I was actually running scout pre-uprising. Once respect came I went full on support logi since we were lacking it at the time. Scouts are my secondary role that I have been slowly building SP for over the past couple months. Love being home.......its a soft tissue paper type of home.

I will see if I can dig it out on the time points and make clips and upload them to youtube if you want them. I played a marathon session yesterday since I didn't have time rest of the week, so I don't want to force you to watch 8 hrs of video. PS, had to swap away from shotgun/knife to AR/smg....feels dirty but its the only way
IgniteableAura Pro Hic Immortalis 173	Posted - 2013.09.25 02:51:00 - [4] - Quote For those that didnt see the cpm notes Quote: As it stands now, the current UI is a bit short sighted in all the things it can and doesnGÇÖt feed you. Far to few people understand fully how stealth works on the tactical network and how to best avoid detection and making useful tactical decisions on it. This is something that is being addressed now to better the player in understanding how the battlefield and tacnet works. This is also opportunity to give the Scout/Light and recon minded players a buff and purpose on the field in providing eyes on everything.

That is just swiping so when fully charge i believe it doubles or triples the damage. Also the Advance only does 150.00 damage without proficiency. So, to give backing to my prior statements about not needing suit bonuses: ADV give 150 per swipe. Two swipes. Charged. Gives 600 damage, when you're taking out a hacker. Headshot gives even more. If he's somehow not dead, another quick tap gives 300more. or charged, gives another 600. So, as I said, you dont need the minmatar knife bonus for assassination. Thanks you just made me realize I can run the advanced cheap knives with all my bonuses an still have 210 damage a blade, an here I been wasting isk on the proto............FACEPALM See I disagree. You cant really take out hardly any proto suits with a single charge. Even some scouts have over 600hp. Also Im not sure if knives have resists to shields vs armor. Handily I have actually taken out two people with one charge. Granted they have to be pretty close to each other, but having that bonus is really helpful to tipping the scales from 2 hits to 1. With the crappy hit detection and the high chance of missing, the need for killing with a single swipe is paramount. Think about it this way, the difference between a duvolle and std ar is a single bullet on most suits. It makes a huge difference though.
IgniteableAura Pro Hic Immortalis 183	Posted - 2013.10.01 03:52:00 - [6] - Quote Rolled around in an passive scan winni tonight. 1 complex shield 1 enhanced precision 1 complex armor 1 enhanced range It worked out surprisingly well. Oddly enough there were still times people snuck up on me...and it should be about 25m passive range at 35dB. It wasn't consistent with frames who did sneak up on me....even heavys.

Ghost what's ur nova knife fit? Do you notice uncharged blades hit more frequently...or is that my imagination.
IgniteableAura Pro Hic Immortalis 192	Posted - 2013.10.07 03:04:00 - [10] - Quote I have hit detection issues with NK even when an enemy merc is stationary.... I don't know how the game decides what's a true hit or just a shield flash. I've started moving less toward mobility and more toward tank. People seem to backpedal just as effectively regardless of my sprint speed.

Its hard to resist too. Though I already have decent amounts of SP already sunk into NK's, SMGs, and Shotguns. Not sure I want to add AR's to my list also. Anyone else run a fit similar to this able to comment? Wanted to ask you about running a Precision Enhancer - does it really help us given already being Lv5 scout? I also have Lv3 Precision It is sorta useful. The Precision Enhancement skill and the Precision Enhancement modules both offer smaller bonuses that Profile Dampening skill and Profile Dampening modules. 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. That first inner circle on your mini-radar is 25. I've tired running some passive scanning suits and they just aren't that helpful. I've gone all out with 2 enh Range and 2 enhanced precision. Think this bumps up range to about 30m on winni suit. Might be more useful on gallente scout since it has the range bonus. 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.

Minmatar suit bonuses are to profile dampening and nova knives. you don't get to see, be seen by, or hit your targets. 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. I can do well on Manus Peak with that fit too, but the rest of them not so well. but that is my play style. mixed results on Research Lab... poor results on Orbital Artillery. Gallente Scouts are inherently better. It is a shame there are a few good players using the Minmatar suit. You'd so so much better if you switched. My initial reason for going winmitar was speed. The insane speed you could get on these suits before stamina nerf and hit detection fixes meant a great deal. I started using knives once stamina nerf hit and had to fit green pills to compensate. Knives were quite useful prior to 1.3. Honestly don't know why they had to mess with them. They are all but useless now. Gal scouts are the best light frame currently. But I am hopeful ccp will fix that in their scout suit iterations. Our current skil bonus is not very fitting to the play style. I've always felt though its better to "not be seen" than "see everyone else". So I tend to stick with damps. Now if only scouts had sufficient bonus to not run damps....... I was thinking shotty said he could get 100m passive scan range on his suit....

Also supposed to have the new caldari socket set on 1.7. There is so much stuff that is supposed to hit in 1.7 I'm just worried at this point that it all makes the cut.

Fully charged stab while sprinting? I wish that was a feature Yea ccp had to nerf scouts again...I always thought it was "working as intended". It actually allows knives to kill targets who backpedal faster than a scout. I could handle that "fix" if the knives would work though... Ps lol at the fact assault suits can so easily avoid scanners. Yet again scouts have no purpose on the battlefield. We need to invest 2.5 million sp into our racial skill to avoid adv scanner. Assaults invest 1/4 that sp and fit a single mod.

IgniteableAura Pro Hic Immortalis 296	Posted - 2013.11.05 16:59:00 - [37] - Quote Original reasoning for going winmitar was the 10m/s base sprint. U were basically seabiscuit on steroids. After sprint speed/stamina were nerfed there is far less reason to go winmitar. Also the 5% role bonus doesn't do much unless you are charging your knives and the melee bonus is pointless since....why melee when you can use a knife. Secondly, I too run BPO dragonfly and do just as well. The reason being that scout suits die in roughly the same amount of time. @Appia, the best way to kill a scout is not via shotgun or knife (bringing shotgun to easy mode fight). I almost always change to SMG/AR when against another shotgunner and normally come out ahead, which could partially explain the lack of shotgun kills from minmitar. Backpedal = WIN Secondary reasoning is we normally chose either shotgun OR knife. Its a rare day when I have a shotgun on my loadout over a knife. PHI Recruitment or PHIsh Tank in game Twitch

Pretty slow though. Switching to it after being a scout you notice a difference. Damn, you guys are giving out too much intel :) I'm in the tune of 22 mil sp and every little bit is precious. There are 5 or 6 skills I want to sink sp into. I went into logi lav because I actually repped tanks and dropsuits. Ask me to follow you around some time in scout squad....talk about invulnerability. But I hope I get that sp back for 1.7. Slightly off topic, one game I was trying to rep a friendly tank....he spent the rest of the match "trying to run me over""....it's why we can't have nice things. The grind to 2.8 mil sp for a proto suit is tiring. I'll likely only go adv for a long time besides my trusty gal logi. Which appia is freaking expensive when filled with equipment, 250k on occasion. I'll run as full logi some time for scout squads but I don't want to be the only guy not "scout" be aware that 175hp/s rep tool will do a lot of loving. PHI Recruitment or PHIsh Tank in game Twitch

They also are useless against shields, which considering peoples tendency to armor tank now is probably why you are feeling they are OP. I really like to use AR/SMG builds because the AR strips their shields and the SMG shreds their armor. Normal engagements it takes ~20-30 bullets from AR clip then another 30-40 from SMG to take someone down. Protobears usually take nearly entire clips of both if they are dual tanking.

IgniteableAura Pro Hic Immortalis 377	Posted - 2013.12.03 15:30:00 - [64] - Quote Shotty, I dont think any weapons need more dispersion (cept HMG), more recoil yes, dispersion no. If I shoot in a specific place thats where I want my bullets going, worst thing ever is random bullet spread and a skill that reduces it. Honestly, no guns even have recoil in this game, you can finish an entire clip and your gun doesnt really move up. Dispersion makes the game more luck based than skill based. I am alright with more dispersion while hipfire on AR/ScR but not on SMG. SMG is already a close range weapon and you shouldn't need to ADS to get the cone of fire accurate enough to kill someone in its killbox. They are already such a CQC weapon, which in itself requires most people to hipfire. Outside 20m (ADS range) its only doing 30% damage. I also think it might be a good idea to nerf the movement penalty applied to armor plates, or make it stack more harshly. That could fix the movement speed issues. Especially with med frames. Perhaps make it stack differently depending on suit (light/med/heavy) with the -% being applied more heavily on larger frames. Perhaps remove the % and put in an absolute number...that could fix them. Cause a % of a scouts movement speed is >> than a % of a med frame. Agree on spin scan, the radial output of the scanner is useless when people can do a 360. HAHA do you remember when we used to think you had to keep it "on target" for it to be accurate.

Either they finally fixed the issues with explosive radius dealing full damage at all distances from the center point. Or they got a direct damage nerf. I think they fixed the radius problems. Ive been noticing less grenade kills in the feed and it might also blow back onto MD users and RE users. Proxy mines might be even more effective. The trick with proxy mines is to lay them in a straight line where the driver will run them over, rather than in a large clump. Tanks could usually "stop" before too much damage was taken, now with their high speed it might be impossible to stop in time. You can also lay a freak ton of mines down. So fill up a suit with proxy mines and lay all three types down on the ground. Also lay down remotes of all three types next to them. Think that's something like 50 mines on the road.

I've yet to see a tank with more than 6,000 HP total, in 1.7 It's theoretically doable, but most tankers would use some slots for hardeners and boosters, etc. (FYI: NO more 180mm armor!!) The beautiful thing about REs, is that if you do it right, it's all "alpha" damage. They dont have time to put their hardeners up or anything. If its worth doing, its worth overdoing. Granted its a small chance of hitting a tank with activated hardeners, but you failing to blow it up because you didnt place enough REs on the LAV......thats pretty silly. Just spent 2 extra seconds and ensure that tank is going to die. Even one hardener will double the HP.

