Dj grammer Red Star. EoN. 172	Posted - 2014.04.10 04:45:00 - [1] - Quote Just got out of an ambush only to face an entire team running scout suits. Is it because of the bonus to precision and dampening you get? Is is because you always wanted to be one? Or is it more of the "FOTM because of cloaks and they are the new thing to use because of strafing?" NO QQ here, No BS. I feel that people are running scouts because you can easily tank them (in that case you nerf yourself) or the fact that everyone can be seen easier. I do not know. This is why I am asking the question and want your input. Open Beta (12/13/2012) to a 1-year Vet. Have been a Logistics user since Uprising 1.0. Yea that old.

Now if you want to address that issue without nerfing all suits that run Armor Plates or the eWAR Scouts please feel free. I have yet to see a good idea. However, i'm partial to just leaving it be right now. Game is pretty balanced currently.
LEHON Xeon Ahrendee Mercenaries Dirt Nap Squad. 412	Posted - 2014.04.10 04:53:00 - [6] - Quote Ran a scout suit back in 1.2 Decided it would be kind of fun to pick them up again mainly because of the skill bonus and slot overhauls, not cloaks. Was glad I did, but I also feel cloaks need to be adjusted somewhat. Always the last person to leave. Always the one cleaning up people's messes.

Crimson ShieId Psygod9 D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 331	Posted - 2014.04.10 04:59:00 - [9] - Quote Scout since late Chrome, so what Kaisar said in that regards... mostly... But yes, I think a large part of it is the FoTM thing. Scouts being given so many buffs allows them to now function as light assault suits, and even part time logis due to the equipment slot buff. The cloak is a fun piece of equipment as well and allows complete domination of players who aren't experienced in dealing with scouts. Plus of course, the other buffs to the E-Ware department really help. A lot of players switched over because of all these buffs, even the ones that avoided the scout suit before since it was considered UP (At least the Minmatar scout) by most of the community. Speed, versatility, E-Ware, cloak... There's really not much of a reason not to go into the scout suits right now, thus why you're seeing so many of them. The numbers have dropped a bit though, as the first day or so of 1.8, almost every single player was in a scout suit. Now, most games, you may see two or three per side... or rather, you may not see two or three per side, depending on how good they are. This is one of those FoTM's you should definitely get used to though, because the cloak is fun as hell, and until something more entertaining comes out (CCP, jetpacks, please?) they're going to continue to see use on the battlefield in relatively high numbers (At least compared to pre-1.8 levels) If you want to take advantage of all the noob scouts though, the commandos make for wonderful anti-scout suits (Assuming you have good situational awareness. Minmatar commandos are especially dangerous with that MD. Nova Knives are OP! Nerf em before you lose all your proto suits!

This is why I am asking the question and want your input. I've always loved flanking as my primary method of killing. Pre-1.8, this role was best served, for me, by the Min Logi- super fast hacking, plenty of equipment, only slightly slower than scouts. Then they took away my hack speed bonus and replaced it with the most boring bonus in the game, gave scouts a real role bonus, buffed their slots, and gave my dropsuit SP back. At that point it was an obvious choice for me. Scout now and forevermore! Nerdier than thou

Vicious Minotaur Tronhadar Free Guard Minmatar Republic 766	Posted - 2014.04.10 05:01:00 - [13] - Quote I assume a bit of the proliferation of scouts is because of that "new car smell." All nice and shiny and new. Others may run scouts because assaults are generally lackluster (or just completely awful, in some cases), and logis were hit with a double nerf. And never mind Scotty. Sometimes you get a match with 10 scouts on both teams, and other times you get a match with 4 scouts total. Same goes for heavies and such. Random chance can do a lot to make reality seem like something it isn't.

I have yet to see a good idea. However, i'm partial to just leaving it be right now. Game is pretty balanced currently. Add a profile increase for stacking plates/shields. The main problem I see with this is that these suits can't really be detected when cloaked (mostly the Gal scout) otherwise, they're just light assaults and logis can get similar health results while still using a cloak. Adding a small penalty to the scan profile would easily change this and wouldn't really hurt the scouts who run as regular scouts, or anyone else for that matter. Nova Knives are OP! Nerf em before you lose all your proto suits!

