Nice I believe we were tossing it around in reference to the Grey Wardens from Dragon Age, because of their sensory perception of DarkspawnGǪ Why am I not replaying that game right now?
My reason is I haven't torrented it on this laptop. Or the sequels that I was in prison for.

Yeah, no ******* wonder an HMG signified instant death for my 200 hp minja. I FELT like it was slowing me down just getting hit, but with a refurbished PS3, I was chalking it up to the machine being tired and performing poorly on my own end.
MAYBE it'll take an extra 0.01 seconds for an HMG to kill me now... which should give me all the time I need.

What are the noticeable effects of the dampening/scanning changes?
Will I be greatly affected in my minja suit?
I'll be running 2x enh precision amp and a sidearm damage mod in the highs, with 2 enh damps in the lows to see if I manage to get the drop on Cal Scouts that don't also go full ewar on their fits. I expect good results, will report back once I have something conclusive.

That time to activate is pretty heavy... but thinking about it, I don't really care if it takes 4 seconds before I can detonate the package I just planted on the back of that Gunnlogi.
As long as it doesn't take 4 seconds before I can plant the second (and third) charges.
I've gotten killed already just because of having to wait two seconds to throw the second one, without even getting to plant the third. That means i spawn back in, nowhere near the tank, never get the third remote planted and when it takes damage from another source like a FGer, I'm nowhere around to take advantage of the opportunity. If it took 4 seconds just to throw the next bomb onto the back of the tank, I might as well just not be doing it at all.
Setting traps on points, though, 4 seconds... whatever, it'll be longer than that before the next scout comes to re-hack it so it's fine (as long as he doesn't flux 'em)

If by break you mean 'make OP', I suppose an argument could be made for the idea that if we could fill the lows with damps and stack kincats in the highs, we'd be Flashy fast AND stealthy (except for Wardens, I guess).

I wonder what you guys think of the sniper rifles and what should happen those?
Also how are scouts holding up after alpha so far? If sniper rifles are to be buffed, then they need their range nerfed to force people to come out of the redline.
Nah, not a range nerf. The red lines need to get peeled back a bit (a lot) on some (most) of the maps.
Ground spawn plus the area where you land when dropping out of the MCC, plus 50m toward the enemy base and 10 meters in the opposite direction.. That should be the red line. No more than that.

That will just make people not use sniper rifles. The sole problems are with the fact you have to crouch to be even slightly effective with them which forces people to want to just camp. What's the best place to camp? Obviously a place that the enemy team can't shoot at you.
Sniping in a scout suit (none of this super tanked proto logi or commando bullshit - though I WILL eventually rock the Caldari commando suit for sniping due to the rail damage bonus), I don't do the redline. I move out along the ridge, I take a Myron to a good vantage point, I get down in between shipping crates, I creep around with the SMG in between vantage points, I hack objectives and CRUs and then run to a vantage point to snipe the guy who comes to hack it back.
If a scrub wants to stop sniping because there's no more cozy little redline where I can't run up behind him and knife him in the neck, then good. Snipers need to GOML and be useful to their team or find some other way to puff up their KDR (like it matters if your team loses - "We lost, but I went 30/0 with my Thales lolololol")

When I'm stacking damage mods and aiming for center mass instead of going for headshots somethings wrong.
Totally agree. I don't have proto rifle yet unless I use AUR or grind Caldari LP, so I'm sighing in dismay when I still haven't dropped a militia heavy after three headshots.
Really liking what Appia said re: where the variants' damage should be for head- and body shots.

Appia Nappia wrote:Counter Sniper is nearly impossible and just ridiculous. Sniper v Sniper combat isn't about DPS or Alpha Damage... it's all about who renders who first.
Agree with pretty much all that you said, but I wanted to comment on this point.
It's definitely who renders who first, but I have had some success with counter-sniper work - situationally.
If I'm running about, hacking and stabbing and melting militia suits with my RS-90, and in the killfeed I'm seeing a particular sniper just getting his rocks off, I'll try to get an idea of where he's at. I'll watch for bodies to go flying without a tank or forge gun being involved and look in the direction opposite where the body flew. If I see a squadmate fall to the sniper via the killfeed, I'll yell into comms if I have to to try and get an indication of where he was when he died (and thus, where vantages with a clear shot at that location might be).
I don't find the sniper every time, but when I suicide to spawn in my sniper fit, the enemy sniper has already settled in and gotten lazy. He scanned for snipers when he first started and is comfortable that he's an apex predator with no competition.
Then s/he catches a headshot as soon as I find him or her. Most hostile snipers hang it up after that rather than try to find me... but I'll stick around and watch A: their perch and B: the path from their ground spawn or MCC dropzone (whichever's closer) to the perch and catch them coming back to it - unless I've already seen their drop uplink through my scope, then I just watch that.
The problem I have is when it's a super tanked Logi or a Commando or, jfs a bloody basic heavy suit and that first headshot doesn't kill them. I know from playing on another character that even a charge won't OHK one of these targets on a headshot. In those cases, I rarely get the kill, but they go put their Thale's away in a hurry.
Also, Tactical sniper rifle's ROF is too slow, imo. Shouldn't be full auto, but should be a lot more rapid.

I suck at maths, so forgive me but could you clarify/confirm the following:
The numbers Appia posted in her spreadsheet mean that CalScout would no longer be able to see a scout running damps (instead of tank/biotics/codebreakers), even with nothing but PEs across their highs, but would still see scouts who weren't damped? Am I understanding that correctly?

Does this sound OK to everyone?
Seems fair to me! Fit for stealth or fit for tank, but not both and all scouts have the option of being stealthy and scouting or being light assaults. Seems like everybody wins.

voidfaction wrote:agree with "if shared scanning weren't a thing"
but remember your also not willing to make a significan enough sacrifice to stay off the tac-net. You choose not to use 3x cDampeners and a cCloak. Even if its timed hiding you are able to do so providing you are willing to make the sacrifice.
What is the dmg potential of NK's on a sidearm dmg modded minja? who else is able to = that dmg with NK's providing they sacrifice fitting?
minmatar is the jack of all trades master of none other than the NK's. the most innate bonuses of any scout suit - PG and shield. But hey you got your NK bonus that can't be beat vs having something more universal.
Keep in mind that for us to benefit from our NK damage, we have to get to within 2m of the target (I think, or is it 1m?)
But we can't hide for more than 40 seconds at a time and must be running cDamps AND cCloak in order to do even that?
So you're saying, go proto or go home? Because the ADV suit ain't fitting a proto cloak. It just doesn't have the CPU/PG for it. Guess I'll just stop playing DUST for the next several months until I accumulate 2.2 million passive SP so I can have a viable suit. See you guys in a few months, I hope DUST is still here by then! o7
The Warden doesn't have to sacrifice all their highs to see us. The Ghost doesn't have to sacrifice all of his lows to hide from us OR all of his highs to see us. We're expected to sacrifice all of our lows AND one of our EQ slots to hide for a few seconds, get one - maybe two - kills before the entire enemy squad rains HMG, ACR and AR fire down on our 200 eHP heads? I can't fit shield tank because I need PEs to even hope to see the bricktanked scouts with their shotguns. I need lows full of damps to even hope to hide from those I need to sneak up on in order to get a kill with my knives. And forget about KinCats and Codebreakers to capitalize on my speed and hacking speed.
Nope, I think something needs to change here.

Well I could just do damage mod, 3 complex dampeners, 1 kincat, 1 enhanced/proto ferroscale plate. Nice. Now I'm just as stealthy as a Min can be, faster sprint, 150 more HP.
. . . I could go on. The problem of 1/5 layout would be something I would use in a heartbeat. So many vital modules to scout playstyle are in the low slots, I'm a Gallente at heart and love my blaster+armor+speed builds I use on my Cruisers in EVE. But this would be one of the best suits in the game. It would become Flavor of the Month to have that much fitting diversity and a Scout's naturally lower scan profile.

Just remember there're still plenty of us who are getting d*cked by the rather low weekly SP cap. If CCP implements something like that, I demand a bloody respec so I can put all the SP I spread around on other things (like Adv Blaster and Enhanced armor mods for my Madrugar, a bunch of weapons I turned out not liking to level one, the skills I put into ARs, only to find I love CRs much more, the SP invested into submachine guns which I only recently found would be serving me much better in ScP, Active Scanner lvl 3, which I never ever use...) where they belong (in scoutly skills).

As an aside, I hope that NPE remains especially brutal for Scouts. We sure as sh*t don't want a bunch of weak-willed "its too hard" cry babies running around the Barbershop. Better for us that those types find their way into other Frames; we much prefer guys like Jace.
This Community exists because of rough starts. Those few newbros who are willing to stay the course fit in well here.
I got to run with musturd a little last night after they trashed us in PC. We got the same crappy 3-point Skirm map twice in a row so he bounced, but later I stabbed an LAV gunner and the HMG heavy that had gotten out of that LAV by Charlie on Fracture Road... and a few seconds later, a bluedot scout came up and knife-slapped me. Turns out musturd was on my team and likely saw the whole thing. The knife-slap felt like a "way to go, newbro" from a storied vet.

Nova Knives are viable. Standards easily kill anything that isn't a heavy or super-tanked Logi in one charged swipe (provided both knives connect).
ZN-28's kill that tanked logi and some heavies.
IshNoks kill proto heavies in one charged swipe plus one uncharged followup more often than not.
CCP adds sprint-charge to the knives, they suddenly become OP, they suddenly become FOTM, you'll see asshats in Minmatar heavies running around with them or something else stupid like that. And then CCP will nerf the living **** out of them and that disturbance in the force you'll feel? That'll be the death cry of the playstyle of a goodly number of scouts crying out in pain for one instant before being extinguished forever. Then we'll all have to be cloaked shotgun scrubs.
We want our knives to remain the territory of stealthy, difficult gameplay. We want our kills to signify our talent as hunters, killers and lone point defenders. When three guys in fat suits are hacking the same point and they all die one after the other in the space of 2.8 seconds, without the need for a remote explosive to be tossed...
They remember your bloody name and they fear it. They look for it on the leaderboard at the beginning of a match. If they see it, they change their behavior. Everyone knows who mr musturd is. Ghost Kaiser. Llast326. I could go on. There're a few who have sent me hatemail after and during a match for my knife work. They'll never forget my name. I've had corpmates comment on my spamming the killfeed with Ishukone Nova Knives for brief spurts (nothing like the streaks I've seen Ghost go on, mind)... my tank-driving, dropship-flying squadmates' saying "Nice, Jace!" when I take down that forge gunner they can't hit. When they see the name of that hostile Thale's sniper inside the redline show up in the killfeed, the one you can't effectively countersnipe because he's in a proto Sentinel suit. The guy manning the railgun installation inside the redline. They all remember the knifer who shredded their dropsuit. They all know that the sound of the knives slashing means they're already dead.
Add a sprint-charge to the knives, we'll all just be "another nk scrub". It won't be special.