Vehicle scans are more pulse related...so you would see a scan attempt every couple seconds. As far as LOS and staying on radar. I've never seen much of a difference between profile and time on radar. If your are in LOS you show up regardless of profile and it seems even if enemy are behind a wall as long as keep their chevron highlighted the dot won't leave. LOS also seems to do with your weapons absolute ranges too...which is silly. Cause that puts shotguns/pistols/knives at a huge disadvantage. PHI Recruitment or PHIsh Tank in game Twitch

I have not done any testing, this is just from EVE experience. Basically eHP /=/ damage done. New racial skills comes as not big surprise that scouts get "forgotten".........again. I hope CCP is nerfing the scanners into the ground a bit, so only GalLogi can use them well. Basically I hope they nerf them so that a proto gal logi gets what a scanners stats is currently.

So if you stack shields and someone is hitting you with CR you have more eHP than if someone shoots you with a AR. Thats why its nice to have a shield weapon and armor weapons (AR/SMG) fitted. Get though shields with AR then switch to SMG once you hit armor. You do 10% more damage this way....a free dmg mod.

Funny how all the gal logi players are saying it's a terrible bonus. I was originally a pro gal logi for PC games only....since scouts are useless in PC games. The reason for the hate is because its not in line with what we originally had. I def understand the annoyance factor involved here though. We lose innate armor repair for a bonus to scanners. The logi bonuses are totally different that what they were originally, which I expected. However, I imagine this will also come with a PG/CPU nerf to keep slayer logis out of the question. Coupled with the loss of innate repair, only the true "logistics" players will use these suits. Im totally fine with all the changes they are doing as long as people are allowed a respec At that rate, I think I will start burning though all my proto gal suits in hopes of a respec, last respec they did not refund any "assets" to the player.

Nobody should be shocked that 1. the logi role bonus is getting changed and 2. there are other slayer-oriented suits coming out. They aren't REMOVING the old logi suits, just finally nerfing it like they did the flaylock. Somebody with eve experience in this matter please weigh in. I dont think people are shocked about the changes, but when you went into a suit for a specific bonus, when they change that it means a great deal to your play style. Losing 25% hack bonus is huge to min logi. Especially if they treated it as a fast scout suit. Now its a repair logi suit. Huge difference there. I think its reasonable to offer a respec for that change. Historically I don't believe EVE players have ever had a respec. If skills are removed they get the SP back, but not if new skills or added or bonuses change. I think this is likely because its MUCH easier to move from one role to another in EVE (couple days) as opposed to Dust were it takes months of grinding. Arkena Wyrnspire wrote: Then there are things like the actual equipment bonuses. You're going to be painted for 36 seconds at 21db in some cases. Scanners on Gallogis are not going to be feasible to avoid without horribly gimping your suit. The others may not affect you very much, but that will be a serious concern. In conclusion - for scouts, the difference will probably not be noticeable. However, we are going to be scanned a lot more. I think this will greatly impact scouts, currently you can avoid an adv scanner with level 5 racial bonus. You wont be able to do that any longer if this bonus holds true and scanners don't get nerfed. The GalLogi bonus will completely negate the scouts role bonus.

WHOA WHOA WHOA there, Scouts are amazing in PC. get gud scrub Seriously, I can't remember the last time my shotgun-scout died without getting at least 1 kill in. Scouts=city dominance in PC doesn't even matter if they're scanned or not- As 2/5 scouts in A.E. don't run dampeners. They are really only marginally more effective on a single socket. One socket. You are better off using other roles than scouts for cities, or you have terrible opponents that can't adapt. Granted this is for minmitar scout. I have no experience in Galscout as I am sure the range bonuses help a lot. But again, it all comes down to the fact you can fit every other suit for a scouts roles with greater HP. And yes, I do need to get gud cause I am in fact a scrublet.... @ IWS I think the heavy bonuses are fine. They need to be "beefy". I like the dmg resistance bonuses. I want them to be walking tanks and need coordination to take down. Blast dmg reduction also good because they can't "move" away from explosions. BUT......they need their turn speed capped again.

If more of the HP is in armor than shields it wont be an issue. Besides is it really that bad that a single remote can't remove a heavy entirely? I don't think its a huge deal. I get real tired of the single OHK weapons like nades, remotes, orbitals, Forges, rails etc Ghost wrote:* Yes. If they are going to be walking tanks, they better not be able to turn and strafe as fast as a scout. If they don't do this to the heavy, I foresee a LOT of AR heavies walking around that will be almost impossible to take down. Meh, I don't know what the plan is with heavys and HMGs. It really seems odd they are not getting a bonus to a heavy weapon. Especially when rifles are so much better in terms of flexibility; I agree with that sentiment. Perhaps they need to restrict "H" slots to heavy weapons only. I think some people fail to see that the resistance bonuses are only effective against a single weapon type. So it won't help in all situations. PHI Recruitment or PHIsh Tank in game Twitch

There is still a lot of missing information thats really necessary to understand its true potential here. Especially how much "shimmer" and whats actually visible. The bonused scout might be far better off with a NK dmg bonus. Even without a NK dmg bonus they will be the kings of NK. Totally unseen and being able to move around unseen while cloaked, charged blades ready. Secondly, confrimed its an equipment. Here is to hoping scouts get an extra equipment slot. Also here is to hoping that other frames get a PG/CPU nerf, otherwise everyone will be using them. Lastly, if shimmer is based on movement speed, scouts will be the most effected, so it might actually be worse for scouts than medium frames.

Even if you're decloaked on firing, if you're firing as you decloak it's very strong. t. Just because you are cloaked wont give someone "headshot aim" I really dont think it will be all that effective. The shimmer will be totally obvious unless on a scout that has the shimmer bonus. People are making mountains out of mole hills. The big benefit will be lack of chevron, tacnet and no health bars. It will be a hit and run tactic.

These things aren't even out and I have never seen so much ridiculousness surrounding one piece of equipment. People who already run only proto would use them with no issue.

It strikes me odd that a tank in some cases could have costed more than a frigate (pre 1.7) yet the frigate is around 100m in length or more with better technology, larger guns, and even having to buy ammo and more complex modules. As much as Sabrewolf makes a solid point I wouldn't be too discouraged, I doubt CCP will be willing to make cloaks double to costs of current scout load outs. And yet, we have tanks that cost less than assault rifles? There are no disparities, the cost that is in eve, is the same cost in dust man. We are on the same server, same market, except its all NPC seeded. I really hold no hope left for the cloak.

I suspected it was part of how they changed the arc, or whatever they did to fix detection. interesting. I suspect that is a bug in the way kill distance is reported, then. (although I confess that was also how I was thinking I got SG'd to death from 8m) Particularly when reporting distance when both target and attacker are in motion. It's to do with lag in the round trip between attacker, server, and target, for "i killed you" messages. Thats why we can suddenly fall down dead, AFTEr we get around a corner and are supposedly safe from fire. Thought about that as well, it's why I went sniper hunting.

In theory, this is the maximum distance you can be and still hit. Switch to sidearm and check distance readout. But probably the actual swing test is the better test. First test is what I did, then I replicated it on a two more snipers (admittedly in the same match but not a laggy match). It was 3m red each time and they died. Not sure if I missed any variables. Longest kill I have gotten is 2.17m. Ive missed swipes at 1m before. I think its a hitbox thing, NKs have a real hard time hitting scout suits.

Ive only ever had minmitar at level 3 because I just havent had the SP nor the patience to get it to level 5. Until CCP decided to buff scouts I worked on my core skills. Its worked great for knifing without the bonus imo. The walk speed might be an issue, but I usually sprint slice dudes and with cloak they might not even see me in the first place. Having the tacnet lit up for 50m will outweigh the loss of walk speed. Cal is only .2 m/s slower than the minmitar. Cal is the second fastest suit in the game for movement speed, tied with Gal. Added to that I wont ever run armor plates and most other suits likely will. Including Gal and Minmitar. I wore std plates on my mini for a long time with knives.

The walk speed might be an issue, but I usually sprint slice dudes and with cloak they might not even see me in the first place. How often have you actually gone knifing with gallente? The problem is that when you swing, it drops you to walk speed. Given the microscopic effective distance of the knives, that sometimes makes a difference I think. Thats why you jump when sprinting, charge in the air, then slice as you land on top of them. 25% of 200 is 50 more dmg per knife. so 100 less dmg w/o charge. While I think that is nice, I never really felt it was worth the loss of the scan range. Knowing what direction the enemy is facing is a far beter tool to ambush. Couple that with precision and you get to see every suit on the field including all undamp scouts besides gal. Regardless I will likely try it on an alt first to get an idea for it and make my decision from there. PHI Recruitment or PHIsh Tank in game Youtube

The Gallente essentially don't have to run a Dampener. The Caldari essentially don't have to run a Precision Enhancer. Now you consider the Amarrian bonus. We're the slowest scout, our bonus doesn't even kick in until we hit that threshold where the other scouts are incapable of running, which at base level is about 2 seconds longer than the rest. So now you are trying to argue that a feature the is a basic racial component of the Amarrian combat doctrine like the Minmatar speed, the Caldari shields, and the Gallente Armour should in fact be considered against the bonus the Amarrian suits gets? Not to mention the Gal and Caldari get 2 bonuses. Scan Range Enhancement, and their Dampener and Precision Enhancer, respectively, and the Min gets a Nova Knife Damage bonus. Now consider that the Amarr gets one bonus worth one standard module. Minmatar- One complex Code Breaker, Nova Knife Damage Caldari- Complex Precision Enhancer, and Scan Radius Increase Gallente- Adv Armour Repper, Scan Bonus, and a Complex Profile Dampener Amarr- Standard Cardiac Regulator. How the ** is that fair? Not one person thus far has justified this. Yes we have...its exactly why we think you are now trolling. Stating and restating what you said doesn't change your argument. Continuing to say "its a standard mod" over and over doesn't improve your case for saying its less effective. 25% bonus to hack speed is ** unless you have hacking V and a codebreaker. I bet you can't even notice a tangible difference between 0% and and extra 25%. Its 2 seconds, oh wait, you get to run that much longer... PHI Recruitment or PHIsh Tank in game Youtube

Or even "Amarr already have more stamina inherently so it's fine," which completely neglects the fact that Minmatar also have more hacking speed inherently yet get a bonus to hacking (all scouts get an inherent 5% bonus to hacking except Minmatar which get an inherent 10%.) But you ARE getting more bonuses to your suit man. What is a cal scout with extra range on his scanner but can't pick up even medium frames....useless. Amarr gets plenty of "extras" more hp (87), more stamina(25), faster regen(10) and a racial bonus to stamina. It all adds up to a lot more that what you think.

