Asher Night Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 456	Posted - 2014.02.20 09:14:00 - [1] - Quote Everyone and their mom is a heavy now. This would be okay if the game was actually balanced and glitch free, but it just isn't. All these ridiculous events - it's like having a NASCAR race with a prototype car on an unfinished track. This game was already hard enough for scouts, but I simply cannot deal with the shear volume of heavies. I just can't kill anything. I may get close, but then a heavy steps in the way and absorbs all the bullets and wipes me out. That LMG... I don't want to complain about it being OP, because that isn't the way to go, but as a scout I sure as hell don't have hit points, all I have is my speed, and even with ComKats, Com Shield Extenders, and Enhanced Armor plates I just cannot get away. They fire deal too much dps for my speed/small amount of HP. I just cannot get away from that HMG, even at a pretty decent distance it still wipes me out. It's just so accurate. What is my role as a scout if not to get in fast, disrupt the objective and get out? The heavy is designed to storm and hold objectives, so that makes things difficult for me, and now there's so many that I can't do anything with any objective. I try to take cover but I just can't make it in time. I try to stay in cover and never reveal myself, but that just means when I run into a heavy I'm face to face with them. I may be close to getting into safe cover, but then I get stuck on invisible debris, or just can't make it up that hill that my grandma could walk up. I try to move with my squad, but then I get wiped out because I'm not a heavy, lol. My problem isn't entirely with the HMG, I was just venting a little, my point is the game isn't finished enough to be pushing events and playstyles like this. I can make it behind a wall and still get wrecked because the scouts hit box lags behind them. I can sneak up on a heavy and plow away at him with my Ishukone Nova Knifes, charged, and do zero damage because all I get are blue shields because this glitch has still not been fixed. But of course he still gets tipped off that an attack came from that direction so then, they turn around and blow me away. I know I am not supposed to go toe to toe with them, and I try not too, but I have to fight eventually if I want to get anything done. In the past two weeks I managed to raise my KDR by .08, but since this event it's already fallen by .03. I simply cannot deal with all of these heavies and this event has seriously made this game unplayable for me, and this upsets me.

The part that sucks is you can easily be confined to one objective because of all of them. But at least you can still get kills with all the tanks running around. Plus I could jump in a buddies tank myself. Plus I have AV grenades that deal a substantial blow to them. Plenty of ways to deal with tanks.Not many ways to deal with heavies aside from coming in after your team has taken everything or just not playing the game.

THEAMAZING POTHEAD Nyain San Renegade Alliance 984	Posted - 2014.02.20 09:39:00 - [6] - Quote if you're gonna go scout vs heavy u got 3 real options- try and get him with remotes try and get to his back with a shotgun try and use your mobility with a long range weapon to outrange him if you're not doing those dont bother, and those are pretty difficult when your target is in a group, but scouts should alway avoid groups or in big firefights get behind the enemy then hit n run with a shotty... But anyways ya, killing heavies with a scout is best done with a scanner+shotgun combo, thats your best bet dude. GEEEEEEETTT SOOOOOOMMMMMEEEE!!!!!!

No offense but I've found that when most people say they aren't having any problems while being at a disadvantage, it's because they've always sucked lol I used to go 2 to 1, I even had a few 20+ kills, ~5 death games but then this event dropped and now I'm lucky if I go 1 to 1. I typically run shotgun (militia, I have no skills for it), SMG, or Nova Knives and my equipment is always nanite injectors or drop uplinks. Definitely not working for me now.
Scheherazade VII 216	Posted - 2014.02.20 10:31:00 - [9] - Quote shotgun to the back works quite well, I have 3x complex damage mods and im sure if you had proficiency they would die before they can even turn round. sometimes i get the third shot in sometimes they turn round and get me, honestly heavies make so much noise, don't run around in CQC, home in on your target when they make enough noise. i really need shotgun proficiency, want that rate of fire up!!
Pickle Sniffer Storm Wind Strikeforce Caldari State 46	Posted - 2014.02.20 10:49:00 - [10] - Quote those fatties show up like christmas trees on my radar if they get anywhere near me - maybe ditch the speed and stamina enhancements in favor of something...shall we say, more stealthy? I usually go between 5-1 and 20-10, with the odd horrible game thrown in. But you know what? Proficiency 5 proto scrambler pistol to the head with a complex damage mod will shut down most any heavy if and when they don't see me coming... if they do, all the kincats in the world aren't gonna outrun a bullet!