Rattati. Bro.
Brick tanked scouts was the primary cause for most off the stuff that happened in Alpha.
Alpha didn't stop brick tanked scouts.
Let Charlie be the hotfix Alpha was supposed to be.
Fitting penalty for scouts running Armor Plates (but not ferroscales or reactives).
This gives us the flexibility to stack armor, but not to a ridiculous/broken degree.
Make
It
So.
Beggin' ya here. You're on the right track!

Shotty never said or implied anything like that. He doesn't even run minscout.
Why are you so butthurt about Minscout?
Or is it about Shotty himself?
Why are you whitekniting so hard for Amarr scout?
Why don't you realize that, given your propensity for half-assed snark in your posts and your extreme shortage of constructive contribution, you're being taken less and less seriously by more and more people?
I've seen the proposal I liked for Minscout. It was, apparently, no good. I offered what useful-seeming opinion I could. I've since then basically kept my mouth shut. I'm only posting now because watching you bicker childishly at anybody who tries to gently point out what an ass you're being while at the same time encouraging and inviting you to participate in a meaningful way is becoming cumbersome.
When Ratatti comes back to check on the discussion and the ideas being tossed around/presented, I don't want your ongoing verbal tantrum to be the first thing he sees.
You're bad and you should feel bad.
Stop.

I hope this is to include Minmatar Scout's hack bonus becoming "Efficacy to Codebreaker" (or however that's worded).
And I agree with One Eyed King regarding Nova Knives. Hit detection gets wonky sometimes, sure. And there've been a lot of times where I'll have a full charge on the knives, let go of the bumper and... nothing happens. The knives don't slash, don't stab, nothing. And the guy I was sneaking up behind, he walks backwards right at that moment (somehow walking backwards THROUGH me) and I die. Because the attack never happened. This is aggravating, and hopefully you can duplicate it and figure out why it happens and fix it - I die on average twice a match just because of that.
But the most important, valuable change you could give knifers is to slow backpedaling to 85-90% of forward movement speed. I walk backwards slow as hell on the warbarge and in my merc quarters. Why, oh, why does everyone backpedal at full speed on the battlefield?
I don't need more damage. I need to have a fighting chance when the 1800+hp proto sentinel turns around because his CalScout buddy blew my cover (and yes, I do run all complex damps in my lows on my Adv. and LP Proto suits, including proto cloak on the proto suit - I AM choosing to sacrifice speed for stealth, but I don't have an extra couple of million SP saved up to go Gallente).
In fact, if backpedal speed were slowed down, I'd even be okay with losing the Minmatar Scout bonus to knife damage.

That's the only problem I had with your take. I don't think you realize how much that bonus makes the difference. Try using only Zns amongst proto enemies. You'll see what I mean.
Oh, I know - I didn't immediately get IshNoks, I ran around wiht ZN's for a good month if I didn't have cash for Aurum laying around. They're worlds apart over STD knives, and worlds below proto knives. The thing is, I didn't see anyone crying out for more damage, but everybody seems to be like "Stupid Minjas, you want everything, blahblahblah." The suit bonus DOES make a nice difference, and I'm not saying I'd be happy to lose it... but if I had to swallow it for a compromise, I'd figure out how to get 2x complex sidearm damage mods in there.

Hmm.. that would be fun actually.. so you'd basically have to abandon all defense.. go straight up speed and damage. I kind of like the concept. What about this?
With complex PG, would F/45's fit instead of the compact nano? Either way, that fit looks like a blast
And I dunno, man. I been seeing a lot more ZN's in the killfeed lately - I think despite the suit's shortcomings and the knives' difficulty there are a few folks out there discovering the fun of it. All we need is proto stompers losing too much ISK in pubs to come here and be a whining vocal minority on the forums...

Also, is it me or does the loot itself seem to generate randomly? I mean, I've seen the same name on a piece of armor, but the defense rating would be different. And I'd swear I've seen a Disc bonus on an item I'd dismantled, but then I get the same item again and it's a different bonus...?

He's whinging about brick tanked Slayer Wardens, basically. Honestly, I can't disagree with him. But haven't we been trying to figure out how to discourage brick tanked slayer scouts in general for the last two hotfixes without breaking scouts for the actual roles of scouting?
And for that matter, I'm getting sick of seeing non-scouts running cloaks in general. 1000 hp logi suits with cloaks because of the equipment fitting bonus... it's pretty stupid, but meh. Today, through my sniper scope, I watched a Molon Labe. scrub named Savage something-or-other in a proto Gal scout cloak. I know he was a proto gal scout because the target intel said 'Neo' Commando gk.0 as I was lining up the headshot. Then he cloaked. I tracked his movement. Then he uncloaked and blasted some blueberry with a shotgun.
I put the DS3 down and lit a cigarette, shaking my head at CCP and wishing the two days of Destiny BETA downtime would hurry up and finish so I could go back to throwing my knife at people on the moon.

Myself, I don't want a damp bonus. I just want an ADV suit to be able to beat the Warden - if I use BOTH of my lows for cDamps and fit a cloak. Which means I want the ADV Minmatar scout suit to have enough CPU and PG to fit PRO cloak, cDamps, IshNoks and BK-42 and whatever highs (within reason) without needing a PG mod (because 1 damp ain't gonna bloody well do it).

So I run around with 5 other squad mates trying to hold 2 of 3 objectives. And none of my deaths matter. In that sense it just seems like a kill spree with little regard to strategy. Although at least TTK isn't horribly low so it's not a twitch fest like other games.
I don't know. I have more fun with the PVE and exploration and goofing off with my squad for a bit of relaxing co-op play. But for PVP dust still has the upper hand by far.
I just wish my scout was as nimble in Dust as my Hunter is in destiny. And throwing knives is pretty swank. I love the double jump as well. And the time out of battle is way more fun. I like jumping off the platform in the city for suicides or looking for cool places to get up to (like the trees in the courtyard, etc....)

150mm ACs, AB, Scrambler, armor tank (plate, repper, adaptive nano, suitcase and a gyrostab, should all fit with Elec/Eng 5 and Wu/AWU 5. That's my old Wolf fit. Your engagement envelope is pretty wide, stay away from missile cruisers/BCs, but you'll kill most cruisers that aren't built on the Stabber or Caracal hull and most turret based BCs. Provided you can get 'em alone, just get under their guns and profit from the loot they drop. It's a Wolf, you'll fight in falloff, your guns will reach 13km, most effective inside of your 9km scram range anyway.

Then all of a sudden he took off running, frantically spinning about, smg in hand. I timed my leap so that my charged knives would land just as he faced me. Of course, I missed completely. So we danced about, him spraying, me flailing. I eventually landed a few slashes and got him ... thank goodness. Would've otherwise been pretty embarrassing :-)

lol alright, well. For frame of reference, I'm now 32. Will be 33 come October.
I got kicked out when I was 16, my mom being an asshat and us not being able to actually live together for more than a month at a time without fighting. She swears, "You'll come crawling back home in a week. You don't know how hard it is out there."
I'm working full time, I get my own place, don't really save money beyond paying my bills and feeding myself, and being able to afford to take my steady gf out clubbing and to movies and such. I'm 16, what do I know about saving money, right?
Well, fast forward 3 years... now I'm 19 and I upgrade jobs from my crappy retail gig to a less crappy data entry gig. Only, because of public transportation, I end up being late 5 times during the 90-day probation at the job. Three times by one minute, twice by two minutes. HR spits out pink slip, boss says come back in 6 months with better transportation. It's 2 weeks before Christmas. I don't wanna borrow money to keep afloat 'cause I don't have another gig lined up, my old retail gig has been filled... dunno when I could pay a loan back.
Think about going home, my mom's words reverberating in my head from 3 years ago. **** that.
A couple guys I knew had recently asked me if I wanted in on what they were doing, because their other co-conspirator was becoming flaky/unreliable. I'd said no, because I was working... I call up one of 'em. Ask if it's still on the table. "For you, bro? Of course it is!"
So I call up one of my other friends, who knows a bunch of Jamaican dudes that move ganja in one of the seedier parts of Philly, he calls in a favor and I come up on a .38... we're in business.
Watch a gas station for the weekly visit from the owner's bookkeeper and jam her for $9300 as she's getting back into her car. Three days later, we pop the drop safe of another gas station we'd been watching - mistimed the hit, only got $2600. Both times, split three ways. Christmas was good that year.
Two weeks later, something along the lines of a credit union, but not federally insured so not a federal crime, we used a couple small blocks of plastic explosive that I got from another friend whose father (and thus, him) worked construction - he knew where the keys to the demo shed were kept and came up on 4 small blocks, about the size of two Now-n-Laters squished together - I couldn't tell you the weight, don't ask. Anyway, some wire and a 12v battery and the heavy duty safe that place kept their cash in was much less effective.... couldn't hear a thing for about three days, but we split $34k three ways. That other buddy? Supposed to be involved every time, very flakey, never showed up for anything I was involved in... then it happened.
Mr. Flakey, who I was also 'friends' with, he's broke. I'm chillin at our main chill spot (the home of my now-current fiancee, in fact), where our whole clique was always hanging out at, he approaches me to ask can he borrow some money. I'm like, "where the hell you been, bro, we're working." He's like, "I know, stuff keeps coming up." Well, all my cash is at home and I'm not about to go all the way home to loan this guy 50 bucks. He asks if I have my pistol on me. By now, I've got a nice off-brand 1911 and I always have it on me. "Daddy's got a new .45" like he says in the song. So he's like, "Well, let's knock of a pizza guy." I'm like, "lol no". He begs... I'm like, "**** it, what's the worst that could happen?"
The worst that could happen is a very random patrol car could match our description to the report they just heard over the radio and nab us across the street from safety. The worst that could happen is, despite having neither the money or the gun on us at that point, thus, no evidence of any wrongdoing other than the very shaky ID of a man who saw us for seconds in a very dark alley - not useful in court at all - Mr. Flakey spills his guts at the slightest pressure from the detective who interviewed him while I was in the next room denying everything. They come up with the gun and the cash from that robbery, as well as the reamining 7 stacks that was at my apartment after his statement got them a search warrant.
The worst that could happen was he didn't just tell on the robbery he begged me to do, he told them everything he knew about everything, so my other two partners also got locked up. The worst that could happen? 6.5-13 years in a state penitentiary, followed by a 3 year stint for what was technically escape when I walked away from a halfway house and vanished for 4 years.
Altogether, 9.5 years inside... now I only violence people on internet videogames.

