Haerr Molon Labe. League of Infamy 15	Posted - 2013.07.08 11:07:00 - [1] - Quote Hey Shotty feel free to add me to the board. Gallente Scout - AR,Shotgun,Plasma ;) K: 10065 D: 3344 KDR: 3.01 WP 935'836 I've joined the 'Scouts United' channel in-game and I am looking forward to squading up with you guys and chat about fittings and whatnot. /Haerr
Haerr Molon Labe. League of Infamy 22	Posted - 2013.08.04 17:25:00 - [2] - Quote I specced all the way into Proto Gallente Scout right after the respec. It works well, not excedingly so but still. Recently I've been running the following. Complex Shield Extender Complex Shield Regulator Complex Armor Repairer Complex Cardiac Regulator Complex Kinetic Catalyzer Proto Stable Drop Uplinks Creodron Shotgun 'Toxin' SMG Flux Grenades What does work well however is the following: C-I Assault Complex Shield Extender Basic Shield Extender Complex Shield Regulator Complex Shield Regulator Standard Shotgun Standard SMG This suit only costs ~13k if you have a BPO Suit and Shotgun ( 'Daemon', 'Dren' or 'Militia' ) Maybe I'll be playing more scout once the TacNet fix has been implemented...

C'mon guys assault suits are not going to last any longer in a knife fight than a scout suit. It's just silly. Some people just need every percieved edge or crutch possible We saw that just the other day aswell! Was pretty hilarious to see...

If you are jumping up on top of things and you need at least 3 jumps to get there it is a better idea to only have a Basic Cardiac since they give a higher percentage bonus to recharge than to the pool which means that the bar 'fills' quicker.

I'm running a standard Gallente scout (level 1 bonus + level 1 dampening skill) and decided to give up one reactive plate (out of the two I had equipped) in exchange for the standard dampener, which should reduce my profile 22% in total. Considering the fact that I'm all but dead if I actually have to engage an opponent, is it worth giving up my other reactive plate for another dampener? It's not as though there's a huge difference between 100/200 EHP and 100/150 EHP! No one knows. So we asked. Still, no one knows. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1243536#post1243536 We do know. Stacking penalties applies to: Armor Plates ( The movement penalty is effected by stacking penalties. ) Cardiac Regulators Codebreakers Damage Modifiers Kinetic Catalyzers Myofibril Stimulants Precision Enhancers Profile Dampeners Range Amplifiers Shield Energizers Shield Rechargers Shield Regulators The TLDR is looking in at this chart: All skills are assumed to be level 5 and only Complex modules are used. The chart lists how many 'Complex Profile Dampeners' you need to avoid detection. The far left column includes: 'Active Scanners' - Highlighted with different colours. 'Vehicle Sensors' - Listed by highest meta level with that 'Scan Precision' 'Suits - x' - Where x is the number of 'Complex Precision Enhancers' equipped.

Why bother playing if they don't care to develop us out of irrelevance. Let them have their medium suit circle jerk just the way they want it. I would definitely be up for some form of protest. You'd need to get all the Scouts in on it though for it to work. I'm in and certain that others are as well. Now how do we go about doing the protest?

(Oh and if you are wondering where the rest of my SPs are: AR Prof:3, Sniper Prof:3, Shotgun Prof:4, SMG Prof:4 + Loads of core & support skills at 5.) I don't like Gallente Assault, because I have a Gallente Scout. Scout is 1 high & 4 low. the Assault is 3 high and 4 low. the Logi is 3 high and 5 low. Gallente is all about the low lots. Having the same number as the scout, you really feel sluggish without much gain. You also are detected by ADV scanners. Better for a Scout or former Scout just run the scout suit as a miniature Assault than get used to being slow and obvious. The one thing I really dislike about medium suits is that they are so easily scanned down, most of the time when I get the 'you've been scanned' message I just switch back to a scout suit. I've been considering the gallente-& minmatar logistics suit but I'm afraid that I would only be speccing into one of them to have a "better scout suit". Once you've played a scout suit enough to have changed play style to match it, it gets a lot more difficult to pick up an other role. At least that is how I feel, it might be that I've simply grown so familiar with the scout suit that I try to play the other suits as if they are scout suit - though I won't deny that having access to a logi suit would really help out with the start of match uplink spam. And not all maps are all too friendly for scouts, maybe just having more options availible would make Dust more fun to play?

And not all maps are all too friendly for scouts, maybe just having more options availible would make Dust more fun to play? i used to think the logi for uplinks thing.. until I noticed that the ADV uplinks let you have more than 1 active at a time. SO, I use those, drop 2, remember where I put them... then usually by the time I die, one of them has been cleared, so I just drop another one, or two as need be. As far as maps go... Some maps are more scout-friendly than others. However, I think that all maps have places where scouts can shine. it just so happens that each map requires different techniques. Some maps are mostly city, so, you know.. do the sneaky thing around corners :) Some maps are a mix, so you can select the most appropriate objective to defend, or something. Some maps are spread widely apart, which means it's terrible when your team suddenly loses all spawn points on the other side of it. Particulary when there is insanely good proto AV or something on the other team... unless there's a fast, sneaky, patient scout who can run around the "long way", and go drop an uplink behind enemy lines. There's almost always some "long way" that isnt being watched. If you can drop TWO instead of just one, then it's even better. ADV uplinks? ugh, though I do use them in ambush to reduce the cost of the fitting and since all uplinks are reduced to 3sec in ambush they're as good as PRO ones. In ambush that is. If you use a scout suit, and only a scout suit, and uplinks in PC you need a few different version of the same suit since you'll want to alternate between uplinks - and if you want to have a shotty version (not much lag) and a smg version (sort of lag resistant) you'll end up with double the amount of fittings. (So many stupid fits of the same thing clogging up my fittings window :/ ) Now the gal.logi suit on the other hand can fit 3 PRO uplinks on a standard suit, making it really easy to get those uplinks out in PUB matches. I kind of hope that they nerf the uplinks by setting a 'personal roof' on how many you can have out -> you put down 3 gauged and then 1 flux one of the gauged disappears... oh yes I would very much like that. You are right about the maps, the PC maps are a lot better for scouts than the majority of the PUB maps, and game modes, are. I guess it comes down to familiarity with the maps (and the role you play on them), since I've been enjoying flying dropships and tanking I guess I've just avoided playing scout on maps that are unkind to scouts. One thing I am certain about; I will in no way miss invisible swarms and 2HKs from railtanks while in a DS / ADS. I really like the new maps and kind of like the PC maps, in that order. The rest of the maps not so much. Do the rest of you scouts feel the same way about the maps or am I missing out on some awesome scout stuff on the old maps?

