Oh, come on guys. No comments yet?
No-one complaining about how their scout is marginalised, or other people who use the marginalising scout telling them to HTFU?
Poor show, community, poor show.

Congratulations.
Now to avoid being scanned by the Caldari we need 3x complex profile dampeners. ON EVERY SINGLE GOD DAMNED UNIT.
While they can just appoint a scanner Caldari and see everyone who doesn't gimp themselves with damps. See the problem here?

I don't think this will be as bad as we think.
Remember, the Cal scout is getting a nerf to scan radius. They won't be able to cover vast swathes of the battlefield unless they totally dedicate their scout to eWAR.
If they do, then they are a VERY weak scout in combat, and anyone with a good infantry will kill them. That, or you can just run a damped scout and make eliminating him your priority.
Strategies will change, and I honestly can't wait to see how this plays out.

I like this. I mean I still wont play the game anymore, but I do like the initiative.
No suit should be completely unscannable. If someone is going to cripple their suits offensive capabilities to be a radar man, they should be able to do exactly that. |

Apparently in this scenario the Cal scout is running at least 3 precision enhancers? That is not gimping itself?
The Gallente have no real argument if the Caldari have to gimp themselves to find the Gal. Plus to have any success running the Caldari scout you are going to have to run range enhancers meaning you have very little tank and are weak in combat.
Now the other scouts are screwed and have legitimate arguments, but not the Gal. The only difference is that the Cal will be better in a group because of shared passive scan. Just drop shared passive and I think we are solid in the Gal vs Cal argument.

Saw this just after I got done crunching some of the numbers myself, I'd say I'm...somewhat pacified.
These numbers are about the best the balance could get under the current scanning system, but don't get my wrong, that's not saying much. The system itself is terribly flawed, so the best I was hoping for was the general vicinity of balance, and this seems to deliver that.
So, I'm not exactly happy with it, but I understand that this is probably the best we're going to get without client updates. |

So, an Amarr Scout, with a Proto Cloak active and two Complex Dampeners fit to the suit, will be able to get under a Caldari Scout with two Precision Enhancers and a Gallente Logi using Focused Scans?
Or am I looking at the wrong color or something?

^^@**Do NOT **** with the dampening bonus after you've just ****** the cloak bonus**@^^ Beat me up if you like and yes I do not spend a great time playing scout but I do have scout related skill set tools to level four in most areas , but anyway ... I think this is a great thing and kills the discussion about who is a scout and not just looking for a quick exploit meaning FOTM .
Now EVERY scout has to make a choice of what .. if anything , they are willing to sacrifice and or what kind of scout they will play .. instead of a bricked out cloaked , proto gear wearing player that has a far greater advantage over every other player on the field regardless of role or class .
This is causing one to make choices so now we will actually see who the real scouts are and who just seen all of the praise that these suits were getting and decided to give it a shot , oh yeah ... skill into shotguns as well to make it more easier .
I didn't have a problem with cloaks , besides the fact that you could get off shots while cloaked .
Now I will see scouts and not just pretenders .. or better yet I will see the light assault players and who plays scouts now .
Just to mention , the Caldari scout ( I have them and use them but I don't play exclusive scout ) had to sacrifice a lot to see a Gal scout ... I'm not complaining but to speak to a point , while the Gal scout had far more options and was by far the most versatile scout and now with these changes .. it will even the playing field .
I think this shows that they are listening to the community without letting the community dictate the direction of the game because these are needed changes , now if they can just fix the stats of the basic Caldari heavies along with some vehicle damage mod changes and a refund of at least infantry SP's then ... that would be spot on .

The dampning on the cloak should've just disappear completely.
Perhaps the Gallente Scout bonus WAS too good, though. We could've dodge anything while having 1 ENH and 1 CPX dampner on.
If Caldari Scout has 1 CPX precision and Gallente Scout has 0 dampners, the Caldari SHOULD scan him, but if the Gallente has a dampner of the same tier, he should be invisible.
That's balance. Both races have to be on equal footing. And let's be honest: have you ever seen a Caldari Scout with precision mods? I haven't. |

Yes for the Caldari Scout, no for the Gallente Logi. If scanning is equal to profile, scanning wins.
To evade a Gallente Logi with a Focused Scanner you need 3 dampeners and the proto cloak in an Amarr suit. |