Its a great way to make their role viable.... And useful. There should be a reason to put sp into making equipmwnt better.

So I'll stick to making my own wine :p Best part about spiced beers, you can always add more spice when it comes out of the tap based on personal preference (its actually much more tasty this way), you can't exactly remove spice (save for letting it sit a really long time) I'm hit and miss on stone....Appia I bet you like "crime and punishment" Mosts kits run about $30-50, which makes 5 gallons. Its very economical if you think about the cost of beer in the store along with % alcohol. Most microbrews come in cases of 6 - 12oz bottles ranging from 7-15$ each. I pay about half that when brewing my own. But then again, I would probably drink half as much if I was buying it haha. I've thought about wine making, but all the grapes I can grow in my region are very very sweet....blech on sweet wine. PHI Recruitment or PHIsh Tank in game Youtube

Does it matter that you might miss out on a few thousand SP? SP isn't even that important at all anyway! What would you be doing if the events had no limits? Would you just be playing 24/7 so you could get the absolute maximum you could out of the time? Why aren't we all just playing for the fun, rather than all the min/max nonsense people put themselves through in Dust? This right here, I like sp as much as the next guy, but I'm not even bothered trying to max it. Hell, I only ever maxed the standard weekly cap once. It has nothing to do with the event but more so that there is a weekly cap. Weekly cap is stupid and it's really the only way ccp makes any money off this game. Sp is very important, or you wouldn't have people paying money for boosters. Not capping makes you half as much sp every week and it adds up fast. Maxing out an event can help lessen that gap. I actually played for a couple hours this week to get some of that extra sp before I finally got tired of dust again and went back to a different game. I looked at the weekly kills on the leader board and only 100people have hit 1500 so far, and that's likely not 100% heavy kills. Events are meant to be completed IMO. It gives a sense of accomplishment. When you can't finish them, you feel like you "missed out" a balance needs to be struck. The scout event was a pretty decent challenge.

I did it on my gal logi by stacking 4 complex reppers and it usually doesnt work very well. You just don't have the buffer. In those sort of situations you usually wanting to play the range game since you take less damage, but since the advent of RR galore. You don't have much choice. I had plenty of deaths where my armor said 35 and was dead, due to being "alphaed" I was much better off stacking adv plates out to 800+ armor and standing on top of a wiki triage hive (RR+3 dmg mods). You end up being a little less mobile, but its almost OP do it on a little hill where your enemies cant kill your hive. Its actually how I usually counter snipe as well, except I toss down 2 wiki triage hives and an alloteck for 180hp/s regen. The changes in TTK may improve active tanking however, so we might have to test again post 1.8. Improvements to shield recharge are also usually not worth it IMO. 20% doesn't usually change the speed with which your delay actually improves. Remember, Dust rounds, (& there are server ticks) so if you can't get it above/below a specific threshold its not going to provide ANY benefit. For shield tanking suits, you are normally better off with a little more buffer/speed. I never use reactive as I don't think it has much advantage compared to the single mods.

I've noticed alot of people complaining in general about wanting to spec out of heavies but being forced to keep their heavy weapon. I expect once the additional weapons are released they'll get the chance to change over. No point doing it now. If its not happening now, it never will. This new patch changes so many things. It touches every single skill in the infantry skill tree and they don't have the decency to provide a respec like they did for the vehicle users. To be fair, Its not really going to "affect" me. Which I think is the reasoning behind partial respec, people can "live with it" even though its not ideal. I bet the majority of dust players will see less than 3mil sp given back them and most likely won't even be able to use their intended role for months. Remember to even get a single proto suit it requires ~3mil SP to invest. IF there is a decent showing this weekend it could help people out. But I am pretty sure the community will have a hard time reaching even 500k kills lets alone 1 mil. It also pretty much requires you to buy an omega booster. But I can pretty much guarantee that a lot of individuals will play 10 games of spambush on all their alts and just be done. They really need to take a page out of warframe, which is what I have been play on PC a lot now.

So even if you have 17.01 your dB is still 18. I can't remember seeing this before... are you sure? FYI currently a Gk.0 with 4x C.P.D.s lands close to 14.2 and is not detected by the focused scanner (15), but if you want to check grab two suits with the same dB of precision enhancement and profile dampening and check if they can see each other on the tac net. I suppose its based on assumption from EVE. Those sorts of decimal numbers get rounded up. But perhaps its more based on server ticks. Which precision wouldn't be effected. So something like hack speed won't matter if you cant' get it below 2, you will always hack in 3 seconds (server ticks). Which explains why it "looks" like you finished hacking if you die at a console and it doesn't actually finish. IF CCP would share the tick rate that would be nice. Suppose this is something that needs to be either confirmed via dev/CPM or through our own experiments. Also it may round to the nearest integer rather than just up which I have learned from EVE.

It ruins the stealth play of the scout. You can stay cloaked incredibly long. Agree on the shimmer vs. movement. Its usually full shimmer or no shimmer. 1 bullet/100hp change in TTK is not enough IMO to cause an impact in optimal weapon ranges. Outside those ranges it is obvious.

I didn't say anything because I figured it's just me misunderstanding how applicable the shotgun would have actually been in those situations. Well often times I feel the shotgun just doesn't perform well after that first shot. Targets usually die instantly or they start hopping around like a bunny/backpedal. SMG, especially with its armor bonus and longer range make it an excellent addition to the shotgun. Its somewhat heat of the moment decision. When shooting that heavy in the stairwell I should have switched to SMG sooner, but he was well within optimal range of the shotgun, so I kept going until he got into armor. 90% of the time, once I get past shields I switch to SMG PHI Recruitment or PHIsh Tank in game Youtube

Extra melee damage? Extra knife damage? Both I found to be superfluous, I ran a level 3 minmitar scout and never had a problem with knives. Melee takes away a huge chunk of stamina each time and it really makes it much more difficult to be mobile. I always found melee in Dust to be comical at best, you could spray with your SMG or swipe with your knives and be much more effective. Knives do more damage, have longer range, AND don't require stamina. The gal has a little extra hp. The cost is easily managed by also switching to a six kin. Hacking better by a factor of 0.15 is not noticeable due to server ticks. Granted the extra movement is nice, its not outmatched by the 7.5 extra meters of passive scanning. In fact we would be better off removing the stamina and swapping out for complex range, then you can see for days ~50m and hack pretty much "risk free" Like I was saying the minimitar just doesn't have the bonuses to make it competitive. I would consider it "hard mode" when its not necessary. Kudos for running with it man, but it still needs some PG buffs to make it worth spending SP into.

IgniteableAura Pro Hic Immortalis 809	Posted - 2014.04.03 20:49:00 - [211] - Quote I seriously don't understand the complaining about the decloak delay and shotguns. You would have died anyway, no amount of "delay" will make it any less effective at point blank range. If a shotgun is one shotting you, even without a cloak you are too late. A delay won't change that situation.....AT ALL. I understand the situation where people start shooting a cloaked scout and the cloaked scout starts shooting back, but seriously why do they need a delay to shoot? It will only cause people to not use the cloak. People are just wanting an "I win button" if they find a cloaked scout. Its not hard to find/see/shoot cloaked dudes. Chances are if you are shooting a cloaked scout then they could have already killed you. They are usually a PRIORITY target. It draws attention to you more than if you didn't use it. People rarely point out that there is a "SCOUT!" on an objective. Get someone cloaked and everyone in the squad is hunting them. Scanners are still really useful for lighting up everything but a scout. Most people complain about scouts being invisible, but no one wants to utilize the counters that CCP has included into the game to beat them. Its "brick tank" or go home. Something thats a different issue entirely. @Marauder, I stopped putting SP into pretty much anything for fear of the constant nerf train that I see inbound any day now. I will continue to focus on core skills as I doubt those skills will get nerfed. Weapon SPs are hardly worth it after ADV or even basic tier. I find you are far better off switching to a weapon that suits a given map then spend a ton of SP "min/maxing" The nerf bat will continue to fall, better to have another fallback then be reliant on a single weapon platform.