Since the patch the whole 'stuttering-run' is getting me killed every once in a while too. Oh and guys I'm back to running exclusively scout siuits now. So far it hasen't been going all that well but hey placing uplinks all over the place let's me keep up my WPs. I seem to be dying a lot when I am using ADV suits, so I have a few questions... First off let me share the suit I that I do 'best' (more like not completly crappy) in: P. GalScout C. Reactive Armor Plate C. Cardiac Regulator C. Profile Dampener C. Kinetic Catalyzer P. Uplink (one suit for each variant) S. Flux Grenade A. Assault SMG A. Shotgun C. Shield Extender ... Soo, trying out all the different lows and highs on advanced suits have been a lot of fun (and a lot of fail sometimes), I've come to really like the C. Range Amplifiers and C. Codebreakers sadly the Advanced Suit only has 2 lows and not 3 for some reason and I am reluctant to give up any of the lows on my proto suit. Does anyone run a suit with Codebreakers successfully or is hacking something better left to medium suits? And does anyone fit Range Amplifiers on their protosuits? Oh and guys I just want to share this: Creodron Shotgun - CPU:93, PG:14 Duvolle Specialist Shotgun - CPU:78, PG:11 Federation Creodron Specialist Shotgun - CPU:51, PG:7 You'll be finding me in Gallente FW for a while!

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. 1) Place uplinks, Remove enemy uplinks, Hack unguarded point - if I catch anyone alone and/or by surprise I (try) to take them out. 2) Uplinks, though I would do weird stuff for an extra EQ slot 3) No. Having to chose a cloak over uplinks would defeat my primary objective. If the cloaking devices are personal I would switch to one, if they are placed equipment (like a nanohive) I probably won't.
Haerr 139	Posted - 2013.12.15 08:16:00 - [24] - Quote Having tried it out having 2x Complex Kinetic Catalyzers is way nicer than having 1x Complex Cardiac Regulator & 1x Complex Kinetic Catalyzer, sadly the fitting requirements are pretty sever and I doubt even getting the last level in Shotgun-& SMG Optimization skills will let me use a Prototype Flux (or Gauged) Drop Uplink at the same time. Having said that I did make a 'combat fit' that uses 2x Complex Kinetic Catalyzers which is working out a bit better (I think) than my regular suits. So now I have a start suit (Uplink, 1x Card., 3x Kin.), regular suits (Uplink suits), fast hack suit (suicide hack), combat suit (2x Kin.). Still wondering if there is a decent Prototype Suit that uses Range Amplifiers though... having 2x Complex Range Amplifiers is pretty damn awesome but I feel so slow with out my Greens & Reds. Also wondering if anyone uses an AR on their Prototype Suit? Those Federation Specialist weapons sure are damn nice! A thing I want to mention: The ISK per LP is really (really) low in Dust, if you use your LP to buy suits you'll get the equivalent of ~208486 ISK per win @ level 10. If you use it to buy tanks and turrets it falls to ~129k. Strangely enough if you use it to buy Tactical ARs or Assault RRs it's close to 360k per win. I think LP is best used to get the Specialist weapons since they're not availalbe anywhere else. Oh and the worst thing to buy from the LP store is modules. They give out roughlly 22k worth of ISK per win @ level 10. Scout Registry wrote: Dec 14th - Question of the Day: If most Scouts ran cloak, would most Logis run 15 dB scanners? Explain. As of 1.7 you can no longer sprint cancel your scan which makes the focused scanner highly undesireable to use because of that 5 sec scan time. Though if we ever see a team fielding only players with <28 dB scan profile it would become a necessity to use that scanner, I doubt that will happen though and I doubt they would switch if only scouts are using cloaks. One thing I've noticed about remotes, I've seen people use them on fast hack suits; they put down REs before they start hacking and by the time I shot them dead they've already hacked the point and then they're able to blow me up due to being able to detonate while downed/dead... super annyoing.

Every time I log on to the forums this thread has added a few pages at the very least and it is taking longer and longer to keep up with what is being said in here. I like that the Scout Registry is going strong but it is (a whole lot) more than just a registry and has been for quite some time. (Good job all around on that one! )

But when he immediately did not shoot me I realized he was with you. It pretty cool having a pistol duel however I apologize for using the Viziam that one time but it was my least expensive fitting with a decent pistol (only 30K) and it had a nanohive so...... I had a lot of fun doing that duel with you. Excuse the delay in the begining as I didn't have a pistol fit setup, I'll make sure to keep a few fits around to duels with so that we can get started right away next time! (One with uplinks, one with hives and so on.) Don't worry about using the, slightly more expensive, good guns, it just brings that extra little bit of risk that makes the game more fun to play.

But when he immediately did not shoot me I realized he was with you. It pretty cool having a pistol duel however I apologize for using the Viziam that one time but it was my least expensive fitting with a decent pistol (only 30K) and it had a nanohive so...... I had a lot of fun doing that duel with you. Excuse the delay in the begining as I didn't have a pistol fit setup, I'll make sure to keep a few fits around to duels with so that we can get started right away next time! (One with uplinks, one with hives and so on.) Don't worry about using the, slightly more expensive, good guns, it just brings that extra little bit of risk that makes the game more fun to play.

