Scout and I don't think we should be able to dodge all scanners. A Scout should be able to pass under basic and advanced pretty easily, and under most proto with enough SP (Dampening lv 5 and Scout Lv 5). There should be a few Proto scanners where we would also have to use a dampner (maybe basic grade if fully leveled up). But part of Dust (or what should be part of dust) is that no one person should be able to counter any one other person completely. Make a proto scanner that no one can dodge, but then make it heck-a expensive.

It is a good idea that we are having these discussions, but much of the talk seems to not acknowledge that everything seems to be up in the air. From the comments of one CPM, it sounds like they are having some in depth discussion regarding the direction of Dust that may make a lot of this discussion a moot point. Just keep that in mind. Nova knifing scout masochist. I would be a sadist, but CCP won't let me.

The scout would know what part of the map to avoid and the rest of the team would know who to kill first. Add a touch of risk to that reward.

And he can do other things with a Logi suit, a Scout's only advantage is ruined with a bonus that already would be great for everything. You could run a stable scanner and pick up everything on the map, plus 4 highs, 5 lows, and have 3 other equipment slots. Stop trying to ruin the Scout.
