I think you switched the burst and ia5 carrying ammo. -staff recruiter has 48, same as the breach and wolfman but not even close in damage. look at the cpu/pg cost militia- 15 cpu, 5 pg, damage 62, rof 333.33, clip 10, ammo 60 basic- 12 cpu, 3 pg, damage 62, rof 352.94, clip 12, ammo 72 adv - 30 cpu, 6 pg, damage 65.1 rof 352.94, clip 12, ammo 72 staff- 20 cpu, 5 pg, damage 63.55, rof 333.33, clip 10, ammo 48

I think the Gallente should be 1hp/s over the Minmatar and the Minmatar 0.5hp/s over the Amarr and the Caldari. Always remembering the Amarr are supposed to have great tanking capacity with low recovery and the Minmatar are supposed to have low tanking capacity with high recovery; and we need have a big advantage on the Gallente reparing over the Amarr reparing, with it the Gallente is retained as the best option if you want to repair.

The best way to allow other Frames to combat them is to get them when they are down. I believe Heat is the best way to manage this situation. Good Sentinels will manage their heat well and not be bothered by this change. Bandaid solution. Heat buildup isn't going to solve the sentinel dominance unless you completely strip the HMG of utility. Eviction of sentinels from CQC is the only way to kick this problem off the board. Either that or sentinels will have to be reworked from the ground up for what the fifth or sixth time now? This problem is one I predicted in beta when everyone insisted that the HMG be CQC only. Making it shorter sustained operation can only go so far before you hit a tipping point and the weapon breaks completely. While I am well aware that you probably disagree with me I'm already skilling into assaults because the spam is obnoxious. But the heat on the MLT HMG already makes the gun borderline unusable because you overheat right around 1/3-1/2 the drum. Changing the HMG to pull sentinels out of cqc except for the Burst is going to be the simplest and most effective answer because the burst represents what a CQC heavy weapon Should be. You made the burst awesome. But the HMG standard line is always going to hang on the razor's edge between "too effective" and "too broken to use" because it is built like a fire support weapon and then shoehorned into CQC. My two cents. Hopefully you take a poke at the idea instead of dismissing it. In any case... QUAFE SUITS! The snuggle is real. TL;DR: I think about DUST entirely too much and need to find a better hobby. EVE Online is what you get when engineers attempt to create "fun" without consulting someone who comprehends the word.
Slave of MORTE Eyniletti Rangers Minmatar Republic 41	Posted - 2014.11.06 15:47:00 - [36] - Quote Bloody hell now I'm going to have to adjust my sensitivities ...sighs Hey how about buffing payouts back to pre 1.9 lvl at least If your not going to address the isk issue that's pretty ****** .. You now make less isk in pubs than ever before and it's very very disappointing that you have not addressed this yet as it kills game play And promotes 1.9 pushing the game more towards pay to win. Please stop leaving payouts in a desolate place in the hopes you'll sell more aurum as it's killing dust for me. That i havnt been able to hit 300k since yesterday has caused me to drop this game entirely before 1.9 I averaged 350 k and pealed over 500 ...now I can barely get over 260k...The game is no longer worth playing Yet another slave of Mortedeamor

I think this issue might have been my first post on the forums back in Mordu's Trials. Sheesh. Uplinks should get a scan too. Would personally buff the precision for CRU's even more, such that if a scout wants to camp a CRU they are going to have to optimize/sacrifice their fit to do so. With Equipment getting tiered sig profiles does this 35 precision mean i'll be able to camp CRU's with proto RE's? PSN: RationalSpark

Shelves Gal Logi.- EDIT: Like... Blah, I can't even fight it anymore. Scouts win this day. ADDITIONAL EDIT: Actually, you know what, let me end with this... Who said that Focused Active Scanners were OP? I want a consensus on how many people said, specifically, that Duvolle Focused Active Scanners were OP. I guess the difference between useful and useless is 25 m? Because the focused scanner "was" squad only... Going back to squad only doesn't bother me so much. It's not -just- the 25m reduction that makes it effectively useless it's also the 2 second drop as well. Consider this: 3 seconds of visibility at 75m. Assuming this particular scout is booking it at 9.0m/sec, he's already traveled 27m closer to you when the visibility duration goes down. That's 48m for you to find him (and he'll probably be cloaked) and do something about it within the next 37 seconds. 5 Seconds -IS- a long time on the battlefield but imagine being half-blind for 37 seconds. Sure, could have multiple Scanners (hamstringing your job as a Logi) or just have multiple Gal Logi's (which is kinda like AV vs Vehicle arguments: Why should it take more than one person to combat one other enemy?) The Focused Active Scanner is already a niche piece of equipment; the only time anyone is ever going to fit it is if they are solely looking for Scouts. I don't think that nerfing the Focused is going to solve problems with the rest of the suits so much as just going to open up more opportunities for Scouts to kick ass. But, back to the niche thing... I don't know of anyone that honestly complains about the Focused Active Scanner being the problem here. Being scanned is being scanned and if you're running anything besides a Scout suit, chances are I probably don't need to use a Focused to spot you. Anecdotal as it may be, I have -never- heard of anyone saying, "Oh **** that, Focused Active Scanners are so OP." Legion Transparency Me and My Girl

But I'm still losing 10hp/s and 1m/s because of your "Assaults should damp" thing. So guess I'm losing 7.5hp/s now lol Are you serious? Because I would like Assaults to have the "ability" to avoid scans by reducing sig profile and fit a single damp? I am going to need to stay competitive with the shield assaults who also have the ability, but don't sacrifice nearly as much. So basically, either I am slightly more combat effective and light up like a christmas tree while they sneak around, or we are both sneaky but they have the upper hand.