When I saw Bojo on the other side I just posted in 'Scouts United' since that is the channel where all the scouts hangout, since I not really a fan of having loads of channels open I suggest we just continue to use 'Scouts United' to get impromptu duels going.

Anyway - what are your thoughts on using knives with the 1.8 G-Scout v.s. the 1.8 Minja? I'm sort of on the fence regarding whether the knife damage bonus and speed will be the way to go, or if it would be more useful to have a lower base profile dampening and rely more on stealth and infiltration..... plus, having the armor repair is nice and will mean I'm always combat ready if I can manage the time between engagements.... Any experienced players used both and have any comments? Please note that in 99% of my games I run basic suits and basic pistols; which I intend to continue in 1.8. For knives I'd probably go with the ZN-28's, with max proficiency skills and maybe a damage mod in the high if I choose Gallente over Min..... As I put 11 posts ago, I skilled into the Minmatar scout. I did this because of the shinobi event (I completed it yesterday using G/1-Series). I am only running knives on my Minmatar suits from now on. Is the difference in movement speed really that large? Day 2.

Though it was easier to read on the older one....regardless I think this discussion is boiling down to how we think gameplay should go. 1) Driftwards side (I get #1 so hah): There should be a hard counter to scouts/cloaks. That counter should be active scanners. It should require massive difficulty in fitting (to the point of why bother) to beat those last 3 or 4 rows on the table. Also, that the focused scanners are gimped in terms of everything (range = 100 m, angle = 60, cool down = 40 sec, only 5-7.5 second scan visibility) except scan precision. To my thinking, as long as I can beat a prototype scanner (without a gal logi behind it) and it doesn't gimp out my suit (1 basic dampener currently) that's reasonable. 2) Cyrius': Scouts should be able to beat all scanners with a reasonable fitting. Somewhere using 1 module slot or less. We aren't going to be able to come to an agreement as these game play paradigms are mutually exclusive. Obviously I'm of the opinion that #1 is more balanced, but we also haven't gotten these on the ground yet so time will tell. I think that the balance between active and passive scanning will be better served by having more nuances of what can and can't be scanned. Sure the the Gal.Logi. will be able to catch a few scouts IF they equip the Focused scanner and IF they manage to actually hit a scout with it. It might look like it is huge thing right now but we are currently suffering from 360spin scanning every few seconds. And even now there is very, very, very, few that does that with the focused scanner. Question is: will scouts be that much of a menance that it will be worth it to bring in multiple Gal.Logis with focused scanners? Edit: What should I change about the new table to make it better/easier to read? Day 2.

It would take you 4 minutes of scanning to cover 360 degrees at 100m range. Unless you know for sure the direction your scout is coming from (and a good scout should never come from the obvious direction), you'll surely be wanting a shorter cooldown, longer range scanner. Even if I did get scanned 100m out and lit up for 7.5 seconds, I back off for a few seconds and there's no way that gaps been closed down in that time. Say the gal logi proto focused is running with a squad, if I'm scouting sensibly, I know where they are and none of them are close enough to get me in that tiny window. Back off for a few seconds, hide and change route with another 30-40 to get where I want to be. And for those who think they'll really be able to time their cloaking to coincide with the exact moment someone scans - seriously? How on earth are you going to know when to activate? If you're already that omniscient, you don't need a cloak; just shoot a lightning bolt out of the cloud your sitting on. If the Gal.Logi. is smart it will wait until someone yells "SHlT! Scout here, scan, Scan, SCAN!" and then scan there. And if the Scout is even smarter it will cloak up when it knows it has been spotted making the Gal.Logi. waste it's chance to scan him down. Still it will be a lot more fun to play hide and seek if the other person actually has a chance to find you, don't you think? Day 2.

A little less hp but being sure that I will never turn up as a red blip on anyones tac-net is pretty awesome and a huge relief from being (quite often depending on who you played against) scanned down by focused scanners in 1.7. I have to say the cloak field is really clunky to use with the mouse and keyboard, that and a mate (that CR wielding Gallente scout :) ) telling me he doesn't bother with having a cloak on all of his builds makes me think that maybe the fitting space could be better spend on other things. I'll get back to you on that one. I really wouldn't bother with the Minmatar if you are looking for a suit with better passive scans. The Caldari is the only choice for a passive scan suit and even then you have to be prepared to never being able to scan down Gallente scouts. As for running a hacksuit (not having tried out the minnie scout) I prefer knowing that I will not be scanned down by any Caldari scouts en route. A gk.0 with a complex dampener (or two) and 2~3 complex codebreakers seems to be working fine since there is little to no warning before the hack starts. I hope we'll get a chance to play again soon! :) Scanning Table for 1.8: LINK

I wonder what you guys think of the sniper rifles and what should happen those? Also how are scouts holding up after alpha so far? (From my POV) The changes to the dampening bonus on cloak fields hit the Amarr and Minmatar scouts harder than anyone else. The changes to the Gallente dampening bonus is fine. The changes to the Gallente scan range bonus is not as annoying as I suspected it would be. The changes to armour modules is pretty neat as ferroscales and reactives are now useful. It still feels like the basics armour plates are to useful for the cpu/pg they take up. On the scanning changes: please consider removing the dampening bonus on the Gallente scout and reducing the bonus to the Caldari scout's scan precision & reducing the bonus to the Gallente logistics bonus to scan precision on active scanners. The reason being that somewhere close to giving up half your module slots or two module slots + a prototype cloak there is a breaking point for most fits where they quite simply are no longer competitive. Removing slow down on hit is making a huge difference, even though the CCP guys have said that they've removed it from all weapons it still feels like you sometimes still 'get stuck' when someone is shooting at you. Sprint bugs are still here, the one you have to crunch then jump to get rid of seems to have made a come back and the other one where you are doing something and then start sprinting and you do the 'heavy walk' while stamina is draining is still here in full force. Still getting stuck on corners sometimes. But even with all these problems just getting rid of slow down on hit feels like a major improvement. I've tried out the AR for a bit both on a Gallente assault suit and on the scout suit; Can't really tell if the assault bonus to the AR is working or not it just seems to be working similar regardless of which suit you are in. Also can't say that I'm noticing the buff to the ARs damage. The fitting space on the assault suit is pitiful compared to any other type of suit, please fix. The Sniper Rifle - the weapon that came prefitted on our Arbiter starter fits and where ?most? of us scouts started out. Can't really say, hardly ever use it anymore, not sure I even have a fit with one. I do have it skilled up though, it's just not a very fun weapon to use on most maps, if it was more useful closer to the fights I'd probably have a fitting with one.