A scout needs that bonus to remain hidden from cal scout scans. ... I find that post disingeuous at best, and hypocritical at worst. You seem to be implying, "oh, it's terrible to give caldari scout a benefit over other scouts", but you have no problem, I presume, with gallente scout having a stealth bonus over other scouts? Yeahhh.. no. Get rid of profile damping in cloaks . So then both gallente, AND caldari, will have their niches. (and logis can quit pretending to be scouts) If we remove the damp bonus it nerfs everything but the GAL scout. Then no scout has much of an option against prototype scanners and cal scout. There is no balance there, there are no counters. ITS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE UNSEEN. Thats also IMO should be the final counter; to be unseen. All other scouts would need to completely nerf their fit just so they aren't seen on the radar. Seeing other people on the radar is a huge benefit. HUGE. Its why there is so much damn complaining about the scanner changes and how scouts are "OP" Remove the Cloak bonus and you get a whole host of other problems. It would actually be nice if they could modify the bonus to apply as the shimmer does (the more speed the more profile) but that is probably unlikely, but perhaps the best solution. Scouts: To throw out some numbers, without the profile bonus all other scouts (w/o damp) besides GAL will be passively seen with a CAL scout without any precision mods. A Cal scout with 1 cPE will be able to see all scouts (w/o damp) To combat this, Gal scout will need to fit at least a basic damp and all other scouts will need to fit at least two damps. A CAL scout with 3 cPE is pretty much uncounterable except by using 4 damps or GAL scout. Med Frames: Can fit 2cPE and pick up nonGAL scouts without damps. Scanners: nonGAL would need to fit at least 2 damps to avoid GAL-logi proto scans and 4 damps to avoid focused GALlogi scans. So TL:DR on removing damp bonus -Creates another "permascanned" environment for nonGALscouts. -Makes the GAL scout even more powerful (unseen > seeing) -Ruins the counter/counter environment for healthy balance -The problem with cloak is being able to fire before fully visible. Im a cal scout, so go ahead and advocate for the damp bonus, I will have a freaking hayday with all of the scouts not running >3 damps, as you simply won't have a counter to avoid the passive scans.

Still having the least amount of HP usually gets you killed before that stuff can work well. I don't find energizers worth the CPU to fit on a scout. Better off with more buffer. Secondly, scouts have a pretty high recharge rate, most of the time refilling 1/2 to 1/4 each pulse. Filling it another 10hp/s isn't worth it IMO. Stacking two energizers (if you can even fit them) might be nice if you could couple with regulators, but then again, you are likely to just instantly die and never take advantage of recharge. Enh regulators I think give the best bang for buck. Cal sentinals are the best frames from energizers and regulators as they already have a huge buffer and low delay rate.

In order for them to even be remotely useful they need to have a decent bonus, or the only frames using them will be heavys. If the bonus is high enough for med frames to use them, then heavys will be OP if they stack plates. Regardless of stack penalty as that will be negated as higher and higher percentages stack on top of one another. Gal sent has base 1143 hp. Add even 60% on top of that with stacked mods and you have sentinels with >2000hp. Talk about brick tank. Add the skill bonuses and they won't ever go down. Percentage mods are a different beast as they can easily overcome the stacking penalty on heavy frames. Honestly they need % based armor and shield mods as well as absolute. The heavy frames can utilize the %based far better while the lighter frames can use the absolute mods. That would give CCP much more balancing power. PHI Recruitment or PHIsh Tank in game Youtube

It happens ALLLL the time. Tell CCP to play their damn game. Why cant CCP create a server along with a scout with 10000hp and fast movement speed (11m/s) and test it themselves.

(the falloff/RoF just exacerbates its DPS advantage) It really has nothing to do with skilled use. Its spam the trigger=profit. I have stopped skilling into the weapons, I honestly don't think it provides hardly a benefit at all. I think I have 3 proto weapons and all the rest are advanced. I spent several million into the AR and I wish I had all that back. It would be the same with all the other rifles. The only benefit to skilling the weapon is the fitting reductions after PROF IV, but its hardly worth the SP. Better off downgrading a single piece of equipment/grenade than dumping 2mil SP into a weapon for 2PG reduction. (however I did notice a slight improvement in the shotgun after I got operation v) Supposed I am jaded as I have <100 kills with proto weapons. They just don't provide enough for their costs (fitting/isk/sp). The one benefit to proto weapons is their range. Usually 10m extra from basic to proto. If I have to choose between fitting a complex armor plate and a proto weapon....complex armor plate EVERY TIME. Suppose Appia would be a better judge to if its worth it......Miss I have 15 proto weapons and 5mil SP sitting in the bank Youtube

I don't understand why it would be a good sidearm if you can only win fights if its already "in your favor" thats pretty much every weapon. Engage first and you win. At least with other weapons you can engage second and still come out ahead. Once CCP fixes the range issue I think bolt pistol will have a place, currently its pretty poor. Why ever use the bolt pistol? Because us scouts like the challenge of using UP stuff. Youtube

But the extra SP allows you to venture outside of that. Gives you more flexibility. EX: Getting perma scanned in your winmitar scout, switch to Gal and stay off the radar. A grand majority of my SP is into dropsuit command and upgrades. very little is in weapons, none in vehicles. I feel adv weapons allow me pretty great benefits while still providing a great challenge. Plus CCP tends to nerf and buff so harshly, I would rather be future proof and omnispec things with the remaining SP I earn. I likely won't get many other things prototype for quite some time. A little bit of everything at advanced allows me to have a WHOLE lot more fun, instead of forcing myself into a single role. Ick, 8.5 weeks for 3mil. I really do think CCP has a problem with the SP accrual rate. Events are great, but we shouldn't rely on events to progress at a reasonable pace through the game. Youtube

Once more people figure this out, I would expect this to become the standard, rather than a rarity. Amarr Heavy+Cal Scout = Win. (Some people are probably going to want to bring up a certain unmentionable race's heavy suit to pair with the CalScout. I think that would be a problem when the 'team' keeps trying to kill each other more than the enemy... ) While its a great way to do it in pub matches, your scout will not only get shredded, it won't have the PG/CPU to run the proto tools that are required. The core focus is about the only tool to use in competitive games. A scout is great to have in every squad for its shared passives. But linking it to a heavy that is there to defend a point is a terrible idea for competitive games. A scout also has to then choose between the next best piece of equipment. While a logi gets the ability to run nanos/hives/injector. A scout can never replace a logi. Yay for having two EQ slots, but its just not a very effective way to "logi" Youtube

Someone said in GD that they want scouts to "Scout" I agree with this, but said it would require some sweeping changes, as you would move into a strictly support role, with limited offensive capabilities. Here is the link to the post Highlights for those who don't want to read: Slot layout becomes 2 sidearms, no grenade. Shared Passive scans with the Team. WP for each kill made from your passive scans LOS scans are shared with squad. No WP for these. Cloak takes 3 seconds to cloak or decloak. You can run while this happens. You cannot switch weapons out of it. Cloak keeps its dampening bonus. Skill changes to cloak skill, includes bonus to reduce decloak time by 5% per level. This amounts to 3/4 of a second off cloaking (or de-cloaking). If you factor in both sides, this is 1.5 seconds, which makes it a worth investment. If these highlights intrigue you, read the post. The scouts of today need to remain as is. Tiered specialization can happen in this route, but I doubt game mechanics could be changed in such a fashion. (WP for shared passive scans). Secondly that scout needs tweaks: It should be based off minmitar scout currently, bonuses to hacking, movement, knives, with the addition of great innate stats. Like all T2 versions in EVE, a real specialization role for "scouting" but also come at increased cost. Forcing a sidearm only restriction would be nice, but nades are important to remove EQ on the field, which a "scout" could put into their resume. Being unable to switch to weapons is not the answer, forcing someone to wait to fire before full decloaked is the answer. It will just fuddle up the switch from cloak to visible. Ive tried manually decloaking and its a CHORE at best to hit the right equipment even with only 2 EQ slots. Youtube

So anything they do right now will just be nerf bats to stifle the bleeding. Gal changes could have been worse, its only requiring gals to use 1 more slot to damp. The sad part is, the scanning system no longer favors gal very well. The only reason to play a gal anymore now is to remain totally hidden in event of a proto focused logi scan spammer. OR to slayer fit. It won't really change a damn thing IMO. It will frustrate those scouts who didn't run them as slayer fits however. Lastly....5% scan radius is a frakin joke. Totally useless. PS: Rattai wanted "focused stealth builds to utilize cloak" but makes it so the GAL has no reason to use it. I found that really funny. PS2: I constantly get shield flashes with the shotgun, so I stopped using it and have been sole on CR since; CR is > shotgun. Youtube

I still don't know if I like him, but I believe he wants Dust/Legion to get better/succeed. I remember playing against Zion in the early days of PC, always brought their A game. They taught us some really good strats and were a pain to fight. We could clone them, but they would get us on MCC. Zion also might play on Alts, which I would imagine Appia has about 10x more kills/WP/etc than that table alone shows. I think the CPM needs great diversity and people who are willing to take on roles that will communicate with the community. Thats something Shad already does, so I think he deserves a place on CPM as long as he continues to communicate with us about Dust/Legion future. (I remember readings Hans blog but he stopped and had very infrequent posts) We really need someone who can communicate with us on CCPs progress and hold them accountable. Youtube

All cloaked dudes I can pretty much see no problem, or they have chevrons on their head. Makes cloaked logis reaaallllly funny. The sad part, I've stopped running ewar on my cal scout as its just not as useful. I am better off throwing plates and shield extenders on. (we totally didn't see that coming) In my experience I can usually flip around and instablap scouts that are sneaky since they need to fit so many damps to remain hidden. One or two bursts from CR and they are dead. Tanks: Still seeing a lot of them, blasters still seem to "hit me enough" that I die pretty much when they see me. I have killed quite a few with proxys and my PLC. You have to babysit your proxys so that you can toss nades and a hit with the PLC to get a kill however. So thats ~6 proxys, 2 nades and a PLC to take out a single tank. Still pretty broken IMO. When using proxys, put them in a straight line and not all on top of one another. Most tanks are rolling around so fast they can't stop and will hit all your mines in succession. When they are all packed together they tend to not do full damage. It will be interesting to see how things progress, I am curious what will be in "Bravo" Youtube

YES, they are "scouts" but currently one of the best ways to counter a "scanning calscout" is to pick it up on the radar.