Once you get past the first 6 months inside, if you ain't dead yet it's hard to do something stupid enough to become dead. You figure out who's who, which ones to work with, which ones to stay out of their way, which ones to pass your time and "bid" with... I played D&D on the yard, chess and poker on the block, worked as a GED tutor/teacher's aide. Learned to play bass (love my 4-string Epiphone Thunderbird IV Reverse - it's my facebook cover photo). Wasn't as bad as the movies make it out to be. More Shawkshank Redemption than Oz.

Made an Orc with one eye blinded and dark red warpaint looking like blood smeared across his face artlessly with his right hand.
Dear Llast.
I don't know who you are, but when everything calmed down and I could try to think again, I found your name scrawled on a tattered slip of paper in my pocket. Things are going strangely for me... I have no touchstone. So writing letters to a strange name, given the circumstances, seems as good a plan as any.
I woke up in the back of a cart with two soldiers and a horse thief. Whiny sot, that one. Died. Not important. The Empire tried to execute me with the soldiers. I'm not even one of them. Suddenly, Dragon. Not hundreds of them, just one. But I sh*t you not, an honest to gods dragon. All hell broke loose, but I kept it calm, got to safety. One of the soldiers I was in the cart with led me into a little turret in the town's wall..
Didn't last long. Dragon was on a rampage. I still kept it calm. That soldier pointed out how I could jump to the second floor of the inn across the alley, so I did... . and ran into one of the bastards tryin' to execute me. Hadvar, his name was. Filthy human. Are you human?
Anyway, he tells me to follow him if I wanna live. I make a ruckus about my hands still being bound, but I don't think he heard me, what with the dragon screeching and shouting. It's like the old legends... they don't just belch flame. They speak and flame gouts forth! It's like... words. I had the strangest feeling if I only knew the language, I could do the same thing. It was like a pressure building in my chest to shout right back at the ugly bastard...
Weird, I know.
So I follow Hadvar and we run into the rebel soldier again. I have to choose between the two of 'em, and for fear of the Imperial cutting me down if I go with the rebel, I stick with Hadvar. He finally cuts me loose when we go inside and invites me to rummage through the chests for gear. I find some armor and a couple of swords... then I find a servicable battleaxe. You know, one of the big ones. I heft it a few times and eye that Hadvar fellow who'd ordered me to the chopping block... but I realize I don't know my way around this keep. I need this human. For now.
We fight our way through the bowels of the earth, beneath the keep, to a secret exit Hadvar knew, killing a couple of rebels along the way. They wouldn't just leave us alone... too wrapped up in their war to just escape the bloody dragon. Humans...
When we got out into the open air, we could see the dragon flying away. And as I looked around, just before I took Hadvar's head, I realized... I have no idea where I am. I've never been to Skyrim. I never intended to come to Skyrim. But Hadvar's talking about an uncle in the next town down the road. I still need this bastard.
He takes me to see this uncle, a blacksmith. The uncle makes no big deal of me being an Orc, offers me hospitality. Now I can't kill Hadvar. People think us orcs are savage brutes... and we are. But we got rules.
I'm sleeping at Uncle Alvor's shop... tomorrow I'll try to figure this all out.
Whoever you are...

I don't suppose you're able to lower the settings any on PS3? I've never played it on console.
As to Orcs being literate, The Gourmet is an Orc and he wrote a book  I've always seen Orcs, at least ever since WoW, as being much less bestial than their reputation suggests; a victim of ignorance on the part of the so-called "goodly" races who can't see past their rough, warty skin and sharp, oft-broken tusks to deal with the intelligence behind the angry-looking eyes (I'm not angry, this is how my face is shaped!). Of course... Pale-eye is clearly not a benevolent soul, as evidenced by his desire to kill his 'rescuer' until he had a reason not to.

Dear Llast,
Remember I told you about Uncle Alvor, that Imperial flunky's blacksmith uncle? Well, he's talkin' a good line about "take whatever ya need, within reason." Apparently, 'reason' doesn't include decent kit or materials to smith m'own. Seriously, these imperial duds are just that - duds. I feel like a newborn babe wearing this junk. And I think the Empire's men robbed me when they put me in that cart, 'cause I got nothin' but the few coins uncle Alvor had to offer.
Fortunately, the shopkeep here in Riverwood had recently been robbed and, even if it wasn't great, I had a serviceable axe. So I slogged up the hill to this Bleak Falls Barrow place and sorted those bandits out in a hurry. Stupid humans... wearing furs and toting iron, thinking themselves unassailable just because fools like that Hadvar are scared of the imposing architecture. I'll say this, though - they were doin' well for themselves. I found a good deal of gold on their corpses.
When I found the ringleader, he was wrapped up in some giant frostbite spider's webbing, beggin' for help. He said he'd give me the shopkeep's heirloom if I just cut 'im down. So I did. I cut 'im down and then I cut 'im down. Rummaging through his crap, I found the golden claw with some strange markings on it... and a journal. Detailing how the claw was some manner of key. "Well," I think to myself, "I'm here now... might as well check this out."
The dead walk. Dozens of them. I had to fight my way through the huge underground complex of crypts to find the door with the lock the claw was supposed to open... and inside, far in the back of a rough-hewn cave, I found a strange, smoothly curved wall with a lot of old glyphs carved into it. Most of it was too badly marred to make anything of it, but as I approached, I felt a strange pulling... I could hear some otherworldly whispering and my one good eye seemed to get all blurry - except for when I looked at one area of the carvings. It was a little scary... but suddenly, the dawning of understanding struck me like the warhammer I'd just pulled out of a chest in the cave. It was a word! ...a word like the dragons shout.
And I understood it.
But it feels like something's... missing. Like I am not all I am supposed to be. I do not have the right to shout this word, yet. But I also feel that, when I find what it is I'm lacking... when I am able to shout.... to Shout... all men would do well to tread lightly in my view.

In my experience, hearty meals are never the way to get in her pants faster. It'll put you in "potential life partner" category faster, but something tasty and light does the trick better.
One of my favorite (and most successful) dates:
I took my girlfriend for a late-night picnic; we picked up some nice designer coffees and pastries at a trendy little shop called Cosi and then walked a few blocks to a little-known spot here in Philly called Drexel Park. It's on the Drexel U. campus and sits a little above the river with an awesome view of the Philadelphia skyline, with these artistic benches... very nice, very romantic.
It came to mind because of the 'tasty and light' thing. This, combined with a new experience (for both of us, i'd heard about the spot but never been there) made for an excellent night and memory :)

Llast.
I wonder if the couriers have even found you, yet. You may be a construct at this point, but at least having "someone", or the idea of "someone" to share this with seems to help with my sanity. I wouldn't be the first orc to lose his sh*t and start feeding the stereotypes.
The dead walk, as I've said, but there's a ton of coin down in those old ruined barrows.
I made my way to Whiterun and spoke to the Jarl. Surprisingly easy to get within arm's length of the man. His captain, this "Irileth", is either very foolish or very capable of defending him from any threats. She's a bit abrasive, but I like her. Not bad, for an elf. Anyway, I'm not in Dragonsreach - the keep at Whiterun - long before a guard runs in with a report of a dragon sighting at the western watch tower. Irileth gathers some soldiers and I meet the lot of them at the outpost.
It was in ruins. Dead scattered all about, the flames hazing the sky with thick black smoke. And then it Shouted. Mirmulnir. He seemed to glory in calling his own name. I'm not much for archin', so I didn't land a single arrow. But when the beast alit, I charged him with the fancy, lightning-imbued hammer I found at Bleak Falls Barrow and put a swift end to his savagery. As he fell, he screamed "Dovakhin! No!" I don't know what it meant.
As I began to pick apart the carcass for useful scraps of bone and scale, something... strange... happened. I don't even want to get into it. Then on the way back to Whiterun, that same word, Dovakhin, thundered across the tundra. The ground shook with the force of the Shout. I think something is calling me...
But I need more gold. I think I'm gonna join the Companions.

Mate, everything in Philly is fairly close to somewhere you can hear automatic weapons :p Before the city started dumping a lot of cash into rezoning and rebranding certain neighborhoods, especially. A lot of money's been spent on taming the neighborhoods closest to the colleges, but at the end of the day they're still near (and some of them are in) North Philly, which is the sort of place you don't go at night if you don't know you belong there.
Still though, one of the most beautiful sky lines in the country, maybe in the world's top 15-20 or so, all lit up at night... "When the moon hits her eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore!"

