They not only inspire scrub tactics but they unbalance the data. Stupid myos. look at that massive spike of purchases

PLC without myos is skill,with myos is slightly scrubby. But jumpy mass driver is full on scrub tactics.

Though I could say the same for laser weaponry. Explosives and laser weaponry will absolutely destroy armor and shield suits respectively.

Though as ROMULUS said you can't expect not to be killed quickly in a scout with no damps or armor. You are a glass cannon. A militia HMG, advanced AR and even an advanced Scrambler Pistol will kill you quickly. It might be more annoying because it's an explosive, but just about any quick firing weapon could obliterate your small amount of armor. I'm not saying that you personally don't have the skill to dodge the shots, I'm saying that even the best scout player in the game would be easy to kill without substantial armor or stealth.

You are running a classic speed tank/ glass cannon fit, and it's difficult to survive against any weapon regardless of skill.

Though, you say the officer Mass Driver is over powered, but just about every Officer Weapon is so that's a mute point.

I don't have any issues with depth perception. What I am saying is that long range kills with the Mass Driver, Flaylock and Plasma Cannon are difficult to achieve because your target has to be mostly standing still and not moving across say rolling hills. At that point you can see the projectile and get out of the way without much haste. So at long range it's very difficult to use against an aware target with cover and decent mobility. Close Range it's basically suicide, and almost always a gamble especially with the Assault and standard Mass Drivers. So there is a sweet spot where the enemy is close enough they can't reasonably dodge in time and you don't run the risk of blowing yourself up.

I want to reiterate that if the person is above on say a cliff, ledge or balcony then you have basically lost that fight. If you can get above someone with a parabolic weapon then they have to actually hit you with it to do damage, and that negates the area of effect so you basically have a very awkward Sniper with travel time and drop.

Also though, don't be so lame in argument. No.one except you is trying to attack anyone's intelligence. Everyone has an opinion, and as long as you have reasoning it should be respectable. And when I say argument I am really thinking of a gentlemanly debate. I don't expect all of us to act like senators and be very polite, but personal attacks are very nonsensical. It ruins the atmosphere from one of reason and logic to just rage. What are you going to do with that? Though, I'm not salty; I'm not mad or angry. Though, I am upset that this behavior is continuing across the forums.

You must be pretty passionate about the game to dedicate as much time as you do to post as often as you do, and in that aspect we are in the same boat and we will interact often enough. I think if we could both respect each other, even as just rivals, it would be a better atmosphere. I say this because I've had feuds with dozens of people here and I'm tired of it. I just want to be productive, and funny.

You may still troll or rage at me because you think I'm trying to talk down at you, and lower your status, or because you see me as a parental/authoritarian figure but that's not at all my drive or motive here. I just want us to push for a better game even if we disagree completely on how it should be done. Even if we never agree it would be awesome to just be able to joke afterwards anyways.

So you run around as a scout... trying to shotgun people.....without damps......... *sigh*.......

AND YOU WONDER WHY YOU ARE GETTING BLOWN TO SMITHERINES?

Congratz, you just got put on the "Never Read Anymore Of Your Threads List", goodbye.