Exactly! I mean I know it's a stretch, but how bout we all...... wait for it..... FIGHT STRAIGHT UP NO GIMMICKS! "What are you some kind of noob", said the proto stomping exploiter with a mean look on his face! "No not at all", l said! "Well how do you expect me to play as a scout if it's not COMPLETELY easy, and it now actually requires skill to do?" Said the very angry skill less exploiter?!
And I say to you all who have went fotm once again, and now face the nurf bat..... stop exploiting fotm, stop specing into every new gimmick, and stop expecting to gain the "I win button"!!!! Sounds like your gonna have to scout in groups of two. "What's this? Groups?" said the, now enraged, proto stomping, fotm using, exploiter of gimmicks extraordinaire?! Well you have a number of ways to do this, and still run your scouts to a high level of efficiency my good man!
1. scout sniper(Gallente)/speed-hack scout(minmatar) Intel and Recon
One scout can hide in a nearby location (Gal/scout sniper) searching for the area, gathering intel, and taking down important targets! While the speed-hack min/scout uses his sprint speed and hack speed to go in, cloaked or uncloaked, with nova knives, uplinks, and a trusty shotgun to get the rest of his team on target to the location. you know, the actual assault players(not the scout), the heavies, and logistics guys who can then come in to do their jobs!
The scout sniper can also stay hidden well (with it's crazy profile dampening that everyone wants to complain about), and hit the defending heavies and logis. He can soften their shields and draw their attention while the speed-hack scout takes the CRU and drops two uplinks to get his fighters on target and started attacking. The scout sniper will receive assist and/or kills, if he's within range for a flux version scanner he will receive intel assist, and all while out of range for retaliation as he is very hard to detect! The speed-hack scout will rack up severely on points by hacking, dropping links and ammo, and as a last resort firing and dispatching his enemy!
2. Watchtower scout(Caldari)/Defender Heavy(Gallente)/Executioner Commando(Caldari)/DOC logi(Minmatar) Immovable Object
"So you say as a scout I can play well with others?" said the somewhat confused C.O.D. player looking for something easy, and calling it skill.
Yes! There is hope for you Caldari scout! In the form of Intel points running any scanner with your scan precision abilities, and kills and assist running your main battle rifle( Rail Rifle) or also a Caldari weapon(Sniper rifle). What you are built for is range and precision, not attacking heavies head on! Hence why the entire community keeps saying that it is an exploitation! Everyone else in the game is doing their respective jobs in their own way. How about you do yours!
I could go on all day with how the scouts, and all roles really, could be setup to support other roles and themselves. That's just it though! CCP has to make this game role specific again, and attract more team-tactical strategic players instead of the ever so ********, parent money spending, C.O.D. players?! Who, by the way, have bought every version of C.O.D. just to do the exact same **** differently?! If you want to attract those mindless knobs for revenue purposes create a game they can play that requires little effort, coordination, and teamwork?! They'll flock in droves I've seen it lol!
CCP Rattati has the right idea about this game, and finally someone is going for balance! Now when I say balance, I don't mean same everything?! I mean advantage, disadvantage! Let the players choose what strengths to use to their advantage, while at the same time if they aren't playing away from their weaknesses they get educated!
Example: Amarr assault w/ laser rifle/Scrambler rifle and uplinks. High shield regen and dmg mod in high slots, and range amp and speed/stamina mods in low slots.
Advantages: range weapons and uplink spawn speed. keeps the enemy at bay while his team spwans safely for the assault. Gets points by uplinks and kills/assist.
Disadvantages: Enemy closing the distance with flux grenades, plasma weapons (assault rifles and shotguns), and flux grenade/projectile weapon combo.
Some of you have simply missed the point of why there are roles, and like they said ^^^ further up!

I've never been a fan of shared passive, always seemed like that was stepping on the toes of active scanners.
That is NOT the reason you use the Cal suit, you use it to see your opponent. You should have to verbally communicate with your squad to indicate enemy position.
This would go a long way in balancing active scanners too.

The more C.O.D. players that leave the better. Not insulting your intelligence here by any means, but let's face it. The scouts were OP day one of 1.8, and have sense been exploited to no end?! This will make them play their actual roles instead of just swarming the map with little speedy tanked demons, and camping spawn points for kills?!
You guys had your fun, but now that madness has to stop! If the only way a player can do well is by exploitation of fotm, and camping I think the entire community will be in agreement that he is indeed lacking in the strategy, teamwork, and leadership departments?!
But, thank you for your input to the forums as everyone's opinions should be respected
