Rei Shepard The Rainbow Effect 1408	Posted - 2014.01.13 12:27:00 - [1] - Quote Since 1.7 hit, ive not seen much use of my SCR seeing the new toys are hard to pass up on and i had been using the SCR since day 1 as an early adopter before it became cool. Some people might still have fond memories of me when they faced me with my Imperial SCR, others not so much....hmm i guess everyone facing me could be put in the not so much category. At Day 1 you needed to suit to get any Heat reduction, though the gun was good even without it but it had a crappy bonus to reduce chargetime, later came the skill induced heat reduction and the gun became more widly adopted. At this point intime having had to play within the previous limits, those extra 4-5 shots rally made the diffrence for us early adopters, now in 1.8 they are going to put the cork back in reducing us to just the bare heat needed to kill 4-5 guys while having to strain myself not to overheat at all times, causing me at many times to die due to user failure. So now having tasted the new guns, CR and RR ive adopted the new Assault RR for CQC engagements quite well, though its not as spring loaded as the SCR, it packs quite a punch for extended firefights or allows me to swap weapons whenever i need. That alone saves me quite allot. You never know if those 5 guys you just steamrolled through had a 6 the guy in their squad. Now when i used the SCR ive been called allot of things, from Turbo Scrub to AA loser to outright saying "i should go ******* die in a fire" but most of the time its Turbo AA and i should turn those off and "Get Guud Newb". Regardless, i got pages of it upon pages. So now that i am using another gun that you cannot obviously use a Turbo controller on and making the same scores as with the SCR, but i am dying less most of the time. But now i am apparantly Lag Skipping, up to the whazoo and i should not use Nano Hives, because people want to do bad things to my hives and another part of me where the sun doesnt shine, though i have to believe dem people i am still using the AA feature somehow with my Razor Kayboard, Razor Mousemat and Razor Mouse. So far the most hilarious mail i got was from MetiumMagic or something, biting the floor with his SCR on 9 something occasions in CQC vs my Rail Rifle, ideally i should have been dead 9 times if i faced myself. So he mails me something along the lines of "Lagswitching, couldnt hit you cheater", so i return a "Lol 120mbit internet connection, get guud scrub" and i get back from him "You don't know who you're talking to" Sure he killed me a couple of times while i got swamped in Red Solo as i ussually run and he nicked the killshot, but yeah....well can't beat everything all the time. But its funny he says that to me :p I don't know yet what i am gonna do in 1.8 most likely pick up just 1 Gun, as opposed to having specced 4 guns to all lvl 5's, i am veering really hard to the RR or CR because i am so CQC orientated, but i dunno i gotta see the new slot layouts if there are any on the revamped suits. What are the other SCR users gonna go with in 1.8 if we get a respec? Winner of the EU Squad Cup "Go Go Power Rangers!" "Accuracy"

With the possible removal of the bonus on the Amarr Assault, the weapon is going to become even more useless to me. Currently I use the RR and AR. I'll still use the SCR some, but not as much as I once did. Yeah pretty much how i am feeling right now, the SCR filled a gap, but now the RR also is a strong contender to the same kinda range/feel of the weapon, but it doesnt carry a death penalty when you screw up a single time.

