If they gain a little more UMPH to the suit, it would be a viable option. Other wise, it is just rush, uplink, change suit. But it really does. My play-style depends on Speed. I feel sluggish without 2 knicats (10.01m/s), because I flank I am away from the logi so I need an Armor Repairer. 3 Low Slots right there. The changes to Stamina makes me place a Cardiac Regulator in that 4th slot. I run proto all-day, every-day. The prices should be costing me that much per suit. 130K/suit. I've got the Covenant Suit, and both dragonfly suits. If I really need to make some ISK quick I go in an ambush with those, but I haven't done that this month.
Cass Caul Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 95	Posted - 2013.09.14 20:24:00 - [3] - Quote Sigh I need to spec into ARs or ScRs. All these new maps favor mid-range combat. From the complete hate of snipers to the very long distances from one installation to another. There is just no way I can run around with a shotgun or sniper rifle. Even the Research facility favors the AR. With long (20m+) hallways that are 2 person wide, even without aim assist you just shoot down the middle and guarantee hits.

Generally load up a match with a preferred fitting, then switch to dampened fitting if/when scanned. Did this against Marauder's AE killsquad earlier today. A red-dot whipped out a proto scanner which picked me up until I switched to a loadout with one basic dampener. I'm at dampening Lvl(3) which suggests the above math is accurate. ugh, i don;t know why i keep doing it but i always think of the basic as only 10%. I actually find proto scanners all the time though.

So if a Scout is someone that used a light frame or scout suit more than 50% of the time, Does that make me a sniper? because I do that more than 50% of the time. Considering most of the games I play are PCs and they rarely let me play not-sniper. I just don't do it when I run in scout squads, on those new I-Hate-Sniper maps, am practicing with a new weapon, or see another scout on the other side. Which means, your idea of me is a little biased. I also love taking down you other scouts with my shotgun. Marauder is the only one of you with a positive win/loss ratio vs me. ("but you don't fight fair! those aren't 1v1s, you're just sneaking up on me." lol that's the whole point of a scout) I also have so very many weapons. Plasma Cannon and Mass Driver at the advance level. Swarms, shotgun, sniper, and scrambler rifle at proto, and SMG, Scrambler pistol, and flaylock at proto. But, ah, favorite scout-squad moment so far: "Argh! you stole my kill!" "What, no, I was trying to help you out. you were almost dead!" "No I wasn't" "yeah, you had like, nothing left on your bar" "no." "Yeah, you were at half armor" ". . . that means I still had 200HP left." "Oh..."

Though that does make Proficiency V take off a whole 0.325 seconds per round!

Question: Is it acceptable -- in this case -- to use the despised Flaylock? I've been playing around with the Breach SMG, but I nearly always use the Flaylock Pistol. It was nerfed- rather, it was balanced- to a good point where it isn't useless, but most people that can't aim can't kill with it. and that first shot regularly takes out their shields so the extra armor damage is always preferable. also a good counter to those "dancers" because they rarely leave it's blast radius.

I currently just run the standard and do reasonably well with it, but sometimes I feel as though it lacks the thumping capability I'd like (this may be largely due to hit detection). Is it worth putting SP into shotguns? Yes, put your SP into it. It makes your STD Shotgun do more damage too. DoubleTap420 wrote: I think we should have a scout tournament.

What do you guys think? interesting. I am so bad a duels though. Like, the idea of being a scout in a fair fight is just completely foreign to me. imo, 3 or 4 distinct separate tourneys all taking place at the same time: Mid-range (AR or ScR), Shotgun, and Sidearm. decide if nova knife is its own or if coupled with sidearms. then I'll go and disrupt the whole thing with m sniper rifle :p

I always see the minmatar scout be touted as the go to speed scout, but without being able to double stack kinetic catalyzers and at least one endurance module, I feel it really underperforms as the so called "speed scout". I briefly tested a high-speed config over the weekend ... 2 complex kincats, 1 enh cardreg ~ 10.01 m/s sprint ... The idea was to play smart with an active scanner ... After 3 disheartening matches, I gave up. Speed tanking is useful for rushing the first letter. Other than that, it is still quite dead. Even when trying to play safe, there's no breaking free once an AR has a bead on you. Not to say it won't work for you, but I found being fast to be of little if any benefit. The problem here, is that you're using the active scanner

I've also given up speed tanking and just use my fast fits for the initial rush. After that it's all scanning/stealth or armor reps. What's sad is that Minmatar Scouts are technically supposed to be faster then Gallente Scout, but the Gallente Scout (with all base stats up) still out performs them. ugh -_- Minmatar is kind of the worst race to be. Throughout the Universe the race's theme is low HP, high base speed, low CPU/PG Gallente is always the best when it comes to a Speed vs HP balance. Take those high slots and use damage mods and run an AR. Flank them from a distance. Let the Gallente charge in and blast them away. Your nova knife bonus is a gimmick and not suited for he Suit's attributes at all.
Cass Caul Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 129	Posted - 2013.09.24 19:52:00 - [12] - Quote ugh. could we keep the repeat posts to a minimum. over 105 pages, a whole page is dedicated to "I wants Scouts this way!" or "They should be like that!" about ever 7-8 pages. and it doesn't change. it is literally the same 3 things over and over again
Cass Caul Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 129	Posted - 2013.09.24 22:12:00 - [13] - Quote 2 complex range extenders have been working well for me on the old maps (radius of about 44m) then a kincat and a basic dampener. hearing the shots or not, I can disappear and through down a Remote Explosive or 2 and wait for them to come around corners. Or be the Uplink deployer. or red uplink destroyer. This works particularly well coupled with the Scrambler Pistol for some range to kite people over to your REs. There is so much more room for variation is Gallente. Or When I sniper I throw up 3 range booster for 52m, usually see them while they're far enough away to call in an LAV or Drop ship. It gives Gallente Scout something to use tactically. It doesn't matter what mods I have though. The simple base range of 22 is ideal for hiding behind corners and worthy of it's own. It isn't a focus, it is a bonus. You're limited by being given a bonus to a specific weapon. with a microfiber and investing in the skills, I could be very effective with the KNs (Actually, i am horrible with them but someone good using a Gallente). It is a shoehorn rather than a good bonus. EDIT: yeah, I've been doing those layouts and examples in PC just to clarify. Well tested stuff.

I once too had the problem, the unclear vision, to see any other scrambler pistol than the Assault. I thought at one point too, that it was the ONLY ONE. Then I saw, I saw. The Breach Holy **** what a challenge sometimes, especially the first time using it. But then I got pistol skills and I discovered what a rewarding pistol. OHK'in snipers, Powerhousing heavies, being straight up unexpected. Marauder I emplore you to buy a hundred and don't stop using it until you've gone through all 100. The Burst The pistol that is the most fun to use. It is UP in terms of Clip size and ammunition but even if you land just 2/3 of the shots as headshots, they are going down. Headshot master of the headshot weapon. It seems to have a little better range too, or at least it's better at longer ranges. The Tactical OK I used it extensively today and I would not recommend it as a Bread & Butter pistol but it's certainly a weird flavor. It has less damage and is practically like the Assault except for CPU/PG strain. However, it's got a longer range and 2x ADS zoom. Pretty good for lining up better headshots because the gun is less in the way of aiming due to zoom. All of Chromosome the Breach was my favorite sidearm. It was my always my first choice, I paired it with Sniper Rifle. I've said it before, but with proficiency 3 you have a damage of 149.7 per shot. with the 450% modifier to headshots that's 523 damage. . . that's more than my scout suit can do with a headshot from the Ishukone Sniper Rifle I tried the burst out. bought about 100 or so, did not like it. I need the precision of the single shot. the IA5 was something I used to use in Chromosome. why they took it off the market I can't undestand. So I was pretty confused on May 6th when all my weapons were gone except my officer weapons, the C27 and the IA5. Started Uprising with maybe 100-125. The damage, rate of rife, and CPU/PG made it a good weapon when you don't have those core upgrades yet. I still like it for the same reason I love the KLO-1, increased range. I like pairing the KLO-1 or IA5 with the shotgun. they have a longer range than the other ones and eaither make it a tool to kite someone around a corner or to shred their shields so the shotgun is more effective.

As far as I know, the base ranges have not changes, but new weapons have been added. like that longer range on those 2, it is maximum range, optimal is only like 25m

I hate PC as a Scout. If you're playing a decent opponent, here are the things a Scout can do: 1) Rush or flank an objective with uplinks (better performed by a Logi in a LAV or DS) 2) Run around and pop hostile uplinks (better performed by those who can survive 0.5 seconds of Duvolle AR fire) 3) Camp atop a tower with AV (better performed by Forge Gunners) 4) Run around and scan combat zones (better performed by embedded Slayer Logi, who can actually fight) 5) Snipe (better performed by those with more high slots) The Scout won't be balanced until we can fulfill a meaningful role in PC. Until we are afforded such a role, I'm personally boycotting PC. - Shotty I wish I could boycott PC but I'd feel damn awful about not helping my blood. Not only that it's the only think keeping me isk stabilized. Pc is not that bad for a scout. I have some pics of pretty good scores in pc vs hard opponents. It just depends on how good the shotgun hit detection is at the time :/ I miss those summer days of you, me, and Obi on the same field. a Gallente Scout, a Sniper Scout, and a Minmatar Scout, 3 people to defend 2 points. lol. I love being a Scout is PC. I've done a few hundred battles with the sniper rifle (lol I love how that isn't an exaggeration). The only person I've seen out-perform me was Alldin Kan, when I've been using an objectively less effective suit. But I think i'm still under 100 for the battles I've been in, using the shotgun. As long as there is low amounts of Lag- which has bee getting worse again- that shotgun is devastating in the cities. But a lot of the time I'm in the back holding onto the close point.

When someone takes 2 head-shots from a Kaalakiota Tactical Sniper Rifle and gets to cover before you get your third shot off it is very disheartening
Cass Caul Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 135	Posted - 2013.10.01 14:09:00 - [19] - Quote wow, I actually ran into a group of people using the focused active scanner. I thought those things had a cooldown, but just kept flashing on my screen over and over again that i was scanned every 5 seconds. Last night I went from killing people from behind to getting dropped like a fly when that switch from quantum to focused happened. I also wish there was some way I could counter mass driver spam.
Cass Caul Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 135	Posted - 2013.10.02 15:19:00 - [20] - Quote Before the last patch everyone knew where I was regardless of scanners or my scan profile. Now they only sometimes know where I am. No one is going to sacrifice all their low slots to dampeners. OZAWROW needs to stop whining about this. The ISK value, the fitting requirements, and the duration are their to balance against seeing scouts. Active Scanners are working as intended.

Because I came across him these last few times and he was a Caldari Medium + SMG, a polar change from Shotgun Minmatar + Pistols.

I've got a Medium C/1-Series that I use a lot to test new weapons. And a Logistics Ck.0. and the Covenant BPO and both Dragonfly BPOs. If my Scoutly-ness was called into question every time I ran a match in those other suits, this thread would mostly become debate over who is a scout and who isn't.

I haven't had any blue-shield or 0-damage shots so far, but a lot seems to only do partial damage... like 6 shots at 10m to kill a 500HP suit Might just be lag though. That seems to be getting worse.

Cass Caul Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 139	Posted - 2013.10.10 17:01:00 - [28] - Quote hihihihihi. Planing out tactics for a hypothetical Scout squad on a 6v6 Dom. Probably won't be playing on any of the old maps. Which is going to be dreadful for Scouts. All the null cannon consoles are over 300m away from the starting spawn points. That gives the best advantage to anyone with Systems Hacking V, Kinetic Catalyzation V, Cardiac Regulation 5, and a Gallente Logistics Suit. (so maybe I should save up SP for the whole month just to get a few 'Neo' Gallente Logistics suits?) Spent way too many pub-match Dominations on Spine Crescent to watch DJINN Phoenix outrun my Scout in his Logistics suit. The newer maps are even worse as far as distance traveled. Logis will win that endurance race. But, if it is on an old map it is very advantageous to us. Save for Manus Peak, which is just horrible. Those of us that have the SP for versitality in multiple prototype light weapons and multiple prototype suits would be best. While watching out for Duvolle/Balac's AR and Mass Driver spam would be a tactical priority. Saddly, I have not played with Ghost Kaisar and don't know your strengths and weaknesses. I do know mine and the 3 people I hope to get on board. 2 have already posted "maybe" here :)

Who remembers the original Ambush spawn mechanic? 100% predictable. Who remembers the second spawn mechanic? Throw down a single uplink and until an orbital wipes out the whole team you spawn in the same place till you're cloned out (Admittedly this is how I got that 20 person orbital). Oh, remember Skim Junction? With Biomass or Communications whoever hacked the CRU first lost. Remember the "bug" where you could be revived like 100 times in a row? Even now, having an ally with a needle is more detrimental that people AFK in the warbarge. lol KDR is a worthless stat. When you realize that it is faster to hit "start" and go to "commit suicide" is a faster way to traverse the map than a vehicle or running, your KDR drops fast. W/L ratio is another bad one. It may just be a good indicator of who AFK farms (lol GJ AFK solution, you've kicked me twice while sniping and twice while in the orbital screen, but you haven't done **** to stop me from AFK farming) Thought the +ö stats are welcomed, Shotty, it is not very helpful in determining skill level.

