Well gotta say, the Monday before 1.8 I got my ScP to prof 5 for this event (since ScP is my money weapon). When 1.8 came out and I found out that ScP got HUGE RoF nerf (unannounced) I was pretty choked. Once more I got CCP'd, I thought. So naturally I got my bolt pistol up to replace the ScP, and it was GREAT, but TOUGH! After a full day or two of Bolt pistol exclusively, someone mentioned that the ScP was still boss... I scoffed and jokingly put back on my fitting. To my surprise, it IS still boss! Just takes more focus and less insta-kills.

Now I run TT3 ScP primary and switch to Std Bolt Pistol Secondary when the shields go down (ESPECIALLY against heavies). Ended the day off with a 21-2 game in an advanced gal scout. I guess running bolt pistol exclusively, I inadvertently underwent weighted training for my ScP. Glad it only took a day or too, I missed my TT3.

So in conclusion, it really is simply a TTK increase as indicated by CCP. Which is just fine by me as it gives me more time to run and hide before I die. God bless 3hp/s armor regen.

I'm not allowed to explode at people in here....... right?

Because scrambler complainer is a viable, and juicy, target.....

Waiting for the day the scout suit is viable again. Until then it is fast MIN Assault for me and Shotgun. Don't judge, I've been loyal to the cause since closed beta. KDR is too tough to recover at 11K+ kills. You should make a secondary list: X-Scouts registry since 1.3. This might ring just as loudly as how few are still running scout.

Should be noted that when 1.2 came out, all 8 or 9 mil SP went into shotty/nova scout exclusively. 1.2 and greater == crap for scout.

We now have slightly less visibility due to 1.4 so thumbs up to that, but when are we going to get the much needed rest of the love? As good as Min Assault is to my now-recuperating KDR, I am a scout and that is the gameplay I just can't have right now and for the last 3 builds... has anyone heard any news about this yet? How are you guys staying soooooo positive? I want in on your secret...
Jak'Saan 3dge of D4rkness SoulWing Alliance 63	Posted - 2013.11.05 15:28:00 - [5] - Quote Guys I'm needing some clarity. I am proto Min scout. I have been running an adv suit, crg sg, nk, cpx red, adv green, cpx ext, bsc ext apx 30K isk. My games have been amazing! I've been getting 20/7, 30/10, etc and then last night I thought I'd make a cheaper suit for fun. I used dragonfly, basic armour rep, basic reactive plates, dren sg, nk, cpx ext 11K ISK and I was running 20/2 30/5 one match my only death was a redline suicide. WTF?!?! is gallente way better than min? What am I missing? How did I not know this? Or is there genuinely something I am forgetting which makes min scout as good as I thought it was? I hate gal scout because it is so ugly, but yet, it's like the easy mode of hard mode!!!!!! Min scouts out there, my faith is wavering. Tell me why min is better than gal.
Jak'Saan 3dge of D4rkness SoulWing Alliance 92	Posted - 2013.11.15 16:46:00 - [6] - Quote Wow so I hate to admit it but thanks to the Black Eagle challenge, I tried AR for the first time since Closed Beta with no sp into AR at all. It was so easy that I was top of the charts by staying at a very far distance an ADS killing reds. It made me really see how OP AR is and how crappy all other weapons really are... even my beloved SG. I knew it was bad but I had no idea it was that bad. It actually made me furious to see how easy it was. As a scout suit I was taking down mediums and heavies before they even knew where I was because I was so far. They would hide behind obstacles with their back to me and I'd finish them off. Hell... I was mowing down suckers from hip shots. As a senior software engineer I have to finally say DUST 514 is a horrible piece of software. Their devs should be embarrassed. I wish I never tried the AR because for the first time since closed beta, I have no intention of capping out this week. It will be my first voluntary week missed and I'm not sure if/when I will feel like picking this game up again. All hail AR 514... CCP you succeeded in convincing me nothing else was worth the investment. To my scout brethren, I applaud you for continuing the battle. It is clear that CCP does not care, nor do they acknowledge a problem. If you've never tried AR, pick one up just to see what I mean. You don't even have to hide much. I shudder to think people are saying SR is more op than AR. If that's the case, I hope to never try it out. Ignorance truly was bliss in this case.