You would get $500 if you were reported for saying the word bittch. Anything deemed sexist. You could say assshole and fucck all day tho.Then I notice all the clerks are young hot girls. I was a young guy at the time so I was like double WOAH. But now as a wiser and older dude, my god the shenanigans there must have been out of control. I meet up with my contact on the floor.. An Italian philly guy. My boss at the time had completely hooked this guy up. Brought him up from going out of business to booming in $$. So the guy was super awesome to me in appreciation. Shakes my hand starts introducing me to everyone we see type of thing. Overwhelming to say the least. So I go into the changes I am going to make, and how to get them set up with our dude in NY.. when a floor official comes over and says in a hard philly accent that someone wanted them to come ova and talk to dem about dat trade. So my guy goes from super friendly and jovial nice to me to beet red face and screams into his face that that ************ is coming over to him and he can fuckin eat that trade or he'll beat his dome in. Third WOAH. A floor official is like a referee. You can get kicked out of the exchange forever for that in california.. but my god to threaten and talk like that.. and before I can complete the thought floor official walks away to obey. That, to me, was epic as ****. So a day or two later I figure it's time to start checking these clerk girls out and see what's up. Well, first of all they looked beautiful, all done up, etc. Then I was like hey what's up to one, and my god the accent, mouth, and brutality of her. I was like nope! no way am I in her league lol. edited to make swear words come through for clarity's sake
Ah, yes. The accent. How long did it take you to figure out wtf "wooder" meant? lol

Dear Llast,
I've joined the Companions, like I was thinking about doing. I like Farkas... simple brute, but trustworthy. There's another, Aela. They call her 'Huntress.' She comes off as a ***** at first, but she's proving to be a very loyal Shield-sister. One of our Shield-brothers fell, recently - bit off more than he could chew. We avenged his death, but she wasn't satisfied. Frankly, neither am I. I feel... hungrier, lately. For battle, I mean. And she and I are of one blood, now.
So I've come to the Rift to pursue a lead on the group whose members killed Skjor. As soon as I entered Riften, I started to become aware of a deep corruption in this place, at the municipal level. This, in turn, brought to my attention a deal that had been struck to sell a horse. It turns out the horse being sold wasn't technically the seller's horse to sell. It belongs to his family. But the seller, he didn't want to cross the buyer, so he asked me to go steal the horse and its papers and deliver them...
But the buyer is kind of a jerk. And I have the horse and the ownership papers... and I'm tired of walking. 1000 gold is a lot to pay for horseflesh, but every stable seems adamant on that price.
My new horse's name is Frost. He's a pretty one. Now I'm off to look into this Silver Hand business.

Dear Llast,
I found myself in Ivarstead, trying to help some young filly sort out her love life for the Priestess at the Temple of Mara in Riften... I know, given the turns my life has taken, it seems an odd thing to concern myself with. I just felt like if I didn't see something more than blood and thunder, I might lose myself in the beast. I needed a touchstone of normalcy and sanity. Skyrim is a place of madness!
But since I was in Ivarstead, I looked up at the mountain, rising into the clouds... at the Seven Thousand Steps. The Greybeards had Shouted a summons. I'd been avoiding it, but now I was there... it seemed wrong not to go and see what it all means. And as I rode Frost across the bridge to the base of the stairway to High Hrothgar, I realized I truly wanted to know. Why could I sort of understand the dragons' Shouts. Why had I been filled with the power of the dragon I'd slain west of Whiterun? Maybe they could tell me. And they did. They even taught me more. The Imperials still want me to join. I don't know about that... it seems to me that if the gods have given me such a powerful gift, there must be more to it than helping on faction of humans best another faction of humans.
That's one thing the Greybeards couldn't tell me: what it all means.
Oh, and I found this girl that Sibbi Black-briar guy was looking for. She was singing and playing lute at the inn in Ivarstead. I went back and told the jerk she'd fled to Morrowind. She should be safe, now. At least, for a while... I hope that should he ever find her, she can find a way to get word to me. She seemed a sweet enough girl... for a human. And I'd love to smash his head in with my warhammer.

I've just begun my grind through ME1 and 2 to get to 3 with a save file from the previous games. Once I get through ME3, I'll be back to Skyrim and looking at which game I missed to check out next.

Llast,
I must admit, I am not surprised to find that you're real but I am surprised to find that any of my letters made their way to you. A pleasant surprise.
I recently stumbled upon a grisly scene at an elaborate shrine to the Nords' god-hero, Talos, in the woods not far from Lake Ilinalta. A Thalmor Justicar murdered a handful of peasants, apparently there to make devotions to their outlawed god. The elf either succumbed to injuries sustained in the process or was subsequently murdered in turn by someone else.
A short time after this, I found myself in Ivarstead, and went on up to Hrothgar, as I mentioned - I don't know if you received that missive, yet. Anyway, the old men sent me to retrieve an artifact for them... well, someone else predicted that this might happen and decided to play a little game with me. I don't like being toyed with, but their motives seem pure enough. This series of events led me to a small town called Kynesgrove, where a dragon was about to be raised from its torpor. After destroying this dragon while it was still weak, unduly impressing the innkeeper-who-would-be-a-hero, I rode for Windhelm for some decent food and a bit of song. While there, I decided to visit the Palace of Kinds, Ulfric Stormcloak's seat of power. I wanted to see how he was getting on after Helgen. I wanted to know if it was true that he can also Shout, and if so, why the Greybeards had not heard him and called him Dragonborn as well.
I do not think that he can Shout. I think the Imperial soldiers had him gagged because his voice is powerful and his words... I have never heard a more eloquent human. I walked in on a conversation between the Jarl and one of his captains. They were discussing the possibility of storming Whiterun if Jarl Balgruuf could not be swayed to throw in his lot with the rebellion. Ulfric seems to have a genuine love for his people and the wisdom of a war of succession may be questionable, he has an Orcish heart. I haven't been so inspired by a leader since I left Orsinium. Speaking of Orcish hearts, thank you for giving my kinsman a good death. In the end, that's what all Orcs want, be they miner or warrior.
The Thalmar have bad intentions all around, it seems. The Empire has no right, treaty or no treaty, to tell an entire people that their god is forbidden. Leaving flowers in front of a statue isn't hurting anyone. If the black dragon reviving his kin is allowed to continue, if the wyrms are permitted to grow in numbers and strength, all of Tamriel is in danger. The scourge is growing in Skyrim, so it must be defeated here. And the Empire persecuting the Nords and prosecuting a war in Skyrim can serve no good end.
It sounds like you, too, are in Skyrim? If you are, then you already know the darkest days are still ahead of us. I hope you are strong...
Watch the skies, and may your arrows fly true.

Quote:Backpedal at 90%:
* 5.45 m/sec - Scout forward movement speed
* 3.83 m/sec - Hakyou backward movement speed (Gêå 0.68 m/sec)
* 5 meters - Starting distance between Scout and Hakyou
* 3.07 sec - Time until Scout reaches Hakyou (Gêå 2.19 sec)
Backpedal at 85%:
* 5.45 m/sec - Scout forward movement speed
* 3.61 m/sec - Hakyou backward movement speed (Gêå 0.64 m/sec)
* 5 meters - Starting distance between Scout and Hakyou
* 2.72 sec - Time until Scout reaches Hakyou (Gêå 1.45 sec)
If the Assault was not capable of fatsuit HP numbers (which means he will require a full charged shot by IshNoks, and more than one full charged shot from ZN's or lower, I would be fine with the 2.19 second closing time. However, since he will have fatsuit eHP, and I have to blow most of a second to charge my knives or just die anyway, I think the only way I have a fighting chance to kill him once he's aware of me is if the closing time is ~1.5 seconds. Making 85% much more desirable.
Shotguns kill at 6m just fine, in my personal experience (i.e., getting killed from 6-8m by shotguns, often), so I daresay it's us knifers who need this the most.

Shotguns kill at 6m just fine, in my personal experience (i.e., getting killed from 6-8m by shotguns, often), 3. so I daresay it's us knifers who need this the most. 1. Point of clarification. Gêå represents how much time Hakyou "lost" by stacking all those plates. At 90% backpedal, it'd take our scout 3.07 sec to catch him. If he weren't wearing any plates, it'd take scout our scout 5.26 seconds to catch him. I'll remove Gêå ... it is ambiguous. 2. Next time you're running your SG, find a stationary infantry unit (can be friendly) and watch your Efficiency Rating as you move toward and away from him. 5m is the absolute maximum distance you can shoot from for full damage. You deal damage out a 'bit further, but it declines rapidly for each step outside of 5 meters, as your Efficiency Rating drops (i.e. damage penalty per pellet) and the further you're out the fewer pellets will hit your target. Scouts get gibbed at 6-8m because Scouts are squishy :-) 3. Agreed.
Ohhh... I see, now. Damn. Backpedal speed needs a much more dramatic nerf, then. It takes literally zero time to melt a scout running at you while you backpedal. IF they're not bricktanked to 800 HP. In which case, they're definitely not fit for speed, stealth OR knifing.

Llast,
I am conflicted. But my course is set in the frozen stone of this heartless land.
An errand for Mara took me to Markarth, where I could not help but become embroiled in the Reach's politics. I am not the type to leave well-enough alone. I was jailed unjustly because of that city's corruption, but I managed to win my freedom behind an uprising of the King in Rags, Madanach, leader of the Forsworn. Now the Forsworn are surging more than ever in the Reach, and the Jarl will continue paying good gold to those who slay them.
But that is not why I am conflicted. They lost a war. That's their fault. Many of them live in mines, by Malacath! They should learn to smith better arms.
No, I am troubled because I liked Jarl Balgruuf the Greater, of Whiterun. I even respected his personal bodyguart, a dark elf named Irileth. But I threw in my lot with the Stormcloaks' rebellion, sympathizing with their desire to live and worship as they please, rather than obey the whims of the Aldmeri Dominion and the damned elves. I had a Thalmor tell me of their racial superiority... if I wasn't standing in Understone Keep surrounded by the Jarl's guards, I would've taken that elf's head on the spot.
Jarl Ulfric sent me to Whiterun to deliver a war axe to Balgruuf. It seems this is a Nord tradition. If Balgruuf accepted the gift, it would mean that Ulfric could count on his support. If he refused it, there would be blood. Whiterun is one of the first places I came to in this realm. Here I helped Balgruuf by slaying the dragon that was terrorizing his hold. Here I made many friends... Ysolda, the aspiring merchant. The produce seller, Carlotta, whom I helped by discouraging an amorous bard who was harassing her. Amren, whose family sword I recovered from bandits. The list goes on... Balgruuf even named me Thane and allowed me to purchase Breezehome, right next door to the smithy! I liked that home...
Before I went back to Windhelm with Ulfric's axe, I stopped at Breezehome to tell my housecarl, Lydia, to take my adopted daughter, Lucia, and my wife and make their way to my holdings in the Pale.
I hope they do not worry overmuch when they see the smoke rising to the south. I know that Ulfric will want me there in his vanguard. I will have to kill many people who I've come to see as friends. I have ordered the Companions to sit this one out... they will remain in Jorvasskr while their Harbinger removes Balgruuf from the throne in Dragonsreach.
The sun is rising over Skyrim. And Whiterun is first.