It can be useful to try and see that medium suit that spec'd into Dampening and had a single dampener, if any. But with without range amplifiers, there really isn't a point anyway. you won't know they're there until they're 10-15m away (for Minmatar). Which is kind of negligible.

Honestly you shouldn't even need precision enhances. Most suits will have a large enough profile to passive scan anyway. Was hoping to use it with knives but you just can't survive long enough to kill anything. No speed, no tank, no stamina....=dead scout. I really like it on my gk.0, I use 2 or 3 which brings my range to 33 and 44 respectively. Those are some good distances for Biomass Outpost and Communications Outpost.

If you're interested in a sniper's road map, and you have a proto-suit, get Sniper Rifle Proficiency III then work on Weapons Upgrades V. Then go for Profile Dampening III. Then work on Armor Plates and Armor Repairer. Make sure to get your core skills up there as well. Your go-to sniper fittings should be Scout mk.0, 3 complex damage modules, Ishukone Sniper Rifle (Charge is good for Ambush or Domination) any sidearm that isn't nova knives, K2 Nanohive, a complex armor plate and complex armor repair. ~370hp total. If you know people are gunning for you, swap out some of the damage mods for shield extenders. You can also put a basic profile dampener and a cardiac regulator in your low slots if you want to have fun sniping from the enemy's red-line

The fourth guy takes action as I get a headshot on him with my last bullet. He only had a sliver of health left, so I hit [R2] to finish the job. Only! that's right, another bug where you have the change-weapon animation, but it didn't actually change to my sidearm. So I died, because not 1 but 2 bugs working in tandem.

One thing I have noticed though with the shotgun is you have to WAIT, a few seconds before engaging the shot, I know scouts like too spam shots but pause in between shots sometimes to line it up. It definitely helps a bit. BTW: Perfect weapon for taking your time with shots, the Breach Shotgun. Agree 100%. Ran a KR-17 for 4-5 days. Observed substantially better hit detection. Assuming no latency issues, I hit 9/10 shots with the Breach. Switched back to CRG yesterday (after a laggy match). Found pausing between shots to improve accuracy. Missed frequently when firing as fast as possible. The problem is when it is the initial shot that doesn't do damage. I also can't see how the breach would have a modicum of usefulness when engaging more than a single target. 1.2 seconds to reload each round? lol that's the time it takes a Duvolle AR to run through my 525HP suit

Standard design philosophy is they have more speed but less eHP. The Gallente have the most CPU and are tight on PG while the Caldari are tight on CPU but have plenty of PG to spare. Minmatar are middle of the road, so less CPU than Gallente and less PG than Caldari. That just doesn't make for a good suit in this game where HP is key.

The greatest asset of this grenade is the 9 meter explosion radius which basically all but guarantees your going to damage your target. Also you can throw it farther than the other grenades. It excels at surprising a target who is around a corner or even over a wall if you know the trajectory well enough. I've got a friend hat swears by the Sleeks. But he has the whole squad run them.

Cass Caul 269	Posted - 2013.11.09 19:58:00 - [82] - Quote So last night I handed my account over to Roner General, because he said he was bored since he capped out. He took Appia for a spin and first commented, "Your account is op." I think he might have been testing out some of my build, my one with a complex range amp because he said, "It's like you're a walking proto scanner." He commented on his game, like 48/3 and 47/1. He upped my KDR by 0.1 :) I hopped on my Amarr Assault alt (A-1, all STD gear, 700K when I started 800k when I logged off), and squad-ed up with Appia. shiiit, is that what it's like for Assaults and Logistics people to see a scout run around? I learned three things then, 1) Scouts are awesome, 2) Squads are OP, 3) I'm awesome. Only Appia and 1 other were doing better than me in the 4-6 person squad lol A strange contrast, Marauder only does Ambush and Roner avoids it like the plague. It eventually because 2:30am so I said "eep! time for bed." and went to sleep shortly after. 6 hours later I wake up, check out my web-comic and web-serials that update on Saturdays then decided to play some Mass Effect. (I just picked it up, the trilogy, new for $20) But, I couldn't log in. Because Roner was on my account. So I hoped on to Gallente Assault alt. I saw Roner was online using Roner General, so I thought he was done. . . Apparently I booted him when I tried to auto-log in earlier. Still had 77K left to go before capping out. I wanted to check out what he did so I came online as Appia again. That's when I saw the change in KDR. about 80 deaths over 8 hours of play. Then I see he made 4 fittings. 1 was just taking my Blood Raiders Saga and putting a MLT Scanner on it. The one he made and favorite'd is called "GOD" Duvolle Specialist, Viziam Scrambler pistol. 3 complex plates 1 basic plate and a Complex damage mod. The suit is beastly in the city maps. Wish I had tried this like a month ago. The next is called "1a" and is just trading the shotgun for a Carthum Assault Scrambler and a complex precision enhacer. Perfect for outside maps. The last was "1b" 2 Complex reactive plates, 1 enhanced armor repair, 1 complex plate. Those suits are awesome. I'm moving to my Gallente Logistics for my sniper rifle (1k armor 300-ish shields, or 900armor and 3 damage mods) But I love the fits he was using. Thanks Roner. I no longer want to go Assault as long as I have a Logi in my squad :D Also I raised my own KDR by 0.05 with those fits.

Squad synergy is huge ... deceptively so when proto stomping. 3) You'd be more awesome if you were sticking with Scout :-) Personal Thoughts on Brick-Tanking: You do it, I do it, Roner and Marauder REALLY do it, but its a band-aid and we all know it. Our innate advantages are Stealth and Mobility. In theory, a Scout would do well to maximize his strengths. But it doesn't work. That's a problem, in my book ... --- Terrible Odds: Fast/Steathy Scout --- gk.0 (damps + LRS + kincat ... 250 Armor* HP, 8-10 m/s sprint) flanks 600-1,000 HP Duvolle AR / MedFrame.* --- Fair Odds: Hybrid Scout --- gk.0 (plates + kincat ... 500 Armor* HP, 7-8 m/s sprint) flanks 600-1,000 HP Duvolle / MedFrame.* --- Best Odds: Assault Lite --- gk.0 (pure plates ... 700 Armor* HP, 6-7 m/s sprint) flanks 600-1,000 HP Duvolle / MedFrame.* 1) With. Aim assist, Armor plate buff, & heavy HP buff have hurt our shotguns that only do 90% damage to armor. Needs more durability to get that extra shot off. 2) clarifying* I had basic gear, my squadmates had proto gear, the enemy had proto gear, my team mates had proto gear 3) I am, just not for sniping anymore. I have a suit that can survive a head-shot from a Cal Logi with 5 damage mods and a Thale's. . . I don't have to worry about being counter sniped by Thale's anymore! I've got more HP than those kids in Dren/Templar Sentinel suits trying to snipe, more reps then them, more damage mods, and 4 more equipment slots. Or I can Run 3 complex Plates and 2 Complex dampeners to have the same Armor (actually a little more) than my sniper scout with the same HP reps. And I get 3 more equipment slots and 2 more high slots for damage mods. The one thing about brick tanking is that you do still have that inate speed over other similarly tanked Medium Frames. and droping 60HP to be invisible to proto-scanners is also viable. So you're stealthier and faster than the other guy. There are also so, so many people out there that have become dependant on Scanners. If they don't see you glowing/flashing red on their scanner they assume you're an ally. So you flank them and get the surprise attack to level the playing field. Then it becomes a 1v1 about who has the better gun-game. Or you just flank them entirely and take an easy kill. So my brick Scout is faster, more durable, stealthier, and with more or equal stamina to Caldari and Amarr Assaults and about the same speed as the Minmatar Assault. While the Gallente Assault will have a we bit more killing power or shields than me but significantly slower. Though Minmatar suits are the worst in the game. Outside of Annie Oakley II and Calamity Jane II running the Logi mk.0 and xVx in the Scout mk.0 I haven't really seen a good fit for them. But the twins haven't been on in months and Lightning doesn't do PC so I can't judge their fits on the competitive level. Pretty sure those people are just silly outliers. And Minmatar Assault is a joke. I continuously go up against guys in those suits and mop the floor with them in my dragonfly. And that isn't about skill, a few of them were better than me for sure but are just crippled by their suit choice. More testing shall be done with my 640 armor with a basic dampener. +Éß¦ëddGêÇ -çou -Äll+É-çoGö¦

Cass Caul 276	Posted - 2013.11.10 16:49:00 - [85] - Quote @Grave. Honestly though, Minmatar Scouts are not suited for CQC. They're good for being the invisible glass cannon sniper (3 complex damage mods, 1 basic profile dampener, probably a CPU upgrade). They are more suited for long-range combat. Get the Tactical AR or Scrambler Rifle However, the lower base stats of the Minmatar suits do not do well with the current build, Uprising 1.0-1.6. Even at longer ranges you want to be a brick tank, 389 is the max shield on the Minmatar with Shield Upgrades V and Shield Extenders V Besides the knives not always hitting, without being able to sprint while having the knives charged they just aren't all that useful. Yes, some people can excel with them, but people can be devastating with a Plasma Cannon too. Just because a small fraction within a fraction of players are good with something does not mean it is useful. It usually means that those players would become even better if they used a different weapon. Stick to the Boundless SMG for long range fire (until the Caldari SMG is released). It's slower rate of fire makes it ill suited for CQC but because it has a higher base damage, it means it loses less power when you go past the optimal range. Or use the Scrambler Pistols as a Sidearm, the KLO-1 has the best range. +Éß¦ëddGêÇ -çou -Äll+É-çoGö¦

Not at all, it is just showing how inferior the Minmatar are. The Amarr are the best dual tankers in the game so they really have the best options. Amarr also have the most CPU/PG out of all the races. At ADV level, outperforming a scout isn't all that impressive. You have 80base HP higher than the Gallente Scout and 90 higher than the Minmatar. 7.42 base sprint speed against 7.63 (Gallente) and 7.91 (Minmatar) . You really aren't much slower. Also you are Amarr so you have more stamina than the other Assault suits, which makes you equal to a Scout. It really just shows how there isn't enough difference in base stats between Light and Medium frames. Assault ak.0 though is even better than the Minmatar scout because of the extra slot it has. As far as poeple running faction warfare, the topic came up way back in early open beta if they'd give LP things. I said then that I'd be doing a lot more Caldari FW, because of the Rail Gun. That sniper rifle, now a rail rifle, I hope the railgun SMG comes out soon too. And Gallente for suits, and because I like Gallente.

Granted, I've been playing FPS's for nearly 20 years so it's hard to break the habit. Also weird to me when other snipers run on low sensitivity, I don't get how that helps.

My good old trusted exile will be collecting dust from now on, I know where all my SP will be put in the next few months. My only concern is that it feels overpowered and might be nerfed just as I skill into the proto scramblers. For the moment I have only skilled into level 1 scrambler rifles. Now I understand why I keep getting killed by scrambler rifles. This is not a QQ about the scrambler rifle. It is the perfect match for my scout and how I play, going solo and avoid up front confrontations. The scrambler pistol is perfect in the up close encounters after first hitting the charge rifle shotgun. Any other scouts using the scrambler rifle, are you using the assault variant? Is it worth using the advanced version compared to the standard? When the new maps came out, I immediately got proto scrambler rifle, using the charge shot to replace my sniper rifle. The single shot is really good for the high end of "mid" range combat.

You aren't hiding from the Installation's perfect scanner, you are hiding from players' Active Scanners. You wait till someone scans, drop uplinks, and then rush the point. Because people are so heavily reliant on those active scanners, they usually aren't close enough to stop a hack in under 4 seconds. Then while they try to counter-hack, your team comes in on your uplinks. You don't want to throw down uplinks then get scanned, because people start getting paranoid and looking for a dampened suit or they just destroy your links This is PC level team tactics. You won't see that happening in pubs. Stealth be damned! I can just walk up to point in pub matches, hack it in 8 seconds and defend it solo for the rest of the match. * The rounding of values in this game are... unclear.