There are two kinds of clones There are two kinds of clones, those that remain hidden and those that are lit up like christmas trees visible for an entire squad to be hunted down. I am alluding to that any kind of scan, active or passive, is shared with your squad. Meaning that a 'Scout Hunter' isn't the one actually hunting the scouts in this system, his 5 friends that are all brick tanked, how ever, are 'Scout Hunters' because of shared scans. Downed but not out Passive scans are still shared while you are downed (have a timer). In order to temporarily reduce your opponents all-seeing-eye you must bleed out the clone, then ~5-10 seconds later when it spawns in again you have to do it all again. Being downed counts as still being alive and as long as you are alive your scans are shared. Wrong order bug If you have 'Precision Enhancers' or 'Profile Dampeners' of mixed tiers on your fit the stacking penalty is applied to the higher tier module. Basically this is because the game counts the basic Profile Dampener's multiplier of 0.85 (-15%) to be of higher value than the advanced Profile Dampener's multiplier of 0.80 (-20%). Oh HAI The terrain mesh sometimes hides drop uplinks very well, sometimes it hides people very well as well. Passive scans sometimes have trouble interacting with the terrain mesh. Limited purview The sad part of all this is that CCP Rattati wants to at least look at the scanning system but can not. The hotfixes with community feedback are slated to be server-side only, limiting what can be changed. A Vision! (As in unlikely to happen in Dust) 'Scan Precision' falloff, meaning that both the Caldari and Gallente Scout could be winning in the same system. All suits would be able to pickup vehicles from farther away. A change to shared scans, possibilities include requiring a module to have shared passives scan too differentiating between several states 'of being scanned down'. But for now... Premised with these problems the role of a 'Scout Hunter' does not exist, Caldari Scouts are a drop-in replacement for the scannerinas - an almost permanently turned on wallhack with little recourse to counter. As of hotfix Alpha the only suit in the game that can still avoid scans without being completely gimped is the Gallente Scout suit. Out of the 20 suits (not counting the basic frames) in the game it is the only one that is still viable while dampened. What is left Is to try and make the current system hurt players as little as possible. Meaning that in order to allow more different suits on the field there needs to be something that a role is 'good at'. Heavies have heavy weapons, Commandoes have 2 light weapons, Logistics have loads of equipment, Assault have... well... uhm... moving on! And Scouts can have Dampening. (Cloaks are useless when you have red chevron hanging over you.) All aboard! If we agree on this we can move on to levelling the playing field between Scouts. The Caldari and Gallente bonuses are to strong within the current system. In order for some semblance of balance within the current system, and a place for the Amarr and Minmatar at the table, they need to be changed. TL;DR The current system is flawed and CCP is not going to change it. The Caldari and Gallente are, comparatively, to strong within the current system. Squash the Caldari and Gallente and all Scouts can be Scouts. .

That's what Iggy was saying, but it wasn't what I see ... I see is a cPE(2) Warden "keeping Scouts honest" by detecting Scouts who only run one Damp. And a cPE(3+) Warden further specializing into the role of Scout Sniffer / Hunter. If a CalScout doesn't wish to be a Warden, he can certainly run Shields or Damage Amps. Are you saying we should tie his bonus to Base Precision instead of Precision Enhancers?

I really like the idea of having fall off on scan precision. As for a racial theme I'd like to suggest that suits with many high slots be given shorter range to counterbalance their ability to fit Precision Enhancers. And suits with many low slots are given a higher base Scan Precision because of their ability to fit Range Amplifiers. Basically short powerful scans or long distance weak scans.

Sounds interesting, but would need more info on how it would work. And also if it's technically feasible give the current Dust resources. Otherwise it's a waste of time discussing it. Would also be interested to see partial scan results when the precision and dampening values are close (shows location but not direction, only shows up occasionally instead of constantly, etc). Yeah, I was under the impression that any changes to how the scan system works were off the table because: it is not christmas. Yet here you (IWS) are asking a hope inducing question; what gives? Is it for Dust or is it for Legion?

Good stuff, Haerr. What are your thoughts on this? Well it'll make the scanning game less tough on Amarr and Minmatar suits, which is good. A few people I've spoken to that specced into the Caldari suit for the Precision bonus is 'not all together happy' with the change. But the Caldari Scout suit gets the ever so useful bonus to dampening which is pretty damn nice, I consider it a fair trade and it's making me consider speccing into it. A big plus with these changes is that all scouts now have the ability to evade the most precise scans. (Can you guys tell that I am very biased in favour of dampening yet? ) I'll admit that I am a bit hesitant because of this fit: Scout Ak.0 2c PEs 1c RA 3c PDs 1 Prototype Cloak Field But even with the possibility of this fit I doubt that it will become a huge problem since most scouts can evade it. Still all in all and with out the possibility of Precision Fall Off or the Removal of Shared Passive Scans it is likely to be more balanced than the current Caldari Scout suit is or rather less imbalanced than the current Caldari Scout suit is. I do wonder which suit will be more useful as a shotgunner now, the Caldari or the Gallente Scout?