I think your equipment is where your going wrong then. Although its a bit noobish and not entirely necessary I run a quantum scanner. the ability to know the numbers and direction of players is too good to pass up. Also it counters the lousy peripheral vision. I don't know my KD as its not important and largely irrelevant as I play lots of roles including dedicated logi - which can have a high attrition rate. but I almost always go positive and like you been known to go 20 to 3/4 ish quite regularly. It mostly depends on the map (******* MANUS PEAK!) Edit: also I recommend the CR. Its perfect for mid range engagements but does require a good investment of SP to make it good for a scout "...where Bylothgar the Ill-postured was made King of the People With No Name But Decent Footwear"

Gavr1lo Pr1nc1p TRA1LBLAZERS 711	Posted - 2014.02.20 14:56:00 - [24] - Quote heavy killing instructions by gavr1lo pr1nc1p- 1) equip either -a. k5 spec. SG+SMG, or b. ishnoks+CR 2) For ishnoks, make sure you have the knives fully charged, and after slashing, rapidly press R1 again, the heavy may no have died 3) for shotgun usage, make sure you are within 2m before you fire for maximum effect. After you fire, it the heavy begins to turn, jump over his head, aim downwards and hit him right in the massive head hitbox, and listen to the glorious "Pwwwwonnng!" 4)get behind cover, scan ahead, and repeat Kills- Archduke Ferdinand Balance!

Yokal Bob G.R.A.V.E INTERGALACTIC WARPIGS 393	Posted - 2014.02.20 16:27:00 - [31] - Quote 1. A lot of people like this event 2. I see a lot of scouts including myself having a riot 3. HMGs are not OP, a good scout can run through the HMGs fire and round a corner to survive Tips Use walls and cover (open ground is bad and chances are you will die) Remotes are a scouts best friend Best way to avoid death when under HMG fire is to run and jump (running adds height and distanceand should get you behind that wall) Peek round corners, if it looks like a death-trap, it probably is, the speed of a scout can usually get you out depending on your reaction speed If your sticking armour plates on a scout go with reactive to give you an armour rep, this also provides you with a short addition to armour, without losing too much in way of movement penalty 1% for enhanced and complex Presision dampeners helps you conceal your exact location while enhancers help detect the exact position of enemy movements while amplifiers will increase the range of your scan radius CPM1 candidate I want my logi tank back

Aero Yassavi Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 6842	Posted - 2014.02.20 16:37:00 - [35] - Quote To be honest scouts are probably what have killed me the most so far in this event. Scouts can put themselves at a huge advantage over heavies if you do it just right. The only complaint I'd have about this event is it is pretty much exclusive to the HMG, since you're not going to get kills fast enough with the forge to hit the bonus cap of 1500 kills. An event like this could of really waited until we get a more complete set of heavy weapons. Hopefully they return to this event at that point, like they said they would return to the scout event sometime after 1.8 with all the scouts released.

They were the fun to kill during the Shinobi event, though I haven't actually pulled out my scout for this event. Trying to get all that bonus SP and such. Just ditch that shotgun of yours, put on some RE's, put on a combat rifle and some Ishukone novas and go to town on the fat tubs of lard. You're a scout! Make everything bow to your mighty knives! ... unless you're using a Gallente scout, in which case RE's are your best friend, and range amplifiers, those are your friends too! Sometimes I miss never seeing tanks in a battle... then I remember the mystical flying soma, and I can't help but smile.

Moorian Flav Ectype Inc. 142	Posted - 2014.02.20 17:40:00 - [38] - Quote I've gone Min Scout vs Heavy and won. It's even easier now during this event as most heavies are on bottom end. In my honest opinion, try flanking and/or sneaking up on opponents instead of running straight at them if you're using a Scout suit. I don't troll; I tell the truth.

On to the practical matter of killing them fat bastards - well a lot of advice has even given already (REs are my personal fav...Shottys are nice against all the MLT/STD...) The only other tactic I've got to offer is taking advantage of the HMGs spin up time/relatively low Heavy regen rate ( especially compared to a scout) and cover - Use something like a ScP, ScR, possibly SMG or AR - I guess CR would work but I've never really used them. Peek out of cover (use your scoutdar to pick the most advantageous moments) take shots - and the moment you even notice their weapon firing, pop back in, wait for the firing to stop for a second, recover your shields at least, and repeat. A flux at the beginning can help speed up the process. I guess a scout using their radar carefully, could use a RR for this (timing the spool up time to match coming out of cover), but if you are using RR, you can just engage from 70m or whatever. Saying all that, outside of data collecting, I do think they could do better then class specific ones... I never felt hunted down during scout event, I just killed a lot of scout tourists - if I was interested in using NKs I would have already... You probably don't know me. But next time you get gunned down or exploded by a Valor scout...check the name.