Like, I go toe-to-toe with someone of the more respected Assaults/SlayerLogis of the PC world and come out on top. I have notoriety for being a Sniper in PC, but I also have bragging rights that I do it better than other people while in a Scout suit. Damn, if I had known how truly easy EZ-mode was I would have made the switch long ago. But every time I'm using a medium frame, my heart aches to be in a Scout suit. The Scout suit is awesome. It needs better Scanning Values. Active Scanners should pale in comparison to a Gallente Scout's Passive Scanning abilities. While Simply by being a Scout, the Minmatar Scout should be equal. A proto scout should have the base stats of a proto scanner. We need the speed to get out of fire. moving 1m/s faster than a medium suit makes very little difference in the 0.3 seconds it takes to gun down a scout. We need the damage output that only comes from people stacking damage mods. Stealth is meaningless if you can't put someone down before they can turn 180-¦ and shoot you. This applies to all Light Weapons, not just the Shotgun. The original Archetype Scout was the Arbiter. That build is worthless now. Sniper Rifles don't do enough damage and with the size of the maps now, no one is going to be within scanning range for the "stealth" to be meaningful. So Sniping relies on Armor plates and damage mods. Scouts get 1 or the other. The Hunter Scout: The role seems like a good idea, until you realize flanking doesn't work because you start shooting someone and it takes a full clip to kill them while they only need 10 bullets to kill you. While there are so many spots for uplinks that are simply impossible to destroy. The Infiltrator Scout: Made useless by Installations have 0dB scanners that are somewhere in the range of 20 to 50 meters. Active Scanners being unbeatable makes it all the worse. The CQC Scout. Same with Hunter, as the difference between the two is engagement range. Needs more raw damage output and the ability to avoid damage. also lol KNs. STILL! I love the Scout. I will continue to play it as long as I play this game!

Having the same number as the scout, you really feel sluggish without much gain. You also are detected by ADV scanners.

The only map I really don't like is ambush on the new one with the bridge (objective A is on that bridge in skirmish mode). It's a really tight ambush map, with pretty much all the action crammed together in that narrow bridge. Precious few flanking opportunities, except for running under the bridge to the other end. By the time I get there, the enemy's position has usually shifted so much that my flanking efforts are fruitless. I get absolutely slaughtered 9/10 times on that map. Other than that, I guess my most common main weapon, the scrambler rifle, allows me to make good use of the terrain and buildings in most maps. Although I definitely prefer proper city maps after I've started running more with SMGs and NKs. I am okay with the bridge map. While flanking takes time, no one ever expects it. The maps I dislike are Manus Peak and Line Harvest. Manus has too few objectives to properly divide the enemies attention which makes sneaking to null canon an incredible pain. If I see I'm about to play on Manus, I use a sniper fit and head to the mountains. Line Harvest can provide some good fun and there are plenty of methods to flank but the objectives are too close and the towers offer too good of a view for snipers and forge gunners. In other words, Line Harvest can offer some fun games but more often leads to the worst stomps. The Maps: Line Harvest, Manus Peak, Ashland, Skim Junction, Iron Delta, Spine Crescent, Fractured Road, Border Gulch and Impact Ridge Line Harvest is one of my favorite: it is small, has many places for cover, has lots of elevated areas to consider 3-D movement without a drop ship and has places for DS movement. Ambush or Skirmish I can use my shotgun, sniper rifle, or Scrambler Rifle to full effect. Ashland: My Chromosome favorite for ambush. The many changes in Uprising have taken away the ambush-sniper role (December to April I was exclusively a scout-sniper before I ever picked up a second Light Weapon or second suit). And the change in Ambush vs OMS has made shotguns less effective on that map. Still I like it and enjoy playing on it, skirmish is still fun. The 3-D playing field without the need of a Dropship exists here too. Manus Peak: Love this map. Ambush or Skirmish. Plenty of places to sniper from, and there is enough cover to run around on the map with a shotgun. I really wish they would bring back the Peak in Manus Peak. I've had some epic battles up there. This was the map that taught me to use REs as a Sniper's sidearm. Manus Peak is the only map I feel I can still be effective on in a speed suit. Skim Junction. The original City Map. For the longest time I thought this was 3 different maps. Ambush, as long as it is in the city I like it. So I'll leave room to mention the outposts individually later. I hate the outside. The redline/starting point are just too far back. It invalidates my sprint suit that I use to run to an objective first. And Ambush outside is awful. too much open ground without cover. Iron Delta. There is just too much open ground between the outpost and the outside points. Made worse by the bottleneck you are forced through to get to them. Expanding the map to be a square rather than a plus sign shape would greatly improve how much I like this map. Spine Crescent. the first of 2 bridge maps. btw, both bridge maps have [A] on the bridges. Hate it. I hate it so much. The outpost on this map needs to be about 100m closer to the birdge. It's too big and there is no cover between the outpost and the outside objectives. Then, all of the objectives are on the outside while the birdge has high walls surrounding it, and bars atop it. On the other hand, the original surface infrastructure made it possible to be a sniper on this map. new SI make it bad. Fractured Road: This is the map that made me give up my shotgun, my sniper rifle, and my scout suit. THIS MAP. It is too big. It is 1400m from one red line to another. The infrastructures where the points are at are fine, but the distance between them is twice as long as it should be. Then, there is a hill that leaves you wide-open to AR/ScR/LR fire. There is no effective place to snipe. Though a Forge Gun can cover [A] and [D] from the pipeline and a sniper can cover [D] from the pipeline. every battle vehicle quota is reached because it is too far from 1 point to another. Boarder Gulch: The new bridge map. Ambush has 2 section. I hate them both. Skirmish is a load of crap as well. Again as with FR, the map is too big and will have vehicle quota reached nearly all the time. This distance from staring spawnt to the first point is too far. I can camp a point with a shotgun, but I can't freely move around the map without finding some large area with 0 cover. But that open area is only subject to AR/ScR/LR fire. There is no place to effectively snipe on this map either. Impact Ridge. The 4 point Gallente Research Facility. Hey look, another map that is too big. Again, vehicles are a necessity here if you want to move from one objective to the next. Despite the lag-tastic city I do like that. But the same with the other 2, large open spaces that are subject to AR/ScR/LR fire and no effective places for a sniper to go. Outposts; Biomass: This one is my favorite, hands down. I can sniper here, I can shotgun here, I can play a Scout effectively. Downside is that the objective used for Domination can be camped from a large variety of locations. 2 levels of the center building and one of the resource extraction towers.

Cass Caul 447	Posted - 2013.12.06 18:14:00 - [160] - Quote Orbital Artillery: Hate this one. I hate this outpost almost as much as I hate Domination in its entirety. combat happens on a completely 2-D level, which it is for all installations, but there are elevation changes giving a mass driver in this map total domination. Communications: This is my favorite of the installations. If they ever fixed Z-Fighting/culling/rendering issues this map would return to being the awesome sniper map. As it stands, on ambush or skirmish running around with a shotgun is a blast. Stealth is so fun. lots of cover, and secretly there is room for 3-D movements as most of the walls can be climbed upon by a scout and even medium frames in some locations. Gal-laG Facility. Yeah, lag and frame-rate drop here is spectacular in the worst of ways. There are some problems with a lot of areas, and there is no where to snipe. 3 point version, so this outpost on Skim Junction is the best. No sniping but excellent use of a shotgun and stealth suits. If we could get that change to remove 0dB installation scanning this would be a shotgun scout's paradise. I also have fun with my Imperial ScR. Only complaint about Ambush here is my complaint with ambush everywhere: spawning mechanics are horrible. All of these maps and installations, I only play on Skirmish (pub skirm, FW, PC) or Ambush. I hate Domination. I will leave battle and leave squad if I ever see a domination match pop up. Very few exceptions exist where I will stay for a domination match, but if i do stay, I'm MCC camping. +Éß¦ëddGêÇ -çou -Äll+É-çoGö¦ A girl, on the internet?! I roll to disbelieve.

I really need to squad up from the Scouts United channel more often. But there aren't that many people that run squads. And being in 4 major corporations I've made a lot of friends that I want to squad up with because "I haven't seen you in a month" is a common occurrence. I could start a squad, but I get squad invites before I finish loading in nine times out of ten Another problem with finding new people to squad with is, the moment I hear people using sexist and/or homophbic slurs constantly I'm usually leaving that squad pretty fast. Which really limits the number of people I play with in this game. Hearing someone's music in the background through their mics gives me a headache and pisses me off pretty bad- that may or may not have something to do with the induced headache.

The only players who cheerlead them are FOTM followers. Good riddance... I'm just disgusted. trying to come back and support this game is like licking cooties. yuck. Do other games have such easy ways to communicate with fellow players? I've not played a AAA shooter since Autumn of 2000. N64's Golden Eye, Half-Life multiplayer, Counter Strike 0.2-0.9. Team Fortress Classic, Day of Defeat were what I was accustomed to. I didn't pick up another game until 2007 when I picked up the Orange Box for Team Fortress 2. My multiplayer PS3 collection is limited to Starhawk (3rd Person Shooter), FF XIV (RPG), and White Knight Chronicles I&II (RPG). In Beta you needed a UVT to speak in other channel, but since May anyone can use voice chat anywhere. Chat channels can be easily created, by anyone, and anyone can join them- so long as they are not password protected. Inviting someone to a channel is very simple as well. The only game that has come close in chat channels is FF XIV, but you can only join a chat channel in that game if the creator invites you and the game doesn't have in-game voice chat at all. Or how about messaging/PM'ing people. Anyone can send a mail to anyone, so long as they know the name. FFXIV came the closest to this in its mail service, but you had to add someone to your buddy list and they have to confirm it. Everything else always needed to know someone's PSN and usually being someone's PSN friend list. I definately hit the jackpot when I first logged in. My third game ever, I was sniping in an Arbiter Suit and came out in 3rd place. So I got a message from one of the people on the other team that I killed a bunch of times asked me to join his corp. BAM! Appia joins her first of four corps, this one being ranked number #6 at the time. Meeting people in the corp so fast that I got along with helped. I would run into the same people every match from other top 10 corps- lol Closed beta and early open beta I got invites to join corps like every day. You message people that you see a lot, or gloat about killing them every match, and get invited to a corp's public channel. Meet more people, actually talk to people you would never know played this game. I mean, I talk to someone I met on this game more often than I talk to a lot of my friends from college. I just have had too many good experiences, socially, on this game. This one aspect of lets me completely accept or deal with the large amounts of problems with this game.

Question 1) As a Scout, what combat / support functions do you currently perform most often? Question 2) In performing those functions, which equipment type currently serves you best? Question 3) If said equipment were replaced by cloak, could you perform that function? The MedFrames cried "unfair" when we asked that cloak be "built-in" to our suits; so we've asked for a second equipment slot. Let's cross our fingers and hope that someone was listening. Otherwise, we will only trade one form of ineffective for another. TL;DR - Scouts will need two equipment slots if Cloak is released as Equipment. Missed this question the other day. 1) Combat and infiltration about equally 2) Infiltration I usually have Allotek Flux Drop Uplink though 4 copies of the infilitrator suit with all proto uplinks. Combat has me running a compact nanohive, but this Fed CreoDron specialist shotty has me running Wyirkomi Triage repair nanohives instead 3) Depends. Not as well, unless while cloaked the objective letter did not flash and give away the fact I am hacking- motherfucking forge guns. Combat is a probably, but it depends on the delay from being cloaked to shooting. If you instantly shoot and that decloaks you then It would greatly improve performance, if there is a delay before you can shoot then it will be pretty much the same. Also, the discription by CCP Remnant to Knight Soiare's question implies it is going to be High (most likely) or Low slot module. Scout Registry wrote: @ Appia Please correct me where I'm wrong. I'm used the basic Plasma Cannon on a DragonFly Scout. Direct impact damage is slightly greater than 1k. Pretty sure I hit this guy in the right spot twice. By my math, successful take-down would've required 7-9 shots. How are you doing it differently? Am I shooting him in the wrong place? I'm using the KLA-1 Plasma Cannon on a Dragonfly Assault- as I need the HP to survive the ridiculously long time from firing a shot till I pull out my Toxin SMG Well, 3 of my tank kills have been 1v1 rail gun tanks. They lack the turret turn sped to get a shot off when you run around them. I don't actually shoot the "sweet spot" either. I just fire at them, making sure each shot hits. Then I just take my time and unload the whole ammo thing at them. Most tankers are the dedicated tankers from before. They are people that have recently invested in them so they think they are invincible. Or they are new guys that don't know to keep better track of HP while you are slaying infantry left and right. or maybe they just don't give a **** because their entire vehicle fitting costs less than a PRO Logistics suit Also, Shield tanks are a whole lot easier to take down. Even with the stupid long reload time and charge time, you can get enough shots off on a shield tank before their shield boosters recharge shield boosters do like 900HP versus my 1200, so 4 shots to break their shields and 2 shots to blow them up. Madrugars... yeah, I'm just trying to get them to run away but usually finish them off with the help of Lai Dai AV grenades or an installation or another tank. Harder to kill, but still a bunch of bad tankers out there that let me get the shots off without running. +Éß¦ëddGêÇ -çou -Äll+É-çoGö¦ A girl, on the internet?! I roll to disbelieve.