As another senior software engineer, I resent that remark :) The SOFTWARE is fine.. the design spec is what's at fault. Im guessing the AR OP-ness is mandated by someone who has written few, if any, lines of code in their lives. I guess I wasn't really clear on that comment: The problems with AR (and most weapons if we are honest with ourselves) being OP has to do with what I like to call "Ripe Band-aide Syndrome". Multiple band-aides were applied to hide the fact that HD was so horrible before. Hit boxes growing when running/jumping, speed reduced, stamina reduced, damage of all weapons increased, shield regen decreased, AA may as well be called Aim Bot, extra AR buffs (to appease the majority of clients). Then the REAL problem was solved: Hit detection. And what we are left with is ripe, stinky, sweat-saturated skin underneath a band-aide that should have come off along when HD was fixed. The band-aides have now replaced HD as the reason Dust 514 is a horrible piece of software.

Totally depends. During the tournament, vehicles were banned, so I created a suit that had 1 cpx KinKat, and 1 adv reg(IMO you will never need more than adv unless you really can't wait the 2 second regen...) and a good uplink. With this suit it seemed like I never stopped running (I think I was even accused of cheating though he never confirmed his meaning) and I would always be the first on the scene. The team would spawn on my links. Actually a pretty fun suit for killing too. During battle, you literally never stop running and you never run out of stamina because as long as it takes you to stop running and kill someone, your stamina is mostly recovered. This of course only lasted until I discovered the magic of passive scanning. Then my high slots became too valuable to merit being fast for the sake of being fast.

As for the tactics, yes, I do use them. I very rarely have a K/D less than one. However, I don't enjoy the twitch shooter that Dust currently is. When I've been discovered, I want the opportunity to either score a few quick headshots to survive or have enough time to escape and come back from the enemy's blind spot. The current build of Dust rarely allows that. The current build of Dust only rewards straight forward ram-yourself-into-the-enemy play by having way too low of a TTK and encouraging everyone to run a scanner (even if I avoid them, it is still a problem for the game overall). This isn't the Dust I want to play, so I'm simply not going to play it. I have better things to do with my time than subject myself to this twitch grind. (I am sticking around the forums because I haven't given up on Dust... though CCP's silence on a lot of Dust's problems isn't helping) Dude you sound like me this month. Novembers "Proto-stomp On!" events have really done me in. HD is truly a marvel, though too many band-aides were left on that now need to come off, making this game, exactly as you said, twitch. Not my style either... was kind of the whole reason I was so into Dust to begin with. It's to the forums for me and to the games I put aside for my PS3.

Dudes, CCP doesn't read this thread... nor do they care about scouts... nor will they ever care until the last Medium frame stops QQ'ing about something or another. Heck even until the last Heavy stops QQ'ing about something. To date, everyone that is not scout has been heard and represented by the nerf/love bat at least once in one form or another. AV, Vehicles, Assault, Logi, Heavy, etc... Scout received... some base scan range. Why are we still talking about cloak, like it is ever going to happen. CCP. Does. Not. Care. About. Scouts. 270 pages, no blue tag. The worst part is that you guys are getting upset at each other for having bad ideas or for not liking your good ideas... lol. "You have the worst idea ever that CCP will never even look at! You are going to ruin us all by CCP never implementing your idea!" is basically what you are saying. Well I can top it all, you see I have the best idea ever that CCP will never look at. And I will winning us all by CCP never implementing my idea! And you can't prove otherwise! LOLLLLLLL!

My point from my irrational mini rant was that I should not be forced to run my suit to someone else's liking. Its my toon, sp, suit and choice. I can use the same logic some people are using on heavies. That a heavy should only run plates and rep. Well I run comp kincats on mine. Do I suddenly become public enemy number 1? Am I breaking the game? sigh.... My gal scout suit is a armored based suit. Is running two plates that much of a crime? I also want to point out that some guy named Aqua somethingOrOther sent me a very official "Non Scout No. 26" email once cause I killed him with a Combat Rifle... People will think what they will. The only think they are not thinking about you is when you aren't killing them. Be flattered!
