Echo 1991 WarRavens Capital Punishment. 434	Posted - 2014.09.23 20:03:00 - [31] - Quote Scouts are OP becuase of the sheer versatility they have, they can see almost anything as well as being fast and invisible. Not to mention they can be a pseudo-logi because they have 2 equipment slots and can have assault levels of HP. All that needs to be done is remove the second equipment slot because it isnt needed. You should have to decide between a cloak or remotes not have both. Lower PG and cpu (minnie scout should probably keep a similar PG value if second equip is removed) This will stop them from tanking like crazy. I must stress that this should not be done drastically just a small amount i think. Maybe change the skill bonus to a module specific bonus rather than raw stat reduction. This would probably help most with reducing tanky scouts. Just my thoughts.

I fit 3 proto precision enhancers on my logi, give up huge amounts of hp for it and scout can still go under my radar with a single proto damp while having similar hp as the logi fit plus all the other scout advantages. if you change the scouts bonus to ewar mods you will still be able to hide from everything, except you get real drawbacks for doing it. 1: biotics, armor/shield upgrades, electronics/construction, the core upgrade are all passive skills.... oh and btw shouldnt scouts be the king of EWAR? i run at least one dampener on everry loadout (and since i face all day the scrub eu pubstompers use 2 damps more than often) so 2/3 of my lows are used for dampening. the passive precision skill on gal scout should be removed i honestly dont even know why they changed that.... 2: as i said before its not about that you see the scout its about you should try to hide from the scout scan... have you ever tried skill into profile dampening?

This would probably help most with reducing tanky scouts. Just my thoughts. Tanky scouts are literally irrelevant The only relevant ones are Gal scouts with 560 armor (double complex plates) and no shields (precision) because they can dodge all scans with two damps. However: They move slower than a 560 HP gal assault with 1/10th the reps per second, they do not have nearly as many slots to stack damage mods and whatnot, and do not have any offense bonuses whatsoever. Also, the above fit for gal scouts is not used in PC simply because the speed is too low, and its viability in CQC is none, and equipping a rifle neuters your ability to kill the slayer heavies that are everywhere.

Everybody QQ about scouts is for real a ******* scrub, cuz in fact Heavies shut down every scout in a blink of an eye. In 4 PC matches yesterday, I only died once to a scout while I was hacking a CRU. Claiming scouts were OP when heavies destroy everything without much effort is ridiculous indeed. Then how did you manage to go negative in that stomp against prima gallicus? Fact is that fro the most part the suits are balanced, with just a few minor tweaks needed. You can't fight in here! This is the war room.

They should have to rely on stealth and speed, not put 400+ armour on and only get seen by another scout. Scouts can have Tank, stealth and speed and see almost anything within their scan radius. It isnt right. Oh and if you lose that extra equipment slot the suits will need a pg/cpu reduction. Maybe not the minnie though cos its low anyway.
The Master Race Immortal Guides 33	Posted - 2014.09.24 00:45:00 - [37] - Quote How would removing the equipment slot make them less tank able? How would it detour them from assaulting multiple people in open field? I ask because I would think along with getting the jump on people being able to drop an uplink is fitting as a scout. A db change could fix the issue or by changing the ability of targets to react (ie. sidarms) New, delicious, Soylent green the miracle food of high-energy plankton gathered from the oceans of the world.

A db change could fix the issue or by changing the ability of targets to react (ie. sidarms) So basically you're saying that until scouts are unable to kill other players, they should be nerfed... So lets examine your proposition for a second. 1). Nerf eWar on a scout suit by making them more detectable: This is a terrible idea, as anyone with basic knowledge of eWar balancing would know...any higher dB completely throws off balance that scouts, Rattati, and the rest of the community have sought to create. The way it works now- To dodge passives you need two comp damps, and proto skills and a proto cloak active on a min/Am scout, or just two proto damps, all proto skills, and a gal/cal scout to dodge passives. Add a cloak or extra dampener to each race and you dodge a gallogi focused. This has been determined by Rattati to be balanced, however, I think its slightly too punitive to the Cal and Min scouts which have to sacrifice utility of one of their racial bonuses for dampening. (Cal has two low slots, each with damps if it wants to damp, so it can't use range amps. Min has 3, and needs a codebreaker to use one bonus, a kin cat to (effectively) use the other, and two complex damps to remain under the radar). For now, however, it is the closest to balanced that we will have, and for the most part I highly agree with it. 2). Remove the light weapon slot: No. This is even worse than the first idea. Scouts have had their light weapon slot for as long as they were around, and REQUIRE it for weapons such as the shotgun, sniper rifle, plasma cannon/SL for AV, and other such specialist weapons. While sidearms are very niche, they are also very generic in function as a whole, and no suit should be restricted to only sidearms, unless the intent was to make them unable to kill other players. However, if you are instead suggesting that we dual wield sidearms, while id like to say yes, It would be overpowered. Imagine a heavy machine gun on a scout that has better hip fire and less muzzle flash. Yes, thats what dual wielding aSMG's would be like. Dual wielding ion pistols would be like shotguns that dealt 750 damage and could do it from 20 meters away. Overall, no matter how you look at it, your ideas are bad. If you want to find a way to balance a suit, nerf one aspect while buffing another. Example: Double the move penalty on armor plates and the regen delay penalty on shield extenders on scout suits so that they are discouraged from becoming "Assault Lights", but return the cloak to a 25% dampening level so that Caldari and Minmitar scouts can make better use of their racial bonuses. "Minmitar Scout" and "Masochist" are synonyms. FA's Shotgunning T-Dome Champ Give the Minja active dampening!--By Bor