Also, thanks to Shotty for trying to raise awareness on scoutly issues. My main wears a scout suit 100% of the time. I played Dust briefly in beta, then came back to it this September. I foolishly thought the scout suit had some inherent stealth value (besides tiny dB differences) and, as I always like stealth play, I invested in it as my only suit (including making all profile skills level 3). Since learning firsthand of how weak the light suit is, I've been tempted to go medium; I have gone basic medium on my alts, but my main is still a pure scout wearer. That said, I never submitted my name to the registry in part because I wanted my main to be anonymous; but more importantly I don't play as a true scout. I snipe. So while technically being a scout, and being vulnerable to instant death (like two-shot tac-sniper deaths), I don't consider myself a proper scout and therefore am not worthy of being on the board. I do, however, wish to salute those who wear the light; those about to die (often). More than half my time on DUST from Closed Beta till now has been me as a Scout Sniper. . . unfortunately Uprising has been terrible cruel to the Snipers. Taking away the ability to shoot objectives, limiting rendering on objects and characters, and simply not having enough damage to take out proto suits in competitive play If I weren't participating in this war for Molden Heath's domination I would be sniping in ambush in my dragonfly scout. Sniping in a Scout suit does make you one of Scouts United as you can ether choose HP (Gallente) or damage (Minmatar) when sniping while Med Frames can have both. +Éß¦ëddGêÇ -çou -Äll+É-çoGö¦ A girl, on the internet?!

Only a paltry few games for the Federal Marines outside of them. After coming out of a PC I joined a FW match for the Gallente. I ran into a group of scouts and just got run over by you guys. I was doing what I normally do to relax after a PC and was running around like an idiot with my plasma cannon- every direct hit with that makes me giddy- and my team was actually losing. So I swap to my dragonfly Scout. I had clearly spent way too much time relying on that extra 440HP from armor plates because I was being torn to shreds. I had to switch to my Covenant AR build, and still couldn't keep up. Eventually I went full proto and the match ended with the standard Federal Marine victory but yeah, total loss on my part. Glad I'm done with PC till the 26th or so. getting back into the swing of things with my Dragonfly Scout again. It took my like 5 matches to reaccustomed myself to not having that HP, until I got a 22/2 early tonight. Probably going to spam FW tomorrow in that dragonfly scout. This build is by far the most fun I have had in a while.

The best part is, is that the speard at lvl 5 is what was standard on ALL shotguns back in Chomosome, It's why the HK4M was such an amazing weapon. 0 skill pre-reqs for a ADV shotgun. The increased spread- to accommodate the skill- made this whole tree f^cked up. Your idea is really what it should have been from the start. +Éß¦ëddGêÇ -çou -Äll+É-çoGö¦

(Definitely in FW and PC, but I think in Pubs too if they are your own REs.) - In theory if you set off your Remote Explosives with a Flux Grenade, the Flux damage should be applied first to anything close by, before the Explosive damage is applied. So, place 3 Remote Explosives on a tank, then back up and Flux it. In theory it should kill the tank, particularly if it is a shield tank. In practice I tried for three days on my Gallente Scout fit to pull this off, but I am old and slow (which is why I do better playing Heavy) so I always died or the tank left before I could get 3 REGÇÖs placed and get a Flux Grenade off. I would be interested in weather a good scout could pull this off, and whether I am right about the Flux damage being applied before the Explosive damage. Please post in my Remote Explosive Guide if you manage to pull this off. For highest damage, apply Remote Explosives to the Engine block at the back of the tank. However, this can leave you susceptible to the tank reversing over you. The second highest damage location on Caldari tanks is on the Caldari logo on the side of the treads. Tried this the other day.

There's already a bundle that comes with 2 DLC packs. Which means that 10% of the game means that we actually saw 20% of the game; the moon, Mars, and Venus being levels that were left out while lots of rooms and areas were shut off from beta access. Like, don't expect it to be the same because those level 20 areas are going to drop to like lvl 12. The areas that were named, but closed off will be the new lvl 20 ****. In the glimpse we had of the moon there were also a lot of locked off areas. So we experienced 1/5 of the game, being Old Russia. Moon, Venus, Mars are another 20% each.

I've found myself using the SMG on these speed fits with the NK's as I'm more spray and pray due to the speed hit & run tactics, and I don't need headshot alpha as much since I have the knives.

So either replacing ISK rewards or upping the loyalty rewards/reducing the loyalty cost for items. Not saying these are on the cards, just some of the things I find immersion breaking or are a barrier to good tactical play. The only changes I see in that whole slew of things would be removing shared TacNet. The rest is just minor improvements to the game that shouldn't have any affect on tactics fixing broken parts of the game doesn't change the fundamental way it is played. Faction Warfare is a forever broken system. You get to chose which side you are on. More people end up queuing up for the sides with the higher percentage of wins. FW is probably in its most balanced state right now, because it gives priority to those in squad. They'd certainly increase immersion when you aren't dealing with a problem that makes you complain about the game mechanics every other minutes, but that doesn't change the tactics on the field. @ Shotty, from updates during the beta we have seen changes to both Ambush spawn locations and Matchmaking system.

Prior to the introduction of the loyalty store, FW was quite balanced and hard fought. The fights were a league above Pubs, because the players made a conscious choice to be there and more often than not often played in organised groups, but lacked the min/max play of PC. Between the Amarr and Minmatar loyalists at least. Now it barely exists. I haven't seen a good match in Faction Warfare since they opened up the number of battles from where they were nearly impossible to get into, to the ease of getting into pub matches. That wasn't the Loyalty Store that changed who played, it was making it easy for anyone to access. If you played FW around this time last year, you'd remember how there's never be more than 6 matches available. They'd tell you how full the matches were and you would select which side to join rather than queuing up for a match. Pre-loyalty store, post-battle finder UI change is when it went downhill. Even then, if I had a squad of 6 it was always a stomp. Pub match or Faction Warfare, the way we played was always Logi & Sentinel combo, and the rest of us stay as far away from each other as possible so no-one steals our kills. I can't remember a game I lost where it wasn't from being AFK back then. By fundamental, I mean a change in game-play experience. The addition of the cloak was a fundamental change. Removed shared passive would be a fundamental change. Improved hit-detection and more stable frames-per-second would make the game more enjoyable. Like, a change in tacnet settings would make me more likely to run my Min-commando inside a city because I could flank with it. Improved hit-detection would make me more likely to run a Breach style rifle because the reduced likelihood of the blue-shield effect wouldn't make those false shots so punishing.

I think the best implementation was in the original Guildwars. Level 20 was the top and was easily obtainable through playing the story missions. After that it went to horizontal progression (gear and skill unlocks), much like you're going to see in Destiny. Their philosophy was that leveling was the introduction to the game, after max level is where the deep gameplay began. The low level cap made it easy for new players to get to a competitive level, while the gear and skill unlocks meant that you had to play a lot of different content to max out your fit, and would need multiple different fits depending on the activities you were doing (no one sword to rule them all). They also never changed the level cap or weapon cap, which is what I hope to see in Destiny as well, instead they just introduced new environments, equipment types, enemies and skills. The WoW method of indtroducing a new level cap along with new content just meant gear grinds that made all of your old equipment (and effort to gain that equipment) obsolete. When a level 62 Green out powers your level 60 Exotic, then you stop using the Exotic regardless of how much effort it took to get it. That stupid temple where you had to fight yourself. I spent most of that game listening to System of a Down's Mesmerize album and can't disconnect the two memories FF14 has a level cap then items which let you surpase it. I ******* hated their system. That whole game is a terrible, terrible grind. It was completely repetative. And the story was terrible. . . It actually wasn't that bad originally, the fucktards as SE NA just did a "cultural equivalent" type of translation and ruined it.

Either way, several hundred years ago the Traveler appeared. It was this very alien thing that magically terraformed most of the planets and some moons within the Sol System. We got a huge boost in technology and society. Turns out the Traveler was really just a coward and running away from a fight, so even though he enlighten us at first he also brought our doom. When that "thing" called "the darkness" battled the Traveler it apparently made the Sol System a beacon for space-fairing races. So the Fallen, the Hive, those sentient robots, and that fourth enemy all showed up. The Traveler is losing the fight, we lost the war for our extraterrestrial colonies and we basically lost the war on Earth. During that fall of civilization all the records we lost so we don't know any of the specifics. As the Traveler is basically sitting on his death-bed, he created the ghosts, which seek out and find human to do its bidding and protect it. But we benefit from the ghosts as we've got the power we need to fight back and reclaim Earth and lost colonies. Which is benefiting us both because the enemies are basically the tools of "the darkness" like we're tools of the Traveler. If you can't keep up, shut up. Math is easy, you're just stupid.

I am still not yet sure why I would come here and the events leading up to this voyage is still blurry, last thing I remember was walking into an inn in Alinor. Well, maybe I'll find out more later. Either way, I was messing around earlier today and I accidentally burned a chicken to death. Apparently this was the town's chicken and everyone got all up in arms about it. Not only that, but for killing this 5g chicken I've been fined 40g on top of it. At least I know there's a Thalamar embassy somewhere.

I made it to Dragonsreach and told the yarl about the dragon. He tried to entroduce me to his court wiziard. Ugh! The audacity of such a pathetic human to address me like that! "Minial tasks are more suited for you." I swear I will go back and kill that little runt one day! Unfortunately that may happen sooner than I'd like. I tried to make my way to the Embassy, but I ran into giants and mammoths. I was a bit full of myself and tried to burn a mammoth down. It did not acquiesce to my demands. It stood there, seemingly unaffected by the flames! Their masters decided to join them in chase of me. I had to run all the way up a mountain to get away! But as soon as I was clear of any danger they could pose I found myself face to face with 3 trolls. . . I was not prepared for so many creatures to just ignore my magicks. I ran away as fast as I could. This place is terrible! I just want to go home! there appear stains in the page from water* I couldn't even find the embassy. I got turned around somewhere. I'm just lucky I found some mudcrabs. Disgusting little things, but I needed something to eat. I ran across these ~~hookers~~ horkers, they seemed invincible as well but I found a way to whittle them down. Finally. Something that would burn. I felt like some sort of savage. Fitting for where I was. I wondered around, finding more horkers and killing them until I finally saw a spark of civilization. Sadly it was not the burning light of a city, but the ruins of an old town. Fortunately, this was also the place of the College.

The reasons I feel like I can be stuck within some sort of time loop is not, in fact, a distortion of physical laws, but my enhanced specialization in clairvoyancy. My previous plight of sending waves of fire at people and watching them shrug it off as if it were nothing have mostly been resolved. I've actually learned a new trick. Concentrating the flame and "throwing" it amplifies the effects, although it is more draining. I spent a few days refining it further. I must say, I thought my previous skills were impressive, and they were for combat level of someone that's never left a city, but these unrefined lands demand more power and less finesse. I hate to admit it, but it is very easy for me to lose my way without any landmarks. This vast wilderness has nothing I can use, no stores, no street signs, no towers. Some how in an attempt to head West to the Thalmor Embassy I arrived in Whiterun. From there I found a cart service. I requested a ride to Solitude. I have such terrible luck with these things here. I truly wish I knew why I was here. Things just keep getting worse and worse. The moment I stepped foot into a city loyal to the Empire there was a public execution in progress. I wanted to get a better look, but I got too close and offended someone's sensibilities. The entire town's guard decided I had committed a crime and tried to kill me! I eventually had to flee. I'm still not sure why, but I ended up doing that favor for that pompous court wizard. I thought I had gone crazy, because when I made it to the location of this 'dragon stone' I also found this orb. It started talking to me and wanted me to return it to a pedestal. Oops, I'm getting ahead of myself. On my way out of Solitude I finally found the Embassy. I sat there crying for a few minutes after I looked around and found the place locked up and seemingly abandoned. I took the time untilt he cold started getting to me before I finally stopped. That's when I encountered the shrine. A Daedric Prince was the one that had called out to me. I did her bidding, not having much choice, and cleared out her temple. I, think I am ok with this. I was even rewarded with a weapon to fend off the undead. I think it's time I make it back to an inn to sleep. There's a lot I have to think about tonight. Am I the same person I was when I got here?

At present, they do. Only their superior maneuverability and anti-infantry prowess on top of that is why people believe it should take fewer shots/volleys to kill an ADS than a Tank.

The difference is about 8% in damage, by far the best coincidence in numbers ever (8.09% to be exact ) an extra 8% isn't enough to break any of the thresholds i.e. Strike/Alpha weapons need improvements by leaps and bounds to show changes in TTK. DPS weapons are better affected by small bonuses. Shortening the interval between strikes (e.g. Shotgun Proficiency increasing RoF) is a better way to balance it than minor tweaks around 5-10% at a time because it shows a greater difference. In the case of swarms, missile speed would be my preferable way of shortening the strike intervals. Shotgun would be Rate of Fire. Plasma Cannon would be reload speed. If you can't keep up, shut up.

