Just so we are clear, am I correct in my assumption that the issue we are discussing is that it appears when a scout suit moves in a specific way ("zig zag" "twitch straffe" ect.) that somehow the game is not registering damage on the scout suit...? We believe this is the case because we can see that our reticle/cross hair is on the player an as we are firing but we can also see the damage displayed not lowering (the bars over the player that display their armor and shield).

Can I further assume that most of us are not complaining that the scout is "too small" or "too fast" ...rather as previously stated, that the game appears to not be registering hits accurately.

Furthermore, a separate concern is, is CCP knowingly and intentionally creating the game with the scout not registering damage in the above mentioned ways because that is their vision for the game.

Sorry fellow Dusters this has gotten a little winded. Stryker sums it up correctly.

Players using scout suits: I am not calling for a nerf. Put your bat away. Most of us agree. There is lag. There are hit detection issues. There is something funky with aim assist pulling our crosshairs (?something amiss) My experience with scout suits is the same as most of yours. I have drilled one as it ran from me and 60 bullets all missed. Fine. I have bad aim or they have a small hit box and I was off.

****This thread was meant to ask DEV's if the CQ "twitch strafe" is intentional. It also was to see how rampant this practice is. Just because you killed a scout does not mean he was "twitch strafing". Just because you died when you were a scout does not mean you were twitch strafing. Just because you died while a scout while twitch strafing does not negate the experiences many of us are having. Maybe you got hit from the side and one bullet from your "dance" partner finished you off. Maybe the game actually worked as it appeared and you did take damage. Please humbly...many of these players speaking about this "scout glitch" have over 30 million SP. We have been around the block. I had 32 million. Some of us had proto scouts and experienced this from both sides of the coin. We are speaking from a lot of gaming hours. Remember I had a mountain climbing accident and can not walk still. I am laid up on a couch 23 hours of the day. Dust takes many of those hours. I am just reporting what appears to be a broken mechanic. If I led you to believe anything else I am sorry. Play a match with me and I believe you will see I am pretty level headed and excited to see Dust 514 succeed.

From experience I can tell you idocholiday is a real good player and does not exploit game mechanics. He is also one hell of an opponent and can hold is own, so if he says there maybe some bad hit detection or the scout suit may need a little bigger hit box then he has a point. I played against him and protoman they both have very good aim and are some of the only people that give me trouble and if they both think something is off it probably is. I agree with idoc in some ways I do believe the scout could use a little bigger hit box. I am an alright player I would say and there is time where i feel like im not even shooting bullets at scouts.
