Oh, that's right, CCP didn't include that mechanic, which is basically the ONE THING A SCOUT IS SUPPOSED TO DO. Why the F did you even include scouts at all?!? Do you mean the active scanner? That thing I have fit on pretty much every one of my combat logis, and a number of my assaults? No, it works like this. You point it at a target, the target shows up on the minimap of all your squad, and whoever is in a missle battery or whatever can lock on to your signal and shoot the enemy from miles away. It's awesome. We'd crawl through the sand, pop up over a dune, lase a T72, and BOOM the Apache pilot two miles away hits him with a Hellfire. Like I said, awesome. Scouts in DUST need to be able to do this. Having them running around like Power Rangers like they do now is foolish. I have aksed for something like this for months now. Many of the veteran "scouts" in this game often admit your key points - the light frame specialization shouldnt be named scout and CCP have done a woeful job of carving out a role. Scout is one of the roles, Assassin is supposedly another and Saboteur another. - Because mechanics and WP havent been setup for most of this then many people will play the role like Rogues and Rangers from other RPG styled games.

Sorry buddy, your hopes of re-living the old military days through Dust514 are done This is a sci-fi computer game, don't expect it to match up to your time in Military .... Dust is not real-life..... Yeah, I get that. I also have no interest in re-living my wicked awesome Army days with this wicked unawesome game. You see, laser designators were supposed to make it into the game. But they didn't. Why? It would be too easy to blow up AUR vehicles. This game only exists to sell AUR, so anything that could hurt sales will never make the cut. But, rather than scrap scouts all together even they don't have an actual, specific only to them role, CCP kept them in anyway. I mean, even -snipers- have a role in this game, i.e. shoot RR users. What is it a scout can do that some other class doesn't already do better? They slip by enemy lines flank create distractions ( because there stealth machanic) drop uplinks hack quicker min scouts create distractions so your team can push in. Be creative Dust 514 scouts aren't strait foward like most other suits . And Dust 514 is si-fi shooter not a military simulator get used to it. Caldari Loyalist

This has nothing to do with nova knives, other than I personally think they are the dumbest weapon in the game. Before any of you start puffing out your chests and start making all the "I'll show you blah blah blah" statements.... I got killed by a Nova Knife user. Once. During my first few days of playing. I was standing there, minding my own business, and this guy comes hopping across the map like a rabbit. I was like "WTF is this guy doing?" I thought he was screwing with me, so I started jumping up and down too. Then he stabbed me. I couldn't tell what he did, at first, I just lost a little health. Then a little more, Then I died. First time, only time. Oh, they try, but I just wash them away with the fire hose like effect of my HMG. I laugh every time I see that animation. Plus, they all give themselves away. Horrible, horrible. Jump right out, might as well shout "A-ha!" while they do it. Ninja, they are not. Thats down to the player though - not the weapon. The best Knifers you never see or only when its too late. There are others that use it only as a sidearm so they can silently take out flanked enemies or in CQC when they can strafe or surprise opponents who might try to rush them. I have been in rooms or around corners where I am trying to stay out of fire because the other suits have the HP advantage. Because of this they rush the poor little scout only to get surprised by two quick slashes or a timed charged slash. And I'm average. "Shine bright like a diamond"
Joel II X Dah Gods O Bacon 1369	Posted - 2014.03.02 17:28:00 - [98] - Quote Squad view is still here for scouts, but it won't show EVERYONE. Everyone can carry scanners. You forget there's barely any cover to keep looking for reds around the whole map. I agree that scouts should be renamed and that there should be another more scout based variation released as I have posted before. Their description mentions stealth and assassinations. America is not a standard (coming from an American). It's just a game. If you don't like it, leave.