We've witnessed prior to Alpha the problems created by single-dampened, high-HP GalScouts; I suspect the future Amarr Scout would be capable of even greater imbalance... The current CalScout's strength at recon is checked by his lack of survivability; he cannot effectively tank while enhancing precision. After Charlie, the Amarr Scout will be capable of doing both. Adding the additional ability beat scans with one damp would create a clearly best-in-class unit. What slayer wouldn't want to run a suit with the best possible passive scans, TacNet immunity and 700+ HP? Have you seen the Hotfix Charlie Assault Numbers? because it used to be rare to find a suit that could survive 2 hits from the shotsgun.

You're just saying "you can't be a scout without a cloak." So back to my first response, the Air Breathing Mermaid problem. A Pen & Paper RPG called Changeling: The Dreaming was released. Throughout the series (it lasted for 10 years) you had the option to play as a mermaid. All throughout this the game made references to mermaids on land. Then, out of the blue, years after initial release, one supplemental book came out and all of a sudden you needed to take a Merit for you to be able to breath on land. That's what you're doing here. For years we have been Scouts. But now, all of a sudden, the Cloak and the Scout are no longer separate things because they can only be used in tandem or neither of them work. That's just stupid. It's by far worse than any of Quil's, Gav, or anyone elses bad ideas that have shown up here. @Spade you give me full invisibility and take away the Chevron and HP bar from people's heads, and give me a duration of 45 seconds+ and you can do whatever the hell you want with it. As far as I am concerned it has been an active dampener since its release. If you make the cloak's visual effect worthwhile you can mess with the dampening effects all you like. Having them give you a set value, removing it entirely, having the set value scale with meta level, that's all fine. I want EVE's Cloak, not this bastardization of every other game rolled up into a pile of crap. Math is easy, you're just stupid. The Empress of Alts

Stop thinking the cloak is there just to provide visual camo, It's much more than that. The visual cloak is just a "bonus feature" I would wear cloak if it dropped by profile to 15. Who gives a ** that it makes me blue. That's ***** stupid. You're being an idiot. You're jamming it down our throats instead of making it an option to use.

I can and do run my Gallente Logistics gk.0 in PC without using Active Scanners. I can, now at least, run my Assault ak.0, gk.0, ck.0, and mk.0 without using my racial rifle. You're taking away the scan profile, scan range, scan precision bonuses from the Scouts. "Only while cloaked" do it get those?

In either case thanks for the fits and response Basically, I think the majority of the people discussing the issue are terrible players. An increase in base HP will . . . really only spites the Alpha Strike weapons: shotguns, nova knives, mass drivers, and sniper rifles It used to be rare for a Medium Frame to survive 2 shots from a shotgun. It's a lot more common place now. 2.4 seconds to kill a medium frame using a rifle that does 400-500 DPS. Shotguns just got nerfed back to 1.6, before the hit-detection improvements. It's way too easy to get blasted once, turn around, and mow down someone trying to use a shotgun. That's partly why the PLC is my new shotgun: The shotgun is higher risk, lower reward than the Plasma Cannon. That's **** up. But anyway. This really becomes an issue of balancing the game for the lowest common denominator or anticipating that some people actually know what the ** they're doing and that these rare individuals- not even people that are great at the game, but ones that are just good- can greatly take advantage of these changes. I work on cost vs effectiveness of HP. Not in the fitting or ISK sense but in the sense of mobility. 4.5 is like the minimum movement speed you should have an a medium frame. Once you pass that threshold you lose the ability to strafe out of someone's aim assist. But for every 0.25 m/s movement speed you have essentially adds 100 hp. Or, think of it as your speed over 4.5m/s is equivalent to how much longer you can survive in a 1v1. My Minmatar Scout lasts an extra 1.1 second that i normally would survive if they got the drop on me or if i was standing still. Increased HP really won't change much for the typical player, such as yourself Cross, because it will the n become equal across the bored but for better players the change significantly makes the Logistics suits better combatant. The Assault suits still have really **** bonuses. If a single clip from a weapon can kill a target, and I'm actually good enough to hit a moving target then I don't need a sidearm. If I'm going to run inside a city I want armor tanked suits. If I'm running an armor tanked suit then most other people are also going to be doing that. This is why I want to use a Rail Rifle or Combat Rifle with my armor tank suit. I want a shield damaging weapon if I'm outside because that's where shield suits thrive.

You get an extra 18.04% from 3 damage mods or 24.3% from 2 damage mods and a Minmatar commando bonus. As an Alpha Strike Damage weapon with only 3 shots in the clip the difference in damage isn't enough to change the number of shots to kill. The Bolt Pistol has a faster rate of fire and higher damage than the Breach Scrambler Pistol. Ghost speaks of making the Bolt Pistol OP. Only really terrible aspect of it is 6 shots per clip.

At 6 shots (148 damage a shot) this gives it 888 damage a clip. This is enough to kill a target and wound another. Couple this with the lengthy reload (2.7s is a LONG time in CQC) and I think it balances quite well. That's the thing, at present it has replaced the Breach Scrambler Pistol as the game's hand cannon. It's already comparable to a Light Weapon, but the biggest issue with it is the small clip size. It's Low RoF, High Damage; missing a shot is a lot more punitive than missing one with a Breach ScP because you no longer have enough damage in the clip to finish someone off. Quote: As for the Minmando: Have you ever used the Minmando? I know it doesn't look like much on paper, but I notice a big difference in the field. I much rather prefer my Minmando over my MinAssault for AV. Even with the mobility of the Assault. On my Scout (no damage mods), my Caldari Commando (3 damage mods), or my Minmatar Commando (2 damage mods and skill bonus), I'm better off running a Rail Rifle with an extra 30% damage and swarms with 18.04% increase because I want to be off the ground and outside typical infantry engagement range. As I said before, the slight difference between 18% and 24% isn't enough to increase the number of shots to kill something. Quote: Why don't you get on Biomassed?

I haven;t earned that much SP in a single day in ages. I started out by playing some FW this morning. Bought some ADV Assault suits. I've been debating with myself, do I want to get Amarr Scout V? I really don't. It's good enough at 4. Do I want to increase my SP investment in Weapons? No, cost/effectiveness is where it should be. My main really needs an Assault suit. I had to stick true to my style. Got Gallente Assault up to 3. Bought 50x Fed Assault gk.0's. Gallente fangirl, OP armor tanking, innate repair, couldn't resist. That's the suit a PRO Cal Scout with a PRO Shotgun got the drop on me, shooting me in the back. I quickly turned around, just in time to see the second shot hit me, then I opened fire on them and killed them. 254 shields 756 armor. 1060 eHP vs Ok, so played some PC matches for my corp. Ugh. Cargo Hub, lost all three matches. Only one in my corp to go positive in all three matches. Got to roflstomp DJINN Rampage. A preternatural ability to find him and kill him. Lol, so after battle I squad'ed up with him and the guys I just fought. They pulled me into a PC, got to try it out. Ended in the 3rd position on the killboard. Forgot how much fun a PC battle could be when you have people that actually know what they're doing. Then I swapped out the rifle on the Gal-Ass for a shotgun. Lol, the stealth-shotgun doesn't work anymore. It's like what happened with the Cal-Scout every time. 2 shots, then dead. On the other hand.

But most importantly, play nice IShukone Assault Forge Gun, my personal Forge Gun of choice. IMO it can be used to great effect both on ground and up high, while having greater base damage over the Gastun's and the same charge up time I prefer it to the Officer Weapon. I do not care if it has spash damage or not. It's certainly useful to ward people off when they see blasts from above. Base damage of 1500, Prof 3, 3x complex heavy damage mods: Post damage mod base of 1690. 90% shields, 119.9% armor. Damage range of 1521 to 2026.3 damage (or 2137.6 if Prof V) Max Dual Tank on an Amarr Assault? 399 shield, 987 armor HP or 1341 EHP against 1690 damage. Ishukone Assault Forge Gun can 1-shot the most tanked out assault. It takes 2 consecutive headshots to get the same effect using a Charge Sniper Rifle, which has a similar charge up time. Only a 3x armor plate Sentinel can survive, but that also has to do with the damage resistance the suits Amarr and Gallente have. I blame her for nova knife kills on tanks

This is, in fact, the exact same thing happening again. However the difference this time is that instead of a role it is a single weapon. The people that use the item are saying the same thing: The range cannot be reduced without hindering a significant number of sniping locations, that the Forge Gun is better than the Sniper Rifle 100% of the time within 300m, and that the damage has to be capable of killing someone with a headshot. The people that don't use it are saying whatever they will reduce the number of users. They're even contradictory. And you're over here in this magical land of whatever realm your mind exists in, one that has nothing to do with reality. When will you learn: Your ideas are terrible.

(At the moment it's rare that I do that) Is that a good thing? Or is it a bad thing? I don't know. I think of it as a good thing. Counter-Sniping was some of the best times I've had. It starts by them pulling out a SR, then getting killed over and over against until they quit trying. Back then I sniped as a scout because I needed to draw their attention to me, then set up RE traps so when they tried to kill me they'd either find an empty nest of nanohives and die from REs. Or they find me sitting there with a sniper rifle trying to apporach and find themselves killed by REs. Or waiting for them to come to where I was and snipe them from a new location. It gives more value to a sniper. Not only was the sniper killing high priority targets but they have also caused someone to leave the group and divert attention away from attacking/defending points. With competent levels of situational awareness you can watch them look for you and kill red dots for a bit. The fantastic battles that happened. Epic moments where people needed to divert their attention away from the point to hunt me down. Even in early Uprising I could run around in a Scout suit, Cmp Damge Mod, Cmp Dampener, Cmp KinCat, Cmp CardReg, Bsc Armor Repairer. Snipe at [E] on Skim Junction then run around and get to [D] and take out their guys over there. That was back when I ran with Gem Cutter. The two of us tag-teamed sniped and could hold down 2 points working together. It got fun when Symbiotiforks joined us. We even did PC matches with 3 snipers. But you can't land on the Obelisks anymore, the Laser Rifle has more range, and the Rail Rifle exists. I blame her for nova knife kills on tanks

(If that's even possible) Range reduction is out. a better way is to just redraw the redline so those people can't go so far behind the spawn point or MCC. The only real issue I've ever had with Redline snipers have been on Ashland, way up in the hills behind the MCC. The second place is Line Harvest on the Attacker's side. The mountain in the back. You know the best part about those 2 spots? They didn't exist in the Chromo version of the maps. When they flattened everything they created those new locations. The spot on Line Harvest used to be this huuuuge mountain that was higher up than the peak from Manus Peak. Ashland also had the hill in the back wrap around to where people usually go to climb it making it another place that was inaccessible. The red-line spot snipers go in manus peak? You need a vehicle to do it but my Saga or Gorgon can get me in there, get a kill or two, jump back in and get out. Usually I die because I get greedy or I landed wrong or I hit a bump and my LAV rolled. But again. If a sniper could get killed in a single shot, they wouldn't all collect up there, they'd be forced to roam around so that a single counter-sniper doesn't just get a bunch of free kills. They still did this when the Sniper could kill in a single shot, but those were the games I got 60+ kills in I blame her for nova knife kills on tanks

Cass Caul 1066	Posted - 2014.09.02 18:01:00 - [541] - Quote So, my ADV Gallente Assault runs 2x enhanced shield extenders, BK-42 aCR, M209 aSMG, flux grenade, compact nanohive, 2x complex reactive plates, 2x enhanced armor plates. I've got 303.75 shields and 717.75 armor. With Symb's numbers, the 37.5% increase to damage, a scout that wants to run precision in the highs instead of damage mods, with a charge sniper rifle can hit me in the head and leave me with 56 armor HP. The thing is though, if he hit me once then I know he's there, so I'll take actions to make it a certainty that the sniper will never hit me again. So right here we already have a problem. On the other hand we have the Ishukone. A head shot with that will leave me with 366.96 armor HP. This one has a better chance of getting a body shot on me. The odds err in my favor though, because just like strafing helps you get yourself out of someone's cross hair in medium, short, or closer range combat, I make someone overcompensate for where aim assist will pull their cross-hair, Sniper Rifle's "aim friction" can be abused the same way. So the Sniper then has to hit me within 5 seconds before my armor repair gets my HP back up to where I can tank a hit. While the Tactical's first headshot drops me down to 543 armor, the second headshot kills me- which is unlikely to happen- so a headshot followed by a body shot leaves me with 234 armor HP left, and it needs a third shot to kill me. Without Damage mods and/or a Caldari Commando, the Sniper Rifle doesn't have enough power behind to to take out my ADV suit Prototype Assault? To me, movement speed is the most important feature. I've said it again and again, hoping people will learn that high movement means higher strafing, and strafing is greater than HP. So my ADV and PRO Assault suits have the same movement speed of 4.51, I've got 266.35 shields and 888.25 armor The min/max sniper running a 3x complex damage mods on a caldari commando with a charge sniper rifle can hit me in the head on my PRO suit and I walk away with 87 armor left. The min/max sniper with an Ishukone can get a headshot on me and leave me with 247 HP. It's going to be tough but the Ishukone Sniper has a possibility of killing me in the next hit, though again it's nearly impossible for me to get hit a second time because I know that they are there. A min/max thale's will kill me in a headshot with enough over-damage to terminate the clone In a realistic setting the only way I'm going to die to a sniper if I'm running proto is if it's someone using a item that can't be restocked, using 3 damage mods on a caldari commando suit. You take away that Caldari Commando bonus and my PRO Assault suit and the Thale's can kill me but I can still be revived. Just a commando, no damage mods can kill me because I only have 1 shield extender. If I swapped out a damage mod for a second shield I could survive No commando suit, no damage mods, prof 5? I'm struck in the head by a Thale's and sitting pretty with 201 HP. If you don't kill me in a headshot, you aren't going to be able to finish me off The weapon needs to be balanced without regards to damage mods, caldari commando bonus, or officer weapon. Otherwise it's still going to be useless I blame her for nova knife kills on tanks