I just don't have the "desire" anymore to help CCP. I mean seriously "we didn't realize proficiency changes/resistances were applied to AV weapons" facepalm its only be documented a dozen times.

I think it's important to remember that it's not just scouts the Warden is sharing passive scans of. It's everyone. He still has that basic utility in squad. But if he wants to see all those other scouts (whose entire intended role is to be stealthy) he should have to make sacrifices for it. Else the Warden simply negates the role of all other scouts by virtue of existing (the way it basically is now which most of us agree is bad, I think). @Appia: I usually agree with everything you post, but on this one I gotta say, One scout can't be best at all the things =/ Look at the table and tell me why you would use a cal over any other scout suit for scanning. The ONlY utility it has is picking up scouts that have active cloak. @shotty How is a warden keeping scouts honest when regular scouts can do the same? Damps have no effect on non warden fits before 3+ enhancers. Youtube
IgniteableAura The Last of DusT. General Tso's Alliance 1226	Posted - 2014.06.13 17:18:00 - [303] - Quote haha you guys crack me up. Don't worry about numbers right now because the thought alone tells you its impossible. Premise: We want all scouts to have some form of immunity to scans. We want cal and gal to be warden and spook Fallacy: Warden and spook cannot exist in that situation if other scouts can stay hidden. Warden and spooks have no utility if the other scouts can perform those roles just as easily. Example: Warden fits two complex precision enhancers. Minmitar fits two complex precision enhancers. Based on gino, they both have such similar precision that it provides no utility to the cal. Why utilize the cal when the minmitar can do it just as easily and has other role bonuses to utilize? Example: Gal fits two complex damps. Warden fits two complex damps. Both have such similar profiles that having the Gal bonus provides no "real" benefit. As long as we keep the premise of all scouts can be hidden from tacnet we will never reach equilibrium. The numbers are also showing that. This is exactly why the cloak is such an important part of the equation (allows non-gal, to have wave of opportunity without too much overlap). Perhaps its better if gal scouts don't get a cloak fitting bonus. That way the cloak can go back to the original 25% bonus. Youtube
IgniteableAura The Last of DusT. General Tso's Alliance 1227	Posted - 2014.06.13 18:41:00 - [304] - Quote Adipem Nothi wrote: @ Iggy Makes sense. If we swapped out Gallente damp bonus for a range bonus, couldn't we tone down the Cal's precision? It won't matter how we tune the precision. At the end of the day we need each scout to perform a role. If cal/gal are supposed to counter one another, the other two scouts cant really take part in that equation or we break the whole system. We would need to drop the whole idea of gals being the sneaky ones and allow all scouts to sneak. It would help the situation if thats what we want out of scouts. The precision bonuses can be tweaked for the caldari as innate and give each scout roles that align to a role. Scan range would need to stay on Cal but allow all other scouts to sacrifice one additional slot to stay hidden then cals. Allow the final counter to "remain hidden" with the use of cloak. My reasoning is that the best situation is to stay hidden, so therefore the person staying hidden should be the one sacrificing more, not the same. To stay hidden means they have the advantage = they should sacrifice more. The biggest issue relates to low slot count vs high slot count as minmitar couldn't stay hidden from a 4cPE cal under those guidelines above. The whole system is FUBAR currently, there is no elegant solution. Youtube
IgniteableAura Pro Hic Immortalis 1235	Posted - 2014.06.14 15:22:00 - [305] - Quote Wow monk, you have some catching up to do buddy :) @Varoth IMO no bonuses should correlate to use of cloak. Its nearly impossible to use cloak if you are not at level 5 scout suit, meaning most people that aren't already skilled into it won't likely do it. Secondly, scouts shouldn't get weapon bonuses because they shouldn't be frontlining. The scanning mechanics are what is keeping the Cal scouts as slayers, something that has been of heated debate. They can utilize the passive scans to see most of the battlefield. It has almost nothing to do with their regen/delay (shields on scouts haven't been tweaked in a long time). Sadly, a majority of the fixes that solve the issue are client side changes; meaning they won't be done. Honestly, CCP just needs to buff assaults.............THEN they can worry about nerfing scouts again. Amarr assaults have very good bonuses and it should be a cornerstone for the rest of the assault class. Youtube

The argument was role playing vs competitive shooter It was more based on muscle memory. All the frames had different turn speeds. Not just heavy. I would swap between all three frames in chrome and it was very frustrating to swap. Thats the only issue I see with changing the speed caps. Its really difficult to relearn how to aim. Go from 100 sensitivity down to 20 in a single game and notice how difficult it gets. Having a single frame turn slower like a heavy probably wouldnt be too bad as long as dispersion was increased on the HMG. ITs still way too accurate. You don't need fine aiming if you have an HMG with decent dispersion as well as slow turn speed. You don't need to be accurate, aka have fine turning like you would with a rifle.

It will require 1+ precision enhancer to detect a dampened gal scout. A balanced solution needs to rely on cloak. So a 1:1 module fitting then a cloak to remain hidden. What is the better advantage, staying hidden or being able to see? We all agree that staying hidden is more powerful. That is the reason why the hidden should have the final sacrifice and stay hidden with cloak. 45m range is not enough for tac net. 45m is within optimal range on nearly every weapon in the game. With current proposal you will get cal scouts running full tank mods and running as a medium frame killer. Which is not what we want for that role. Gal should not be getting range bonuses. It steps on the toes of the Cal frame. IT allows the Gal to become the hunter. Throw on two precision mods and the cal can't dampen past that. While the Gal can dampen right through and hunt the hunter. Which should never happen. There is a damn good reason why scouts hate caldari scouts....cal scouts are there to hunt them. Thats their role. Don't break that role just so the meta is go GAL or go home. (Gal will have 80m passive tac net and pick up all frames that don't have at least one damp, all the while having a huge armor tank.) Minja Change biotic efficiency to fitting bonus (5% per level). Running any faster than 11.1 will break the game. CCP won't be on board with a speed increase. Fitting bonus will give them more PG freedom. Amarr If all other suits are getting module bonuses, so does that Amarr scout for consistency reasons. Lastly cloak needs to be useful on all tiers of a scout, not just someone who has racial V. All cloak bonuses should be role bonuses. Youtube

It steps on the toes of the Cal frame. IT allows the Gal to become the hunter. Throw on two precision mods and the cal can't dampen past that. While the Gal can dampen right through and hunt the hunter. Which should never happen. Need an alternate bonus for Gal which meets the following criteria: (1) will not be weaponry related (2) will not be armor or armor repair related (3) will not be cloak related (4) will augment a low slot module (5) will be sufficient to incentivize not running plates Go! Also, I think "the ability to see" is more valuable than "the ability to be unseen". While the latter is favorable when solo, the former is often multiplied by a factor of 6. I will think on it. But Gal is supposed to be the sneaky one, not the scanner. I reallllly wish passive scanning could be hotfixed to not be shared. Whats so difficult about a client side fix that changes shared passive scans to "off" I also don't think Ratati will iterate on profile/precision as he already did a pass on them. The Cal/Gal train already left the station. I think we need to focus on making minja and amarr better. But again, remaining hidden just can't happen on any other suit than a gal, otherwise it breaks the cal scout entirely. If this plan gets passed as is, I won't be upset, I will instead start running my GAL instead of the CAL for my scanning purposes. It will provide a much better scanner. People will see Gal and will assume they don't need to run damps. Why can't it be armor repair related? Nerf the **** out of its shield repair and give it bonus to fitting armor repair mods. That way it has to choose between armor repair, buffer or damps. Youtube

That is the reason why the hidden should have the final sacrifice and stay hidden with cloak. I highly disagree with this. The cloak should not be brought in when considering Passive's. The cloak should be balanced as an active dampener against the active scanner. I really like that logic That would require client side fix. What changed your minds? Remember when cloak provided real damp power. Thats what made the minja usable. 1. The cloak is entirely useless if fit for "visual camo" its just not very good at it. 2. The cloak is only useful at racial level 5. 3. Cloak is the least effective use of an equipment slot. I've entirely stopped running cloak after the hotfix. Its not worth the PG/CPU. Youtube

Rattati himself classified the modules as lesser used. I see where you guys are coming from, and I agree that MinScouts need a MinScout-specific buff.

Because the thread specifically states minja buffs. CCP will see it as a minja buff and be done with it. I don't want that to happen. The past shows there is one iteration and it lasts for many months (whole reason for this thread). You get one chance to improve it, I don't want a half attempt to improve minjas when its going to improve all the other frames instead. None of my other suits need more PG to fit kincats, only my minja. I will take the the buff if thats what CCP wants to do, but its not a buff to minjas. @Appia. There is too much role spillover right now. Its because some things are too easy to fit. Just because something isn't being utilized "a lot" doesn't mean its not being fit. People don't fit codebreakers because it does nothing to their effectiveness in battle. People don't fit kincats because speed tanking died a long time ago. It has very little to do with the PG/CPU requirements. The lack of codebreakers and kincats is also due to the fact that its a HUGE SP sink to get them and the prototype version is far superior to their lower meta level variants. Also codebreakers don't show you how much faster you will hack. Yet another reason they are not fit. I have one suit with codebreakers. Its a min scout thats built only for retaking objectives when being redlined or its a close game. Once I hack the point I switch to a different suit as the codebreakers are no longer useful. I would say drop uplinks are used the least out of all the equipment, does that mean we need to lower their requirements too? My Youtube Biomassed Podcast

When running against cal scouts look at their shields. It will tell you exactly how many PEs they are running and that in turn allows you to damp to that dB level. The changes to shield extenders and skills shouldn't make too big of an impact as long as you take into account the +/- 25hp. A quick check depends on if they are running proto or adv. Assumption is running prototype Shield value +/- 25hps <200 - 4PE ~250 - 3 PE ~300 - 2 PE ~380 - 1 PE >400 - 0 PE For adv you can use the same numbers but reduce the number of PEs by one.

