I'm raging.
What am I supposed to do when I get the 'YOU HAVE BEEN SCANNED' message? Seriously, there's nothing I can do. Min Scout has **** ewar, and I don't have proto damps. I can't get under it. Then I have 16 guys all shooting at me. Say goodbye to speed-tanked minjas, because atm it's damp or die for Scouts. Seriously, atm I just feel like I don't want to play anymore. I actually ragequitted.
I prefer 1.8. There, I said it.

Isn't that a good thing? You should have to pick between ewar or HP. No more of this "best of all worlds" where you are fastest, smallest hitbox, invisible, and have almost as much HP as a f***ing Commando.

Run starter fits in pubs til you get the SP for level 5 damps.
There is a reason a lot of us scouts say skilling fully into damps is the number 1 priority for scouts.
Now you found out why.

At this rate they're going to have to dampen all scouts passively just so they can retain their other abilities.
Either way, you shouldn't be getting scanned by non-Gal Logi scans if you're under 28 dB.
Unless passive scans are also shared with the team now?

O.K., sorry, I missed that point. However, what I stated is still valid. Whether you are wanting to run HP, Speed, etc, if you are running a scout you should have to use Dampeners or be seen on the tacnet like every other suit on the battlefield. It shouldn't be "I'm a scout so I'm invisible."

If you don't run damps, everyone knows where you are. Using kincats, or even codebreakers, on min scouts now is no longer a valid playstyle.

As for dampening and speed? 2 CPX damps, 1 CPX KC, and ISH CLK. Fast, dampened, and ready to stab some mercs. The only thing to fear is the Focused scanner, in that case, come back in 10 seconds. |

Unless passive scans are also shared with the team now? I think part of the issue is that many of the scouts previously hadn't been actually dampening.
I know I would run many pubs in my undampened Quaffe suit without much problem. Only occasionally running into scouts the enough precision to see me.
Now those scouts that didn't hardly dampen before are finding themselves in need to do so.
I don't have a problem with the precision level of active scans or team sharing, but I think its too much if its spammed relentlessly.

Well I don't wanna run armor or shield mods on my Logi, but if I don't I can't ***** because I die too quickly because of a lack of HP. All because "you don't wanna" do something, it doesn't mean it isn't viable and a legit balancing system.
Personally I LOVED playing today. I still had a few scouts get up on me and instagank without me seeing them, but for the most part I was able to at least have a CHANCE before I was whacked, and even killed a couple back.

Yes there are a few things that will need to be adjusted a bit (reduce effectiveness of team scans and move current scanners to squad, for example), but the Minja is still functional. You just can't rely on your innate profile as much anymore, as it should be, imo. |

I think this is ok. Tanked Scouts will be what they are supposed to be. Invisible assaults that can be scanned.
I do feel you Minnie Bro. I love my Amarr scout but triple dampening it does gimp my fits. So i have to choose either Damp/Scan or EHP....

Don't worry too much about it. Just go scrub heavy mode on those matches where you feel like tearing your hair out.

I have mixed feeling reading this thread but feel for the OP.
I can't speak for other scouts but my Gal scout was business as usual today.
I don't like labels but I am not sure what the hell a "real scout " is. I suspect it means one that isn't a threat.
I have max Ewar. I run 1 complex damp in pubs, which has always been enough. 2 Kin cats.
I was actively scanned 0 times all day. And I saw 1000 Heavy's if I saw 1.

If you get to lvl 5 hacking and lvl 5 minja, you shouldn't have to use code breakers. You will already be a hacking god. Back when min logis had the hacking bonus, I was just lvl 3 hacking and lvl 5 min logi and I could hack like a boss and the base hacking ability of the min logi suit was much worse than the minja is today.

I prefer 1.8. There, I said it. Get damps. Feel good.Don't die I think this is ok. Tanked Scouts will be what they are supposed to be. Invisible assaults that can be scanned. I do feel you Minnie Bro. I love my Amarr scout but triple dampening it does gimp my fits. So i have to choose either Damp/Scan or EHP.... But hey. It aint too bad...XD
I was gonna skill into amarr scout, from caldari scout but heaps of these threads popped up, and the caldari scout gets a 15% profile bonus. I run 1 complex dampener with a codebreaker/CPU upgrade if i am using proto links
Well, i know what I am going to not do haha

Now you know how I feel when calscout skills were butchered, ruining everyone who used it to fight against scouts, and scout vs non scout gameplay was almost made impossible.
As long as it ruins gameplay for the gal and amarr scout its for the best. Those are the worst kinds, but regardless all scouts need to be taken down a notch. |

Isn't that a good thing? You should have to pick between ewar or HP. No more of this "best of all worlds" where you are fastest, smallest hitbox, invisible, and have almost as much HP as a f***ing Commando.
Yeah, if you have almost as much HP as a commando, you're certainly not the fastest, you're definitely not invisible and though your hitbox may be small, it won't matter if your strafe speed is garbage due to armor plates.
If scouts have eWar, they probably don't have that much eHP. Don't claim OP just because you get shotgunned in the back, you can't always go a match without dying.

Well the average competitive player has Gal Scout to 5, and if smart, damps to 5 as well.
I'm sorry to hear about the Min scout's demise. I was indeed planning on speccing in on it. Hopefully two damps does the trick?
I don't want to have to run proto to escape scans.

