Lynn Beck Heaven's Lost Property Negative-Feedback 1667	Posted - 2014.05.12 20:25:00 - [1] - Quote Not 100% sure, howevrr something VERY peculiar happened in a match. I ran up to an Amarr scout, using a C-1 Caldari Light Frame, with 235 shield, 87 armor, fitted with a Kincat. He hit me with at least 5 rounds, as i heard 5 seperate pings, although some may have been allied shotgun pings. My shields went to 230. 5 health, lost from at the very least a Bk-42, seeing as he was spray N praying. 5. Base damage being 20 per round. That's 1/4th of a bullet. Another instance, see a Std Calscout(turns out to be Proto on death screen) with 483 shield, sprayed an entire OH of scrambler into his back, only to be Allotek Breach shotgunned. End shield, 122. After a full OH into his back, running STRAIGHT away from me, no kincats that i could tell. General John Ripper Like ALL the things!!!

That's the funny thing though, is that a Min scout with 350~ shield is easier to drop than a basic calscout with 240 shield, considering the enemy is using Projectile. Assault rifles seem o bypass this. General John Ripper Like ALL the things!!!

Now however, i have moderately concrete evidence that Caldari Lights do not take their full damage. Also, it's quite difficult for one to just waltz in and state 'you're trolling, stfu and don't point that out' without concrete evidence to the contrary, or proof that i'm lying through my teeth.

Minmatar Mercenary 9292 Vherokior Combat Logistics Minmatar Republic 497	Posted - 2014.05.13 05:39:00 - [13] - Quote I don't play anymore besides troll the forums and look at legion stuff but this is something i have noticed when i did play, the caldari scout seems to evade shots that would have flat out r@ped another scout, it's the only scout that does this aswell. I love the caldari stuff personally so i don't say this out of hate but when a caldari scout consistently dances/evades/ignores the same thing that always r@pes a minmatar scout with less shield than said min scout then something is up. Dat cladari scout hitbox yo it can't just have been me Da only good Amarr is a ded Amarr, an de ony fing betta than a ded one, is a dyin one who tells ya were 'is mates is!

IceShifter Childhaspawn DUST University Ivy League 677	Posted - 2014.05.13 05:50:00 - [15] - Quote Combination of the dropsuit model, strafe irregularity, and hit detection. The give away was the AR. Strafe speeds are always maxed in this game. Thats why heavies cant hop more than 3 inches front to back but can jump 12 to the left or the right. Strafing in a light suit. Who'da thought? It's hard to beat up hundreds of armor piercing bullets using only your face...

Who'da thought? While i would love to agree that it is the hitbox(would make things much easier)i beleive there is a hidden irregularity in the %damage parameter on the Caldari Light. Kinda like how the Caldari dropship/lav takes full damage from light weapons when into armor, the caldari light frames take reduced damage from small arms through shield. Will update OP... Tomorrow. It's 2:30 and i'm tired. Edit: AR being the give away? I'm not sure i follow you. I used the Breach AR (basic) and counted HP to damage for kill, logis with 300/500 HPs took 18 shots to kill, while a at most 487/87(because they never armor tank unless sniping) calscout takes 20-25, and this is counting as close as possible to 100% hit ratios as possible, as, they are immobile when i engage.

LtGen Shanks Kinsho Swords Caldari State 70	Posted - 2014.05.13 07:21:00 - [17] - Quote I've seen something similar just today. I snuck up on m twiggz, who was using a Caldari c/1 series, whilst on my Proto GalScout and proceeded to unload my ACR into his toon. However, he barely took any damage and proceeded to kill me off as we engaged in a strafing battle. I think I took out about 1/4 of his shields before dying. I returned to face him only to see a blaster tank shooting him down, so I took my chance to see if I could bring him down. I died again... Well, at least I got him on my third attempt, but he was already down to armor by that time.

If you find out more let CCP know Ill keep tabs for this then. Gotta make sure Legion is 100% tested, eh? As to the OP, I have heard a lot of corpmates and random squadmates say they have issues with Caldari Lights/Scouts, but I haven't experienced it too much, as I've been ADSing more and more to burn through isk... Everything dies to a Missiles (even Sentinels, seriously, don't stand around, I know you resist splash, but, a direct hit is still a direct hit). I will ask around some more and see if I can get a grasp on what they all are saying. I 'support' EVE:Legion. Since the PS4 is just a dream, make it easy to sell our characters and our Beta access...
Shinobi MumyoSakanagare ZaShigurui The Honor of the Fallen Biomassed. 745	Posted - 2014.05.13 13:13:00 - [22] - Quote I believe that it has something to do with hit detection as well because like I said , I use the suits and still die in an fashion similar to any other light or scout suit and I use Gal scouts as well so I would notice any difference but if you yourself and others can actually confirm this then that evidence can not be rebuked but until they fix the hit detection as with using sniper rifles ... then anything done or said does not really have a strong foundation . One instance you might get the results that you claim and another or someone else may find otherwise so the fact that you have a known variable namely , hit detection ... then the results will be unstable or irregular until the problem is fixed . I play games where I'm point blank with a HMG and a Gal scout can run right at me and not strafe and shotgun me while I'm firing and I notice that my bullets are not registering , other times it works just fine but to have a HMG in comparison to an AR and stand at point blank range and bullets are not registering shows a hit detection problem . I just do not snipe like I use to because of the same , some games it works when others it just doesn't and I can be dead on and nothing . Hit detection needs to be addressed . The honor of the vets who biomassed will never be forgotten and will always be upheld until the very end .
Leeroy Gannarsein Shining Flame Amarr Empire 65	Posted - 2014.05.13 13:21:00 - [23] - Quote I've heard the same thing. I've never noticed it. I use CR and ScR primarily, and I've not noticed CalScout being particularly hard to kill -once I hit him. They're typically harder to hit than Gal, who often have plates fitted, and have higher HP totals than Minmatar, because of different roles, and the regen makes them a pain to kill. But them taking too little damage? This isn't something I've noticed, no. MY ACTUAL NAME IS LORHAK It would seem like wisdom, but for the warning in my heart... VOTE 1 CCP BLOWOUT