I really don't mind the bonuses to mods, but at the end of the day it needs to give a bonus thats actually worth fitting. I defer to Mathpia, Haerritmitc to give us numbers. EX: dual precision mod cal can't detect anything better than a dual precision mod min/amarr/gal. Yes I will keep repeating myself because it continues to come up over and over again. I just don't want Ratati to totally neuter the warden. Requiring the scout roles to fit mods to get the bonus is in stark contrast to the rest of the frame bonuses, and I REAAALLLLY don't like that. HOWEVER, if thats what is required to make scouts balanced and get the FOTM crowd out of the scout roles, I am fine with that. The only way I can see a solid balance is that if gal/cal have same number of precision/damp gal stays hidden.

We really want EWAR to be less binary, so I want to play with bonuses so that a dedicated scout with all slots, can evade even the best precision, but only while cloaked, but the gallente would retain the ability to be unscannable out of cloak. The numbers in the document are just something I was playing around with last night while proof reading the calculations, but they should be correct. Let's iterate on this over the weekend and early next week and see if we can't make it a little better then "ok". EWAR Calculations I think the precision bonuses are too high. For amarr that means if they have even a single precision, all non-gal would need 3 damps to counter. Which is way too much. Leave the cal as the scout hunter. Change the amarr to long range low precision scans. Don't give it any precision bonuses, just the range. This allows the cal to become a more balanced 1:1 ratio for eWAR counters. We can make it "pretty" by tweaking base suit numbers if we need to, I don't know why CCP has shied away from that, it might be the only way to create a well balance eWAR system.

We can also reduce the dampening bonus of the cloak to zero. From a "I want all scouts to be unscannable in some way even by sacrificing all slots and cloak" point of view, I think we need to have that discussion. I think we can tune these numbers to an acceptable resolution. It also removes the waves of opportunity discussion, such as Minja activating cloak to bypass the resident precision scanner at objective. The balance needs to lie in that equal number of mods need to be fit to counter. One can fit one less if they are using a cloak on GAL. So 1:1 ratio plus cloak gets you under scan. For GAL its n-1. So a 4cPE wont see a 4cPE w/cloak. I think the problem in lies that the Caldari has 4 precision slots. Having the amarr only be able to fit 2 precision mods might allow you to keep the 1:1 ratio, but that means the GAL then has a "can eat cake too" sort of bonus with so many low slots. I honestly don't know how you can make it "elegant" without an entire rework or modifying the base stats.

I have documented all the necessary and relevant scenarios, I hope. At the top of the document, I have collected the key numbers and tried to put them into perspective. Galogi focused scanner gets the highest range and precision possible, due to it being 1) active, 2) narrow and 3) having a limited duration. This helps establish boundaries that scouts need to live within. That said, by a combination of racial bonuses and dedication of slots All scouts can have similar range, 76m to 91, under the Focused at 100m. All scouts can get under the focused dB by using a cloak, exception Gallente not needing cloak All scouts can get under the best passive by using 2 dampeners and cloak or 3 dampeners Best passive at 2 precision modules is beaten by best dampener at 2 dampening modules This does not require Codebreakers to be in high, so don't assume that is the case. Now, please give me feedback and theorycraft with me the most OP FOTM this will spawn, and we will try to counter it. EWAR calculations Please keep this discussion very focused, don't discuss scan falloff or efficacies, just the numbers in the document and resulting scenarios. Thanks and appreciated. This sounds great, however from my experience dB numbers always round up and ties go to the scanner. So that 18.1 with cloak would round up to 19. Also all those 18dB numbers would be detected by a 2cPE amarr scout. So Cal/Min scout won't be able to "hide" with 2 damps like your statement above describes. Please change two things as well: 1. Give scouts a cloak role bonus instead of per level bonus. 2. Give the damp bonus cloaks have to all tiers of cloak, otherwise people can only damp with protosuits and protocloak. Cavats: GAL scouts can only fit a single damp, cloak, brick tanked and invisible to scans. Lets hope there are some armor penalties that are "down the road" Passive scans need to no longer be shared.

There was some confusing things to start, but it all ironed out pretty quickly once you got into the game a little bit. I did find it funny that during the "tutorial" they didn't tell you a damn thing. No button maps, no how to switch weapons etc. I found it quite odd. Plus you can't exactly pause the game, so I had to run and hide to look at the controller map in order to go though the first engagement. To be fair, I really hope CCP doesn't even use the guts of dust to create legion. Because there are too many broken things. Starting fresh was really the best option. If legion is the same, its their own damn fault. If there is one thing I hope they get right, its the shooting mechanics and movement. That means not getting stuck on things, or hit detection issues.

If you compare the CR vs the HMG, which both was done by the same person (reducing bias) he made 10% more kills. I can spot several under performing weapons on that list. Just look at it.

I have a hard time killing backpedaling heavys currently. Which would mean assaults would still be nigh impossible to attain optimal range before you are dead. Shotty would you mind calculating it for minja speeds @ 5.65. Its the suit most people will be using for knifing. The "catch up" speed isn't so absolute with other weapons, aka you need that full 3 seconds to reach your target to apply damage. 3 seconds against any fine rifle will mean dead scout. Actually I think CCP should just "ninja nerf" backpedal speed and see if anyone actually notices. @ NK PG skill I won't skill it past level 2.

IgniteableAura Pro Hic Immortalis 1539	Posted - 2014.08.10 04:35:00 - [387] - Quote I honestly have a hard time speaking on swarms until I see the changes in Charlie. Currently swarms arent much of a threat. Swarms IMO should cause much more panic to an pilot than any other av. Simple because swarms are AV only. Its the only weapon you can't utilize for infantry killing. They should have the highest DPS. If a fully AV kitted winmitar sentinal catches a pilot with his pants down it should be game over for the pilot. Currently that's not the case. The best case scenario for swarms usually ends up with the pilot escaping. At the end of the day swarms are the highest risk. So should provide the greatest av potential. Risk because they are AV only, very limited range, require a lock, giant beacon for the pilot and infantry wanting a "free" kill. My Youtube Biomassed Podcast

I only say that because if you ask someone how to balance and they don't know the intricacies of the role, they introduce kinks. For example look at how many iterations it took to get scouts closer to balance. Having rattati talk to the experts in the shop allowed us to ensure that all scout could remain under the radar. I don't think someone without the experience playing them would understand why that's important. Don't get me wrong I understand what you are saying. Subjective viewpoints are important.

Remove all ewar based bonus from racial skills. All meta levels of cloak drop dB to 14. And remove you from tac net when active. Role bonus: 95% bonus to cloak fitting Racial bonus: Amarr: 20% to armor repair rate while cloaked. Gal: 10% bonus to cloak duration, 20% bonus to hack speed while cloaked. Cal: % bonus to precision while cloaked(whatever number is required to hit 14dB) not shared with squad. Minja: Same NK bonuses and 10% bonus to walk/sprint speed while cloaked. Above proposal allows several things. Wave of opportunity with cloak including precision. Loss of slot keeps scouts into glass cannon role, get in, and gtfo. New skills would allow each scout to excel in its role. Please punch holes. I don't think we can balance with the current ewar model so lets just stop debating it. I'm tired of being forced to run damps to remain viable on the field. Truth is, I think requiring cloak is the best way to implement scout bonuses. I don't care what appia says.

Completely remove the visual cloak, instead think of it as an active equipment you need to have on in order for your skill bonus to work. Then think about my proposal. 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.

Scouts can currently do that just fine. There passive skills remain superior in every way. You don't have to fit cloak, do to fit cloak, but you can't use your skill bonus with out it. It's no different than any other suit bonus in this game. You just don't want to use cloak because "reasons". Because you feel it hamstrings you into a role, but guess what, heavys have a bonus to fitting heavy weapons, sentinels have bonuses to light weapons. They can fit whatever they want, but they won't be a good if they fit the racial weapons. Same thing goes. You can fit whatever you want. No "shoving down throat". If I wanted that, it would require a cloak to be fitting before you could deploy. You are failing to think critically and instead spewing asinine comments.

See how well it performs and see if you feel its overpowered. To further clarify. I completely stopped using the shotgun because it was consistent. I got really frustrated because you could point blank fire at someone and they wouldn't take damage. I've made videos showcasing it before. If I have a shotgun and a PLC on a load out and I see a heavy or medium frame over 500hp. I use the PLC. Anything over 500hp will take at minimum 2 shots go kill.

For the TAC, more accurate during follow up shots, less recoil etc so you have to land multiple shots in quickly The charge would be something that OHKs suits under 600hp with a headshot?

I come back on the forums and have like 7000 notifications. What's changed since I've been gone? EVERYTHING! @Rattati, Is there any chance that you can create coding with a hotfix that allows a sniper to strafe while crouched and not cause the sniper to sway, but will still sway when standing? I understand the desire to not create a quickscope pandemic, but forcing people to crouch while sniping doesn't seem like a huge burdon to remove scope sway. I stopped sniping entirely when I couldn't strafe to fine tune my aim without the scope swaying all over the place. KB/M was far superior way to sniper BTW, it allows for much greater precision. In chrome I would actually change inputs mid-match if I needed to counter-snipe. TBH, I feel like we have had this conversation before........... My Youtube Biomassed Podcast

What in your mind would be an acceptable ( I still do not want to see 'No Scopping' to be a thing) delay between move/scope to max stability on the tactical? edit Also ADV and Basic Charge rifle thoughts? Should I push for it? we had them before. Quick scoping won't be an issue on the tactical variant because you shouldn't be able to OHK without a headshot on a light frame. People that are using the tac variant need the ability to out-range rail rifles that still do serious damage out to 120m. If it even takes 1 second for the crosshair to stabilize you are likely already dead, or won't win that engagement. At the same time the recoil needs to be low, but give considerable spread if spammed (like what Haerr said). So you should be able to get 2 shots in quickly, wait a 1/4 second, another two shots in etc. Tactical should be able to strafe back and forth without sway, otherwise you are dead in the water at those ranges as you will be "a sitting duck" just waiting to be headshot. I kill snipers all the time at 150m with a combat rifle simply because they have to wait for their rifle to stabilize. I would be ok with lower meta levels of the charge rifle.