I still remember the time when I fought people like kingbabar, he used a damped medium frame and it worked well for him. ask him or go to protofits and test fittings for yourself. oh and btw I played with my cousins alt for a bit (he's an assault) and I can't understand all the whining. I can get as many kills as I can get with my scout without any ewar skills and with cheaper fits.....
Varoth Drac Vengeance Unbound Dark Taboo 236	Posted - 2014.09.24 09:03:00 - [45] - Quote Krator Kosta Nostra wrote: We need to revert back to 1.6 scouting. Scouts should have their precision and dampening put back to 40/40. That would make active scanners worth getting again for any non-scout. Cal keeps their shared vision Gal keeps the shield regeneration Give Amar a bonus regen to armor and /or keep the bonus for stamina Min keeps the hack and NK bonus Leave the speed of the scouts the same as it is for 1.8 HF Charlie That would be my 'hot fix'. A true fix would be to make the shields and armor mods a percentage increase in the base stats of all suits. That would completely fix the brick tanking scouting, while retaining Assaults role as being Assaults. You are forgetting the 1.6 scout bonus to profile per level. It is more difficult for scouts to avoid scans now than it was in 1.6. Profile dampeners are much more necessary and widely used amoungst max sp scouts than in 1.6. Putting the base profile back to 40 would render scouts pointless. If you gave us back the profile bonus it would only relegate low sp scouts to being pointless like they were in 1.6. I do agree with someone's suggestion of changing the cloak bonus from 15% per level to a flat 75% at level one. As it is now we have a similar (though not as bad) problem as in 1.6, where low sp scouts can not properly play the role as they can't use a cloak. I also strongly feel that if anyone can try a cloaked scout for a reasonable sp investement they would see it is not the OP monster people believe it is. Everyone is afraid of what they don't understand. The high investment required to try the role is a barrier that breeds mistrust. I know there are people with a level 5 scout who want it nerfed. though I will point out that there are peple who want everything nerfed. To these people I will point out that Gav here has just suggested a significant nerf to scouts, when arguably they don't even need nerfing. What do you think about this? Is it even worth asking when people's understanding of scouts and EWAR is so poor? An additional balance suggestion I have is to buff scan range extenders. The reason being to make assaults better able to fit as a light EWAR assault in a similar way that scouts fitted for hp can. As it is there is not much difference between a scout fitted for tank and an assault fitted for EWAR. Better range extenders would solve this. This would also help logis who already make good use of range extenders. Scouts rarely use them and I doubt such a buff would have a practical effect on a scout's EWAR ability.

You are granted not only a huge natural ewar bonus, but ones from stealth field and suit skill if chosen. There are many stats and scout tops all of them but ehp, cpu/pg, and melee. Scouts don't need to be fast to get behind enemy lines you could bring there speed in line with logistics it would re-balance the combat I am sure. lol I bet if ccp proposed that you guys would beg for some of these other changes.

I think this would fix the tanked scout complaint as assaults would be the same. It wouldn't help with EWAR scouts, but I think Gav's idea sounds pretty good for that, in anything needs doing.

The only way they could possibly balance by buffing would be to undefine the other suits talking away strength and weaknesses of each class in turn ruining the game. Everyone can't do everything and no one can do anything or you lose any reason for having classes at all taking away one of the things that make this game unique.

I don't see how this is different than other suits in the game. The strength of the game is in fitting variety. Many suits can do many things in different ways, this doesn't mean they are the same. I do not agree that scouts are better at everything than other classes. Is this all because they have 2 equipment slots and are therefore somehow better at equipment than logis? That is ridiculous. I'm not saying scouts don't need a nerf. Ratatti will tell us if they do based on stats. I just don't believe the balance is far off. Large nerfs are unnecessary and damaging in this situation. If they are even needed.

I don't need a tacnet. I just need my eyes.

Mobility, Mobility, and MOBILITY! You are granted not only a huge natural ewar bonus, but ones from stealth field and suit skill if chosen. There are many stats and scout tops all of them but ehp, cpu/pg, and melee. Scouts don't need to be fast to get behind enemy lines you could bring there speed in line with logistics it would re-balance the combat I am sure. lol I bet if ccp proposed that you guys would beg for some of these other changes. Edit: Valroth I am a scout/assult Its not invisibility at all...its the removal of a red shoot me sign for 40 seconds, thats all. Removal of scout speed would make them a terribad class, worse at slaying than logis are currently "Minmitar Scout" and "Masochist" are synonyms.

Aside from HP, it has more movement speed, can see almost everything and can only be picked up by proto scans and other scouts. Which is stupid. Change the bonus they have to a module specific one.