Rei Shepard The Rainbow Effect 1423	Posted - 2014.01.15 07:46:00 - [11] - Quote Quote: Rei! I've been wondering where you've been, hiding in that EU timer are ya >:) As a day 1 ScR + ak.0 user I feel the same way; the best bonus in the game, that makes an assault suit better at assaulting... sighh I've managed to save nearly 6 million SP towards the release of 1.7 and I finally spent it on getting proto on the new rifles and a Scout gk.0! and I <3 it :) So while you've been running around in with your RR I've been running a scout mostly with the combat rifle and ScP or SMG combo, I'm really enjoying the (literal) change of pace. Havent been playing a whole lot lately, been working some on a personal project. Ive been wanting to spec in another suit, but ive always found a better use for it somehow without accessing the vehicle three, KBM hates Vehicles and i need to shuffle my mouse over the pad like 20 times to turn 1 full cycle, its impossible, but if they give us a respec i might get a scout, could be fun. Quote: I equip the RR for long range open ground areas and the CR for close range armor killing extravaganza but in the end the ScR is the only weapon I feel comfortable with. I'm extremely sad to think that I'm going to lose my beloved heat sink that was so useful for my playstyle, which involved firing volleys of a Charge shot + 3 or 4 shots in very quick succession, the heat sink allowed me to produce 3 maybe 4 volleys depending on my heat management and sidearm usage; it took about 5 patches while fighting you and Lea Silencio until I finally felt that I have mastered the weapon and my playstyle. And now I guess it is time for me to adapt once more. If there is no more heatsink on the amarr suit, i don't see a reason anymore to spec it as any other suit will just be as good with it, its sad really, the RR is quite good and ive been using it as a new CQC weapon with adapting my playstyle to pre-firing around corners or at least when theres a chevron behind the wall and it even outguns certain people who think they own with the SCR, i really thought that i was near the top with my SCR skills until i played one match against you with your templar one, ive after that gone many games with the templar BPO suit and BPO gun, no damage mods to get better at it and at the top of my game i feel like it got too much flak and would get the gun nerfed at some point and maybe i have gotten it nerfed, as each evening i played with it, posts would pop up about how OP it was in CQC, i remember CrotchGrab's post quite vividly after he went a round against me :p and even CEO_Pyrex said if he ever got CPM, he would use all his power to get the gun nerfed after 1 game against my lovely Imperial SCR with his team. Quote: I've recently been running a PC fit which included my Viziam ScR in a gk.0 scout in hopes to get used to the limited engagement capabilities of running it without an assault ak.0; this means 2 volleys and 1 charge shot before a complete overheat :( but I'm getting a lot better and clever about switching to my sidearm, flying in and out of cover, and simply positioning myself better and with the scout suit I am able to do that more efficiently (and invisibly) compared to my lumbering ak.0 suit With they way weapons & heavies r gonna work, every encounter with a phat suit will mean Overheat in your face, they are nerfing the flat out damage increase and adding resistances, with a RR or CR you can keep firing, with the SCR its gonna overheat at the point where you just started on his armor methinks. Quote: In all honesty if you look at the bonuses both Caldari and Gallente are getting more raw EHP and Minmatar are getting an increase in DPS in terms of damage mod efficacy; in other words their bonus either keeps them alive longer or allows them (minmatar) to kill faster. From this I don't understand the reasoning to remove the amarr assault bonus, keeping it would be the more logical decision Gallente and Caldari: Plate and Extender bonus = More EHP Minmatar and Amarr: Dmg Mod and Heat Sink bonus = More DPS What do you think rei? All in all I've managed to get to a point in my SP progression to gain and nearly max out a second suit so I'm not completely heartbroken, but heartbroken nonetheless. The Sinwarden will just never be the same :( EDIT: I was actually going to start a threat to summon you and discuss these rumored changes but lo and behold you beat me to it ^_^ I don't know what to think of the changes that are incomming, but the suits with a modifier for something that will "ALWAYS" be on your suit wins in my eyes, EHP is always usefull, something that gets a bonus from a module that might not be in your fit this time around is useless. Needless to say i wont be fitting a repair module, i mean i havent fit one since Reactive plates got into the game, so thats quite a useless modifier on the Amarr assault. Ill most probably going to go Caldari or Gallente, but i might get a Commando suit with my leftovers, got almost 31m sp to go through and i got 4 weapons at all 5's. But i need to see the slot layouts first. Winner of the EU Squad Cup "Go Go Power Rangers!" "Accuracy"

Although I went back to my roots and ran an ADV ak.0 with the templar, and it felt like the days of old again :) I've gotten addicted to speed and running a scout has been very good practice for me. Its sad to think that ScR specialists like you and myself are already talking about parting with the ak.0; the suit has been my whole Dust career... I AM the Sinwarden...

I'll most likely go back into scrambler rifles, I like them, they don't have the range they used to, being topped by the RR which by far is now the most wide spread weapon I see.... but! We justice in our hearts we will destroy those FoTM scrubs and win back our place as the true Gunslingers of Dust 514! Ill might pick it back up after some time as a secondary weapon but after using the RR and then back to the SCR yesterday each time i messed up i was killed by the next guy who with the RR would have died right there.
