Today, I actually tried to survive, and just couldn't. Knifing is way too difficult to try and main on a Minja. If I dampen, I am super low HP and die really quickly. Even if I flank, there is usually someone that can see you, even while cloaked, and kill you unless they are so inaccurate they couldn't hit the broad side of the MCC from 10 m out.

I can't for the life of me understand how HP mods like armor can have such a low fitting cost but if you want to fit KinCats or CBs, you have to pay up the wazoo in CPU and PG, because apparently those mods are super OP and they wouldn't want my little Minja to get to 300 HP by being able to also fit Shields.

I really don't understand how people in PC are killing with Minjas, but I don't think it can be with NKs unless they are hacking.

And don't get me starting on that stupid clunky cloak delay glitch. Tired of running at people who saw me without having my knives, just because I tried to pull out my knives while evading in the wrong order. Because a 200 HP Minja is so OP with knives and so hard to kill that we should just be relegated to running without weaponry...

I hear you. A break can do you good. Try not to take things so hard. Min Scout wouldn't be the underdog if your experiences weren't the norm. It's always tough. Try to pick your battles more carefully. Personally, being un-squadded and off coms helps my concentration TREMENDOUSLY. I wish it weren't the case though..

Whatever you do, don't quit. Just keep fighting, kicking and screaming.

We will never die.

Not both. And I think it may be a good principle to run on. But again, I raise my concerns on it becoming speed+tank. I'm glad sentinels don't have an equipment slot for the proposed jump pack. Then give the bonus to min scouts, since uprising vetsion 1.cloakfuck made minja+stealth laughably useless and also broke their "melee-focused role" by turning them into hackers(slower than gallogi hackers) Right now the only thing the numbers support minja being best at is sprint speed, and i hear tell galscout even beats them at that.

If you're a gal scout your kd per battle will improve significantly, some scouts stay sad little targets You've been given some good advice, but for right now put down that cloak it will get you killed. Learn shortcuts and scout new routes along the maps and complexes. Run, jump, climb, and crawl until you know where everything is and the quickest way to get to it. This is called scouting. Once youve scouted your map, work on flanking as described previously. Get familiar with support weapons (shotgun, plasma cannon, remote explosives, mass driver, grenades, sniper rifle) and sidearms(pistols, knives, smgs) If you plan to use a cloak, leave an equipment slot empty. Practice makes perfect. Happy hunting Sebiestor scout, MTAC pilot, Merc w/ a face

If I had to make suggestions, std heavies would getting fitting bonuses to Heavy Weapons, and ways to increase performance (not straight up damage) Standard Light suits could get advantages to resist active (not passive) scanners. Sorry, radar in new eden doesn't really work that way, but did you know kincats are actually gallente made modules?

I wouldn't worry about dying so much right now, its going to happen, you kind of just have to accept it. One thing that will reduce your deaths however is to make sure you are at least level 3 in your Gal Scout, and to skill into Dampening as high and fast as possible. Right now, your G-1 is probably showing up on people's Tacnet, and you are probably getting the "You've Been Scanned" message a lot. A scanned scout is a dead scout, so first and foremost you want to work on getting yourself dampened. This is why I was saying to put the cloak away. At this point people are going to see him with or without the cloak bc he's like fireworks on everyone's radar, while the cloak is taking away from both his sp and his fitting capacity, as well as disabling his ability to have a weapon drawn, which at low levels he's going to need more often than at higher levels.

True, but I still don't see a reason why I should ever advise a new player to spec into lvl 5 basic suits. It remains a waste of 1mil SP. It makes more sense to save the SP and get into lvl 5 Assaults sooner. I had an idea a while ago which was to make basic suits a blend between logi and assault, basically make them non-specialized suits instead of assaults without the bonus. But I did not get enough good feedback to pursue that idea further. Exactly. There is zero good reason to have any 'basic frame' beyond level 3, in fact it's a 'trap option' to even pretend they're appealing. Better than mlt? Sure. As good as a bonused suit? You're ****ing kidding yourself. If we really want basic medium frames to be used at all then they have to have something the Assault suits don't have. One idea I had was giving basic medium frames a second equipment slot -> make them an unspecialized blend between Assault and Logi. They could do a bit of both but would be less effective than the specialized suits at either. Also, since CPU/PG is tough on BMF, give them a 1% or 2% per level bonus to CPU/PG to make them competitive. But then also make sure the Assault bonus is worth it! (I think the MN and AM Assault bonuses are fine but the GA / CA bonuses could use some work, if you want to believe the general forum chatter.) dont ever, EVER believe the general forum chatter. always self test. the assault bonuses are good. the gal complain bc theyre shortest range already, the cal complain because theyre longest range already. assault is ranger so range bonuses are logical and make them the best ranged combatants with their weapons. its like how commandos cry, but then outdps everyone with their races weapons(swarms excluded bc weird reasons) Sebiestor scout, MTAC pilot, Merc w/ a face