Oh and I would very much like a slightly closer range sniper rifle that I can use while standing up. I would like to suggest having a version of the HMG mechanic, remove the sway so that we can line up the shot but make ADSing the same as holding the trigger for a HMG. Meaning that after a second or two of ADSing you will be able to hit in the middle of the crosshair. Just a random thought, hope it helps to bring a different PoV or something. :) Edit: Continuing that thought you could make shooting the tactical sniper rifle (using that version of the HMG mechanic) blow up the crosshair, that way you can increase the number of bullets in the tacticals mag without it becoming overpowered - as well as rewarding players with trigger discipline.

The difference between an in-game sensitivity of 0 vs 100 is the amount of input count required to rotate "the minimum rotation allowed". This means that the current minimum rotation you can do in Dust while using a mouse is far greater than 1 UU rotation. While that in it self is not a problem the "far greater" bit is. UEs rotation coordinates (x,y,z axes) are saved in 16bits (i.e. 2^16 possible positions GÇö 65,536 steps) which means that 1 UU worth of rotation is 360 degrees divided by 2^16. So the problem clearly is not in how the rotation is saved. Sadly something is preventing mouse input to rotate a player just 1 UU. The easiest way for Q&A (or LogiBro or Rattati) to replicate would be to grab a mouse, grab a sniper rifle, as it is very easy to see while using the ADS on sniper rifles GÇö instead of a smooth movement there is always a "snapping to grid" regardless of which in-games sensitivity settings you use, or mouse DPI and/or polling rate for that matter. Just aim at something and try to move the crosshair 1 pixel to the right then 1 pixel up then 1 pixel left and then 1 pixel down. Instead of moving 1 pixel, and your crosshair will "snap to grid" a lot further away than where you wanted to aim. Pixel skipping, instead of a smooth movement your mouse is snapping to a grid.

Shirley there exists some benefit to KB/M in Dust. If all it offered were disadvantages, why would it ever be used? For me it's about familiarity, having only played FPS games with a mouse trying to play one with a controller is a bad experience for me as I am really really hilariously bad with a controller. The other guys I know who have played Dust with a mouse have either switched to a controller if they've felt comfortable enough with it, or bought a GIMX / Eagle Eye / XIM, or stopped playing Dust and gone back to playing FPS games on the computer. But back on the topic of aim assist vs controls and core mechanics (hit detection, latency compensation...). Not Jebus's alt. // Now residing in Ana. // ... I think I might be one of Appia's alts ...

Solution: Scan Precision falloff. Pressure point: Remember back in chromo before weapons had falloff? That is how the scanning system works in Dust. Related problem: Scouts have great scanning capabilities (that aren't hampered by being cloaked), reducing passive scans to only display results, no direction arrow btw only a blip, on the mini-map (and not the HUD) ought to be part of the solution.

Idea 2: Having an Active Cloak makes your Scan Precision worse. (So you can still spot uplinks but not players.) Idea 3: Having an Active Cloak reduces your movement speed. (Making it more difficult to Shotgun or Knife while cloaked) I am still in favour of having to manually decloak before you can switch weapons. The thing is, if something is done to the cloak it will still do its job of giving scouts an easier than otherwise way of getting into position. Once you are in position you rarely need the cloak to be effective as a scout, it is a neat tool to have but not one that is an absolute necessity. So doing something to the cloak would probably only make a temporary dent in performance until scouts learn to compensate. I am very interested in the CPM members POVs on how to go about hampering the over performance in pub matches of Scout + Cloak + Shotgun / Knives.

Haerr Dead Man's Game RUST415 1953	Posted - 2014.11.18 23:01:00 - [261] - Quote I like the idea of EWAR being focused around and balanced around medium frames. With light suits being an exception rather than a superior participant. Scouts give up any combat bonuses and EWAR bonuses in favour of the privilege of remaining (almost) unseen as well as unscannable at (almost) any range, in addition to the added utility of a 2nd equipment slot. InterScout balance would be in a better place if the Scout role bonus entailed both the Cloak Field and a bonus to Dampening / Dampeners. Being able to completely sidestep any and all scanning attempts is a huge boon and in it self more than enough for the class that gets it. Scout suits no longer having superior EWAR bonuses isn't going to exclude us from participating, it will how ever prevent us being the only ones that can participate. If Assault suits fitted for flanking (3cPDs) could avoid any Scout @ Medium range Dust would be a lot more fun. If said Assault flanking fit could also hide from a GalLogis PRO Active Scanner even more so. Scouts would still retain the ability to scan down loads of suits, also Scouts would still be the only ones that could hide from Focused scanners and most suits @ Short Range. I ran over Jebus McKing in FW The game said -50WP But it felt like +over 9000 WP

They've definitely turned cloak into a tool-best-used-for-travel; clunky implementation or not, I'm OK with the fact that it is not longer being used to execute frontal assaults. Once fire-from-cloak is squared away, I don't think we'd be out-of-line asking for a significant shimmer reduction. Whether dark or light, spotting cloaked scouts from any hillside elevation is cake. If you've yet to observe cloak from 250+ meters, grab a sniper rifle and try it. Anyhow, I'm of the opinion that we should wait for a performance slump before requesting anything; our suits aren't bad yet, and they're still outselling Assaults. The next round of Scout nerfs will likely put Assaults in the lead; if Zatara convinces Rattati to drop any bombs, we'll likely be in good position to propose improvements. Thinking ahead: What can we do to make cloak more effective in its intended role, such that even Appia might use it? * Make Bomber Dropships * Remove Infantry Cloak * Introduce Vehicle Cloak Problem solved.