Dust is not real-life..... This. But I agree most play the scout to offensive. Because most play alone and wanna earn WP to get SP. When I-¦m in a squad my main purpose is placing uplinks, hack uncovered objectives and kill sniper/scouts. I do see that this can be a description of the scout in this game. But, just my 2c. So, you use your scout as a logi? IS there anything you can do that another class can't? Everything you described I do with a commando. I'm just trying to figure if scouts even have a purpose. If anyone can do what they do, then I'd say they don't. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, just because a commando can drop uplinks, hack points and kill snipers doesn't mean its the best for the job. Otherwise we would only have 2 basic suits a heavy and a medium because between they can do every job EVER. It like telling my Minmatar Flanking suit is terrible because the Jobs I do with it can be done with any other suit. Which they can, but when your squad is pinned down I would much rather have a fast moderately dampned minmatar to say a lumbering brick tanked amarr as my flanker. But that doesn't mean someone else can play amarr as flanker it just doesn't suit MY style, it's not wrong but to me its not right either. We really only have 3 suits now, heavy, logi, and assault. but aren't you a dust514 super scub U Level 262 forum troll? Why should I Lisen to you? Caldari Loyalist

Awesome Pantaloons Lokapalas. 266	Posted - 2014.03.02 17:48:00 - [108] - Quote Why is everyone so against having some degree of realism in this game? I get that it is a sci-fi shooter video game, but does it not enhance the experience when something doesn't seem all that far from reality? Personally I enjoy it when a game throws in a few elements that mirror the world. Even 20,000 years won't change military that much. You know why? Because war... War never changes.

I have seen what real scouts do on a battlefield, and the wanna-be "scouts" in New Eden are no where close. Your mission is to get in a squad and find enemies for your squad. Your squad comes and kills the enemies while you slip away to find more enemies for your squad. It's so simple, yet, pretty much all scouts in this game get it wrong. This is easy to understand because CCP also doesn't understand what a scout's role is. Scouts are not ninjas. They do not carry weapons like Nova Knives. I personally find NK scouts offensive to my former professsion. Scouts are not CQCers. If you are engaging the enemy yourself, it's because you screwed up and they saw you. Scout's main weapons should be their laser designator. Oh, that's right, CCP didn't include that mechanic, which is basically the ONE THING A SCOUT IS SUPPOSED TO DO. Why the F did you even include scouts at all?!? God you guys suck at making video games. Sorry buddy, your hopes of re-living the old military days through Dust514 are done This is a sci-fi computer game, don't expect it to match up to your time in Military .... Dust is not real-life..... Yeah, I get that. I also have no interest in re-living my wicked awesome Army days with this wicked unawesome game. You see, laser designators were supposed to make it into the game. But they didn't. Why? It would be too easy to blow up AUR vehicles. This game only exists to sell AUR, so anything that could hurt sales will never make the cut. But, rather than scrap scouts all together even they don't have an actual, specific only to them role, CCP kept them in anyway. I mean, even -snipers- have a role in this game, i.e. shoot RR users. What is it a scout can do that some other class doesn't already do better? Would you mind sourcing that post for us? I've been around here for a LONG time, and I recall no mention of Laser Designators whatsoever. Btw, that would also include conversations with Devs in IRC. I would if I thought it would make any difference, but like that would happen. DUST 514 Super Scrub Level 262 Forum Troll Play, or play not. There is no balance.

Or some version of a laser designator, if only to combat tank spam. Or any of the rest. Any of you who play scouts are being seriously let down, and undermined by the game. Quit buying what they're selling and demand better toys. You super dust 514 scrub how many people does it take to tellyou that this is a sci-fi you idiot your days in the military is not dust 514 . So please SHUT UP!!! Dude, what are you jelly? Go enlist, it's easy. No one should be jelious of a scrub like you. Well, it's just that it seems like all you want to talk about is my former service in the United States armed forces and not all the awesome ideas for things scouts should be doing. It's almost like you're not paying attention at all to the conversation. Your profile says dust 514 super scrub Level 262 forum troll well I wonder ... Caldari Loyalist
