Dude how the heck having 25 million SP and playing Dust for the last 8 months makes me a bad player ?

I play scout, I like the speed, I also die what I am saying is that Speed + Lag makes it impossible to shoot somebody down. I think you defend the scout because you make good amount of kills with them and you just want them to be kept OP. Its like trying to defend the Rail Rifle wich is the flavor of the moment.... In any cases have you seen the number of scouts now, dont tell me its not another Flavor of the moment which is like all the rest unbalanced... I know my rant will fall into the cracks anyway because most of you scrubs just want to find the next exploit and kill new players to feel good about yourselves. A review of this game today will find the same failings as it had before, total pit full of people that would sell their mother to have a wall hack. God I miss Quake3 and punk buster....

The aim assist is not a magical magnet... lag renders it useless...

This community should win an award for being the best game community out there, seriously your now my hero, I will now take you as my example when discussing with other players. Wow, what an amazing folk you are, why did'nt I was a bit like you before now ! I was living my life so wrong !

I honestly can't wait for Cloak fields.

We will never see a single enemy again. Someone will figure out how to exploit it, like everything else, the exploit won't be fixed, and DUST will be dead.

You know a video game company is bad when they release a dogpile like DUST. You know it's even worse when they just keep releasing broken crap, never fix the old stuff, and watch as the playerbase slowly fades away. You know that it's the worst dev team ever when they don't even attempt to talk to the players, and even take part in stomping on newbies (CCP Logibro, that's aimed directly at you).

There's talk on PSN that if the current devs don't start making deadlines, that the whole group will be sacked all over again. If this happens, do you think they'll keep going or just pull the plug?

I think they'll pull the plug. A venture like this has to make money. It wasn't, that's why the first team got fired. It still isn't.

There's really no way to 'fix' this game. The skill system belongs in a single player game, not a MMO. It encourages disparity between players that cannot be overcome. There is just no way to go back and change that much code. Also, the matchmaking system purposely puts pay players against non-pay players. The devs recognize the pay players want one-sided stomp fests, and since they pay the dev's salaries, they get what they want. If they didn't, nobody would be playing.

Unfortunately, the pay players are becoming bored with this arrangement and are buying less AUR items. Once a 30mil SP vet stops buying his 'Dren' this or that because he keeps losing it to a 2mil SP scrub with a cloak, we will all log on one day to

Reposted from the scouts thread:

Through taking part in the heavies event I'm starting to understand why there's this misconception on the relative OPness of scouts.

Had a match where I kept running up against a shotgun scout who was quite good. I think he got me three times out of five while I was running a 1200 EHP heavy, and two of those were from full health. He was able to get up close as soon as my back was turned from quite a distance, even though I was constantly scanning, and by the time I'd turned around to respond to the blasts to the back of the head I'd already be into armor. Added to that, once I could see him, he was so close that he would effectively be standing inside my arc of movement and maintaining a track was difficult.

I can see how this could appear to be lag/rendering issue to someone, even though the reality was just exploiting the limited field of view and his speed and willingness to get up close an personal

The funny thing is, as a strat, this would be just as effective with a medium suit if they were willing to run up and stand next to a heavy/medium to get the kill.

Most scouts use binary fits, where you either very rapidly overwhelm the opposition, or very rapidly die. People only remember the rapid overwhelming bit because they think it shouldn't be possible from a suit that falls apart if you frown at it, and not how easy it is for them to kill a scout if they catch them out.

I kill protos in my 175 shield hp min scout with a std combat rifle
Smg doeant have the range
