\______/ <--- Before leaving please put your tears and ISK in here. Thanks.

But seriously, you just freshly came out from Academy with cheap and probably poorly fitted suits. Why do you expect to take out PRO suits 1on1? Especially with a Scout. You are twice as fast as a brick tanked Amarr Assault, ran away from them, put REs at their feet or attack them from behind.

and being as mobile and easy to hit as a giant rock

I've been playing for a lot longer than fresh out of academy genius. I've got a proto scout and adv assault. Its just too hard to do well anymore. My scout CK.0 with about 400hp can do crap against an assault rifle.

Did I mention the 30 armor rep/second?

assault rifle is an anti shield weapon

No s*** sherlock - _ -

Everyone. Tanking with assualts. Tanking with heavies. Scouts with shotguns. That's all there is these days. And overpowered as can get assault rifles. DO SOMETHING CCP. What do you expect new players to do? Match making sucks, so they're for sure going to be put in with a bunch of photos running assault rifles and 800 armor on assaults. I myself have gotten to the point where I struggle to do well no matter what I run! Think about it CCP. Fix the game. And my scout. You've lost yet another player :)

Yeah, you aren't doing well at all.

Also - you are complaining about them balancing the game - this is a good thing, as people actually perform at their skill level. You sound like you just have sour grapes.

Until you suggest a way to fix something you feel is wrong, there is no point to your complaining other than to hear yourself "talk" and to get attention.

ur doing something wrong. not hard to do well in this game no matter what fit u use if used correctly. oh yeah. send me ur isk pls.

he has a point which your stupid if you can't see it.

the new player experience must be pretty awful, throwing yourself time after time against people with 3 times the EHP and 40 percent more damage than yourself must be rather crap. beyond that you need to learn what the game is all about aswell.

i am sure some clever person will come back with tactics ect - but its irrelevant the passive + gear gap is too great for the vast majority of people wanting to try out a new game. and no you did not have it this bad as the gap between the haves and have nots has never been so large.

ill always remember a chat i had after a PC battle where i got killed 5 times and killed the guy once a while back. he told me about play and counter play which i understood, but could not implement due to not have enough SP's so although it would have been great to change out weapons and or suits according to who your fighting it could not realistically be done effectively. it had taken me a year to have the SP's to be good at one thing.

the waiting times have reduced, i believe its got to the point where its viable and necessary to split the pubs into advanced and over and basic and bellow. it will make the game more enjoyable for most besides those who enjoy stomping 1 sided battles.

yes i know squads are the biggest force multiplier - but there is still a large difference if your in a basic or starter fit facing a squad vs a squad of proto.

then dont complain. that is the price of FOTM chasing... other people adapt and wreck you. if you dont have another suit then how about you do what you are supposed to? aka skirmish hit and run instead of trying to be a scout assault

I'm not a scout assault genius, I used to hit and run, but because I don't know where enemies are, I can't go to get someone and it turns out he's surrounded by flipping heavies!

Eve online has high sec for new players to have "relative" safety from the free for all seen in low sec.

We need a high sec low rewards area for our new players and our not so new players that aren't good enough to tackle proto squads.

If you build it, they will come....



Side thought... What if we made one of our modes, thinking domination, high sec?

First of all, been playing since late beta. Not new. And second, the only reason I'm mad is because when you put months of playing into the game to get something you want, and CCP nerfs it to complete dog crap, it really sucks. And yeah, lots of stuff is OP, but it's understandable. It's those nerfs.

Adapt & over come...or post & cry if that works better for you.

Changes to ewar have made the cal scout pretty pointless to use compare to other scout suits, but it's not completely worthless. Maybe make some lol fits & see if you have any fun with those. I've learned some new tricks doing this, maybe you can do the same.

If you are diehard scout, go to the barbershop with a positive attitude & get some help.

W.T.* ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.

CAl scout is THE BEST SCOUT.

Gal scout cannot scan with 30 mts MAX scan range// only works cuz low slots and damp.
same problem with Amarr scout, (30mts max range) only works as a Flanker cuz decently low Scan profile (compared to assaults), low slots and massive stamina.
Minnie is still the best hacker and NKfer, but its really specialized.

CAl has DAmpening, Regen (With 50 shield regen per sec) and the best RANGE.

Have you checked Range amplifiers lately? 15% range increase at PROTO level.

You would need 3 PROTO range amplifiers to get the same scan range the cal scout has.

Sure, the passive scanning did take a huge hit, but cal scout is still 100% solid.

I have one word for you : Nova Knife. Well thats two. I killed a proto with a Tiger scout and I have zero SP into Minmatar scout

Do you run Caldari scout? Do you think it's f****** solid!?!?!?!