All I could think of when it happened was, "Jace, this is why people think Orcs are dumb." lol

Yes, we bloody-well can.
Scan profile and precison is measured in decibels.
This means that our suits' electronics are picking us up based not only on our electronic signature but the amount of noise our suits are making.
Armor plates should carry a scan profile penalty. It should be done in such a way that if you're stacking up to logi (almost heavy!) level hit points on your 4/5 lowslot scout suit, then even a heavy will see your ass coming on tacnet. Cloak or no cloak. I'm talking about a dra-freaking-matic penalty here. One plate, every scout's gonna see you even if the rest of your lows are damps. More than one plate, might as well not damp at all (which these brick-tank scouts aren't doing anyway, so that won't change... only thing that will change is they won't be able to have brick tank AND stealth anymore).

Alright. Read it too many times, tired of seeing it.
We weren't ALL here since beta, we don't ALL have 50+ million skill points. One does not simply "level" anything when the weekly SP cap is at 180k (or whatever low number it is).
It's literally a matter of months to skill into a proto suit of another race, meanwhile getting absolutely crushed, especially in PC but even in pubs, by all the people who have the luxury of having been around longer and having millions of unallocated SP just sitting around waiting for the next FOTM OR better yet already having spent the SP on everything and conveniently already being skilled into the upcoming FOTM.
When I see "skill into the FOTM instead of lobbying for a better-balanced game", I am at a loss for a well-reasoned, tightly thought out argument to present. My argument basically boils down to "**** you and your SP."

Adipem Nothi wrote:Agreed. In my mind, a bonus to knives or hacks is nigh useless if your position is being broadcasted to nearby hostiles. As this overlaps a 'bit with Gallente's "infiltration" role, I'd prefer to see something like Bor's idea implemented, such that Minmatar actively manage their scan profiles using cloak.
Minmatar (dampened)
* Cloak
* Hurry In
* Hurry Out
* Decloak
Gallente (dampened)
* Not on TacNet (cloak optional)
I see no problem with that approach - except that it's still assuming pro suit with pro cloak.
It's kinda sad when I'm having more fun on Skyrim replays, and now checking out this XCOM and being content to let passive SP accumulate for a few months so I can log in, unlock all the proto stuff and feel like I actually have a chance with scouts on the enemy team. I'm waiting for Charlie, when my 2x cDamp on the ADV suit might be more survivable.
For the record, it's not the 'hard mode' that's got me down - that's fine. What's gotten more aggravating than I can ignore is getting under 200k ISK out of a winning match where I have 10+ kills and over 1500 WP, but took 7 or 8 losses to get there... losses costing me 61k ISK per suit. I die 4 times, I'm not even breaking even. And when everybody sees you coming but you can't see them, you die. Often. Unless you're sniping.
I'm tired of sniping for 10-15 matches to buy enough suits to play 3-4 matches the way I enjoy (run around, stab all the mercs, shoot the other ones, hack all the things) playing. And watching all the NS, FA, ML, DL, ERA, etc. with all their ISK from the old PC running all PRO, all the time because losing 10 PRO suits in a match doesn't even impact their wallets - yeah, that doesn't really help, either.

Okay, stopped, dropped everything to attempt a LW mod that wound up not working (at least, I couldn't make it work and the issue I ran into wasn't posted about in the thread, so... screw it). So I'm starting over, this time with an idea of how the game works and what to expect.
I'm putting my step-son in that first heavy suit (first mission sole-survivor). After that I'll be running with Matticus Monk, Cass P., Llast Orwell, Cyclops Rex, Ghost Kaisar, Bayeth Mal and Shotty GoBang (in no particular order) with the nicknames from the other two threads. Oh, also Arkena Wyrnspire since he started all this. (She? Dunno, no offense intended if incorrect).
Going Normal Ironman (I'm a rookie, not putting difficulty any higher than that... yet).
Will post AARs in the straight-forward style Ghost's using.

I've found I see undamped scouts with the Adv PE, but (without knowing the math to cite - App?) that one PE is defeated by anyone with any dampening fitted. You should see the bricktanked slayer scouts and the guys running logi and commando suits with cloaks (though you may see them regardless?

People keep saying how easy is to see cloaked players, but i'm still using it and imo it's very effective, especially when i have to hack things. Of course if you run straight at your target you will not get anything good out of your cloaking device.
I was more commenting on the lack of need for cloak to be effective with knives. Without the dampening bonus from the PRO cloak, which only fits on the mk.0 suit, I just don't see the point in running it when I can just as well avoid contect by keeping one eye on tacnet as I'm travalling from place to place.

Fair enough. I have my own wasted SP so I know how much that sucks.
If you wanna wind up turning your scout into your main, though, I recommend running with the best damps you can, and improving them as soon as you can, and behaving as if you were still cloaked. I took all three ewar skills to 3 then went for cDamps. Only thing that confounded me was the CalScout who saw me and the GalScout I couldn't see. Now it's the Amarr scout that'll see you.
If you can avoid them, you're golden. Granted, that are one or two maps with a killing field minus 'hills' to run behind as you travel, but still. Try running a few matches without the cloak and you'll be better at running with the cloak. It keeps one honest, imo. ymmv

Ah, Mobile CRU.
So last night, I'm feelin' it. I'm in FW. I decide I'm gonna break out the Republic mk.0 gear because lol 1300 LP/match, they're suddenly cost-effective to get a KC or CB + 2x damps and PRO cloak.
I need to be at Alpha, 'cause I'm stabbing all the things (6-kill streak, die, 4 kill streak, die, 5 kill streak, die, uplinks now cleared or exhausted). Closest thing to Alpha is a tank with a CRU. I say 'sure, I'll spawn into his tank and hop out'. It's FW. Friendly fire enabled... friendly ROAD KILL enabled. And he doesn't have a single secondary turret fitted. So I spawn in and immediately get run over by this idiot who has a mobile CRU fitted without small turret seats, in FW. I punish and switch to frontline and spawn on him again. And die. I do this 9 times, because I'm curious how many TKs you have to get punished for before you get kicked from the match. After the 9th time, which is 10 TKs total (assuming nobody else spawned on him and died for it) I watch on the death map as he drives away and recalls his tank, I later see him derping around in a Gorgon. 10 punished TKs is not enough to get kicked from a FW match?

I'm halfway there. I get to level 10 standings, I'm shooting blues with Thale's.
I actually did that by accident a couple of weeks ago. Had a headshot lined up on a tanked out logi suit, just as I pull the trigger, some blueberry appears out of nowhere to run the guy over in his LAV... and gets shot in the head by me. Worst luck ever. He sent me a mail that said "Damn. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time!" I replied with "Sorry, m8, didn't even see you coming in :(" and sent him 100k for his suit.
EDIT: Was cool of that blueberry to immediately understand that I must've been shooting at the guy he was trying to kill and not be all :rage: about it.

I remember seeing this advertised when I was still locked up. It seemed a fascinating concept, to have a television series with a co-inciding online game, the events of which would effect the storyline of the television series. But it occurred to me then that if the TV series flopped, or the game flopped, the other must also flop. So they'd have to put out an awesome game with an awesome show... and what are the odds of that happening?

Hold hope that maybe the machinations of Symbioticforks, myself, and a few others works out so that you have that option against, but as far as right now goes, sniping in a scout suit is a waste of space on your team. 
Valid points and I can certainly see how you came to your conclusion.
Allow me to retort. /samjackson
I run the Minmatar scout suit, as you know. And I have no SP invested into any other suits. It is, quite literally, my only option for sniping at the moment. I snipe in the M/1-Series suit because it has three highs, in which I have three damage mods (Enh, not yet able to invest SP in the Comps - too much other stuff I need with higher priority). In the lows, I run 2x cDamps. I run the Charge and the Thale's on that dropsuit. The Charge, I carry a compact and an uplink (which I may or may not use - if I get countersniped, I'm not going back to that position because the enemy sniper knows where I was... and by him killing me, or her, I'll have a decent idea where they are - so at that point, the uplink, if they've seen it as well, is a red herring for them to watch/keep checking on while I'm repositioning to end their sniping run). With the Thale's, I run two Compacts, because I'll be damned if some blueberry with a forge gun is going to spawn in on my sniper nest and give my position away with his blinding blue beacon of death. Because I'm rarely in the redline. There's only a couple of maps where my favorite spots are in the red.
As you know, the Compact Nanohive gives you a very small dome of effect and 2 refills for a SR, making it useful and very concealable as compared to the regular nanohive which gives away so many snipers' positions. I will occasionally give a cursory sweep of the scope (and without the scope) of common sniper hides, looking for that dome of effect. Sometimes, without the scope, you'll see it through a mountain across the map because CCP doesn't know how to code rendering in their game. When I see the dome that way, I feel slightly bad about killing that sniper - because through the scope, his nanohive was hidden but CCP got him killed. C'est la vie, mais non?
The purpose of the damps is to hide me from most of the scouts who will come looking, and from all of the non-scouts. I'm not worried about LAV scanners, I'm only worried about specialized scanning scouts - of which there are fewer now than before. I'm considering running an mk.0 scout for the third damp. When I can run the Calmando suit, I will likely take advantage of the luxury of having a suit that can tank a headshot from a Charge rifle, but until that day comes, I do well enough, and feel safe enough, sniping in my scout frame.
A word on mobility:
Some maps have only a few 'decent' sniper perches. Often an enemy sniper will be reported, and I make sure my squad knows to tell me his rifle, his suit, where they were when they died and what the range was. I will then look at the map and figure out where I'd be to snipe into that location. If the likely spots are in view from my location, I'll sweep them. If I can't see the sniper, or if the likely spots are outside my vantage... I will move, relying on my damps to keep me out of trouble as much as possible. My sidearm when running the Charge rifle? ZN-28's. With the Thale's? Adv SMG.
Do I die sometimes, because of not being in the red and not sniping in a 900+ hp suit? Sure. But I also stop hacks, counterhacks and eliminate Proto gallogi suits with 900+ hp and the occasional proto sentinel suit who wasn't near enough to cover to avoid my followup shot after the first headshot panics him. With Sentinel snipers, even if I don't get the kill, usually that's one Thale's that's no longer a threat to my team. I've found snipers in the Calmando suit to be more persistent and cagey... but they still die. If they outsnipe me in our duel, I'll just go stab them in the redline, and I don't care if I have to use (and lose) a Viper to do it.

