Cure me of my ignorance. Is a Scout's life really that terrible in New Eden? I ask because I considered becoming one myself.

well, its not terrible, just very hard and frustrating, but the scou life increases your skills, hahaha, well serious now, its pretty hard and we are underpowered in every sense, but there is a reason why scouts are the best players on dust, and no other class has a code, if you meet another scout on the battlefield and both have nova knifes, a duel is upon you, and death or victory are the only way to end the duel, you need to be dedicated and have love for sneaking and stealth, if you dont, dont bother, you will be dissapointed

Exactly. If you like being very tactical in terms of where you can move, what you can do, then it's fun. If you like needing to really choose your fights and opponents, it's fun. If you like dying a lot... wait, let me try again: if you like managing a small number of hitpoints and fighting at a disadvantage, it's fun. If you like running fast as hell and getting behind enemy lines for some guerilla warfare, it's fun.

If you like having a good KDR, not fun. If you like running head-on into engagements, not fun. If you like being a brutish fighter, not fun.

Fun or not, is it terrible? Well, it's hard. Craptastically hard.... and frustrating. And be prepared to die, a lot, and probably not get very many revives.

LOL!! After reading this post, I'm actually interested. Sounds like it would fit my playstyle

It can be fun, and when it is, its really fun, but other times its frustrating.

Like clearly hitting that guy over and over with your Shotgun and he only loses a quarter of his shield, or being insta-killed by HMGs.

I finally got my ADV Knives last night, but I'm doing terrible with them Sad

I was trying to knife people out of their LAVs.

The highs that make it addictive: Ninja hacking a point and then mopping an entire response squad Shotgun headshots on unsuspecting lav drivers and gunners Watching enemies file by you and lurking in their 6 for easy kills The lows that make my scout face frown: Enemies who spin and ohk w fused grenades and flaylock pistols Ohk from charged sniper and scrambler rifles Walls and steps preventing egress after successful hit n run Like most of RL its the small victories that keep you going...few merc play RL though so very few dedicated scouts. ;p
