Bright Cloud Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 443	Posted - 2014.10.28 09:47:00 - [1] - Quote Devblog is out http://dust514.com/news/blog/2014/10/uprising-1.9-overview-patch-notes So basically active scanners can now share their results with the whole team, while you are cloaked you get a massive scan range penalty and there will be a probs ridicoulusly high delay after decloaking before you can fire your gun. Its over just get a SP refund for AUR when it comes out @ november the 4th. Cause thats what im gonna do. Bright is the opposite of dark! Who would have thought of that?!
jhon hartigan Mannar Focused Warfare Gallente Federation 294	Posted - 2014.10.28 09:51:00 - [2] - Quote The delay will be 0.33 secs. But obviously you can buy that AUR refund and look for the next FOTM, just better than ever.

I have to locate an enemy on scans and THEN go cloaky to ambush him instead of being all-seeing! I have to wait less than a second to lick a man's ear with my shotgun! OMG crippling nerf! Unfair! Scouts are dead! FFS I figured out how to adjust scout ambush tactics to the new meta like four seconds after reading the blog. Is creativity THAT hard?

True Adamance Praetoriani Classiarii Templares Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 13873	Posted - 2014.10.28 10:05:00 - [6] - Quote If there is such a thing as an AUR respec for 1.9 I'd certainly be interested in picking one up once and really getting down to the nitty gritty of most efficient spends for Vehicle Command , Upgrades, and Turrets. I feel with that under my belt I could quite easily focus solely on prepping myself for the ONE MAGICAL DAY when AMARR HAV AND ARTILLERY TURRETS DO ACTUALLY EXIST. Beyond that I imagine I'd have roughly between 8-12 Million SP left over with nothing to do but wait on vehicle base goodies. "We were commanded to burn the system...We did.

Though I honestly feel that this will only encourage brick tanking in lieu of stealth. We shall see come Nov 4th. So I will hold out on judgement until then, & I suggest you do the same.

Espacially when a single gal logi can reveal your location to 15 people. You should look into dampeners, it is trivial to get under any scan in the game with a combination of dampeners and cloaking devices, depending on scout race. As long as precision is weak as it is the only person to blame for getting scanned when using a scout suit is you.

This just screams "I'm FOTM and don't care" Here is some things for you to realize: Only a few active scanners will share with team. Probably the Focused or Quantum IMO. Massive scan penalty can be avoided by not cloaking. Worried about being detected? Have you tried dampening and being sneaky? (Like what we scouts did PRE-CLOAK?!?) Decloak delay? Easy to fix. Decloak long before you need to fire your gun. You keep being seen? Have you tried DAMPENING AND BEING SNEAKY?!? Seriously, these problems are nothing compared to what scouts went through pre-1.4. Maybe this will wipe away all those FOTM scouts again. I can't wait. Bullet Hell and Duct-Tape? Count me in! FA recruits get free officer BPO's. Enlist today. Must be a scrub to enter.

This should be fun Scouts are being forced out of the EWAR role especially when 3 of the Scout types will have a hard time dodging scans in 90% of battles. Tank/Gank will remain the EZ option Why make EWAR fittings -300ehp (that will be scanned) ??!!?? When I can run some Triage Hives/RE's with 700ehp+

One Eyed King Land of the BIind 5108	Posted - 2014.10.28 16:24:00 - [45] - Quote My biggest problem is how this will affect hacking. Hacking a red CRU is dangerous business in 300 HP suits. I use my scan radius and cloak to hide and hack while people are still spawning in. At -85% a heavy could spawn in the area of a CRU and I wouldn't know it. Alternatively, I could hack it uncloaked, and get gunned down because they know exactly where I am. I could give two squats about how it affects my killing ability. If hacking could negate the penalty for the duration of the hack, I would be happy. But I doubt that is possible. I greatly dislike when nerfs negatively affect roles other than FotM just to get rid of FotM. It smells of not enough scalpel and too much hack saw. No more Sprint Glitch? This party is going to be off the hook!
Ivy Zalinto Intara Direct Action Caldari State 393	Posted - 2014.10.28 16:29:00 - [46] - Quote We survived without these cloaks before, the addition of cloaks only made it so we could move easier...people act like they should be cloaked 100% of the time. Learn to use it as a tool, not as a all powerful aspect of the suit. Ill still be scouting...see you on the field. Dedicated Stealth Scout.