Yeah... I saw you rage quit when I signed on.
It's the Team Scans, that are really getting ya. Welcome to Scout life back in Closed Beta. LOL
You NEED a pair EN or Complex Damps in this current meta. As a minja, you will have to try and target the Logis and other players running scanning equipment.
Team Scans + ISK payouts + BETTER BALANCE than EVER before, are really helping the fights out right now.
The only way I can think to properly counter Team Scans as a NON-scout is to kill the scanning players as often as possible.
I trust Rattati's judgement in bringing Team Scans back, but we need proper counters.

Given the relative number of hotfixes vs patches, its much easier for them to put in place as much as possible in a patch, then balance around that. I think that is what you are seeing with the scanners.

One thing's for sure: With the mostly fixed hit detection, scouts can be hit as easily as medium frames. Took down a proto Cal scout with a hip-firing STD SMG, even as he started to strafe.
And my Gal Scout was dead meat as soon as someone happens to see me evading. Never happened at that degree before.

If I can recall, a patch or two later CCP decided to limit them to squad only. This was due to scanderina who would scan and spin all around to see the entire map.
Now that the scanderina issue has been handled I think CCP wants them to be team-wide again. They may need some balancing though.
I wish there were two types of scanners: team-wide scanners with long cooldowns (60+ seconds) and squad-wide scanners with the normal cooldowns.
My advice to you, playa...

Avoid standing in front of scanners?
You're only getting scanned if the scanner is pointed at you and honestly you don't even need proto damps to evade most scans. Scanners have a narrow angle that they scan at. If you do your job as a scout and flank properly then you won't need to worry about being tagged for 5 seconds. For you to be tagged by an active scanner means you stood in front of the scanner.
If you -do- get tagged, you're only tagged for 5 seconds or so. After that there's a recharge time for the scanner to deal with and then they have to find you again to tag you.
If they're running a 4 scanner Gallogi then they've specialised so heavily in scanning that I really do have zero sympathy for any complaints that you should be able to evade them with no effort.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

Didnt read all 6 pages of responses, the OP is simple enough:
If you're speed-tanking amd being scanned then RUN AWAY.
too ez?
RUN AWAY and time out the duration you'd be visible for and then RUN BACK from a different direction. Your visibility time is much much shorter than the scanners' cooldown time. And if you still can't get it done CHOOSE A DIFFERENT ENGAGEMENT.

Play some Ambushes in starter fits.
I played this afternoon in my Quaffe suit undampened and didn't have many problems today.
You kind of need to learn how to get through these periods, because they are going to happen. And if that means taking a break from the game as a whole, there is no harm in that.

What am I supposed to do when I get the 'YOU HAVE BEEN SCANNED' message? Seriously, there's nothing I can do. Min Scout has **** ewar, and I don't have proto damps. I can't get under it. Then I have 16 guys all shooting at me. Say goodbye to speed-tanked minjas, because atm it's damp or die for Scouts. Seriously, atm I just feel like I don't want to play anymore. I actually ragequitted.
I prefer 1.8. There, I said it. minja isnt an ewar scout its a Scout scout.. scout like TF2.. aka squishy but hit hard hit fast and GTFO ps. raise your ewar skills to L5 to avoid scrub scans It doesn't matter anymore. Unless you load on the damps, they see you coming now. All 16 of them. W. T. F.
My BPO SEVR Logi suit occasionally dips under scans with only my LVL 5 EWAR Skills, you can get your scout there too. If I'm in my Proto Gal logi with proto scans, your chances are slim but still possible.
If you want to be sneaky now, you need to be sneaky ONLY, you cant tank and be sneaky anymore. |

. Say goodbye to speed-tanked minjas,
Isn't that a good thing? You should have to pick between ewar or HP. No more of this "best of all worlds" where you are fastest, smallest hitbox, invisible, and have almost as much HP as a f***ing Commando.
Lol. It doesn't matter how many damps you put on your Minmatar scout , you still get picked up by proto gal logi scanners. Also... Min scout has lowest HP in the game. Only thing they got is speed, hacking, NK damage, and that's barely helpful with the amount of RR's clipping at you. :)

Back then, in order to evade Duvolle Focused, you needed Gallente Scout with 4 CPX Dampeners. Any other fit and you got scanned. Get good, like we have.
Or get good, then get bad, and run BPOs, like I have. Were scans shared with the entire team back then?
Scouts also had much less HP back then, AND no cloaks. Yet some of the scouts in barber shop persisted and came forth; We even had a ninja event back then. I ended that event with 74 stabbings and understanding the problem scouts face from moment to moment at the time to get them buffed up in a way (did none of the numbers just laid out the problems) got me into the barber shop as an honorary. Though cross has been doing a good job interacting with them lately.

I prefer 1.8. There, I said it. Dampening modules? have you tried using them? they help out a lot but they should get a buff in effectiveness I think. EDIT: oh you you did say you tried using them xD sorry
LOL I like how some people act all serious, like they matter.

I recently started to use an Amarr scout suit,no cloaks,no dumpers, like i used to do ages ago(at 1.4) and i'm doing incredibly well,my KDR is quite high considering that I use just basic and militia stuff on this suit (around 3.5-4 KDR in the last couple of days). Perhaps you just have to change something in your fitting to adapt to this new situation, for example after 1.9 i started to play as a scout again and now i'm running boosters to scan radius and precision, 2 reactive armour plates,1 shield extender,CR, Breach SP,links and RE.try it out works great to me. If fitting is not the problem try to change your approach.

Well I suppose I can just hack points all day......yeah.....codebreakers......lowslot.
*sigh* I'm going to have to start running proto again aren't I? Adv + 2 code breakers and a pro cloak should do it for everything but Gal Logi scans

I may have to start using my CR again.
1.9 Where cloaked scouts give way to tanked scouts. Problem solved?