Most scouts that are seeing you right off the bat likely are not running full ewar. Pay attention to their total health, it will notify you what you need to run to counter their scans. You can probably get away with only a single damp and a complex red. If you go into a match right off as "full damp" its mostly a waste, of isk and fitting. Honestly I haven't played in 2 months because of the constant changes, so things may be different than I experienced in the past. I just couldn't handle it anymore. I prefer a little more consistency and CCP was laser focused on changing everything multiple times. I gave up. I've had suits where their role bonus changed 3 or 4 times. Quite a few of them changed entirely to the point where it no longer resembles the reason I placed SP into that role. That sort of thing is beyond aggravating at the glacial pace you get those roles back. The straw that broke the camels back was when they moved my scout hunter role from my warden. I've been playing since closed beta and I only have 40 mil SP. Mostly because I don't have the time nor energy to cap out every week nor do I think CCP deserves my money for boosters after fanfest.

IgniteableAura Pro Hic Immortalis 1790	Posted - 2014.10.05 18:57:00 - [466] - Quote The AA isn't the problem with the aiming mechanics. The acceleration and movement of the cursor is the biggest issue IMO. There is little difference between 0 and 100 sensitivity. I notice almost no difference in the ability to "fine tune" my aim. You move the DS stick 20% and it causes the reticle to move 100% of its speed. I saw a HUGE improvement to my ability to aim with the stick extenders because it allowed me to utilize that 20% a lot better. Test it for yourself, see if you can find the point at which you stick stops creating acceleration and its movement is slow and steady. Its nearly impossible to find and maintain. There has been no other game that basically required me to put them on. The issue with the stick extenders is they cause my thumbs to cramp after about 2 or 3 games; its just not very ergonomic. I used the mouse for a long time but you can't develop muscle memory for it (because CCP forces acceleration), so I stopped that as well. In summary its not the AA, is the mechanics of reticule movement itself. We have to rely on AA because the ability to fine tune and build muscle memory isn't possible. My Youtube Biomassed Podcast

(something they thought was freakin hilarious at FF2014; thanks guys but you removed those from the game all on your own) and there are onscreen notifications of objectives; RDVs are smart and drop your assets quickly. I don't understand why they changed it..........how is dust 2.0 better than 1.0? This is....before what we have now? What happened to the sounds? The voice over lady? The turret installations? Why aren't those things that we have now? I guess because sound > gameplay. There were turret installations, but they looked different.

So if you fit damps your precision goes down, if you fit precision your profile goes up, range reduces precision? That way a cal scout would be a beacon for even heavy frames. Gal scouts wouldn't have the option of seeing huge distances and staying hidden? Stated like months ago, thats easily hotfixable. Except now its the Amarr scout and the Cal scout. Cloak could tear down your profile, but it still won't fix the issue. Scouts will instead just "pulse" the cloak to find the red dots. Then go invis to engage. If its a constant negative bonus, then cloak will never be utilized....like ever. My Youtube Biomassed Podcast

I don't actually have time to do my titan. The raid is a great mechanic and currently I just hope Bungie doesn't nickle and dime its players.

The shields on that just aren't high enough to tank a light weapon. It and the Commando are why I think no suit should have only a single low. To me, even complex recharges and complex regulators aren't enough on the Cal Sent to matter. I'll stick to my good ole' 2 high, 3 low sentinel for forge gunning. Pretty much, Caldari Sentinel is really forced to keep range but that limits AP abilities significantly. Hopefully we can find some more heavy weapons in Legion. I enjoyed rep tanking my Cal-Sent, I think it had over just over 100hp/s back with a really low delay. Its not very useful for CQC, but it was awesome at ranged combat with a rail rifle. Like you said, ranged combat is better for cal-sent but lack of heavy long range weapon thats not the forge is lacking.

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 $20 every couple months. And for what? A new dungeon and sparklies? Its no different from World of Warcraft. Dust has to generate revenue to stay alive, and I commend CCP and CPM1 for coming up with things we'll actually enjoy spending money on. I see monetization as a step in the right direction for Dust ... a chance for a future and future updates. 20$ is not fair at all. What content do I generate from such a purchase? It provides me with absolutely no better options than I already have currently. It only buys me a couple million SP that I can get back much much quickly by getting a booster instead. In fact I would venture to guess at this stage, its SO much more economical to just buy several boosters, stack them and then use whatever SP you may have wasted and use it to gain SP, not reallocate. It makes absolutely no sense to ever buy a respec with the current SP cap. Not to mention the horrible nerf, buff train that continues. (scouts good, scouts bad, scouts good, scouts bad, scanners bad, scanners good, scanners really good, scanners useless) I could see $5-7. But $20 is just crazy, you have no reason to purchase it with all the other options. Had they not raised the SP cap, it would be a much better deal. PS: I only spent an extra 30$ on TWO! destiny expansions. Which will generate likely another 4-6 months of content that is new. If you compare other DLC on the market (COD, Dust, Warframe, PS2, etc), I am getting about twice as much content and that is why I give Bungie my money. My Youtube Biomassed Podcast

Still, if it were your mission to make succeed -- and Dust had to generate revenue to succeed -- would you not consider selling the service(s) which folks have clamored the loudest for? And if so, how would you price the optional respec service? If too low, it might appear that you were encouraging FoTM chasing (you'd have clear motive to do so). If too high, people simply wouldn't buy it. Perhaps you're right in that $20 isn't a fair price ... If no folks buy it, then its unfairly over-priced. If all folks buy it, then its unfairly under-priced. If some folks buy it, then its close to fairly priced. Isn't demand is the truest measure of a fair price? I've never believed in making cost a way to balance things in a video game. Cost is all relative to the person spending the money; kind of like you said earlier, $20 isn't all the much. As far as marketing goes, it shouldn't matter the actual cost of the item, other that CCP makes the most money off of that service. So if it was $10 (instead of 20), more than twice as many people would have to purchase it for that cost to make sense. People can go FoTM chasing all they want. This makes it easy and available to everyone. Those who really want to chase the flavor will be doing it regardless of the actual cost of the service. I would actually prefer FoTM chasing only so that CCP would be that much more inclined to fix the buff/nerf cycle. I get tired of the constant changing, its exhausting. How many times have we made a new scout eWAR table, just to understand the metrics of this game? Revenue should be more focused on vanity items that cost around $2-3 that are BPOs. I think boosters are also a great way to generate revenue, however the fact they increased the SP cap just screams folly to me, you don't speed up the life cycle of your game by 400%. Sorry for my bitterness, but after FailFest I stopped believing in Dust and CCP altogether. Communication has improved slightly, but how much time prior to 1.9 did they announce the features....a couple days? I just don't understand .

How would nerfing EWAR modules possibly shake up the current meta? I'd expect it to accomplish the opposite. Because the idea is to change Ewar, not nerf HP mods. HP mods already have a drawback in their fitting, adding on another one won't change their usage. You really think extra profile will make a heavy/assault fit something else? Right now passive/active scans are too strong and since they are squad shared, only a single person has to fit the mod. Making Ewar mods have drawbacks make you choose one of the three positives, rather than having all three, which make them too strong overall. An Amarr scout can be invisible, see really far and force all other frames to run full damps to evade. His squad can then run full HP mods and not worry about being dampened at all, because they will see 90% of the enemies. My Youtube Biomassed Podcast

Failed to thin early coats of spar varnish; should've probably cut first coat 50/50 with mineral spirits and progressed upward. Sin #2.

You were absolutely right about the steelwool; sanded between coats using #0000 instead of 220/320; thinking the surface waviness has more to do with insufficient sanding between coats than brushmarks. Perhaps both. Battle Plan I intend to sand through as much of the surface waviness as possible. Hand sanded once with 220, wiped down with mineral spirits and sanded again with 320. I can now see the grain again. The waviness remains though it somewhat less pronounced. Intend to continue hand sanding at 320; thinking another pass or two should suffice.

I believe in balancing equally. Percentage shows which weapons are not being buffed as much. All the skills currently buff on percentage basis and usually all the same percentages. (fire rate, reload speed, charge time etc) So when one weapon gets a 100% bonus, its a big deal when other weapons only see a 10%. It shows problems with balance IMO. Anyway, exactly how OP would 25% be exactly? Because I don't see many people running them for more than 15 or 20 kills at a time. Where as I see balacs/thales etc go many many hundreds of kills without losing one. There is no "safe" way to knife. An extra 10% movement speed isn't really that useful.

Alas the only true way to test knives..... is to only use knives. Other weapons give you a rather large margin for error. It masks the backpedal issues. Movement and aiming mechanics in this game are the worse I have ever experienced. Most games I can come back to and get the muscle memory back quickly; DUST, on the other hand takes me several days of consistent play without switching games to return to even a modicum of past performance. Which is exactly why I always use knives, it doesn't require as much muscle memory. Aeon, having two swipes is better IMO. It has allowed me to kill suits I would otherwise miss due to delay of swipe. It saves me more frequently then kills me. This is likely a bigger issue for non-bonus suits since they don't have the alpha with a single charge to kill a suit. Heavys need two charge swipes, assaults usually only needed one, scouts mostly needed uncharged swipes. As far as just "sprinting" back to your victim after missing. I think even sprinting is worse off. My only luck when sprinting back to your victim was when you could sprint charge. The knife animation takes too long and its nearly impossible to hit someone while they are backpedaling with a charge swipe. Not to mention they are usually hopping up and down like a rabbit.

