So, I hear a lot about other scouts having isk troubles, and I'm here sitting on a rising pile of isk, so can I just ask, why is it that you're having such troubles with money?

So non-Scouts are basically asking that our long awaited buff involve "Shared Squad Sight" specific to Scouts.

I can't tell you how many times I've had AR rounds pass over my shoulder as I stalk an unaware target.
Seems to me "Shared Squad Sight" would mean that this annoying occurrence would become commonplace.
Am I missing something here or are these guys asking that the Scout buff benefit them more than us?

Don't get me wrong, I understand that Recon is a part of our job.
But I prefer to "recon" when and what I choose by painting it with an Active Scanner.
Why not just give us two equipment slots so RE, Uplink, and Support oriented Scouts can do the same?

"Having a designated medic type role is pointless if everyone can just equip an injector. Why take an extra person when you can just fit a piece of cheap equipment?"

PS:



"Controller: you're using it wrong"

How can you NOT be able to do this?
Sounds like you're just too chicken to try it. Its freakin easy. You dont even have to charge the second one, so it comes in before the enemy even has the time to register "what, I got hit by something?"
That's an immediate extra 300 followup attack. Plus,if they're hacking in one of those little 3-side boxes I like to call deathtraps, even a trained monkey couldnt miss.
Maybe your problem is evidenced by the fact you even mention shotguns in here. Forget about the shotgun when you have an open back to you. Knife >>> shotgun.

Besides which, in pub battles, i've never seem a logi with more than 1000 hp. lots of 800s, sure.

I dont think everything is wonderful in the current build. But if people are going to complain, they should do it intelligently and accurately, rather than complain about things that arent actually broken at the moment
(or at least not quite as bad as portrayed)




Stalking: you're doing it wrong.
Or at least, equipped wrong.
First off, this is where the "minmatar over gallente" comes in. The .3 extra base movement speed helps.

Secondly: yeah, the "no charging while sprinting" is stupid. but there is at least a workaround. Stalk your target (RIGHT behind them!!) until they quit sprinting, 'cause they're out of stamina.
At that point, if you havent stupidly equipped yourself with a bunch of heavy plate armor, you *should* be still noticably faster than them at walk speed.
So, take 1 second to charge, and let it fly. I've taken out quite a few people on the run this way, out in the open spaces, so long as I wait until they drop out of sprint.

You have to be smart, and anticipate which direction(s) they're going to turn in while sprinting, so you stay in their 180' blind spot behind them the whole time.
That's the part where having a SPRINT advantage, as well as a normal speed advantage, helps.

Stalk from about 3m behind them, then when their stamina runs out, close, and BAM!




You misspelled "This is what happens consistently TO YOU with sneak up tactics". If you're doing it right, you should be getting the kill practically 100% of the time, first time.
Other people dont seem to fail at this as much as you are apparently doing. Are you trying this witih the basic knives or something?
You have to be using at least ADV knives to be reliably effective.

This is a link for the patch notes an my comment on it , if you agree please follow the link, quote it, like it, back it up an bombard that thread backing up our knife needs, please be polite so the devs don't look at us like brats but state ur case

Thanks OZ

You need to fix this nova knife hit detection issue ASAP ,cqc needs to work perfect!
If it does not work perfect people , especially new people assume the game is broken. There was a dev post I remember reading ( not sure by whom) that 1.5 would fix these hit detection issues with the nova knives.

Scouts die from many things easily an we have accepted that an adapted, but dying because we perfectly sneak behind a weak assailant with proficiency rated knives an a minmatar 25% scout damage bonus , charge strike a hacker 3 times an have him turn around an militia assault rifle us to death in .6 seconds an have the kill screen show he was in a militia suit with under 500 total HP is completely an utterly unacceptable.
My knives do 560 damage without even charging them.

This occurance can not continue for any longer it needs to be fixed now. Their is nothing worse about this game than dumping millions of sp into something that has constantly been complained about an always swept under the rug an neglected.

If you can't fix them or don't know how that answer would satisfy us more than making other things more important an neglecting to finish doing what you said would be done for 1.5

We are forced to skill into other weapons an waste points just to survive, when we already have millions of sp in something that is broke, this is sidetrack our skill tree progression and is unacceptable considering we have been extremely patient.
The sg is a perfect example an I have had proficiency 4 shotgun since may an ply started consecutively using it since this past week because the knives get me killed more than anything else nowadays .

An I'm a good sneaky scout, I'm not rushing in face to face, it's the behind kill with no hit detection that's killing all nova knife users at least a few times a game.
Please make this a priority

I have proto minja but have slowly been going gallente an bringing up my armor an shield regulators cuz I was more red an green pills.

But last night I unlocked the advanced racial gallente, I put:
Two shields
K5 special
Toxin
Quantum
Ad shield reg
And armor rep
Has about 400 ehp

Man ! Shield regulators are awesome!
I been using them an armor reps on the mk.0 inside cities an the g adv scout , lol an last night the hate mail started coming.
I rushed the last outside objective before my team rushed in for the redline an played ring around the turret getting a 12 kill streak before I got taken out.
I really wish we had a 3/3 slot configuration again cuz the advanced gallente is pretty damn nice with 2/2 an that regulator an armor rep combo kept me kickin ace all night, get dropped to 30 HP then 2 seconds later, shields are up an armors almost full!

I'm loving the shotgun more than ever now, although this dumb melee punch glitch seems to happen a lot with my first shot , anyone else have this?
Big fan of the shield reg
I'm hoping I can build the gk.0 like this:
Complex shield
K5
Toxin
M3
Complex armor
Adv shield reg
Red/green
Gonna take almost two months but I'm stoked!

It's a mainstay of standard corporate employee education classes, or business etiquette classes, amoung other things.
Too bad there are so many people running around on the forms that apparently arent old enough to have learned this sort of thing.