They buy Aurum Sentinels and Aurum HMGs to get up to 750,000 SP and then perhaps realize they like buying gear with Aurum then CCP makes more money. Let's look at this, 750k SP over the course of two weeks. That is 375k more SP per week. That is like running a x3 booster for two weeks. So during this event would your rather spend Aurum on boosters or on Sentinels/HMGs if you don't have them unlocked already? This gets people used to buying gear with Aurum and then maybe in the future they continue to do so. And Aero said unto his children, "LET THERE BE A REGISTRY" CPM Info and Q&A -Status: Open

What is my role as a scout if not to get in fast, disrupt the objective and get out? The heavy is designed to storm and hold objectives, so that makes things difficult for me, and now there's so many that I can't do anything with any objective. I try to take cover but I just can't make it in time. I try to stay in cover and never reveal myself, but that just means when I run into a heavy I'm face to face with them. I may be close to getting into safe cover, but then I get stuck on invisible debris, or just can't make it up that hill that my grandma could walk up. I try to move with my squad, but then I get wiped out because I'm not a heavy, lol. My problem isn't entirely with the HMG, I was just venting a little, my point is the game isn't finished enough to be pushing events and playstyles like this. I can make it behind a wall and still get wrecked because the scouts hit box lags behind them. I can sneak up on a heavy and plow away at him with my Ishukone Nova Knifes, charged, and do zero damage because all I get are blue shields because this glitch has still not been fixed. But of course he still gets tipped off that an attack came from that direction so then, they turn around and blow me away. I know I am not supposed to go toe to toe with them, and I try not too, but I have to fight eventually if I want to get anything done. In the past two weeks I managed to raise my KDR by .08, but since this event it's already fallen by .03. I simply cannot deal with all of these heavies and this event has seriously made this game unplayable for me, and this upsets me. Dude we're scouts, we just have to deal with it until 1.8 comes out when we'll be wrecking everybody...just wait... you'll have your revenge XD "One does not simply" look for a scout, it looks for you.

(Not even I would hold my breath for racial heavy weapons.) That is the reason the Commando event was delayed, after all. So 1.8 could land and we could have a Commando event with all the racial Commandos? (Hint: That's the reason.)

This would be okay if the game was actually balanced and glitch free, but it just isn't. All these ridiculous events - it's like having a NASCAR race with a prototype car on an unfinished track.

As for my tips, here is a simple seven step guide to killing heavies: Step 1. Plant a remote explosive, preferably behind a corner where a potential client can not see it until its too late. Step 2. Locate a potential client. In this case, a big burly heavy Step 3. Scratch his back to gain his attention, preferably fire a single shot in their body region. They're fat so it shouldn't be hard to hit Step 4. Lure the heavy behind the corner where you placed your remote explosives in Step 5. Equip your explosives and detonate when the heavy is right on the explosive Step 6. Watch the heavy's body disintegrate into DUST Step 7.

Asher Night Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 458	Posted - 2014.02.21 16:10:00 - [59] - Quote I want to thank everyone who replied to this thread. To everyone who reccomended Nova Knives, as I said the blue shields glitch where you do no damage is what wrecks me. My Nova knife specialization is at 3, which I regret speccing into at this point in the game. But it seems the general concensus is to use remote mines/shotgun. This kind of sucks because there should be more ways to play besides this. Having one role should not force you into one playstyle but I have to remember that dust is not so much about 'skill' as it is 'experience', so you have to just use what items you have to beat what they have. Paper, rock, scissors. I'll pick up some remote mines and see how it goes. Are the basic ones fine?

The scout event was also a bit random (Shinobi). The idea behind both of these events is to gather more info on the relative efficacy of Heavies/Scouts vs. Other suits ahead of releasing all the heavies and scouts I imagine. There's definitely a lot of "noob" usage of both suit types for both events, but that's intended I imagine. The average "new" player is most likely in a medium suit of some kind normally on account of the starter fits being medium, etc. So, more newbies in the other suit types probably evens out the curve somewhat. The days of super-scout speed tanking have passed too I think (since current speed limits are apparently engine limitations), and they're in the midst of balancing the hp of the current scout paradigm against the concept of new heavies, new scouts, and adjusted weapon damage on their end. That said, it makes my heart go out to the apparently will-be gimped Amarr scouts that'll be assault-speed. Dren and Templar equipment stats, wrong since release.