Seeth Mensch Capital Acquisitions LLC Dirt Nap Squad. 169	Posted - 2014.04.10 05:27:00 - [22] - Quote I have run logi until the 1.8 changeup. I have always wanted to play fast and hidden, but there was no real way to do it until now. I don't think the cloak is OP; I think there are a lot of frustrated players who aren't playing patiently. And, yes, cloakers get that first hit often, but I have been outplayed quite often by a savvy person. In short: It's fast, exciting, and I get to be a ninja. Hi! Gosh, I've missed you...with every bullet, plasma shot, rail gun, and missile.

Been nothing but ninja since day one.... playing it low and slow with maximum sneak. It's great fun and I hope we get some good new scouts because of the new found popularity. And at the same time, I hope the FOTM chasers move along and stop tainting my suit of choice.... The hard times were hard, but rewarding... but he good times are here again for sure. I wish there was a bit more balance to the scout suits when compared to the assaults but to be honest I see WAY more heavies on the field than scouts. I'm glad CCP released all the racial variants, now i can finally think about speccing into another suit. Well, another scout suit, that is.... Double posting like a Kaiser.
Beld Errmon 1585	Posted - 2014.04.10 07:13:00 - [25] - Quote I'm totally a FOTM scout and why wouldn't I be, I can run a suit that cloaks, has 2 equipment slots, has a decent amount of HP and speed, and by default is nearly unscannable. I've still got my amarr logi if the galscout gets nerfed into the ground and with the proliferation of the cloaking assault scout, its almost inevitable Rise and rise again until lambs become lions.

Lunatic Kota TeamPlayers Dirt Nap Squad. 118	Posted - 2014.04.10 07:28:00 - [28] - Quote I chose scout because it was the smart option. The utility of it beats the other suits hands down. Why would I spend points in Cal Assualt when I can run faster, fit more crap, see everyone before they see me and of course be invisible. I chased that FOTM, caught it, now I make sweet sweet love to it. There's a message in my Cheerios!
Beld Errmon 1585	Posted - 2014.04.10 07:33:00 - [29] - Quote I still think its funny so many people seem to think that skilling into the cloaking scout is some kinda character failing, I say that failing to skill into something so fun and clearly powerful is a sign of stupidity, and if you've got a decent amount of SP its hardly going to be the only tool available to you. Its why you don't see respecs in eve every time something is changed or nerfed, most players have a heap of SP invested in a number of different ship types and races, once one thing becomes useless or subpar, they change the fitout or sell the ship. Rise and rise again until lambs become lions.
Broonfondle Majikthies Dogs of War Gaming Zero-Day 1120	Posted - 2014.04.10 07:58:00 - [30] - Quote I've been a scout since 1.2 Never liked the shotgun. Now its just a cheap shot. I'll stick to my knives. Nobody complains about them (unless their fairly new and don't know how immensely frustrating and tricky they can be to use) Also its rarely 'fun' to play a min scout. Tense and exciting sometimes. Rage inducing others. But hardly ever fun. Plus I lament my inability to carry anything decent on my adv fit. I miss my RE's <3 "...where Bylothgar the Ill-postured was made King of the People With No Name But Decent Footwear"

Still run him once a week, and I rarely use a cloak I just use the massive fitting to put a bunch of different cool things on him. And I don't use shotguns. But no, I'm a heavy (a new heavy only since 1.6) and a commando now too, oh...and a logi...and a fully specified AV infantry. Basically I don't like to play the same thing for extended periods of time.