If you decide to try the shotgun game, swap your sidearm. Don't run knives as a backup to the shotgun until you're super comfortable with it.
On the other hand, if you choose to run the shotgun as a backup to your knives, this is viable. The SG will pound the pud of whomever thinks they can just backpedal away from your knives. I did this for a few days, but I felt kinda bad about it. Then I fell into the mental trap of just using the SG, and when they got out of range of it, or it ran out of ammo, being 8m away, and having knives as a backup got me killed.
So I went back to knives/pistol or knives/CR. Safer that way (I still die a lot because I commit to the knives and don't switch to my firearm but vOv)

killdz 102 wrote:what about the assault rifle to knives?
I'm the last guy to ask about ARs, tbh. I don't really run them, never have. If I had to spout conjecture, though, I think that in theory it should be okay if your gun game is decent, because if you're trying to knife then you'll be getting pretty close in anyway and I hear tell that the rail rifle suffers in close quarters.
I should note, though, that if you're intending the knives as your secondary weapon, if you run out of ammo on your primary, you will always be caught out by not having a fallback gun. If you're swapping from AR to knives because someone's gotten in too close, you'll die in that second it takes to charge the knives OR you'll die because they survive the uncharged slashes, OR you'll die because you miss with the knives. IMO, any gun is the secondary to your knives - if you're going to carry the blades, you gotta commit to living and dying by the blades.
Embrace the death. The ancestors will reward you with glorious kills. If you're good, maybe even hatemail.

I do kinda feel for the Cal Scouts that skilled into it just for that, but on the other hand it's nice to know that with limited high slots, the Golden Boy can only see so much.

Based on number of high slots (in which to put damage mods), at what tier does the Calmando have a higher alpha strike with the Charge SR than a suit without a rail rifle damage bonus running 3 damage mods?
For that matter, how many highs do the three tiers of Calmando get?

Progression is 2/0, 2/1, 3/1 for Calmando and +2% damage per level. On the C-I you can fit 2 complex damage mods and a charge sniper rifle (at the cost of no secondary weapon and really bad EQ)
What it really has, though, is a very high Shield HP value which gives you a whole lot of leeway when other snipers are trying to shoot you.
At C-I, is the two damage mods and 2%/4% racial better than 3x damage mods and no racial?
At C/1-series, is the 2 mods and 6%/8% better?
At ck.0 I should assume 3x mods plus the 10% must obviously be better... but is it worth it to take the SP away from saving for mk.0 scout for the sake of getting a C/1-Series commando, or should I go ahead and finish out what I've been grinding and worry about getting the ck.0 Commando afterward?
Because I snipe almost as much as I knife - especially when I'm low on ISK.

so at lvl 2 you will be doing the same, anything after lvl 2 and the use of 2 damage mods will be doing better damage.. fitting wise I have no clue
Then at C/1-Series, I begin to see benefit from the Commando frame that I would not otherwise attain by sniping with 3x damage mods on the scout frame... interesting. SP event week is coming up, too... decisions, decisions.

SMG for a side arm for assaulting other snipers nearby, NK is good but if they spot you you're toast.
I use a cloak for traversing and popping my head out to spot my targets.
If I get more than maybe 3-5 kills from a given spot I relocate.
One shot kills are not factored as they don't get a directional indicator.
I'm largely focused on counter sniping though. Some matches are simply hilarious. Pinging 3 snipers all next to each other because of their lack of awareness before the 4th clicks to it and gets killed running away.
I like that map with the towers, where 5 or 6 guys will all spawn up there as soon as they see the link and start sniping. And they won't stop spawning up there til the link is exhausted. And they never find me, the best they do is get smart and stay away from my side of the tower... so I move.

What it comes down to, for me, is the idea behind the cap. The only logical reason for any limit on SP gain is to "prevent" a circumstance where no-lifers with more time to invest than regular adults with lives/jobs/families/college courses, even, skyrocket into all the best, hardest hitting, most survivable gear while everyone else is left behind in basic fits. This would "prevent" a few players from stomping the majority of players.
That's fine, early on. Now we've got this circumstance where a lot of people have the top-level content AND and endless reserve of ISK because A: old PC and B: they run top gear and die so infrequently that their ISK has organically accumulated past the point of caring about the number anymore. That problem is compounded by CCP's failure to give us player trading, so they have very little to actually spend all that ISK on.
Now I know, because I see it in game, that there're a decent handful of players buying the Aurum proto with their level 3 skills (much like I did with the Fleshriver knives when I had an extra 20 bucks to throw away on Aurum. It's most evident when I see Neo proto suits with subpar hp on target intel. People are spending real money to get into a proto frame faster in hopes of keeping up, but they don't have the suit's racial bonuses skilled up, so they're getting wrecked just as easily as if they were in STD or ADV suits. Then I see players, far less frequently, who do have the racials skilled up but are using Aur proto frames anyway - I have to assume these are the ones who weren't in PC corps before the PC nerf, who aren't rolling in bottomless piles of ISK? I dunno, whatever. That's a tangent. The point is this:
At the point Dust has reached now, none of the reasons for the bonus SP cap exist anymore.

So much corporate money in the neighborhood, laws traditionally lax in that area now strictly enforced, everything homogenized... feelsbadman.jpg Is that on the way to the Acella (sp?) train station.. is it Penn station? Penn's in NYC iirc. I think the Acela stops at 30th Street Station; Amtrak runs through there.
South Street is approximately 8 blocks south of Market Street, 30th St. Stn. is at 30th & Market. You could walk from the train station to South Street, but it'd be a bit of a hike and the streets get a little twisty around the river so a tourist might have to ask for directions once or twice on the way.

I didn't care tho. I've seen and been to some of the worst neighborhoods in Chicago.That's where all the best parties were.
That whole area got cleaned up, thanks to the new Amtrak building, basically. Amtrak put billions of dollars into that project, and thus the city, and in return the city made life real hard for those places operating on Market Street. I remember there was an awesome bookstore/theater at 22nd and Market. I went by there in march of last year and the building had been razed. Luckily an almost as good theater spot is still right around the corner at 20th and Sansom with a bathhouse right next door. Still, was sad to see it gone... lots of fun memories of that place.
Another contributing factor to the clean up is Drexel U. being right on the other side of the train station. tbh it never should've gotten so seedy in that area, but a string of bad mayors, you know?

The ******* RR is waaay better. With a Kalalalalalaa I can flank someone in a proto cal scout and then just start drilling. The CR range is just too insufficient in a field of RRs.
With the aCR you don't even need to flank, the other guy could even flank you. The aCR doesn't care, it'll kill them anyway. I'm not saying there isn't something wrong with the rail, but the aCR is far more common and a hell of a lot more lethal. And ScR? Really? I barely see 1 a game. I used to get killed by the BK-42.
Now my death screens all say "Kaalakiota Rail Rifle", "Viziam Scrambler Rifle" or "Something Something Burst Heavy Machine Gun".

Tanks needing gunners sounds right on, BUT, installations need adjustment.
Okay, so they don't shoot you unless you shoot them - unless they're being manned. The DPS of the Blaster installation is insane - they'll kill just as fast as a Madrugar with an Ion cannon - and they're too accurate shooting at infantry.
And the problem here, the main problem for tankers, is that stupid blueberries jump in your tank and shoot at the installation. Suddenly, you do not have a tank anymore because you weren't ready for it to be firing at you and didn't have time to react.
I took the gunner seats off my tanks and only call a party tank if I have someone in squad expressing interest in riding with me.

Any tips on wha tI could do with that with vehicles? I never even looked at the vehicles skill tree.
I started getting the hang of flying a derpship... but how is ADS to ADS combat? lame or good? They are quite costly I saw.
ADS v. ADS is pretty lame, imo, but then I suck at ADS, so... From what I've seen of it, whoever has the higher skill (thus, higher ROF) will win or drive the enemy ADS off. Also, altitude wins.
As for tanking, fitting optimization and complex tank mods (shield or armor) are massively important. Armor repping tanks seem to have much higher survivability, shield tanks with hardeners chuckle at missile tanks... until the hardener is on cooldown, then that missile tank will instagib you.
For my alt, I'm at ADV and ENH on rail/shield skills, working on getting the PRO rail, then the complex shield mods. Going to go for the skill that lengthens duration of active modules so the hardener stays on longer and I think there's a skill that shortens cooldown too.

most of you know my main fits are amarr assault w/viz scr and cal shotty, so i will try to be fair in my assesment.
the scr on a. assault (due to bonus) does allow one to "spray and pray" at cqc, and a cal scout with scr and stacked damage mods w/ dampeners can get the drop on most suits and tear them a new one before they have time to say "oh ****!".However at longer ranges the gun itself does promote good gun game so i believe that as the shot travels, it stabilizes reaching its max dps charged or uncharged. while at close ranges since the shot hasn't had time to stabilize it doesn't reach its maxinum dps (just an idea >insert values/ranges< )
now the sg is a weapon that is used mostly by speed/stealth scouts who are trading most if not all of thier tank for that sneak attack ,adding a decloak delay would break that type of fit , so instead increase cloak shimmer so its harder to cross open ground
I don't think that's how the ScR works. Sounds like much more complicated coding than CCP's ever put into anything. Was that a suggestion, and I misunderstood your wording?
Shotgun scouts rarely sacrifice anything. When you get killed by a Gal or Amarr or BPO scout with a militia or BPO shotgun, or even an ADV shotgun (PRO shotguns are rare, too much ISK for not enough increase in damage), and your kill screen shows he had 600+ armor remaining, he's not sacrificing ANY tank at all.