We had several new maps but couldnt play them. OP weapons that were FoTM and others that were never even see. As far as expectations go, I remember getting told full racial parity in the first year dust was up and running and rattati was the one who delivered that to us with balance passes. I gotta give him credit for using the resources that he has currently. If you don't have a mason, you don't try to build a brick house, instead you build a log one. Rattati has been able to switch gears and focus on things that are important in the times of need. The only reason I don't play dust anymore is because I can't be arsed to hook up the PS3 and the terrible aiming mechanics. Those two thing get fixed, I would play much more frequently. I still get really excited for new content, even if its personal warbarges that are heavily monetized because its still content and ways to "upgrade". Don't get me wrong, there are still plenty of quality of life changes that Dust needs badly. Rattati is slowly working his way through them. In all of Dust I never saw such open communication with the playerbase. I would take that over a whole slew of devs that never talk with the community. WE are making the game and Rattati is helping us do that with his Trello board and community feedback. My Youtube Biomassed Podcast

It's also a handy luxury to have around just because. [/i] (No, the Automaton is not another sexy bot). I don't think having to pay for an automatic pull is going to be any better than just buying the components outright though. Why pay for an automated capture when you can buy the components. I think the idea is great, but it will likely need to be purchased for ISK or one time deal that lasts a year. I can't imagine paying for automatic capture when you will only lose out on a couple hundred components. The automated system would have to be cheaper, AUR wise, than buying the components. @sub costs Its a more sustainable way to keep cashflow, I don't know why CCP didn't do this from the start. Having subs along micros is a much smarter way to do things. By making the subscription more "meaty" than the micros you end up getting a lot more real life money in the coffers since its consistent. Interesting thought Considering the game has changed so much, I am not sure if this is the case, but is there a way to get AUR without spending real life money? If not, start injecting small amounts into daily missions. Giving out "free" AUR allows people who don't put money into the game, get a taste of the utility of AUR. Inevitably they will purchase a $5 pack of AUR to help boost their amount for a juicy new APEX suit, or Omega booster etc. If you give them the opportunity to reduce the $100 cost of something into $50, they are more likely to spend the other half in real life money.....why do I know this, because I have done it lol.

While I do enjoy your time in the shop it does bring out the blue tag chasers. Mayhap there is a way to mask those in the feed so we can have a more production discussion :) Anyway, here is a fun fact. Have been playing PS2 on PC for this whole week and its garbage. I really hope they do some major improvements to it before it finished beta on PS4. I can only imagine how newbros feel when they play Dust for the first time. Vets make these F2P games so difficult to really get a grasp of how best to play. I don't remember having a hard time playing dust the first time, but that was when it was still in closed beta and frankly no one know what they were doing at the time. PS2 has a major downfall in that the maps are SO huge, multiple planets and the fact that sockets are so large, its going to be really difficult to get a decent battlefield awareness before you give up on the game. In retrospect I think Dust could use a greater set of game modes, especially of the smaller player size variety. Currently, the player sizes are similar across all the game modes. It would be nice for newbros under a certain SP level to be unable to Q into the larger game modes so they can get a handle on smaller scale battles (limited to a single socket) first. This allows them to really explore the sockets and get comfortable with them before they are thrown into a huge battle (multiple sockets) in which they don't know where they are getting shot from, or what is causing them to die. I say this because in PS2, there is a huge discrepancy (personally) in "fun factor" once you hit a certain player size in a battle. I have much more fun when its in the 24ish range because I feel like I am not dying from someone I don't even see (24-96+ battles). In the smaller scale battles I feel much more aware. I imagine this is similar in Dust. My Youtube Biomassed Podcast

So even if you have an alt corp, whatever the players skill level inside would dictate their Mu score. Mu score for the corp would need to have different metrics that are applied so it can't be exploited through throw away alts. Something like WarPoints earned gives a higher percentage of Mu score. So if a throw away alt has 100 WP and another character has 1,000 WP, they throw away alt applies 10% to the total Mu score. I too agree with what Duncan is alluding to, if a corp can only field 16 people then really they shouldn't be holding onto 5 districts only because they pay ringers to win battles for them. Most of my corp grew tired of attempting to fight specific entities only to get blocked by ringers every single game. STB constantly picked fights with out corp out of rivalry, whenever we fought back they filled their ranks with top-tier ringers that were over our experience level. My Youtube Biomassed Podcast

Those corps could hold a distinct but wouldn't be able to field mercs over a specific Mu score to defend/attack. I'm saying that if you attempted to deploy into a battle with a "ringer" it simply wouldn't let you. You could probably get one or two ringers as I would expect a "range" but you couldn't fill it up with top-tier mercs. EX: Disclaimer, this is a very rough guideline. Its simply an idea, I am not a game designer nor implementation expert. corp mu score = 100 Range of Mu you can attack/defend = 50-150 Roster is filled with 12 Mercs from corp Mu score = 125 Roster filled with 1 ringer = 150 Roster filled wtih 2 ringers = 175 With two ringers you wouldn't be able to deploy.

Not only that, but PC normally require a sort of "training" period. With a restriction on the player it keeps them from teaching newbros the ropes on lower stake battles.

Really we just need a tunable CP cost factor per non corp non alliance member in battle however, the ringer may just join the corp before battle and leave afterwards. Do we need restrictions on such behaviour? I think you can create a metric for a player that flags them as a ringer without creating restrictions on corp hopping. Something that's more behind the scenes similar to the Mu score in pubs. I don't know the exact implementation but in a PC environment where you are "forced" to hire mercs to maintain your land...... Creating rules on corps just won't work when players can come and go as they please (that shouldn't be changed), it really needs to be a metric attached to a player; players take a long time to develop from an skill point and Mu perspective. If you hire a ringer, they won't be using a 20mil SP alt. If they do, that will help to even the playing field for the opposite team either way. You can't really influence your SP or Mu without some serious effort involved. I do like the contract style idea. RE: Restrictions on corp hopping. You could even implement a form of "jump fatigue" similar to Eve's jump mechanics.

He is never "present" on the podcast and it drives me crazy. RE: Zaria corp history. While I think the long history is important to point out like Ark did, I still see her hoping to whatever corp is doing well at the time. That could be a direct reflection of her strong leadership just as it is her ability to know who is "top dog" before it comes to fruition. Could also mean she doesn't like being on the losing side. Plenty of conjecture there My Youtube Biomassed Podcast

Digging into old behavior, allies, traits, habits etc is the best way to get a handle on someones true intent. When you go to hire someone for a job you don't assume everything from their resume/CV. You call references and look at their past to dictate how they will perform in the future. IMO some of the best CPM/CSM people are those who write blogs. They tend to interface with the community and thats the most powerful role they provide. My Youtube Biomassed Podcast
IgniteableAura Pro Hic Immortalis 2	Posted - 2015.06.19 15:08:00 - [545] - Quote I will say that any corp that wanted to be competitive during the start of dust required PC capable players. If you have a battle filled with your own corp, you shouldn't have any of the typical "blue dots". Obviously not everyone is good at everything. Some people are forced into a negative KDR during PC matches due to role, but as a corp, you should never have to worry about someone having your back. That is what creates a PC/competitive corp. In my experience splitting corps into "tiers" of players never ends well. RE: scary scouts I would agree Demzor/Assert, those guys nearly always bested me in combat. I think it depends on who you face against, those guys were usually in my TZ, so I ended up playing with/against them frequently. I never even ran into Mustard or Rader. My Youtube Biomassed Podcast

I can send you some brew for sure, but its not always easy with shipping these days. They don't like shipping liquids, so I call it a "viable yeast sample" which tends to go over better...lol idiots. I still miss running only complex knives on a full kincat minja, jumping on top of roofs and raptoring down....ah those were the days. These days I shoot Oryx in the face once a week and spend the rest of my time on the Pandora wastelands. My Youtube Biomassed Podcast

I work in a chem lab right now and my co-worker has a degree in bio-chemistry. That's hilarious. Is there a good way to get a hold of you privately so I can tell you where to ship? Psn msg? I'd imagine you are still on my FL. I could sign into the offsite rig as well and you can PM me there too. My Youtube Biomassed Podcast

IgniteableAura Pro Hic Immortalis 2	Posted - 2016.01.08 16:03:00 - [552] - Quote Oh I think VR will beba gimmick for the first year or so while people get a grip on the tech. Mods are a pretty nice thing on PC....not something that will happen with console. So I think mods could sustain VR until it gets games designed specifically for it....aka valkaryie. Second q: **** PS4 still has old gen keeping it down. Just now are the finally developing games for next gen. So I think it's always a backlog. Again if developers don't so something with the tech....I know modders will. VR is here to stay as long as it doesn't cause massive motion sickness. I don't plan on buying VR for at least a year. $600 is too much. But plenty of other PHI guys have Already preordered it. My Youtube Biomassed Podcast

I'd argue that the old tech isn't yet sufficiently outdated. MGS:V is huge, beautiful and complex. Check out the the side-by-side PS3/PS4 comparisons; it runs smoothly on both systems, without noticeable differences. I'd also argue that pay-for PSN was a bad move for a number of reasons. That's the problem. New games are being held back by old tech. Think about it this way, if the PS3 is able to keep up, how much is the PS4 version behind held back. I too am annoyed that I have to pay to play with my buddies and I don't really see many benefits from paying vs free on PS3. My Youtube Biomassed Podcast