I do see a lot more of them than I used to, but I also see a lot more assault suits in general than I used to. Having only tried out the MinAss on an alt (with near maxed cores) I have to say that it really is quite awesome too have the movement speed of a scout on an assault suit. Don't get me wrong I still prefer the GalAss since it has the PG to run with decent EQ in addition to a near protoed out fit. Only time I run Scout now is when I need too dampen or when I need the 2 EQ slots, it is sad that the Cloak has become so cumbersome to use that it is easier to not run with one at all. Occasionally a scout speed fit but the assault speed fits are usually quick enough and has the CPU/PG support more things and stuff. I think that perhaps switching the movement speeds of assaults and logistics could be a good move. The logistics suits as they are now feel a bit to weak for what they give up. Speaking of logistics, I would like for the rep tool with 2 beams to be mouse1 'fire' beam1 and mouse2 'fire' beam2, that way I wouldn't have to lose lock when trying to hit the 2 'right' people with the beams. Perhaps have slightly different colour on the beams as well so that it would be easier to switch the 'right' beam from one target to an other. It also feels weird that the rep tools have infinite ammo with no need to reload or recharge, feels a bit broken to me. "This game runs so smoothly on the hardware it was designed for! Amazeballs!"

No overheat or recycling/recharging state though, just less reps and more time before being able to rep at max efficacy again. Perhaps a heat guage like this: 1 ------------------------ 2 --------------------------------------------- 3 / ------------------------ / ____________________________ / / -----Normal rep---- / ____Increasingly reduced rep____ / / -Quickly cools off- / _Increasingly longer cool off time_ / Edit: Perhaps it could have a slight increase in rep rate aroud 2 before starting to suffer from the reduced rep rate...

Scanning numbers were added to the fitting screen so you can try putting on a full rack of amps to see where that lands you. Or if you would rather just see a comparison of the number of modules and their effects you can go to the 'output' sheet, under the section for Scout - Minmatar in this spreadsheet: LINKY

Know this though: I am responsible for a much reduced team from before, and I need to balance feature development with revenues, that's simply my job. I made it my quest, if you will, to add good gameplay, fix long standing issues, work with the community and keep DUST 514 open while our players stick with us. Fixing performance is at the top of our list, now that Warlords is out, and we are even considering moving out any new development back, such as PC 2.0, for the sake of a few frames, which includes a new way of rendering skins, level lighting and the whole chat/voice code. And honestly, everyone can drop the tinfoil hats, there are no ex-EA execs breathing down my neck, twisting my arm to monetize. I am tasked with making a "normal" profitable ans sustainable game-as-a-service, covering costs and a bit more. Just take a look at PS2 and Smedley's statements on its profitability to see that this is a tough industry. We are very proud of the way we have been gradually improving and we are doing all we can to not make DUST514 P2W. I am a core fps player at heart and I know that frames are life, not graphics, but those are the hardest technical issues, and hard to demonstrate return on that investment. Improved revenues give us space to tackle that, and more, and they get funneled directly into the game. In my mind increasing performance before releasing PC2.0 will increase the retention rate of players who will be coming back for PC2.0. Delaying PC2.0 will also give the community an opportunity to give feedback on newly implemented mechanics and mechanic changes, and so any further tweaks of these mechanics can be done before or in conjunction with PC2.0, in essence solidifying the game experience before the 'reboot' of the competitive mode. More time before PC2.0 will also mean an opportunity for further balancing passes, which will also be appreciated. Especially so if you manage to squeeze in the vehicle changes and a balancing pass on them. And as for monetising, I think SirManBoy had an excellent idea when he suggested that the APEX suits be allowed to fit any available BPOs. In addition to making more services available; things like: station change, gender bending, race/bloodline change, EVE character generator to use for portraits, portrait do-over for AUR, AUR BPC skins for PRO suits, AUR BPC weapons with differently coloured effects, AUR monocles for the portraits, ... (That different way of rendering skins wouldn't include an opportunity to introduce AUR BPC/BPO skins to be used on PRO suits, tanks, and dropships, would it?) Basically the pitch is this: * appeal to fear * more time is needed before releasing PC2.0 for it to not fail * the recent changes need to solidify * vehicle changes need to go through first * more time to introduce more spending options GÇö AUR services, AUR skins for PRO suits, tanks, etc. * fixes related to retention rates need to come through first Gû¼+¦GòÉGòÉn¦ñ

Lately more of old corpies have been playing Dust again, so we have a lot less trouble getting a full squad going. As per usual we run anything from lolfits to random bouts of (somewhat) coherent squad base fits. Sadly there is a pervasive mindset spreading amongst the denizens of the public contracts. Public contracts as you are all well aware are in fact public, open to all and everyone. But that growing group of malcontents not only disagrees with the ability to play with your friends but also to the ability to choose what gear you are allowed to bring. In fact they are actively working to rob us of the freedom of playing together with our friends, with a clear aim at turning us against one and other. So I ask you what kind of person would advocate for friends to turn on each other? The second part is that those of that pervasive mindset seeks to take the freedom of choice from us. They would have it so that Public Contracts are segregated, splitting our community into barred subsections who are not allowed to play with each other. So I ask you what kind of person would advocate for the creation of ghettos? Unfortunately that pervasive mindset is likely to fester and grow in such barred communities, in fact legitimising the childish QQ cries of " YOU CAN'T DO THAT! :'( " and " IT'S NOT FAIR! :'( ". It does seem very odd that in a game with clear rules and winning conditions there are those who instead of cherishing the opportunity to improve and grow, would seek to bar better players from playing with them. So I ask you what kind of person would only play a game if anyone who is better than them at the game is disallowed from participating? The amount of qq against using what you have available to you as well as teamwork and tactics in this game is nothing short of staggering.

