o7 Fellow Scouts. Many of us have been playing Dust on hard mode for more than 1 year at this point. We've stayed true to the way of the scout and endured the wrath of the Mass Driver, the TacAR, Scrambler Rifle spam, and now, of course, Rail Rifle and Combat Rifle wielding heavy suits (because that's fair, right?). Come 1.8, some of our concerns - nay - almost all of our concerns are being addressed. Unfortunately, our new shiny suits will now, for the first time since Chromosome attract the average Joe Schmo just looking for a high kill count. You know the type. FotM players - players addicted to the mild dopaminergic high emanating from their nucleus accumbens that they get from "owning" some new player in a militia fit while safely in their sentinel ak.0 with 1400 eHP and a Kaalakiota RR. I don't like these people. And their coming for our new suits.
Thus, I propose a "True Scout" Grace Period. 1 Week after the release of 1.8 in which the true scouts get to bask in the glory of their finally balanced awesomeness. 1 Week in which the try hards stay at home and the true scouts can enjoy the bliss of curbstomping those proto logis of Uprising updates past.

I really think most of them who currently run assault and switch to scouts are going to be easy targets for us true ninjas. They will probably want something else changed to give them an advantage so watch for the QQ. |

If any of them complain that the scouts are underpowered after 1.8 I will stab them so hard like Chucky on crack. And anyone calling for a nerf on scouts after that should be ignored because they don't consider the fact that usually it's a professional scout that kills them most of the time.

Lol@Scrambler Rifle spam.
I must have missed the memo. So, when exactly did this happen? A better question would be when was this ever considered FoTM? Because I have NEVER seen them used by more than 3 players on each side and have NEVER seen them completely dominate a kill feed.

I openly morn the loss of the 1.7 scout.
By bye my beloved hard-mode, the riff-raff is moving into the neighborhood.
I may have to switch to using light frames or even militia light frames so the game doesn't loose it's taste for me. Even thinking about the unwashed masses soiling the scout suit gives me the heebs.
Keep your 1.8, CCP. Keep your stupid cloak. But most of all, keep your new scrambler pistol stats.

Look at the bright side
if they get scouts nerfed most of us will already be used to hard mode so it won't make much difference to us.

Message from CPM:
After Hurricane 1.8 many medium frames have been displaced. A refugee center will be located in scouts and all displaced will be moved into scout neighborhoods.

Hearing notbing but brick tanked fits, how " it's unfair thay scouts get a cloak" to as far as people I know who were big time logi and heavies now going scout. Happy you're trying it, too bad you missed Aim Bot 514, shot gun and KBM getting anti aim assist, to insta gibb RR.
When I see Nyain spamming scouts like tanks.....
I was so happy for this update. Now I just want this buff to go away. |

How much are you willing to pay for my Minja to stay in his quarters? Then again he's a Minja not whatever a True Scout is so maybe this is moot.

Yup, my concern too. Also, hopefully cloak won't have some mechanic that can be abused that will bait the FoTM chasers. No doubt the idea of cloaks are gonna attract some tourists - which is fine as long as they go back where they came from eventually...
I've said before - tryhards won't have the patience to run scout when you have sentinels and commandos to choose from (the more short sighted ones will stick with slayer logis...).
If they rely on cloaks they are gonna fail to get the kills/KDR that makes their OPness feel all tingly.

^This, once they realize the suit alone won't help that much without the ways of combat we all learned the hard way, I am pretty sure most will move along to heavies either for the 10% damage boost (commando) or the incredible amount of HP (sentinel)

Dude just let people do what they do. Have fun and enjoy the game. Proper scouts will always shine. It was only last night that I played some of your corp.
We ran into to Lightning, Neausea etc... and we got beat. I have had scout suits since chrome but I have to admit I have not really used them much at all in a long time. I'm trying to get back into stuff, just play around with fits and what ever takes my fancy but it is VERY CLEAR that a proper dedicated good scout will always beat a fotm scout so why worry?

My gallante scout is prob going to be FOTM
That's makes me sad because it will be nerfed into oblivion when al the FOTM pimps starts to abuse it.
It will be left by the FOTM mob like a used condom that you throw in thrash after bad sex.
I will stay with it never the less. I am used to the hard mode that won't make me leave my beloved suit.
To al the scouts out there you al have my respect, some of you are blowing me away in how god you are in the scout suit now and in the past.
To the OP I can only say this you and your corp are one of very few that have its hart at the right place I would love to run scout with you al
Regards and respect

The bad thing is they'll dump ALL their SP into scouts and won't have much choice but to stick with it while crying for a respec on the forums. This is why I hate respecs. It ruins it for the few legit cases.

It's not scout on 'scout' that is the problem for me. Current scouts know a lot of blues don't understand how scouts work and fall for basic scouty tactics over and over...
I've even had to explain to my own squad, things like why I'm not moving directly with them when they attack that heavily defended point from the front (the fact you are logi with reps doesn't help me as much as you think...).
With buffs and cloaks, your average FoTM /newbro scout will manage to get some 'annoying/cheap' kills in - add in the old scouts who can top leaderboards already - your average forum QQer who loses their pro-suit once too often to REs, shotguns and NK, will suddenly label scouts OP/Scrubby and the nerf whine will begin.
I mean I remember being in a non-scout squad, the reds had a scout squad - between REs and ninja NK/Shotgun kills the city points were locked down. I tried explaining to my squad - we need to flux points and have someone cover the hacker. They can see us (...them) on passives relatively easily and we won't see them on our radar - we have to assume they are always ready to strike at us...oh and don't chase them around corners...
The responses I got?
'Thats ******* cheap...'
'Wait - so they will just hide until we have our backs to them? Gaaaay'
'****! That guy is just running up to people and knifing them!'
'I know right - I mean learn some ******* gun game'
'******* cheap ass ************ just knifed me, same cheap ass ************ who got me with that remote - ******* scrubs abusing broken ****!'
And that is now before the buffs we've been waiting for. I fully expect to receive hatemail about cloaks even if I wasn't using them.
The tryhards wont have the nerve to stick with it, but they may **** off other tryhards enough to cause detrimental QQ.
People hate what they don't understand.

Of course, none of you "true scouts" will be using the new cloaks lest you be compared to those you wish to denigrate. |
