In most non-competitive settings, shared passives are perfectly fine. In a PC, however, where HMG heavies are the most dominant and competitive force, their one weakness can be completely eliminated by a super strong scanner scout.

If you want shared scans, use an active scanner.

i think the balance is fine for the most part, the whole problem was ccp was balancing things without all of the content to balance it against hotfix bravo prety much fixed almost all of the problems with the balance issue, and hotfix charlie looks like its catering to you buff nerf idiots rather than actually doing anything of benefit. ccp rattati needs to look like he is got something to do else he would be out of a job.

new content should always take priority over number tweeks, wtf happened to amar vehicles, minmatar vehicles, or thoose plasma cannon variants.
how about asking for some real content before whining to ccp to get something nerfed so you can use the next precived over powered fit untill you decide whatever can counter it is the next op thing and needs to be nerfed.

the guns are fine
the suits are fine
the vehicles are fine
the lack of promised content and developer support is not fine

ever since kain spero fail collapsed the blue donut i've been sitting on at least 10 million isk at a time. last i checked today i was at 20 mil.

uh let me explain why shared tacnet is a problem...

• heavies aren't supposed to see you
• logis without scanners arent supposed to see you
• brick tanked scouts without EWAR aren't supposed to see you after their caldari scout buddies track you down

it literally takes the guesswork out of COMMS WITH YOUR TEAM. INTEL. It makes INTEL EASY MODE.

******* HMGS ARENT SUPPOSED TO SEE EVERYONE ON THE MAP ESPECIALLY SCOUTS

WHY DO YOU THINK GAL LOGI'S FOCUSED SCANNER IS SO BAD? SCANNING OTHER SCOUTS IS OP AND BROKEN

WHY ARE EVEN GAL LOGI'S SCANS BAD? THEY'RE OP AND NEEDED TO BE NERFED

Scouts are running around with SCANNERINAS that everyone was complaining about active scanners doing 360 degree scans of EVERYTHING. It took the guess work out of the game, it took STRATEGY OUT OF THE GAME

All I see in this thread is the same broke scrub, who thinks that scout scans work while piloting a tank, moaning about a suit thats' sole purpose is counter cloaked flankers.

You have no idea how to play the game.

Get good.

Your whole arguement is that by losing suit diversity, particularly cal scouts with precision enhancers, we will gain suit diversity. Do you see the flaw in your logic?

By removing shared passive scans, you remove that niche playstyle. PAPERTHIN EWAR ( the scout doesn't kill you, his squadmate does )

You will only gain:
- more cloaked shotgunners flanking (and killing you )
-more heavies covering the back of the squad instead of just pushing forward (and killing you)
-more gal logis with 4 scanners spamming scans the entire match. (scanning and then killing you with 1000ehp)

this does not increase diversity on the battlefield, you will still die like a scrub.

Yes if you really think 99% of scouts ever agreed on anything then there are a lot of 'fuzzy statistics' thrown around in this thread you probably believe too...


Now just ask yourself.....

Do you want shared tacnet for passive scans removed so that you can cloak and flank:

ALL HEAVIES
ALL COMMANDOS
ALL ASSAULT SUITS
ALL LOGI SUITS WITHOUT 4 SCANNERS EQUIPPED
ALL SCOUT SUITS WITHOUT PRECISION ENHANCERS

?????

If that's why you want shared tacnet removed then please stop playing this game as you are garbage. YOU WANT THERE TO BE NO COUNTER FOR YOUR SUIT AND YOU WANT US TO TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY.

GUESS WHAT... CLOAKED SCOUTS FLANKING WITH SHOTGUNS ARE NOT THE COUNTER FOR A SQUAD WITH AN EFFECTIVE SCAN BONUS.... IF YOU CANT COUNTER THIS SQUAD WITH ONE PLAYER HAVING ONLY 300ehp PLEASE STOP PLAYING THIS GAME. PICK UP A RIFLE OR HMG AND GET SOME GUN GAME OR GTFO.

Or continue posting about how broke you are and about how removing roles actually increases roles or how kain spero has oppressed you and you require immediate reparations. I would rather see cloaks disappear with the amount of whiny indignant children using them as a crutch and QQing at their ONLY COUNTER.

Stay broke.