The redline/rooftop arshole I'm counter-sniping is typically guaranteed a free warning shot. Dislike.
Well, allow me to retort.
Snipers in super-tanked proto sentinel suits are the noobiest of snipers, btw.

dunno, my stuff is linked downstairs and both were sent to Rhada/CPM IMHO, you guys should put Symbiotic's supa-stah power to use and start some dialogue. May I have link to it? Also can someone explain the rational for needing 600 meter range? I didn't even think infantry rendered that far out. 450 seems to be the max from my observations (I cant use a thales so i wouldn't know on the enhanced zoom being a factor or not; my max intel tag and hit register has been at 425.)
You're gonna make me open up Corel Painter. Gimme a few minutes. I'll take one or two maps, give up my favorite spots on those maps and illustrate that I do, in fact, need 600m and am not in the red zone.

Judge also made a youtube video "illustrating" how swarms that seem to explode into thin air and not ever hit the ADS they're chasing really are hitting. I've flown dropships away from swarms and taken no damage. I've fired swarms, watched them chase the dropship and explode 100m behind the vehicle, switched to my sniper rifle and seen through the scope/target intel that no, in fact, no damage was taken. All the fancy flying and slowing down just long enough to let one or two of the missiles catch up to him once he was well out of harm's way and could eat a volley made for good theatrics, but doesn't change the fact that either swarms need a buff (missile speed) or ADS need a nerf. Instead, through his cult of personality/leetness/whatever, he managed to lobby for a Python buff AND get himself elected to the CPM.
gg Judge. But you're full of ****.
Now:
Fracture Road: X is my favorite spot. People rarely look up there. Sometimes I'll drop down to the support beams halfway up the spire, but usually I just sit right up top. I've got height on spot Y, which is the most common spot and I have a shot at the Alpha CRU, Bravo CRU, much of Bravo, the Bravo roof - where people love spamming uplinks, the Alpha supply depot and most of the roof of the Alpha building, Charlie, and the enemy groundspawn/MCC drop area (if I'm starting from the Delta end of the road), especially useful when we have the enemy redlined. In Domination mode, it also is a great perch with a decent look at the Objective. Z is my second favorite spot, with a look at the Delta CRU, Alpha, Bravo CRU and Bravo. Take away the range of the weapon, and any of these perches lose their viability. An effective sniper needs a vantage point that allows them to effect the action at multiple points on the battlefield, not just one objective.
Ashland: Again, W is a favorite spot and very common - yes, it IS in the red zone, but it's only obstructed from view to enemy snipers along the ridge in their own red zone. Any place on the map that I can shoot at has a clear shot at me, and I've died up there plenty of times - even twice since switching to ck.0 Commando to snipe, including once by a Sica's militia railgun. X is another favorite, despite offering absolutely no cover. If you look up, you'll see me. It's not in the red line, anyone can climb up there from the Charlie end of the map. But it offers a look into Bravo that W doesn't offer, as well as a good look at Charlie. Both spots can reach Delta and the Delta CRU, Alpha and Echo (though position X has a much better look at Echo and can even target mercs trying to hack Echo. Look closely for Y - it's smaller, at the top of the central tower, and to a lesser extent out on the yellow crane arm a little way down from the top of the tower. It's got a very good vantage point over everything except Echo, including a nice look at the ridge I mentioned previously. From here, you can hit snipers in either red line... except for what seems to be the most popular spot for Thale's snipers on the blue side of the map. That's where position Z comes in. Up on top of that water drum thing, which has a ladder you can climb, you can see the other side of the hill behind the blue team ground spawn, which is where I've killed ak.0 Sentinels, gk.0 Logis and other heavily tanked suits running the Thale's rifle. After killing the Thale's, I'll typically hang out and take pot shots toward the Bravo CRU and down that whole lane before moving back to one of my preferred spots (W or X, generally). Here, at position Z, I'd still be able to reach the common spot for risk averse Thale's snipers with ~300m, but that's a very niche use. I've had many kills from position X in the 540-580m range. Less than 600m would be crippling, forcing me down to the rooftop of the groundspawn building which, while offering superior cover, offers much less field of effectiveness (i.e., I can't see **** from that roof and if I can't see it, I can't shoot it).
Another note on Ashland: On this map, heavy spam is quite popular. I usually end up with a final tally along the lines of 8/12/1 sniping on this map. More deaths if there's a better sniper than me on the other team. I'm fortunate to say I've never sniped against Appia, Symbioticforks or any of the other names thrown about as "elite snipers". But I do look forward to seeing their name in red on the killfeed with a SR, because I'll immediately hunt them.

The ones that want to sit with very little risk and range on everything. Most in a heavy suit so they can take shots and with no worry move a few m so they are safe. Yet you want to be able to 1 shot kill your targets.
A scout should be the best sniper for that reason. you want a 1 shot kill then you should be a 1 hit kill while sitting 200m in the air where nobody can reach you without a dropship. You want to be a slow moving sniper heavy then do in on the ground at 300m out of the redline.
less range for sniper will mean more scout snipers as they can get in closer uncloak shot cloak and move.
Down with the heavy redline, rooftop camping snipers. in with the scout mobile snipers.
Your entire argument doesn't apply to me. I'm sniping in a ck.0 commando suit. I have shield at level 5, armor at 3, I'm a OHK for any Charge rifle, Thale's rifle, Forge gun (I have no cover on top of those towers, which are only 150m high - not 200m), or tank. I've been shot out of the mid-height beam of those spires by a missile turret on a LAV. I've been OHK'd by Charge and Thale's already. Only once did I fail to find the Thale's and kill them back, and that's because they did it at the very end of the match.
What sniper rifle do you expect to fit while also fitting a cloak and the damage mods necessary to kill anything, even with the Charge or Thale's? A BPO one?
I share the sentiment that sniping should be something for light frames, I've said as much before. I didn't switch to ck.0 until Appia presenting irrefutable math on damage. I still think it's stupid, seeing sentinel suits sniping - I know they aren't about trying to help facilitate and secure a win, but rather about not dying. In a game about immortal space mercs.
The problem is the red line, not the rifle.

I can spend my time killing them and not helping the team or i can be a sniper full time and still contribute little to the team.

Know why it's not worth it? 'Cause they're not killing enough from back there. So it doesn't really matter - they're not effective from the red line. But they don't know that. Because they're worried about fake K/D, as you put it.
You know how I do it? From whatever is the best spot that gives me vantage over the most territory, or the most important territory. You know why I get fewer than 20 kills in a match when I snipe? Because I'm focused on counter-sniping, stopping hacks if I'm in a vantage that affords me that ability, and popping uplinks and nanohives in high places that the rest of the team couldn't otherwise get to. Every. Single. Match. I get up to my perch and I watch a logi fly a dropship to a rooftop and put down half a dozen links. If I can pop him, I do. If he has too much HP, I wait for him to fly away then I clear the links (K/D scrubs will leave the links be, trying to farm them for kills, letting scores of mercs spawn and run to the edge to drop down) - if I shoot him and he doesn't go down, now he knows I'm there and if he's smart, he'll figure out exactly where I am real quick. Which I have to worry about. Because I'm not in the red line.
The red line is the problem. Not the range I'm using to effect the outcome of the match.

Going into a crouch and waiting a second for the scope to settle and then being laser focused in an even narrower field of vision than we already have as the norm, and you're supposed to do something other than repeatedly die how?

Right. Those rings look about right, but now you consider all of the obstructions and cover a target can run into/move behind. Even with such a high perch, I don't just have a clear shot at everything. Hell, shooting from Charlie CRU to Alpha on Fracture Road is a very opportunistic thing with all the pipes in the way. At that range, I basically need someone standing still at the blaster turret installation or the supply depot so I can get that headshot, which is so much more difficult now with the circle reticule. Also, at that range, both mercs and the environment renders VERY poorly. Almost as badly as shooting down at the green mushroom dome on the maps where Bravo is inside that building - you know the one. Gal Research Facility, is it? Help me out here, Apps, the one where if you're beyond 250m (and you ALWAYS will be from any perch high enough to look down on it) you can't see ANYTHING uness it's standing right on the edge of the mushroom because it simply won't render for you?

It takes one shot and I almost always know where the sniper is. I have read if you die in one shot you don't get direction indicator. I seem to get them almost every time and almost always a 1 hit kill to snipers. Might be headshots dont have indicator. half the time just seeing the kill feed tells you where the sniper is. proto or thales start looking in the redline if not there look in the towers. I die in the enemy redline with my thales just to pop them in the head with it from 1m.
If your not going to stack HP than a heavy is not the best sniper. sure you can get 40 more dmg with a lvl 5 calmando and a thales but you lose more than you gain.
looks good by dmg numbers and that is it. 961 eHP is not worth it IMO. unless you got a logi repairing while sitting on repair hives.
I think you would have been better off using your min scout running around with sniper / smg while hacking. ignoring the heavy snipers as they are about not dieing not highest dmg.
I can do well enough with 2x cDMG on my gal scout with kal sniper vs real players and ignoring the KDR heavy snipers.
If you're taken by a headshot, there's no hit marker. I've been OHK by body shots in my less-than-200-eHP scout suit, and you do indeed briefly see the hit marker indicating direction of attack.
I've seen you through my sniper scope, that time we were in squad together. You also run under 200 HP, or maybe just above it. So aye, you should see the direction because when they see we've got so little shield/armor hp, they don't bother looking for the headshot.
VF, mate, you don't snipe often enough in the current meta to have a clue what you're talking about. At Prof 3 with a Charge, at Calmando 3 in a neo ck.0 suit, I'm OHK'ing on a headshot where with 3x complex damage mods on my Minja suit I was tagging the headshot and watching them run behind cover with between 0-30 armor HP remaining. 40 damage is bloody well worth it.

He got to within 300m because I wasn't in the red zone. And isn't snipers being in the red zone what you scrubs are all qqing about to begin with? I was out of the red zone so that I could influence the flow at multiple objectives on the map. A forge gunner picked out my location and OHK'd me. That's fair.
By influence the flow, I don't mean kill 30 MLT suits. I mean take out links up high, take out hives - especially rep hives, either kill Logi with headshots or, failing that, make them worry more about losing their proto suit to the sniper that just knocked him halfway through his armor in one shot than repping the Sentinel he's paired to. Popping that cloaked scout who's about to RE my teammates or shotgun them or knife them as they're trying to push a hardpointed objective. I mean calling out the locations of vehicles, trying to counter forge gunners and swarmers making life hell for my tankers and scaring my risk-averse ADS pilots.
If I'm stationary, and often a sniper - even a good sniper - will be, my range and my ability to find locations where it is best utilized are the only thing keeping me relevant to the outcome of the battle. Redline snipers don't have the ability to find good locations and are not relevant.