You don't want your open for anything match and a place for balanced matches. FW and PC are already there for the corps and proto stompers but its not enough for them so they need pubs too. So keep your pub and make 3rd private game type like FW and PC for low meta matches. Then you still got your 3 game modes and we can have ours. Yes it is segregated it always has been with PC and FW. I want matches that are tactics and skill that wins not who has the most proto + skills + skill + tactics. It is not like we are going into FW or PC and asking everyone use std because we expect proto and squads there. Au contraire mon fr+¿re pirate, I do not find stomps enjoyable at all, what I want is balanced matches that aren't decided until the very last seconds of game time. The problem, as I see it, is the lack of proper matchmaking. The team building mechanic will only ever do so much, and is in dire need of being reiterated on with the addition of matchmaking. New players and casual players who prefer to jump on and play a game or two solo are not the problem. Scotty putting them into the same matches as full vet squads is. If Scotty left out the solo players of those matches and kept pitting those vet squads only against each other the matches would play out very differently. Naturally I also want to be able to play with my friends and with what ever gear I choose to without being forced into ridiculous queue times or specific play times.

Unless you're up against a scannerina or playing PC, the odds of getting pinged by 15dB scans are relatively low.

Resisting the urge to bringing in better suits and/or vehicles to better face the opposition is going to be difficult to resist, especially in even matches.

Change the mechanic of jumping such that in order to get the full Myo jump, you had to press on jump for half a second (0.3 seconds?). THEN increase the Stamina cost just for the Myo jump (but not the regular tap X jump). This way, you don't have to worry about jumping over boxes when all you were trying to get over was a small ledge, plus you reduce the ability to abuse the new jumps with 4 or 5 in a row by the delay of the press, plus the extra cost for a full jump. This is assuming that such a mechanic can be easily put in. Charge jump? Sounds like a good idea! I have a faint recollection of it being talked about back when we could bunny hop endlessly, still it would be a good change to the jump mechanic since it would prevent instant moon jumps as a response to being shotgunned in the back.

Not sure if they tweaked Scotty some more or if it came down to un-ticking Domination from Public Contracts. Many squad mates say they would prefer to not play Dom but end up still queueing for it in order to get into matches quicker. If only CCP would merge the Acquisition, Domination, and Skirmish, queues into one contract type then we would be getting into better (non-Dom) matches faster because of more people in the same queue.

Looks like you're up! https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2794536#post2794536 So, sometimes its better to get an analysis, than the data. What, Haerr, springs to mind when you see these. Also, traditionally I always line up some x-y charts to see trends, or lack of them. Stam pool vs Speed and Stam pool vs Stam regen would be two. Maybe they always equal out on a max travelled distance (normalized value), one runs consistently and one sprint/walks. Shield vs Shield Regen, same thing here. Total seconds to fill shield pool could be a normalized value to compare. Would love to see it, saves me some work and you already have the data. # While preferring consistency, but not minding specific outliers as long as they are there for a reason. (Minmatar Scout Melee and Caldari Sentinel Depleted Delay for example.) What springs to mind is this: There is a sense of lack of a baseline for the dropsuit roles. Having one would help when applying racial variance templates, since it would be clearer and more consistent. Which leads into to next point of the racial variances for shield stats being out of character for no apparent design reason. (Amarr Sentinel depleted delay being quicker than both Gallente and Minmatar for example. And different Caldari suits having between +15 (+71%) and +3.5 (+21%) shield recharge rates.) Speaking of shield stats, considering that shield HP is more difficult to come by than armour HP through the use of modules (less hp per module), perhaps moving some of the armour hp to shield hp directly on the Caldari suits, to match it with Amarrs armour hp, could be an option if shields need to be stronger. (Same with Minmatar having the same shield hp that the Gallente has armour HP.) Then differentiating the shield recharge stats so that they are not the same for any two races. It really comes down to which design principles are have established for the baselines and the racial variances and how the shield recharge balance between the different dropsuit roles end up looking like. (While strong tank affords players the ability to stick around, strong recharge allows them to get back into the fight quicker again after taking damage. So perhaps that is something that the Assaults should be better than the rest of the (Medium) suits at?) As for the stamina stats it was more about the differences between roles and how they relate to how those roles play than being annoyed about one race consistently having between 2x and 3x the recharge rate of two other races. More opinions than a proper analysis but oh well I hope it helps in some way. So in conclusion here is what (I think) would be a decent enough way forward. Establish per dropsuit role baseline stats. (Could very well be for derived stats instead of base stats in some cases) Establish racial variance templates. (^Same here) Oh and the Minmatar hacking speed bonus isn't applied to all Minmatar suits. # Shield regen stats would be a lot more interesting with the brick numbers so if anyones feels like it they could simply make a copy of this here spreadsheet and put them into the maxShield cells on the different dropsuit sheets.

Haerr The Rainbow Effect Negative-Feedback 2	Posted - 2015.05.30 12:22:00 - [365] - Quote I think that the Assaults strength (comparative strength towards Logis, Commandos, and Sentinels) comes more from the ability to dictate how and when an engagement happens through mobility and regen. While the other dropsuit roles have, more or less, clearly defined roles ( Scouts have dampening & cloak, Logis have Equipment, Commandos 2 Weapons, Sentinels Heavy Weapons ) Assaults do not. First lets look at how a few variables line up. Scan Profile: Scout > Assault > Logistics > Commando > Sentinel Total Base HP: Sentinel > Commando > Assault > Logistics > Scout Movement Speed: Scout > Assault > Logistics > Commando > Sentinel Stamina: Scout > Assault > Logistics > Commando > Sentinel Stamina Regen: Scout > Assault > Logistics > Commando > Sentinel Shield Recharge Rate: Scout > Assault > Logistcs/Sentinel > Commando Shield Recharge Delay: Scout > Sentinel > Logistics > Assault/Commando Shield Depleted Recharge Delay: Scout > Sentinel > Logistics > Assault/Commando There is a clear problem with Shield Stats since they have yet to receive attention since Rattati took over the helm, they don't particularly line up in any way except for Commandos being universally boned. But with the attention that Speed vs HP and Logi & Commandos are getting atm it is bound to get at least some attention. As for my preferences: (Not certain that this is viable at all but what the hell) HP: Logistics > Medium Frames > Assaults Movement Speed: Assaults > Medium Frames > Logistics Stamina & Stamina Regen: Assaults > Medium Frames > Logistics HP Regen: Assaults > Medium Frames > Logistics EQ Slots: (4)Logistics > (2)Medium Frames > (1)Assaults So for me the defined roles of the Assaults are: mobility and regen (and enough HP to make use of them).