The shotgunner has to be sufficiently fast to catch me, sufficiently dampened to beat my scans, sufficiently sneaky to avoid detection by me or my allies. When I do get OHK'd by Shotgun, I do not rage. In my mind, (1) skill and loadout requirements were met by the shotgunner and (2) the shotgunner successfully managed all risk factors and (3) I screwed up. The same thinking goes for getting OHK'd by Plasma Cannons and Nova Knives. It happens. It's often funny. There's no question that both skill and risk are involved. I can't imagine having the same mentality about a sniper placing an OHK body shot from 300+ meters, camped safely atop a spire or deep in redline. Question: I totally understand and agree that increasing the SR's punch is necessary to keep pace with HP creep. But is it not a better idea to increase the headshot multiplier only, such that there is no question as to the skill requirement of the shooter? Quote: "Whoa! Sniped in the face! Lucky shot!" vs :: I has left the battle :: Without changing the base damage several suits are still multiple magazine affairs for body shots only against a range of targets. That said though both base damage and headshot damage can be changed independently for example I could give the charge rifle a MUCH higher headshot damage if it means that it would still take 2 body shots for the more vulnerable targets. Going to crunch more numbers for the charge if that is going to be an issue for sure and probably go that route should be very doable to keep the desired headshot damage. However my initial pass stated it shouldn't been that much of a problem. I have my tank fits when needed 388 eHP 17db dragonfly gal scout 453 eHP 17db adv gal scout 527 eHP 17db proto gal scout I don't mind being a OHK when I am full ewar but when I am in my 17db TANK fittings I feel it should take more than 1 body shot tier vs tier even if it only leaves me with 1 HP.

Something something GHOST IS IN HIS CORP something something I wonder where he may have got that idea. I've been vehement about cloaks for awhile now. He might not have talked to the barbershop, but I have mentioned it to him at more than one time. So instead of saying he spoke with one regular with regard to their opinion, he extrapolated that all others would be of like mind, and then claimed that he spoke with all of us on the matter? You may want to have a kind word with him about getting ahead of himself. He is a CPM and must be held to a higher standard now. Like being a community representative and not a representative of his secluded corps' point of view. We've all discussed how the cloak is a failure. The invisibility, the actual cloaking mechanic, is terribly implemented. It has such a terrible influence on movement through open terrain. The cloak's only redeeming feature is the dampening. We all have individual outlooks on ways to change it. Sounds like he took 1 of those and said it had lots of support. I blame her for nova knife kills on tanks

Also increasing my 10hp/s Assault suit into a 11.5 hp/s That might be because you have always advocated for armor stacking scouts. maybe if you were not armor stacked you would see the difference in the survivability. That makes no sense at all. If I'm stacking armor then I'd be more empowered by this change, not less. And it's really not that much. The number of times I've gotten to 0 armor HP on my Min Scout is a lot. This helps. But I don't feel it is a necessity. So it'll only help a little bit when the armor values are very low, like on the Minmatar Scout. And a low armor repair value is good, but it doesn't help in CQC combat unless enahced with more repair bonuses. Even then it's not adding effective HP the same way an HAV's repair module adds to the total health of that because every weapon in the game has more DPS that a 5x complex armor repair Gallente Assault.

It also got me thinking, Aside from the Balac's Sniper and Balac's SMG, at Uprising 1.0 we had 8 officer weapons that could drop. I don't know if they can be salvaged, but the 12 player-flavored weapons exist. And the Sidearm Event will give us another 7. Still, I haven't gotten an officer weapon in months. I'm lucky to get an officer weapon drop (which could be 1, 2, or 3 single use items) every other month. And it's completely random. Most people are inclined to believe that having a weapon with proficiency 3 actually lowers your chance of getting that one. Don't have 20 million SP invested into weaponry? Too ***** bad. The drop rate really needs to be bumped up to something like 5%. The Officer weapons were never really worth it in PC. They were too few to use when in that game mode your average life is so short. I know they were used in the Corp and Squad cups last year, but outisde the sniper rifle's performance being so ***** terrible that the weapon was worthless in the game without the officer variant, they just weren't used for high-end battles. Having them be achievable at a reasonable occurrence might make them less pub-stomping tools and more inclined to use them in PC/FW. But, meh, whatever.

I don't think Assaults having less than Logis is at all stupid. I strongly disagree with the notion of giving Logis higher native armor reps. Logistics are not supposed to be able to take a lot of damage, and the net result will be longer surviving logistics which impacts the entire team as a whole due to longer surviving support etc. (always having repairs, revives & nanohives) Logistics have the most versatility when it comes to... everything. They can participate in EWAR, at a cost too steep compared to always-on shared passives of a Caldari Scout, but they can if they wanted to. They can engage in frontline fights, with the Assault HP buff form CHarlie they are lacking in that regard, but they can if they wanted to. Or they can run support. I don't think Logistics should have the highest rate, percentage wise of all the dropsuits because they already have so much more flexibility compared to the other suits Quote: If a Logistics wants to live longer then they need to bring armor repair nanohives or simply stay away from the frontlines. Assaults need to be able to get in and get out effectively, and if Logistics can repair faster than they can, then I foresee another rise of Slayer Logistics. Assaults might do the "slaying" job more effectively but survivability is key. If two players of equal skill get into a fight and both retreat at the same time, the first person to get repairs will eventually win out. The Assault HP buff and slot buff assured this won't happen again. Quote: And if a Logistics makes a mistake and takes enough damage to warrant NEEDING higher reps then in my opinion they should be punished by dying. If they're allowed to back up out of the fight and be full health incredibly quickly then it gives the same sort of result as not dying at all. The other team will be heavily invested in taking out the Logistics, who will be able to sustain damage and heal it up at surprisingly effective rates. While their armor naturally heals itself they can continue supporting their team without consequence. Assaults are borderline useless while they're at low health. Especially if you're something that focuses on armor tanking. This I agree with. Sentinel infestations are already such a huge obstacle to overcome, Logistics having good regeneration really magnifies the problem. The maps used in PC all cater to Sentinel+HMG in at least 1 location, per match. Sometimes more depending on which SI spawn for the outside points, and Biomass complex is just great for that weapon, also great for shotgun because of so many places to hide How everything just keeps getting more and more HP is really an issue. 1700HP Sentinels with reptools giving them 2-3 extra second of life while under sustained fire. And map advantage too keep anyone from firing upon them from outside their effective range. It'd be great if there was some sort of weapon with high alpha damage and long range that could kill, or at least weaken, such suits from afar. . . I think there might be something like that, but then the developers went out of their way to make sure that weapon couldn't be used in that exact fashion by putting in walls, rotating structures, or changing surfaces textures so that couldn't happen/ On Hiatus.

Primary thing to hid from would be dropships or someone roaming in an LAV. So the best vehicle scanner is 35 dB. Easy, already have what I need: 'Covenant' Sniper Rifle, 'Dragonfly' Scout [nSv], MLT profile dampener. The next goal is to hide from Shotty. I expect him to be carrying around the CreoDron Flux Active Scanner. That has a dB value of 28. Still easy; 'Dragonfly' Scout [nSv], (Empty High Slot), 'Covenant' Sniper Rifle, 'Toxin' ICD-9 Submachine Gun, (empty grenade), MLT Nanohive, (empty EQ slot), MLT Profile Dampener, MLT Profile Dampener, (empty low slot). Cost: 990 ISK per suit. Getting a little serious now. I'm moving about after a few kills. I'm toatally just protecting my KDR so I'll end the match with 0 ISK lost, and hopefully 4-6 kills. But even if the sniper rifle was OP, even if it only did 10 damage a hit and fired once every second, with only 7 rounds total, the hate people have for snipers is just mind-boggling. So, bringing out the big guns. A Scout A/1-Series is now running around with 2 complex precision enhancers and 3 complex range amps. It's a pretty cheap suit and gets the job done- at the expense of the Amarr Scout who only enjoys hurting snipers because of some unfathomable hate for anyone that dares to fire upon him before he shoots them first. Goal: < 18 dB Going to have to start dropping SP now, 3 mlt dampeners rounds up to 24 dB. The cheapest way to do this is going to cost 1.11 million SP, just bringing Profile Dampening to lvl 5. This is the part that ******* sucks. If stacking priority puts -25% at the top and -20% on the bottom,we could mix and match complex and enhanced dampeners for a fairly cheap build. But until/unless that is changed (when was the last time anyone checked?) it's going to take 3 complex profile dampeners to hide this suit. So: 'Dragonfly' Scout [nSv], (empty high slot), 'Covenant' Sniper Rifle, 'Toxin' ICD-9 Submachine Gun, (empty grenade), MLT Nanohive, (empty eq), Complex Profile Dampener, Complex Profile Dampener, Complex Profile Dampener. Gallente Scout Operations III + 3 Complex Profile Dampeners will get under the Gal-Logi Focused Scanner. Total Cost of just under 2 million SP. So, that's what I'm going to do If i purchase a respec.

It's hard to pick something specific as things may change after the update, but I love the idea of invisibility, capping, and cqc. I've been reading the older guides about knives and shotties for assassin type builds too. A few pages back I made a post about what skills I'd need to play a dampened scout with minimal investment. IMO if you reallocate your SP, I'd suggest going Gallente for stealth, because it's the least SP intensive scout. Dropsuit Upgrades 2 Dropsuit Core Upgrades 3 Electronics 2 Profile Dampening 5 Gallente Light Frame 3 Gallente Scout 3 Getting those skills will let you hide from anything, something I believe to be absolutely necessary. Scouts are definitely difficult class to play when you don't have much SP to spend, and this SP investment will let you hide from Gallente Logistics with Focused Scanners. It will cost you about 2 million SP for all those skills leaving you another 2 million SP to put into weaponry or putting some into cloak field The Gallente Scout does best with a Shotgun, Plasma Cannon (shooting heavies in the face from a few meters away ) and general CQC. Caldari is very much long-ranged. The low HP from shields and high scan range go well together so you can stay outside the range of enemy weapons Amarr is another CQC scout. People want you in squad because of shared passive scans, the increased precision means only other scouts will hit you from behind. The minmatar is fun. Knifing is a lot better now since they buffed the base damage on them, but the lack of low slots and low fitting capacity make it a very, very difficult suit to start up. It will also probably be the most rewarding as you increase in SP because each new skill purchase makes a noticeable difference. eh, i'd be more helpful and comprehensive on stuff but still feeling off from drinking too much last night. lol.