Grand Master Kubo PIanet Express Top Men. 194	Posted - 2014.10.28 19:00:00 - [49] - Quote *Scrub Scouts are dead in 1.9 In my opinion the pinnacle of scout combat was before 1.8 when everyone relied on active scanners. Back then both the Minmatar and the Gallente scouts had a profile dampening bonuses yet for some reason the scout was still underused. That's because you actually had to play the role of a scout, you couldn't be a slayer match after match. The people who ran scout before 1.8 will still be fine come 1.9, it's those people who skilled into scout after 1.8 that will struggle. The people who've never learned to properly choose isolated targets, flank and just overall be sneakier.Those players are forced to chose whether they want to be dampened or HP tank. For those of you who keep playing scout after 1.9 I'm sure you've already made your decision.

You can be either invisible or have permavision of them. I mean I guess for a scout this feels like a huge nerf, but for any other suit they're going to listen to your complaint and say, "Welcome to my world, only not quite because you still have huge advantages over me, why are you complaining again? Oh right, you are a dickhole who is interested in being OP instead of being balanced."

It'll be almost sad when 1.9 hits and all the falling sky reports start to slow down. ... the one thing that worries me is that this is going to make the Gal scout the only prevalent scout... hm... wonder how many dampeners it's going to take to get under those proto Gal Logi scanners... Nova Knives are best sidearm.

It's not like they don't know where you are.... He's used to playing against scrubs maybe. But its ok One Eyed King, you still have a huge advantage over other suits while hacking. You can be either invisible or have permavision of them. I mean I guess for a scout this feels like a huge nerf, but for any other suit they're going to listen to your complaint and say, "Welcome to my world, only not quite because you still have huge advantages over me, why are you complaining again? Oh right, you are a dickhole who is interested in being OP instead of being balanced." I have been making reasonable suggestions for all suits, and trying to find reasonable fixes to real problems instead of blanket fixes that punish one role just to fix the problems with another. I have often advocated for the delay after cloak, even asking for it to be one second, versus the 0.33 seconds that they are making it. I have also been behind scout only penalties for armor, and migration of passive EWAR bonuses towards module efficacy. In fact, I even stated I would be happy if the penalty were removed only while actively hacking cloaked. How is that asking to be OP? I didn't realize hacking scouts were super OP. Nor have I heard CCP state that they were. This is just a nerf that hurts more roles than one without compensating the other roles for that nerf. No more Sprint Glitch?

Scout ninjas should be few and far between with it being more an emergent game play based on a combination of mechanics. than a given because of that dam* cloak. The cloak has moved it more toward a role and ruined the official role for a scout which is scouting. Tired of seeing ninja scouts left and right. It has become rediculous and just made it a scrub move rather than a slick bit of inventiveness. THIS IS THE VOICE OF RÁN

I don't think that any of these guys needed a cloak back in these days ^^ Only scrubs will get pissed by this cloak "nerf". 80% of the 200 to 300 people that played scouts from 1.0 to 1.7 were Gal scouts. Only 20% were Minmatar. Cloaks very much helped Minmatar scouts be viable. Not all of the cloaks purposes were exploited or exploitative. And many of the issues that surrounded cloaks had nothing directly to do with the cloaks, like armor tanking, the binary nature of EWAR, and the lack of inertia/acceleration in strafing. Note the last 3 are still an issue. This is what happens when people fixate too much on one part of the problem, sometimes you only fix a symptom. No more Sprint Glitch?

Just like you can't fit a Heavy weapon on a Non-sentinel, you can not add excessively heavy Armor Plating to a scout. This would limit the total amount of HP they can stack and would promote ewar over HP. (65 used as an example, more or less is up for discussion. That is just a starting point) Thokk Kill.