I don't believe it fair to assume that Cross would make something up or post false information, and I don't believe it fair for us to hold him personally accountable for lack of performance improvement to date. If someone must be blamed, I vote IWS :-) Oh I am not blaming Cross at all! Merely paying a well earned compliment on a far above average troll (intentional or not).

Haerr Negative-Feedback. Negative-Feedback 3	Posted - 2015.07.17 10:30:00 - [396] - Quote Random thoughts on the NPE, information, and intuitiveness Part of the issue(s) with Dust 514s NPE stems from the steep knowledge gap between new players and vets. Information that is relevant to how the game plays is not readily available in-game. Item descriptors and functions are inconsistent between different types of items. Items descriptions are not fully descriptive of their functions, and how items functions are not represented in an easy to understand way. Short list of a few specific issues: - item descriptions does not currently contain sufficient information - stacking penalties are not mentioned nor explained (though per module visual representations (in the modules description!) would likely be a better choice) - weapon damage profiles are not mentioned nor explained - weapon variant descriptors are inconsistent between weapons and fire modes - weapon variants/fire modes are not mentioned nor explained - weapon ranges are not mentioned nor explained - weapon flavour text ought to go in the bottom not the top (pertinent information first) Sample rifle description Weapon damage profile: Hybrid (plasma) +10% damage vs shields, -10% damage vs armour Weapon fire mode: Single shot Overheat: Weapon does not overheat/ Weapon can overheat Weapon range profile: Graph (y: damage (raw), x: range in metres) (same Ymax and Xmax for all weapon descriptions, consistency and all that good jazz) Weapon descriptors - variant names are inconsistent between weapons and fire mode single shot GÇö tactical ar, fp, md, assault md, breach md, scp, assault scp, breach scp, tactical scp, sr, tactical sr, single shot, lock-on GÇö sl, single burst GÇö burst ar, cr, burst hmg, burst scp, full auto GÇö ar, breach ar, assault cr, hmg, assault hmg, smg, assault smg, breach smg, full auto, can overheat GÇö assault scr, lr, charge to fire, fire on min charge GÇö bp, assault fg, mssmg, pc, assault rr, rr, charge to fire GÇö fg, breach fg, charge sr, charge to fire, can overheat GÇö ip, scr, In order for the descriptors to be more intuitive (consistent between weapons and fire mode) some weapon variants will need to have the same primary (fire mode) descriptor, though adding a second descriptor for separating those variants (different ScPs for example) might not be necessary as they could be separated by manufacturer/ ADV model number instead. (Modifying that part of the names instead of having their own descriptors) Re: skins & power cores Perhaps kill-feed names can be automatically generated from the dropsuit/ weapon fittings? Sample dropsuit Suit: Caldari medium frame - 3rd Skin: "Quafe" - 1st Configuration: Assault - 2nd Tier/ power core: Prototype - 4th Name in killfeed: ( "Quafe" ) ( Assault ) ( c ) ( k.0 ) Sample weapon Weapon: Plasma rifle - 4th Skin: "Quafe" - 1st Configuration/ fire mode: single shot - 3rd Tier/ power core: Prototype - 2nd Name in killfeed: ( "Quafe" ) ( Duvolle ) ( Tactical ) ( Plasma Rifle )

Haerr Negative-Feedback. Negative-Feedback 3	Posted - 2015.07.25 11:02:00 - [400] - Quote Dust 514 is missing The Red Thread from NPE to end game content. So many things for the newberries to pickup on and so little in-game helping them out. If I would have started playing Dust now instead of when I did, I very much doubt that I would have played it for very long. While figuring things out together with others was fun when it was new, I can't imagine anyone having much fun starting this far behind with so little support on their side. How is a casual new solo player supposed to go from PUBs into someone who enjoys the more competitive 16 vs 16 team matches? The entry barriers to basically every little part in Dust seems overly steep. What do you think, would you have stuck around in Dust if you had started out now?

Haerr 3	Posted - 2015.08.01 20:55:00 - [405] - Quote Story time (warning thin red thread) A while back (must have been before summer since Jebus, Summer, +others were still playing Dust) we were going on about competitive balance in games. I mentioned that I really liked GW (Prophecies) back in the day. While it was lacking a lot of features when it was first released, and the balance was all over the place, things like the HoH (a continuously running ladder tournament), GvG, match replays, loads of team builds to be figured out and a rapidly changing meta made it tons of fun. Anyway I mentioned that we had this sort of required reading back then which was a couple of articles (or a compilation or something like that) from Sirlin. It turns out that this fellow has ended up working as a game balancer (and designer). And so while rereading some of the things he had written, very niche job title aside, he makes a couple of good points. Since a lot was about fighting games (I remember Kaeru being very interested in them but not having heard of Sirlin before) I ended up replaying a couple of them (mostly SF2hd, and Tekken6) when I had the chance during summer. Erhm... Right I have no idea were this was heading anymore, wait there was something about scrubs as well that I am not remembering. But yeah that guy sometimes blogs about competitive balance in games, and if you get stuck on trains not running like they're supposed to and/or stuck on the country-side while it is just pouring down (or you know if you happen to have some interested in game design or competitive balance) it makes for good enough reads.

Interestingly, we experienced lag / framerate drop / rubberbanding. It came and went, but I was surprised to see it all given how few mercs were on the field.

The lower aiming speed while sprinting is annoying whenever I shotgun in Dust.
