I-Shayz-I ZionTCD Legacy Rising 175	Posted - 2013.03.30 07:26:00 - [1] - Quote Seriously! How many times has an event reward been a scout suit, or some sort of scout equipment? There are currently three "featured fits" for the scout class, and heck even the Merc pack comes with a scout suit and close quarters equipment. And this most recent event makes me laugh: http://dust514.com/beta/human-endurance/ Seriously CCP? You say "Ever find yourself short on battle supplies and wished you had a few extra blueprints to keep you in the fight? Then hereGÇÖs your chance to stock up on some war material for your hard work!" but don't show any Logi love? What about heavies? They probably need the extra suits and equipment more than anyone seeing as how expensive their stuff is. The rewards for this new event are: Shotguns SMGs Sniper Rifles Scout suits and Sprint mods I just...why? Is the scout population lacking or something? Do you want more people to use scout dropsuits?

Too many Heavies are OP threads, not enough shotgun scouts. You did notice all the items were clearly anti-heavy right? CCP's up to something...
Harkon Vysarii Dead Six Initiative Daringly Inserting Large Dangerous Objects 134	Posted - 2013.03.30 07:30:00 - [3] - Quote Yeah that always struck me as odd.
DUST Fiend Sinq Laison Gendarmes Gallente Federation 2171	Posted - 2013.03.30 07:30:00 - [4] - Quote Well these events are clearly designed to give useful things to a specific type of suit, and since it's over the course of a week, it's only logical that there will be similar rewards for all suits and playstyles at some point. Also, I personally see scouts the least, most shotgunners use Assault these days, and snipers also seem to favor Assault, Heavy, or Logi over scout.
WyrmHero1945 IMPSwarm Negative-Feedback 79	Posted - 2013.03.30 07:51:00 - [5] - Quote I don't think they love it do much giving it 200 total HP lmao.
Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 2222	Posted - 2013.03.30 07:58:00 - [6] - Quote SMG is a signature weapon for Logis (both are Minmatar gear). Sniper Rifle is a Caldari weapon, and well-suited to the Assault suit. Shotgun is a good weapon for Gallente Scouts. They gave Gallente the Shotgun instead of the AR because it's slightly more of a niche weapon, like the Sniper and SMG. Also, CQC players are the ones losing the most gear in battle, and Scouts are meant to be one of the best options for CQC. Scout suits are not only CQC-focused, but are also extremely fragile in comparison with the other suits available. Sprint mods are commonly used on Assault suits for an edge in mobility, and on Logi suits to reach downed allies sooner. There are logical reasons behind every item. Also, it doesn't make sense to have an event giving away weapons the majority of the playerbase can't use. The Scout suits are the only thing that violates that. EVERY suit can hold a sprint mod - even a Heavy (although why would you do that?). Every suit can hold any Light Weapon (although Shotgun Heavies aren't the most practical. Heavy and Logi Snipers are pretty awesome in the right hands. Logi Shotgunners, while not common, aren't unheard-of. Heavy Shotgunners have been popular in a few builds, and are still nasty in many cases. Scout suits don't work the best for Assault, Logi or Heavy players though, so I hope there are events where we get other specialist gear.
WyrmHero1945 IMPSwarm Negative-Feedback 79	Posted - 2013.03.30 08:08:00 - [7] - Quote Am I the only one who thinks the scout A-series is better than the B-series? It's faster and has more shields...yet CCP says B-series is better lol (by being a rank 3 reward).

Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 1150	Posted - 2013.03.30 16:20:00 - [9] - Quote Not enough scouts is precisely it. I've been listening to CCP's not-so-subtle hints, and have been doing a ton of playing around with scouts. Even killed an advanced HMG heavy by using profile dampeners, a TAC AR, SMG, and scout suit (all standard)

Sounds like your dropsuit sig will still have a lot to do with it.

Ya that cloak needs to be SCOUT only It also requires the cloak to be included in Uprising 1.0. It is not.