Something to consider Right now is the 5 million clone challengeGÇª it means that many many matches are filled with people running some hard fits and doing their best to kill everyoneGÇª This is not a good time to be a new player. You have not the SP for passive buffs to your suit and likely don't have the same survivability. Its a great time to have new players, but they have to be understanding that they will get slaughtered. Everyone is getting slaughtered right now, its the point of the event.

To be honest I never liked the idea of them. "Oo I'm wearing a basic medium frame". Hardly sounds inspiring. It just adds unneeded complexity to the game, not to mention the fact they are generally very poor compared to the real suits. Both things that are bad for new players. We should just accept the fact there is no point in them and remove them. The frame skills should give a bonus to all suits of that size, access to the specialist suit skills should be at level 1 frame (hope that makes sense). The colour schemes should be available somewhere else, like salvage and aurum (we could use the awesome all black suits as actual scout suits ). Are y'all trying to stress me? I'm honestly afraid that everything in this game is going to be removed until there's only 2 roles: heavy and logi. And heavies will only be allowed to use heavy weapons and logis will only be allowed to use equipment and sidearms, and the only game mode left will be ambush... And that's when people will realize the nerfvalanche is real and the last 32 people left (8 armor tanking heavies with hmgs and 24 shield tanking logis with smgs, reps, hives, uplinks, & needles) will realize all at once how pointless and broken the game has become will quit. And then dust will be dead. Do y'all realize this is the direction we're starting to go here? Sebiestor scout, MTAC pilot, Merc w/ a face

You realize that Project Legion is just a continuation of Dust? It's just a sequel, BF3 is to BF4 as Dust 514 is to Legion. Hmm no I don't. I realize that dust is the second game in the eve series and that valk is the third. Battlefield and the other typical shooter games have regular new releases that are just a rehash of the same game. MMOs don't work that way. When they try, both games fail. Can you name one exception? If legion was a continuation of dust, why has it been advertised as that it will run concurrently with dust and not be the same game at all? At the same time if the two were intended to run concurrently, why would the claim have been made that legion will become the game we had all dreamed dust to be? Legion seems to me as though its a way to throw dust away when its only halfway to being the game we eexpected at launch I've been here for years and I'd like to be here for many years to come. I want to see dust become what it was advertised to be. I still have big dreams for the future of dust, and I feel that legion worshipping will not help dust grow, onlystifle any chance that it has of blossoming into the game we all were promised. Dust has so much potential, but when people ssay things like legion is to dust as bf3 is to bf4, I feel like its a bad omen. Bf4 is to bf3 as warlords is to uprising. Legion is to dust as eq2 is to eq. From what the devs have said legion will try to run alongside dust but will divide the player base and endgame will cause both games to fail and a lot of money to be lost both bybccp and by the players. I very much would rather not see that happen. Dust has a lot of room to grow. Dust has a lot of art assets being unused. Dust has some great minds behind it that could make it the best game there is or ever has been. I'd like to see that play out. I'm not ready to give up on dust. I believe in it. I think it could bring people back to the ps3. I think eve, dust, and valk could end up being a reason for people to have and still use a PC, a PS3, and a ps4. I think dust was conceived with lofty goals that I would like to see it live up to. I think dust can incentivise people to keep ahold of their ps3s for many years to come and even keep people buying ps3s. I honestly believe it has more potential than anyone gives it credit for, I just think dust needs more people to believe in it and it needs to try a little bit harder to reach its potential. If dust dies I will likely not play legion. I will almost definitely not buy a ps4 and don't want to, and if legion is green lit and ported to ps4, then greiv rabbah will almost certainly die and that's not what I hope for. After how sony has turned on both their developers and their loyal customers, i do not ever want to pay sony anything again. But I believe the eve series is the future of gaming and I believe dust has an important role to play as part of that series. I want to see it prove me right.