They're not even better than assaults on their own... Caldari Sentinels are dominant... And if heat build up is bumped up, the hit detection should be fixed too...

BAR nerf is on the table, yes. Breach AR nerf? Are you serious? You do play this game right? Is the reduced range in which you are forced to fight in not enough for you? And as far as Gallente Logis go, I bought the respec to skill out of Gallente Logistics because I knew you guys would nerf the ever loving *** out of scanners.

I think increasing the uncloaking delay was also a great idea. The rest of the changes seem good to me, but I'm of the opinion that the proper way to balance heavies is to either reduce their DPS or EHP rather than heat build up, but I'll reserve further comment until I have a chance to play with the changes. On a related note, d\id you ever get stats on weapon usage in PC? I thought I saw someone quote it in another thread, but alas, I am unable to find it. Thanks for all you do...Leadfoot
CommanderBolt KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 2347	Posted - 2014.11.06 21:35:00 - [57] - Quote @ CCP Rattati I dislike the scanner changes. They are unneeded. I believe we should leave things for a while to see how they truly settle out. I also dislike the Laser Rifle ADS 'nerf'. Just because some people are unwilling to adapt or change sensitivity settings I can see this will adversely affect using the LR with KB/M..... time will tell but on paper I dislike the sound of that :( Happy about getting the native armour repairs back. I really appreciate your decisive action but Rattati, too much change too fast is not necessarily a good thing. Also you know the HMG is supposed to be a clone grinder gun. I honestly rarely rarely do the heavy thing but I dislike nerfs but still, see how they go I guess.

That will enable scouts focused on dampening to avoid being seen by the whole opposing team when only one or two (or more!) of them are using focused scanners. A perfect first step! IGÇÖm not sure that the Focused Scanner needs any further nerfs beyond that, considering that the results will only be shared with squad. If what itGÇÖs showing to 6 or fewer players still needs toning down then the range nerf seems in keeping with its best use: looking for damped scouts lurking nearby. I heartily disagree with the scan duration nerf. 5 (7.5) seconds is already a short time. 3.5 (5.25) seconds is not enough to scare a scout. If he knows heGÇÖs tagged for 3-5 seconds heGÇÖll just find cover, etc., but the prospect of 7.5 seconds might make him really back off and get out of position from where he wants to be. The Focused Scanner, considering its ISK and fitting costs, should at least have the chance to influence scoutsGÇÖ behavior that much, especially when only squadmates are seeing him on scan. I donGÇÖt think the Focused Scanner was being used much before team share. (I could be wrong.) Be careful that you donGÇÖt nerf it into oblivion. The Focused Scanner is not only extremely expensive but ridiculously demanding of PG, so this nerf may lead a lot of players to consider it not worth using if they canGÇÖt teamshare. That would be a shame, and would have the opposite effect of what youGÇÖre intending. I strongly recommend that you decrease both its ISK and fitting costs now that it canGÇÖt do what the other scanners can. ItGÇÖs no longer just better than the rest, so its costs should reflect that. Toning down its cost to go with this nerf will also decrease the chance of players giving up on it, which would be an indirect buff to scouts. CRU Precision and Range: Getting CRU camped is the worst experience for veteran players too. This is a no-brainer and should have been implemented ages ago. But the range is so short. A whole crowd could still be camping it outside of 15 meters. Campers arenGÇÖt likely to get that close even now. I suggest 25 meters. This will give spawners a much better chance, and if it cause CRUs to serve somewhat as GÇ£scan turretsGÇ¥ I think that adds a fun element to the game and would make CRUs more contested. Cloak Delay and Animation: Yes, the delay is too short. ThatGÇÖs confirmed and itGÇÖs time to push it forward. 1 second will make a difference. I donGÇÖt see how the decloak animation is a buff though. Since its removal scouts just appear in front of you. The animation gives you more time to react. Lazor ADS tracking: YESSSS!!! RR kick: Yeah, 0.2 was too much. RR shouldnGÇÖt be such a liability hipfiring that trying to do it just gets you killed every time. 0.1 is a better place to start. Then maybe if it needs to be toned down again, consider increasing charge time further before increasing kick. This would nerf RR CQC but those who really know how to handle a RR would be able to compensate with good timing, thus rewarding skill. HMG Heat: This is a perfect way to tone down heavies by forcing them to be more disciplined and conservative. TheyGÇÖll still be just as powerful but hopefully now will have to think on their feet more and make some choices to avoid overheat. Right now they can just spray all day and night. Perfect. Will this affect the burst HMG? (DonGÇÖt forget to buff the AHMG soon!!)
