in this game, WP seem to matter more than K/D. thats why you get WP for things other than K/D as well. and that is why you can have some "bad player" with a negative K/D among the top of post-game leaderboards from doing support things.

However, I understand that people will always be obsessed with K/D and will always believe that it is the only thing that matters in any game. and that's just how it will always be.

eh. whatever, we'll have our opinions and they'll always differ. Nothing to do about it.

K/D is important, but it isn't the only thing. people need to get used to that I guess.

K/d Might not be everything but 4/6 is pretty effing awful.
That's like a late join where your team is being redlined score.

this is what people have been saying, but alas, it always falls on deaf ears.

yes, Scout is combat, but it is a different style of combat from a suit like Assault. its not a in-your-face run-and-gun style of combat. and yes, it is partially support.

just ran a milita scout and earned 1147 WP 4/6 K/D ratio

mass driver, sub, injector, dampener. was the only models i used and i racked up WP so no you people complaining just need to adapt. i did this with mimimum skills in that stuff bare bones level one and two.

It's a broken because the strafe was dialed down to sub-snail "please someone shoot me in the face" speed style of combat.

The scout isn't useless, not for the other team.

@crimson

You're right, 4/6 doesn't win battle. Neither does 20/0 if the team you are in doesn't win a match as I saw on several occasions. In one match, my team had the worse k/d ratio but won the match even though the opposing team had staggering k/d ratios across the board.

WP > k/d.

last comment.

I disagree with your hyperbole. It doesn't really feel slow to me. maybe it is because I played Logi last build exclusively, and did not play the Scout till this build.

ether way, I hope they raise the strafe speed to the ceiling in the next build. I hope they raise it so much that nobody bothers to use anything but the Scout Suit. I'm tired or seeing the arguing and bickering over it. I hope CCP does whatever it needs to to make you guys specifically, personally satisfied.

and with that said. you guys win. I'm going to start subscribing to the K/D is Everything, nothing else matters mentality.

huzzah.

I think the point that scouts are trying to make is, what can a scout do better than a kittenault, heavy, or logi? The answer is hide. I don't think this is what ccp intended when they made the classes.

If you are running around with a class that is made for killing playing as support then you are doing it wrong. Especially if you are going negative. I don't care how much wp you have.

Playing with the scout as support to try and claim it isn't useless is idiotic at the very least.

Oh and I kinda hoped someone else would test out some new fits for a scout and back be up. Have any of you tried to run the scout with out worrying about Kdr?

I want to reiterate this, "What can a scout suit do that an assault suit can't do just as well?"

Scout suits are barely faster and assaults have a little more of a signature over scouts.

I'm waiting to see if CCP adds anything next build to make scouts actually worth getting, but as for this build they are useless. The small boosts in stats is dwarfed by the assaults hp.

No QQ its just how it is, ]if you want to adapt switch to assault.

oh hey, did you know you can do the same thing with an assult suit with better results?

more CPU/PG, more armor/shield the same strafe.

yeah, you are totally right that the scout suit has a home.

Nothing.



thats what I did. and now I see that I was wrong.

there is no current reason to use the scout suit over the assault one.

Its cheaper I think, it woud take 2 dampeners to get the same affect while the scout can do it with one all the mods in the world wont change the fact I can walk faster than you, I pretty sure I have more stamina, oh and at medium range that smaller hit box and speed saved me from death.

CCP still needs to increase the mobility and agility of the suit, increase the speed margin, and make more scout related mods.

A crossbow with 100s damage and average reload as a side arm paired with the scouts (should be) faster reload and the skill should get some impressive results