I don't think it's hit detection ALL of the time, albeit, a caldari scout with 2 complex kins is going to be a ***** to shoot. I got hit by a sniper round in my Callight and it did, ready? 120 damage. Mlt snipers do 205, and Tac Snipers do 173.5 A scrambler barrage(it was an Enemy, so no idea what kind and how many damage mods) did 36 damage at a range of 35-50 meters. One shot does 79-ish.

Yes, their regen is a *** to fight against, however that doesn't explain them not taking any damage in a CQC ragefest, against 3 people. Yes, they were strafing like a ***.

DEZKA DIABLO THE FOOTCLAN 700	Posted - 2014.05.13 19:25:00 - [26] - Quote Personally I think your telling the story in reverse cuz I wouldn't tell a soul lol. Cal scouts and practically all cal suits don't take damage to shields like other suits, been saying it for months, so instead I just went caldari and kept my mouth shut since no one listens ?

Also of note is that Hybrid-Blaster doesn't appear to have any problems, though Rail/Explosive also take notably long to drop them. Edit: my evidence for this is a Rai Rifle did 20 damage. 42 base damag, -10% shield damage denotes i should have taken 37.8 damage, and this was at 15m-25m. I have survived Remote Explosives by simply triple-extendering my Cal frame, i get like 309 shield or so. I took 40 HP damage from a locus. No idea what kind as it diddn't kill me, however i was standing right on top of it. The general rule i have come across is that projectile does ~25% damage, while rail does ~60%, explosive does a nominal 5% or so. Since you say explosives are affected by this it is very easy to test. Find a supply depot in the redline and simply drop a grenade at the feet of your cal light 20 times, recording how much damage you take each time. If you want to be super scientific switch to a different light suit and repeat the test as a 'control'.
Izlare Lenix Arrogance. Caps and Mercs 567	Posted - 2014.05.13 20:35:00 - [28] - Quote I blame it on hit detection. Several times I have overheated a viziam scrambler into a scout, all different races, and not gotten through their shields. And I'm taking close range, shots landing with their shields flashing indicating hits. I have even charged shot an uncloaked basic gal scout directly in the face, which should have killed him, yet he only had a small amount of shields missing and he then proceeded to ohk my scout with a shotgun. Hopefully hit detection in Legion won't be garbage like it is in Dust. Gun control is not about guns...it's about control. The only way to ensure freedom is by having the means to defend it.

However it is quite unpredictable, although when it does happen(is this caused by a certain fiting, or a certain behaviour in the server? Is it a SDE problem, where it has a misapplying %damage ratio?)it is almost always at those percentages, as it is 'possible' to kill a Cal Light, however in these instances it requires at least 1 reload.

Just tested myself on cal scout alt: Suit: scout C/1-series with level 3 Caldari scout, 308hp shield, 174hp armour Test: stood on standard locus grenade rated at 400hp explosive damage ten times Results: same outcome each time, shield removed and 4 notches of armour damage (about 10%) Analysis: explosive does 80% damage versus shield, so it will take 96.25% of the 400 explosive damage to wipe out the shield on my C/1-series; explosive does 120% damage versus armour, so the remaining 3.75% of the 400 explosive damage will do 18 armour damage, about 10% of total armour Conclusion: from this limited testing the caldari scout seems to take explosive damage as advertised

I ran up to an Amarr scout, using a C-1 Caldari Light Frame, with 235 shield, 87 armor, fitted with a Kincat. He hit me with at least 5 rounds, as i heard 5 seperate pings, although some may have been allied shotgun pings. My shields went to 230. 5 health, lost from at the very least a Bk-42, seeing as he was spray N praying. 1/4th of a shot with base damage being 20 a shot. My first guess is that caldari derpship %damage ratio(the % ratio used to specify "vehicles take 10% from small arms") was mistakenly applied to the Caldari Light frames, which is not entirely impossible, seeing that if a python loses its' shields, a Bk-42 can kill it in 3/4 of a clip. While this is largely spitballing, i can note a very distinct ruleset: Projectile/rail/explosive deal massively reduced damage to Caldari Light shields(25% dmg dralt by projectile, 40% rail, and 1-10% explosive) Laser appears inconsistent, at the very least it doesn't do it's listed +20%. Hybrid-blaster appears largely unaffected, considering my Ion Pistol has a better kill rate against CalLight than my Six Kin with Minmando 5 and 2 dmg mods. join a factional with a squadie and test it Back to BF1943, only 3 more ranks to go till at the top!