Cass Caul 1388	Posted - 2014.11.02 18:10:00 - [673] - Quote In the marketplace, under "featured fits" there are a few pre-made scouts. omg, it's been so long since I looked there I can't remember the name and they added one more. Anyways, those are 4 main archetypes of Scout play. There is one that runs around with a rifle called the hunter. You use long range scanning (as when the suits were released Gallente had a bonus to scan range instead of precision) to find your targets and shoot them. It emphasized flanking. There is one that runs around with a shotgun. Shotgun/Knives are all about approaching your target without being seen. Probably a good think you won't have the SP to start with a cloak, but could remain invisible to radar. There is another that runs uplinks. The basis behind it is deploying uplinks behind enemy lines while taking out enemy uplinks. When you accumulate SP and figure out whether you like medium range or close range more the hunter or the CQC scout will subsume this infiltrator role, but it is a good start because it earns War Points better than the others at low SP levels and the more War Points you earn in a match the more SP you gain at the end of it. then there was a new. I don't actually know what the fitting for it is. so i don't know the role it is supposed to fill. Anyone check the featured fits out? There's also the classic scout-sniper role. The only Long Range role for Light and Medium Frames. I love sniper rifles. It doesn't matter what game I'm playing. I've had proficiency 5 in sniper rifles since May 6th, 2013. Not a lot of advice for this one. You can pretty much run it how you like. Sniping in DUST is hard. Poor hit detection, precision aiming is difficult because you can only aim with the Right Analogue stick while in most games- or the rest of the weapons in DUST- you can use the Left Analogue to help aim. Even though I love sniping, this is really the only play-style I'll advice against. Even in 1.9 they are still ******* with a few maps to make the weapon less effective after nerfing the range. The best places to snipe from are all within 300m, which is the range on the forge gun, the forge gun out-performs the sniper rifle as an anti-infantry weapon. 100% accurate, you can do precision aiming with the left analogue, a hit anywhere on the body is a kill while the sniper is dependent on headshots, and it has better hit-detection. If you sit on a perch you can defend yourself from vehicles. The only downside is you need a team mate for nanohives Sorry, rant over... So every weapon has a Militia version right now. Try and play around with them all and see which ones you like best. Mass Driver, Assault Rifle, Combat Rifle, and Rail Rifle make good Hunters. Shotgun, Nova Knives, and Plasma Cannon make good CQC fits The flaylock pistol makes a good choice for a sidearm on the Infiltrator. You can use it to kill equipment.

I don't need a cloak on my Caldari suit either, but let's face it I was using the Cal Scout as a Light Assault anyway. The Amarr? Damn, that tota- wait, I didn't dampen my Amarr either. The poor minmatar scout. Never gonna hack a point in that suit again. Back to hacking with Gallente Scout. need to avoid amarr scout scans and see who's coming up on me. Not sure how it'll affect knifing for me. Honestly, probably won't be that much. Actually, that's a lie. it's complete bullshit. As long as there is shared passive the minmatar is screwed. The tactical use of the cloak, is to use passive to find people, cloak up, approach, decloak, then attack. If only a single Amarr Scout could see you and they were the only ones to see you disappear off radar then that would totally be a legit thing, but no. Passives are shared with all so the Min-Scout either needs to stack 3 dampeners again or have a group of 3-4 people ready for you and know where you're coming from. . . . unless it is ambush or domination. Those are kinda clusterfucks where you see people dying all the time and can get away with it. So basically, mustard and moody would be the only ones to run min-scout in PC, but moody dropped the scout a long time ago and musturd sightings are rare. But Rex, making an EQ slot worse is not going to cause people to tank more. Dampeners are still the main part of scouting. Min Scouts are the most affected and you really can't make them light assaults as you can with the others.

Even though I played through the ME Trilogy and still played DUST. Those were apparently significantly different enough that I didn't feel the need to compare them. Going from 14 to DUST and back was very easy, one was on PC the other PS3. I could even play both at the same time! (Yeah, basically I was doing a planetary conquest match or I was afk'ing during that period) Going from ME to DUST was a little more difficult. They were both shooters, but 3rd person vs 1st person. I think I'll stick to single-played JRPGs for the next year or so, because I'm pretty bored with Destiny, though I log in to do daily grind for materials. The single biggest reason that I don't give a ** about DUST anymore is the Sniper Rifle. this game. The circle reticle on the tactical is a piece of *. I keep trying to go to my favorite spots and forget that the range was nerfed on all three. "Oh my, I see some uplinks on a rooftop, and people are just standing there, mmm free WPs." Then I go for the shot only for them to be at 470m away. Do I get closer? No, I can't because getting closer means I have to descend where I then lose line of sight on the rooftop. The stupid plasma-cannon-esque reticle is terrible. Even with the lines across the screen now the dot is so small you can't even see it in mild-brigtness instead of losing it in the very bright areas as before. The circle, that must have been the idea of someone mentally deficient that's never used the weapon before, gives false positives on when you've got your target in your sights. I'll admit I've been spoiled. DUST 514 was my first console FPS, well other than borderlands but there's no PVP and AI is predictable and easy to game. I didn't know in EVERY OTHER SHOOTER EXCEPT dust, they used a constant velocity for aiming. I got a taste of what it was like to play without aim-acceleration. I see the errors of my way, and understand why people think it is absolutely the dumbest way to build a shooter when precision aiming with the left analogue is unusable. These aren't really problems I'd have to deal with if the original reticle was in place. The difficulty of looking for something so small on my screen that disappears every few meters because of the light changes, and the need for absolute certainty of my target being inside the circle instead of the edge or partially covered just because it turned red. It causes too many movements of the right stick to make sure you know where it is at, and the aim acceleration coupled with aim friction is just a pain in the ass when you mix all 3. Onto notable things that I don't care for. Item 1: the Caldari Production Facility. OMG, it really is just abother "take the rooftops" map. I played it on three different maps: Spine Crescent, Skim Junction, and Impact Ridge. Kinda silly, an ADS can go in there and in Public Contracts when you have no guaranteed dedicated AV they can wreak havoc. Of course, a much better way to do that is to take the 2 sides of the roof with uplinks and jump down onto other surfaces that are under cover from orbitals/ADSs but lack any way to get up there without coming from the roof. It's also basically a MD haven. Goodness, there are so many ramps there that completely block off your line of sight but a MD with its arc could shoot you from. The Draw-Distance is crap. Seriously, I was running around in my Min-Logi suit which is one of the slowest suits I use and I'd round a corner and the guy that was less than 10m away from me hadn't rendered yet, nor half the interior along with him. Item 2: $11USD for a BPO? No thanks. I'd be willing to pay its ISK cost in AUR for a BPO, but nothing more than that. $19USD for skill reset? I deffer to Iggy's comment on that. $9USD for 15% more ISK from selling your stuff? LOL, whoever pays that needs to be euthanized for their stupidity. CCP asking 20 bucks for a skill reset just convinced me to spend my own money on Destiny's expansion. At first I thought that Bungie asking $20USD for 1 raid, 4 strikes, 3 missions and 2 levels but the prices that CCP triest to milk from the community make Bungie's prices look like they're taking a loss on giving out so much content for that amount. conflicting numbers exist. 1+1 sony exclusive, 1+3 sony exclusives, 3+1 sony exclusive are all things good sources have said.

I mean, unless you take a look at Zatara's "I respec'd" thread and specifically go for the FotM suits (which is the accusation that someone made, not entirely true) you can't really spend your SP in a bad way. And as for the kool-aid, lol, like i'd spend real money on Bungie. That's hyperbole on my part, someone bought the game for me, they'll probably buy the expansion because "But Cass, I miss playing with you and have all this disposable income." But this "they brought in new **" is absolutely ***** bullshit. It's the crap people have been asking for since Uprising 1.1 And it's a partial experience of something we were promised to be a part of DUST since, a player market. Or buy-back itself is something that's been asked for since 1.2 Nothing new here, they came up with nothing.

I deffer to Iggy's comment on that. Going to disagree with both of you on this. $20 is more than a fair price for a respec. Flip burgers for a couple hours and you too can reallocate years of SP investment. Seriously, what is $20? And to compare that to Destiny? You guys have drunk the KoolAid. Bungie is going to take you for $20 every couple months. And for what? A new dungeon and sparklies? Its no different from World of Warcraft. Dust has to generate revenue to stay alive, and I commend CCP and CPM1 for coming up with things we'll actually enjoy spending money on Destiny isn't the only comparison. You also have to take into account opportunity cost, in which case you could go online or to Gamestop and purchase a used, entirely full game for 20 or much less. That could also mean half a tank of gas for some people, and a week or so's worth of getting back and forth to work. Its all relative. Before Dust, I'd drop $20 on a used game without blinking an eye. If it wasn't complete sh!t, I'd keep it and play it for a week or two. Rinse, repeat. Week after week. This adds up to far more than I've spent on Dust over the past couple years. And I've bought lots of goodies. I agree that $20 is relative, but to keep things in perspective, we must compare entertainment expenses with like kind (i.e. not food, gas, clothing or beer). DUST equates around 50% of the money I've spent on PS3 games. I put in a fuckton of hours into this game. it's like $1 every 22 hours of gameplay. That's basically the ratio of money-game time I feel is necessary for a game to be worth the cost. Pokemon, Disgaea, Persona, Tales of-. Those are series I will buy in a heartbeat because I know that they will have that sort of investment for me. An investment of $20, for instant gratification, is not worth it.

It just takes away the need for a cloak to get under Amarr Scout precision. The point I'm making is that giving Min damps would effectively free up a slot, which is exactly what you're complaing about in that post and others have elsewhere. I'm trying to give the Min an extra low slot, you know, so even without the knives it's worth running. And (at least according to the scanning table posted on the first page of the thread and Rattatis Charlie EWAR table) no, Min could actually get under Amarr with 2 damps instead of three with my suggestion. You're confused about the precision values here. You don't need cloak to get under Amarr scans, it was Gal Logi scans you needed the cloak for. Remember Caldari only has 2 low slots and they can get under, because they have the same dampening bonus as the Gal. If my propsal wouldn't work then Caldari would be screwed (they aren't). Amarr Precision (Maxed + 2 complex Precision) = 18 Gal logi focused = 15 <- that's the one you need the cloak for. And this would put them in the same position of Gallente of being able to avoid Gal-Logi scans without a cloak if they stack 3 Damps in the lows (13.5). Or 2 Damps and a cloak (14.1). As for marginalizing the Gal: 1: Yeah, because the gal has been so put upon, it sure is miserable for us. Somehow... I think we'll manage. 2: Cal already has it. It's not a Gal specific skill. And I don't give a ** about lore, game balance comes first, EVE is thematic inspiration, not the bible. Rattati has said he's keeping it to two bonuses per suit. So we have to trade something in order to give a reasonable buff. I'd also be all for a few extra PG/CPU here and there as well for the min, I've done enough theory building to see they're resource deprived. You could trade the hacking bonus if knives are so important, the knives was just a suggestion. But hacking is always useful and somebody should get that bonus... Amarr perhaps? You are soooo far off the mark here, Mal. Min-Scout with 2 complex dampeners is 18dB. Without the cloak they get scanned by Amarr Scouts. That's the status quo. There was a reason the words "skill bonus" is in italics and the addition of saying it's the slot layout that gives them their health. But that's fine, ignore that completely. There should be some meaning to each Scout's bonus. If 3 of the 4 have the exact same one, and that's the only way for it to be healthy then there's a huge problem. Rather than give the Minmatar a bonus to dampening, which again, trivialized the Galente SKILL BONUS with an already pointless bonus to precision that's trivial to overcome. A better way to do this would be to change the Base Scan Profile from 35 to 33 Because if you can't remember that far back, the original bonuses for the 2 scouts were Role Bonus: -5% to Scan Profile per level. The original 45dB became 33.3 dB Were the base 33 instead of 35, it would be all scouts get under Amarr Scout's 18 dB Precision with 2 damps. But that doesn't even change anything. Unless all of a sudden, people are spamming Gal-Logi with focused scanners, which they aren't, that focused scanner number isn't worth the attention. It's the Amarr Precision at 18dB, which with or without a bonus or change to dampening STILL** takes the Min-Scout 2 slots to dampen against. The only slot you'd free up is the need for a cloak, which most would still run anyway just downgrading to ARN-18... I thought those numbers and how they work out would have been obvious, I apologize for not making that obvious. Your premise of freeing up a slot on the min scout doesn't even work, because even with the bonus they aren't getting that extra slot. 2 Dampeners + cloak. You're at 17dB there. On Hiatus.

Any tips/tricks I should know? The ones I've been in so far were no more difficult than Pubs Here's a some good advice: If running on the outside points, AR is your friend. Still often, I run into cal-scouts playing on the outside and the AR is just great against them while it can also sorta, almost, kinda hold its own against armor tankers. Nova Knives are your friend. Having the alpha damage and range weapon are very useful. RE's are necessary. Learn the ways of the Venus Flytrap. People will see your RE and try and shoot it or flux it from a bit away. Line up your remotes so that they chain off each other too kill your opponent.* If you're on the inside: use Gallente Scout. 2x damps, 2xcomplex plates. forget the speed penalty, you should be in need of caution rather than strafe speed (as strafing is the only real part of movement ttrait hat matters) When experience heavy sentinel encampment, Allotek PLC is lulzy. Always expect people to see you while cloaked. Don't depend on it for visual camouflage. KDR is more important than you want to admit. Going 1:1 means you should replace yourself with someone better. Scouts kill things, be it defending a point or taking one. * Protip: if there's a supply depot nearby you can use proximities on the point to distract the enemy. Proxi doesn't stick so it's obvious to see, makes a beautiful scene when someone fluxes a point from 10/15/20m away and end up killing themselves as well as makes a good early warning system.