First because of the cloak and second because of the new racial suits. But in general I still encounter more Mediums and FAR more Heavies than scouts. When it comes to scouts I see mostly Caldari scouts followed by Gallente and then Amarr and Minmatar...
Jack McReady DUST University Ivy League 1267	Posted - 2014.04.10 08:39:00 - [34] - Quote everyone that used assault before is now most likely running scout because the current scouts are better assaults: you give up ~100 EHP due to the nature of scouts having less base HP which is marginal, you can still get up to 800 EHP... but you gain better hitbox, more mobility/speed, 2 equipment slots, autodampening & bonus to cloak fitting and you still deal the same damage as assaults the only exception is the minmatar scout, the minmatar scout cannot do that because you cannot fit anything worth on it because CCP Shanghai hates Minmatar.
Your Absolut End SVER True Blood General Tso's Alliance 422	Posted - 2014.04.10 08:39:00 - [35] - Quote Started getting interested in scouts around 1.6. 1.8 was the perfect option for ke to skill out of my old assault logi and commandos, the idea of sneakiness and ewar is what keeps me entertained in this game, it just adds a nice thrill factor to be behind enemy lines and disrupt their front 1 by 1 from behind. So yeah, I'm kind of new to scouts but I'm loving what they did to buff 'em another one bites the Dust... Born as Kameira, die as Kameira, my life for the Empress!
Cinnamon267 134	Posted - 2014.04.10 10:04:00 - [36] - Quote Personally, I rarely see scouts. I saw a lot of them day 1 of 1.8, but now I see very few. About the same as it was before, honestly. Assaults still dominate the map in my matches. Heavies/Commando's are definitely more plentiful.

People who skill into cloaks specifically because they see everyone else doing it, without doing any research into what makes it good or how to use it? Idiots. People who actively AVOID skilling into it after doing the research and deciding it's "OP" and not wanting to use it out of some sense of honour? Idiots. People who do the research and decide they can do everything they need to do WITHOUT the cloak? Not idiots. People who do their research, like what they see with the cloak and skill into it as a complement to their playstyle? Not idiots. There are good and bad reasons to use the cloak, and there are good and bad reasons NOT to use it. People target the cloak because, like I said, it's a new toy and lots of people have skilled themselves up just to try it out. For some of those people, it's not making much difference, and for others, it's making them a lot more effective. The sheer prevalence of them on the field is getting a lot of attention, and that makes for a lot of unnecessary threads complaining about it.

ResistanceGTA D.A.R.K L.E.G.I.O.N D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 741	Posted - 2014.04.10 13:31:00 - [43] - Quote I always wanted one, and I had been debating what to do when 1.8 hit. As soon as I saw all my refunded SP, I went for it and got my Minmatar Scout (the debates I had internally on which Scout to get were getting very annoying, so, it was very comforting finally picking one). I have ~350eHP at most on my suits, with most being comparably lower (that's my 'tanked' Proto suit mind you). I still got my Proto Logi (Minmatar too) and got my Commando and Sentinel to advanced for versatility (Minmatar) and got a single point into Assault for the time being. If they ever get around to really working on the Medium suits, it'll be great, but until then I'll just slowly work on all my suits (Assault to advanced, then Sentinel to Proto, then Commando, and ending with Assault). I really hope CCP will allow us to change the race of our BPOs someday, 5 Gallente Scout BPOs keep mocking me for not speccing them. xSivartx is my Heavy. There are many like him, but he is my own... So, other Logi's back off, those are my Warpoints!

This is why I am asking the question and want your input. Imo, yes. The real why is because they dont go down so easly as before, most of them tanked scouts, as soon as they die easily you will see a drop on scout usage. Precision, dampening and cloaks are their plus they NEED for survival. The Shotgun+cloak thing my word is "if you dont see them you deserve the die", Shotgun+ cloak + you see it! "No WAY you should die" unless too late. And for the cloaks they are almost fine, just a little tweak, a must: decloak fully before shoot and at most a cool down thats it(IMO its fine at it is). If they truly want to hit hard the cloaks(nerf), to render them almost unusable adding consumables to it 5/5, 10/10 whatever, you got the point. Wisely use thing. [Space Reserved for future post]

I run a scout now because of a) the strafing advantage their speed presents, b) their smaller hitbox, and c) their ability to use a cloak. Said simply, scouts simply slay the best in 1.8. Some may call me a FOTM-chaser...I simply call it using the best tool for the job.

Mostly Gal and Cal, see more Amarr than Min even, but that just be because i notice them more because they were expected to be the least used. KRRROOOOOOM

Don't know when it'll come or the severity of the balance pass, but I'm saving some 2.8 mil sp for when the qq has calmed down to irrelevancy. Best link spammer, because slaying is too mainstream and that's what everyone else told me. Best "PC" k/d 2/6 , 2/14, 2/