The general rule i have come across is that projectile does ~25% damage, while rail does ~60%, explosive does a nominal 5% or so. Since you say explosives are affected by this it is very easy to test. Find a supply depot in the redline and simply drop a grenade at the feet of your cal light 20 times, recording how much damage you take each time. If you want to be super scientific switch to a different light suit and repeat the test as a 'control'. Guess i've got some testing then. However it is quite unpredictable, although when it does happen(is this caused by a certain fiting, or a certain behaviour in the server? Is it a SDE problem, where it has a misapplying %damage ratio?)it is almost always at those percentages, as it is 'possible' to kill a Cal Light, however in these instances it requires at least 1 reload. I'll probably have an ally throw Mlt locus and Sleek, followed by Flux. Just tested myself on cal scout alt: Suit: scout C/1-series with level 3 Caldari scout, 308hp shield, 174hp armour Test: stood on standard locus grenade rated at 400hp explosive damage ten times Results: same outcome each time, shield removed and 4 notches of armour damage (about 10%) Analysis: explosive does 80% damage versus shield, so it will take 96.25% of the 400 explosive damage to wipe out the shield on my C/1-series; explosive does 120% damage versus armour, so the remaining 3.75% of the 400 explosive damage will do 18 armour damage, about 10% of total armour Conclusion: from this limited testing the caldari scout seems to take explosive damage as advertised Thanks for running a test. 1. However useful that is, it's not enough to just say 'i didn't die. STFU' if that is what you are implying. Get a person on the enemy team(Q sync?) to throw one. Get a person to throw one super long range, and jump as it blows up. Get a person to throw one under an LAV or next to a box, and have you stand near it. There are many conditions that need tested in order to make or break my claim, across mutliple maps and multiple time zones. You cannot just throw 20 locuses in 1 match and say 'it's fine', you have to throw 5 locuses over 100 or so matches. I will however, add your results into my mind, and note it as 'not 100% of the time, resists are being applied.' General John Ripper Like ALL the things!!!
LtGen Shanks Kinsho Swords Caldari State 80	Posted - 2014.05.14 01:23:00 - [37] - Quote Well it's been a day and I have to say that something doesn't feel right with the Caldari Light frames. Not to boast, but I do rather well in matches. When it comes to 1v1 engagements, I usually win by utilizing my Scout's ability to get the jump on others. Heavies, Logistics, Assaults, and other Scouts--if I catch them from behind, it's usually a win for me. However, against Caldari Light frames, the outcome of the engagements seldom results in my favor. I seem to consistently lose to them even if I manage a successful surprise attack from behind. It could be that I choke up and my gun game drops to negative numbers when facing a Caldari, but I'd like to believe there's something more to it than me performing poorly.

Also of note is that Hybrid-Blaster doesn't appear to have any problems, though Rail/Explosive also take notably long to drop them. Edit: my evidence for this is a Rai Rifle did 20 damage. 42 base damag, -10% shield damage denotes i should have taken 37.8 damage, and this was at 15m-25m.

I will however, add your results into my mind, and note it as 'not 100% of the time, resists are being applied.' The point of my test was to remove any environmental reasons for damage not being applied. I took it that that you were interested in how the suit works, not how the environment works. There are lots of circumstances in which an explosive SHOULD damage you in this game but does not due to environmental glitches. As everyone knows, a flux goes around corners, a locus (or RE) does not. However, this is overapplied in some situations. You can be stood on a kerb that's 3 inches higher than street level, and there's a locus on the street right next to you. Sometimes this will mean the entire explosion just splashes off the 3 inch high kerb and you escape without damage. It just depends on how the game handles the specific geometry in that case. I think it can also sometimes be the case that a grenade that's dropped next to a crate will do no damage. You can see a similar effect if you drop a nanohive right next to a crate; sometimes it glitches and thinks the nanohive is inside the crate, even though the radius clearly extends far beyond it. So if you repeated my test but in combat situations there will be times when your Caldari scout takes no damage from nearby explosives. But you would find the same if you used any suit.
TranquilBiscuit ofVaLoR Fatal Absolution General Tso's Alliance 2115	Posted - 2014.05.14 12:38:00 - [39] - Quote well, i run caldari scout quite often, and i haven't noticed anything. seems to die just as quickly as any other suit to me, but i haven't done any official testing on it, so don't take my word as fact. but i did notice that it's a lot harder to escape an HMG in my minmatar assault that runs at 9.73 vs. my cal scout running at 9.02. maybe that's because the min assault has a bigger hitbox, but you would think that the extra speed would counter that. i dunno, maybe that's just me.