It's great for being a droneboat but it also makes a wonderful active (armor) tanker with that huge dron capacity, even if they nerfed it by reducing a high slot (those bastards!). Back on topic! Bandwidth seems like a direct nerf to my playstyle, which is the use of REs. Certainly if Proximinity mines were buffed to doing greater than or equal to damage of regular Remote Explosives it would make it alright, but I need 1 std proxi + 3 F/45's to take out a tank, because 5 PRO Proxi and 4 ADV proxi all in the same spot is loud as all hell and only barely does enough damage. And I had just told someone about my daisy-chain RE strategy which is negated by this change.

It has nothing to do with mathmatics and balance, I just want to protect my preffered EQ set-up on a Scout. Another part I'm undecided about is the tiered progression within a role. I really think that it would come off as "unfair" if only Logistics had a progression, but I really think that all Roles should have an equal bandwidth per number of slots.

Dust is built around the idea of having to make sacrifices in order to fulfill a particular role. I cannot be all things at all times. If I want to really shield tank, I have to sacrifice my dampening, or weapons, or equipment. That is how it should be. We need to stop trying to balance around the false notion that because I can shield tank with one fit and max dampen with another that I can do both at the same time. It is simply not true. Hell I wish I had half the fitting variety of a scout/dropsuit...... Nope. Tanks are 1 true build. Well, 2, one for Madrugars and one for Gunnlogis But Assaults are where it's at. A lot of Scout's health comes from not being shoehorned into using a single weapon (well, for a primary weapon at least) One of my favorite lessons in high-school biology, with a wonderful teacher that cultivated my love for the subject, one of the best lectures was on generalist and specialist species. The generalist, the fine-rifle using Assault, can take their skills anywhere and thrive. Rats, Raccoon, pigeons- they're everywhere because they have the skills to survive in many environments. The specialists on the other hand can really only thrive in their dedicated environment. Move them out of it and either they can't compete for resources or they simply can't sustain themselves without a particular resource . But when a generalist and a specialist compete within the specialist's environment the generalist can't compete. That's basically where we are. Maps are huge. The fine-rifle users can travel about and they remain effective in all areas of a map. The Shotgun scouts are specialists. The suit is a specialized suit, the weapon is a specialized weapon. There are few scenarios in which the scout can outperform the assault. The problem is that we've forced the generalist into that specialized area by terrible map desgin and each and every time they change "minor" features on maps they protect those locations you need to be from outside, ranged attacks so, in all, suck a big fat one because this wouldn't be nearly as bad if snipers could still shoot consoles

Number C: Vitantur Nothus wrote: @ But My Skillz, Brah Which of the following more aptly describes the state of strafing in Dust 514? A) Moving deliberately in attempt to throw an opponent's aim. B) Spraying frantically while mashing ADAD or wiggling thumb. @ But My Shields, Brah Not as frequently as before, but I still bump into heavily shielded CalScouts running Reactives or Ferros. These units -- arguably the best wigglers around -- would walk away unscathed by a strafe nerf to vanilla plates. Because of these units, I'm inclined to agree with Rattati in that shields should also be under the scope. But for the MinScout! Most are extremely squishy and entirely reliant upon their shield buffer; their lows are committed damps, kincats or codebreakers (seldom King HP). A hefty sig nerf to shield extenders would assuredly slam the MinScout, but again, the uparmored CalScout dodges the bullet. What care hath the CalScout for stealth when we need only wiggle when fired upon? What to do ... what to do. You guys have any ideas? (TPLAK) I've been playing FPS multiplayer since Half-Life 1 had multiplayer. Strafing out of someone's aim has always been a part of FPSs. It's bad enough that DUST 514 actually penalizes players that aim-down-sights because they suffer more recoil than hip-fire. Accuracy vs movement has always been the tradeoff. In DUST though, who the hell ever uses an AR or ACR or AScR in short to medium range aiming-down-sights? No one. THat's who. How many people have recorded their PC matches? dozens of person friends have from HS/TP/AE and you can watch them play with their rifles, none of them are aiming down sights in any game from 1.0 to present. The only way to deal with this hyper-accurate hip-fire is to be able to throw off someone's aim by strafing. It's a staple of FPS like I said. Only DUST is already a very slow game. Max Sprint is sluggish even on a Min-Scout with 3 kincats or Gal-Scout with 4 kincats. There is no bunny-hoping because of stamine (a good thing) but most games just cause a long air time when jumping to stop that, when DUST has issues getting over a door's threshold The thing about the Cal-Scout is, If I run a Minmatar Scout with 3 complex ferros and 3 complex shield extenders vs Cal Scout with 4 shield enhancers and 2 ferros, I've got a high strafe speed than the cal scout and yet can't "wiggle," as you like to call it, enough to cause errors in hit-detection like the cal-scout can.

People really hate that anyone can get the jump on them. The majority of players won't be satisfied unless the Gallente and Amarr need to sacrifice all 4 low slots to participate in stealth, then defend themselves by screaming "But it's only in outlier cases!" Refusing to admit that people min-max suits for maximum precision because their too ******* pathetic to actually pay attention to their surroundings. It follows the color code. Darker the brown the lower the precision/higher number of dampeners needed. 0.625 is the multiplier for the inner circle. Kept scouts at 20m base and increased Assault to 16m... honestly didn't pay attention to Sent/Mando/Logi base range. On page 6 it shows that A Gallente Scout with a 4x Complex Damps and the Ishukone Cloak is the only way to avoid an Amarr Scout with 2 complex precision enhancers. Given range amps they can invalidate stealth up to 32m by sitting in a corner. Totally protected as they don't have to worry about anyone sneaking up on their meat-shields Because, you know, the only counter to sentinel spam was REs & surprise attacks. Good job.

Might as well use a sentinel suit. . . except for the fact they don't have room for nanohives.

Why on earth would you put all the sales on one day?

They didn't even lose all their shields. WTF happened to hit detection on the HMG? That wasn't a singular instance. It happened quite a few times this... morning? last night? See post above, lost track of time.

Mine will be here this week and I'm gonna need some Scout friends. More than likely I'll use my name on here in my PS4 name. I'll be playing Destiny and Battlefield 4. (I'll get DLC passes for them in another week or so.) Maybe play some free to play games like Warframe and Blacklight Retribution. Don't be in a hurry to get the DLC for destiny, wait for it to be on sale or something. It'll take you a long time to get "Raid Ready". The time is takes to get from levels 0-20 is about the same time it takes to get from 20-23 and it grows exponentially from there. Just got level 30 after being 29 for about a month. So much of it comes down to luck in drops too. I got the helm I needed on my first Hard Mode raid, so really lucked out. Consider the DLC when you're >27 How long do you think it'll take to go from 0-20? I'll be playing 4 days out the week (Friday to Monday) 2 maybe 3 days, you'll be ~18 when you finish the campaign. Depends on how much you play. You can do it faster, when the Cosmodrome patrol option comes up (level 5 I think?) jump in, have a wander around, get lost, shoot some dudes, do some vanguard missions and bounties and get yourself up a few levels. Then when you resume the story missions you'll be a higher level and can do them on hard which will reward you more XP. Or just follow this tutorial. That works too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUML8WdpWMU&list=TLkEKWs0ropMg That video was 100% correct. Best way to do it. Actual best way to do it: Ask a friend to carry you through the missions. Take fireteam leader (Destiny's squad leader) and select the highest level missions you can do. Listen to the story, or don't, there isn't much there* or it's a forced cut scene. It'll take like 3 hours to run through it all, an hour of that will be load times and cut scenes. You'll be at least level 17 when you get through it all. Pick up the Bounty Leads from the messenger in the tower when you're done, complete them to unlock the daily bounties. Do the vangaurd bounties, turn them in: level 18/19. Do the crucible ones. lvl 19/20. Then do Crucible. Crucible gives you 1800XP per match + 60 for every kill/kill assist. Each medal is also worth XP. Rumble and Skirmish are the shortest duration. Second best way to do it (AKA the solo way): Get to level 3 Unlock the Crucible. Run Crucible matches until you unlock Bounties Do Vanguard Bounties, turn them in. Do Crucible Bounties, turn them in. Run more Cruicible. Wait till next day Do Vanguard Bounties, turn them in Do Crucible Bounties, turn them in Run Crucible until you don't want to play anymore Day 3, you're probably lvl 15. Go run missions until bored or level 20. XP Breakdown Patrol Collection ( looks like a spear) are worth 250XP and 10 Rep Patrol Survey (looks like a compass) are worth 250XP and 10 Rep Patrol Analysis (looks like your ghost) are worth 250XP and 10 Rep Patrol Kill Orders (looks like a circle with a star in it) are worth 500XP and 25 Rep Public Events are worth 500XP and 4 vanguard marks (at lvl 18+) Crucible matches are worth 1800XP each. Missions are worth 1800XP + bonus XP for the first time you complete it. Bounties are worth what is displayed. 1500, 2000, 2500, or 5000XP Enemy kills are worth 20 to 60 XP each, depending on the target * The story is crap. Like, call of duty has a better story. Call of Duty. Just let that sink in. And if you actually want to learn about the story you have to use a computer or smart phone to check out what basically amounts to "Flavor Text" and doesn't really give you an understanding of the in-game universe.

Because of buggy connection issues, and generally just not finding it as fun as the missions I don't bother with it as much. Matches can be absurdly one sided, being that you can have 6 randoms vs a full 6 man fire team. When playing solo it's really common for me to get thrown into a stomp that's half over against a team who's supers are charged. Yay. And all the people on my PSN are in the US so when I run with them it's laggy as hell. Yay. Haven't tried it out again lately though so it might have gotten better now I have some more varied weapons. I have an Auto-Rifle now that can apparently shoot through defender bubbles. I don't know, I feel like Destiny's lack of match making makes for more fun and better balanced matches than in DUST. . . granted it's a lot crappier than other shooters, but when the only Console pvp shooters I have are those two

Gal-Scout with 3 damps and a cloak. Or Amarr Scout with 4 complex dampeners and a cloak.

I'm having a hard time to contain my rage. This **** ain't funny. At all. I'm working on a proposal, but this is gonna take a while. You got it all wrong. Cal-Logi as a walking scanner is way better. 5 complex precision enhancers, all in the highs is 16.4237625, rounded down to 16 dB. 4 Complex Range Amps 43m. Still takes the role of hiding in a corner but with more range than a Scout. It even forced the Min-Scout to use 3 complex damps and the cloak to get within those 43m of it. Still, doesn't beat the Amarr Scout with unbeatable precision values. If 1.8-base taught us anything it is that: Yes, people are willing to sacrifice their gameplay to provide nearly unbeatable scans. Only difference is that it stops being "nearly" and becomes "actual."

That being said, that comment is on the borderline, if not crossing. Ah yes, who else would inform you of the actual numbers for EWAR when a player min-maxes. Who else could possibly point out that the breach SMG has the highest DPS of the sidearms but still costs more to fit than a Combat Rifle. Who else would hope the Sniper Rifle would become a meaningful parts of the game yet see their favorite weapon nerfed because a Dev would rather stick to that Dev's opinions and ignore the player with more sniper rifle kills than anyone else in the game. How was that Charge Sniper Rifle treating people? I know my friend refuses to play because it lost 200m and 2 bullets per clip. Who was it that asked "How far away do you actually kill people with the sniper rifle from?" Got a response of "over 400m, often over 500m" and decided 350m was a good range?. No, no. It's alright. I think it is much better to agree with someone that never participated in a Corp Battle or a PC match Or a player that has less experience actually playing the game than even our newest regulars. Or a player that gets upset when directly quoted and calls it misquote and finding every way to defend themselves again people that are clearly just antagonizing him.

Then I guess my greatest accomplishment was the 1.7 scout buff; that was absolutely a terrible idea and should never have happened. And what part of that, exactly, was your idea? You just happened to do something entirely different from what you did with your work on Sniper Rifles and pushed for the opinion of the people that actually used the suit over your own opinion. Good job on that, by the way. I really don't think I can compliment this group enough for having a much more influential role than the last one. Because all I see is another person with a CPM tag rewriting the past despite quotable posts saying otherwise.
Cass Caul 1777	Posted - 2014.12.01 12:35:00 - [818] - Quote @Jace. The 1.7 buff was increased base range from 10m to 16m, nova knife + shotgun hit detection + and god-damned Moody with his Combat Rifle. You're talking about 1.8, maybe IWS was too, but the Gallente Scout gained a high slot but lost a low slot. Roves/Packs/Droves/Murder/Gaggle or whatever you call a group of scouts has always been effective. What it is, is map design. Scouts specialize in Close Quarters Combat. All Skirmish Points are small areas. That's what most of this is about. "OMG that scout with a rifle is so OP in Ambush, would be an indication that the role is OP. I don't see that. I don't see that in everyones' post. The Scout outpreforms the generalist role in a specialized area, somewhere it should succeed. If we make the Rifle-using-assault competitive with a shotgun-weilding-scout in CQC then we're back to 1.7 where an AR was a better choice than a shotgun.
