TL;DR - this game should just have rifles and tanks if It wants to succeed.
First - let me educate you guys in the main three ways you can avoid being a scrub and actually show you got skills.
1. Tanks
2. Sentinel with any rifle but AR.
3. Armour tanked med frame With any rifle but AR (preferably with damage mods in highs).
Anything else is pretty much gonna be scrub tactic bullshit that makes the game totally not fun for new players and vets alike.
So as well as scrub REs there is shotguns! My proto squad were trying to take bravo and this one BPO scrub with a STD shotgun killed all of us with scrubs tactics.
First let me highlight the **** gun glitches.
1. Does way more damage than it it states - it actually has the same Alpha damage as a charged viziam+damage mods (the only legit way to get so much damage in one shot).
2. Reload individual rounds instead of having to reload a clip - no other gun can do that, so it's obviously a glitch.
The guy totally abused these glitches by:
1. Not facing us head on.
2. Hiding like a scrub after each kill.
3. Somehow knowing when we were coming around corners, up/down stairs - I'm thinking hack, since we got no 'you have been scanned' message.
We had to spread out, since we got RE'd by the same scrub when we were all bunched together (a pro tactic, you shouldn't be to counter that with AOE weapons). So, now that we were all separated trying track the guy down (he wasn't showing up on a proto scanner - more hacks I guess), he was just picking us off one by one.
This is like impossible to counter - he's got charged ScR damage without having to charge - the shotgun has absolutely no weaknesses!
Combined with hiding and playing like a ***** (most of us didn't even glimpse him before we died) this totally ruined our gameplay experience.
If this **** doesn't get balanced soon, new players are going to give up and so are vets.
Sort it out CCP.
At first I'm thinking you were going with the whole BS trolling nature of the thread, then I'm like nah this guy might be serious. So now I don't know which it is, but in case you're serious, sorry you ran up against a beast scout with skills who is playing his role to its max, but you just gotta tip your cap to the guy. Scouts are fun, but its definitely tougher to be bad ass with a scout than a medium frame.
Now that had been said
NERF THE NERF HAMMER!
Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.

Maybe a lot of people like me, looked at the new scout changes, figured out how OP they will become, and started skilling into them to try hard mode first.

Sort it out CCP. Nice work I think u win :-) I tip my hat to you good sir. Since I was the scout in that scenario, I'm going to take the compliments I've gotten so far as well ^_^ GG Zhale, Yeup, Oxskull.
I thought my troll sense was tingling, LOL good on you sir.

Take ALL of them back from the game so until at least 2.0, we will only fight by hitting each other with our fists.
In the end, it might be the better solution for everyone... And more important, it would clear the forum once and for all of all the : this weapon is OP, don't nerf that to OP thing etc.
You must be stacking myofibril stimulants...your fists are OP!
