Cloak nerf, no extra % to dampening

Ah. That's it, huh? Roll

I suppose CCP thinks that's going to balance things perfectly. Ah well, thanks for the info. ^~^

Get your passive scanning skills up and you'll never have a problem with cloaked scouts again.. lol. This "nerf" to remove the 20-25% profile dampening with a cloak is PERFECT. It means that you won't see BRICK TANK scouts coming at you with a shotgun, the'll have to be actually wearing profile dampening modules to counter (which should have been the intended use anyways).

I think it's perfect. Scouts should be paper thin to counter their shotgun 1-shot-kills.

In my opinion the real problem is with Heavies. They need to be nerfed in some way. Right now they do the MOST damage with the MOST tank. They are incredible. Plus they can kill you at a close to mid range which is nuts. I think they should be either reduced in turn speed (back to the old days, if you want to keep their damage/tank as is) or you need to reduce either the RoF of that HMG, or increase the spread of the HMG bullets. Right now it's way too accurate. Spray and Pray is insane.

Izlare Lenix Arrogance. Dark Taboo 593	Posted - 2014.05.24 07:33:00 - [31] - Quote Some of you fail to realize the cloak dampening nerf hurts every scout except the gal scout. Gal can still get under a gal logi pro focused scanner, but a cal can't, a min can't and even with four complex damps an Amarr can't. This means the meta will shift to a ton of gal logis using multiplte pro focused scanners per suit, "you have been scanned" will become the norm again for everyone except gal scouts. This will cause slayers to shift exclusively to the gal scout or to the only other useful suit, a sentinel with an hmg and maybe some commandos. This game will turn into the heaviy with the most hp standing on the most hives with the most logi reps wins. Basically this game will become stupid and dull. Logis are for support, assaults are garbage, all but one scout will suck, which leaves nothing but heavies everywhere. Gun control is not about guns...it's about control. The only way to ensure freedom is by having the means to defend it.

But you fools have GOT to get it through your skulls. A EQUIPMENT WITH MODULE BONUSES IS AN ABOMINATION. wanna hear another one? CLOAKING AND DAMPENING SHOULD BE ABLE TO OPERATE INDEPENDENTLY. toodles~ CEO of FA, Candidate for CPM1 Follow me on twitter Skype Zatara.Rought
Izlare Lenix Arrogance. Dark Taboo 599	Posted - 2014.05.24 10:33:00 - [33] - Quote Why do you think players will use min or amarr scout to be unscanable when the gal will do it so much better? They won't. Cal, min and amarr scouts will be pointless other than brick tanking which has limited uses. Gun control is not about guns...it's about control.

They are giving it the 3 armor rep from the gal. I think we're all waiting fro a burst of creativity to give the amarr it's own defined role.

For once, I want them to not change something because people don't want to take the time to find a way to beat something within the Dust universe. Because, as usual, CCP wants this to be an assault's game. BOOP!

Wtf. how is 80 seconds of cloak time and something like 16-20 seconds of regen fine. It just begs for you to play campy and be unseeable 100% of the time you are near danger (who can't find a way to disengage in an 80 seconds interval to regen?

A single dampener will let Gal scouts hide from up to three precision enhancers if not a Caldari scout, so I don't think we're really going to see the effects of this like we'd prefer.

I caught something on a hotfix note from a dev earlier but can't remember anything about the scouts and was wondering if something else is planned or has been implemented into the game. Knowing my luck, they probably nerfed the Minmatar scout's PG and left the Gal and Cal scouts alone... does anybody have a link to this info? cant seem to find it My Youtube Lvl. 2 Forum Warrior Follow:@skippy6gaming #BetaVet