Thanks for coming to ask for a knowledgable sniper's opinion on the SR, Rattati. I think Appia gave you a very fair and objective set of replies.
I'd like to point out that I still do use the obelisks like the one she pointed out (D-7 on that map) and have been shot off of them by Frontline suits with militia rail rifles. My longest kill to date was at 594m. I was not in the red zone, and I was using the Charge SR. I counter-sniped a scrub sniper who was also using a Charge SR on the hill at the base of the opposite obelisk, though I don't know that he was the 594m kill - I think that one was at Delta (this was on the bridge map, 5-point skirm, name of map eludes me right now, and I was on the obelisk closest to Echo). Either obelisk on that map, (that is, either of the two not in the red zone) have influence over all five objectives, depending on which buildings are spawned. Even in the worse configuration of the map, those positions influence Alpha (the bridge itself) and the killing field in between the three outer objectives and the compound.

Now show me your face when a scout frame can move that quickly, fit a cloak, and still have enough hp to tank your proto sniper rifle with the 3 complex damage mods in your suit with a specific bonus to your weapon's damage because everything has been buffed except for you - even though your entire raison d'etre is to OHK things from far, far away.
"Oh, it's so easy!"
Nope. Killing non-frontline suits isn't always quite as simple. Logi suits have 1k hp. Assaults have 1k hp. Heavies are approaching 2k now. Scouts are pretty bloody close to 1k - near enough as makes no difference. I've got to the point where if I see a scout running below 300 hp, I don't kill them unless I have to.
And I'm so ******* tired of hearing this "oh hurr durr u cant kil dem snipr qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq"
I've had 21 Thale's in my entire time playing. I don't have any now. Because snipers can't be killed, amirite?
Cry me a ******* river.
The ranty part's not directed at you, Shotty, just needed to vent a little.
And here we have IWS acting as the vangaurd of the ******* QQ-munity pushing with all is IWS-y might to get as hard of a nerf as possible to the entire class of weapon...
If the range ends up anywhere below 450 and the damage isn't within a few points of Symb's 25% model, CCP, IWS and the rest of the CPM can all go get ******, followed by everyone who didn't vote for Apps. SHE would be going to bat for us on this.

Stopping ya there and not reading the rest - get the headshot on a sprinting target. Now do it while he's cloaked against a background of snow or daytime sand, or even the white concrete of a wall.

I don't mind being a OHK when I am full ewar but when I am in my 17db TANK fittings I feel it should take more than 1 body shot tier vs tier even if it only leaves me with 1 HP.
Charge should be a OHK vs my 17db proto TANK fitting no matter what since it is a charge weapon and you have to suffer the SOUND (PLEASE REPLACE CPP)
The first fit (388), I'll OHK on a body shot from the Charge. The other two fits need headshots. I don't think the other rifles (besides the Thale's) can OHK the 388 hp suit on a body shot unless at Prof 5 and ck.0 Commando - which is to say, right now, OHK'ing that suit without a Charge or Thale's is a rare and SP-dedicated sniper not using a sentinel suit.
But I'm not the math expert :p

Our DM would do voices when we were playing DnD. I ST'd a V:tR/W:tF crossover (because we couldn't find an affordable source for cWoD materials for me to run a Masquerade campaign) and I do NOT do voices.
We used the random number generator feature of a scientific calculator in place of die, which became a pain in WoD occasionally. Had fun, though ;)

Look at that, IWS.
There's a Dev saying my idea is doable.
What was my idea, you ask? Well, let me remind you! I posted it in the Delta narrative thread. And here. The idea is to get rid of the red line.
Ambush has a universal red line. Beyond it, neither side can go.
It also has spawn points CCP put in for Team 1 or Team 2.
Skirm and Dom have no Team 1 or Team 2 spawn points, they have MCC, Ground and CRUs.
The purpose of the MCC and Ground spawns being in the red zone for the enemy team is to prevent spawn camping/griefing, obviously. Get rid of it. CCP did it wrong.
The answer is to have MCC and Ground Spawns, CRUs, AND Ambush-esque dynamic spawns for Team 1 or Team 2. If CRU is camped and there are no uplinks and no objectives are controlled by your team, smart deploy. Now there's no such thing as red line snipers - anywhere a player can snipe from, the enemy can get to him/her. Now there's no such thing as a team being 'red lined', which is frustrating and not fun for the side getting stomped. So nobody on the whole team can manage to get out to get uplinks down somewhere to get the team back into the fight? Smart deploy.
And, by his response in that Ambush OMS game mode thread I linked, CCP LogicLoop pretty much says they CAN do this.
But you're not even going to bring it up to them, are you?
Cross Atu probably wouldn't either. None of the CPM will, I bet.
You'd all probably rather just ride the QQ train straight to nerfland and make sniping in general an unviable play style.
Here's where you get a chance to not be a self-serving douche with your CPM appointment.
I dare you.

Hate him all you like - I have no experience with him, couldn't care less about him.
And bitching about the map design (which I don't like, overall) is no use since :noclientupdates: is in effect.
The thing to focus on is that we have a Developer stating in no uncertain terms that CCP has the tools to dicker about with spawn locations. The red line doesn't even need to be a thing. It was a good idea, poorly implemented. Time for it to go.

Some of us don't use it. Some of us rarely use it. I've been here for the last ~350 pages or so and I've never seen a consensus in favor of its removal. Rather we can all agree that the scout shouldn't be required to use the cloak to be an effective scout. Thus all the heat in the ewar debates (and the Minja PG crisis).

Iron Wolf Saber wrote:Uhm you do realize CCP Logic Loop is gone and he was making his post in the context that client side updates were being done.
CCP Logibro already affirmed that reposition structures and moving the redline would require a client bake.
The idea of moving things around, redline, and new game mode is still on the wish list of things that require a client update for.
Now on the other hand CCP Logic Loop did manage to fix redlines several times mostly involving railgun tanks having full coverage of any spawn point.
I'm not talking about moving any structures and I'm not talking about new game modes.
Smart Deploy was improved in a hotfix, wasn't it?
I'm not going to believe that simply adding Smart Deploy-style dynamic spawn points to Skirm and Dom and changing the Skirm/Dom redlines to the Universal Ambush Redlines requires a Client Update until I see it from Logibro or Rattati.
Which I won't.
Because none of you CPM people will even suggest it to them.

Iron Wolf Saber wrote:Smart deploy can be improved because its a logic calculation the server does.
Map moving stuff requires a rebake on the client because the client has the meshes and terrain and terrain properties.
So you're saying swapping out one redline for another isn't as simple as coding on the server to tell the client to call the ambush redline for the skirm match on the same map?
Alright. Fine. And why, exactly, is it impossible to do client updates? We're not talking about something so intensive as entirely new vehicles (Minmatar and Amarr tanks lolol) or entirely new weapons and animations (more heavy weapons than just HMG and Forge lol). We're talking about art that already exists being implemented in a game mode that already exists with spawn points - the code for which already exists.
Can you explain to me why they literally can't do that?
You're literally talking about eliminating half of my game play. I stab, and I snipe. I don't shotgun. I don't PLC. I don't HMG. I stab. And I snipe.
EDIT: Okay, a third. I forgot, I have an alt that I'm training for tanking. So I tank a little, too. Sniping is 1/3 of the entire game for me. With a LOT of SP invested into it, and you're dead set on screwing it over worse than the long series of HP buffs with no buff to the SR class already have made it.

As Apps said, to not have to charge. When you're trying to get the followup shot before the target gets into cover, that charge time (with no skill to reduce it, like the FG has) is literally forever. If the target isn't crossing open ground (or stupid, or arrogant), forget about the followup shot.

On the one hand, since Ark left the only competition for the Ion pistol that might be around is Kirk.
But I don't know about the Bolt Pistol, it doesn't seem to have the same following despite being a better gun, and I've been getting pretty "gud" with it.
I find the IP to be a reliable finisher on my Gal Assault. Haven't tried it as a primary weapon. the ROF is superb, though, and when I have a guy nearly dead and he ducks behind a corner for a second, following him with that charged shot is lulzy

tbh I haven't noticed any difference from the skill bonus due to being mad close when I whip that thing out. My typical style with the Gall Assault is run toward target holding trigger, swap to sidearm when empty, spam trigger still running toward target. Get kill, duck behing something and let 20hp/sec armor rep do its thing. If not get kill, respawn, find target, repeat.

Born on Earth, raised in the projects, ruthlessly got the job done on Torfan, hung up on the Council every time in ME1, has never trusted anything about Cerberus (shagging Miranda, though), left-clicked every Renegade option in every applicable cut scene, only right-clicked a few Paragon options (like hugging his old friend Tali when they found her father's corpse and subsequently shouting down the Council and sparing Tali from exile without outing her father for a war criminal).
Will play through from ME1 again as FemShep, most likely pursue romance with Liara, after I complete ME3 (will be my first ME3 playthrough - I just wanted a save from the first game to go into it with). Undecided if I'll take FemShep Paragon or a more balanced approach.

Agreed re: Jennifer Hale. Years ago I went FemShep renegade Infiltrator. I went MaleShep soldier this time around for something new. Soldier's pretty boring in the first game, better in the second game. Increased duration and slowdown on Adrenaline Rush = most of the time I'm headshotting stuff in slowmo anyway. I can't wait to use the Cain again in the Suicide Mission... it's like, any other time in the game, you're too close to the blast and you'll die. It seems to only be in the game FOR the final battle.
Mordin's possibly my favorite support character to talk to. Getting to know that guy is a trip. I felt bad raking him over the coals on his loyalty mission on Tuchanka. He clearly is conflicted about it still, and remorseful, and RenegadeShepard's all like "You're a scumbag!"

Honeymooning through Saturday at the Valentin Imperial Maya in Playa del Carmen. Absolutely beautiful place. Highly recommend. Weather's been perfect up until today. Rain for now. A chance to catch up on Forums :-)
@ Swarms vs ADS - Sounds like the swarm acceleration / tracking changes are still on the table; will need to test a 'bit before comment. Thoughts on the proposed AB cooldown values?
@ Sniper Rifles - Pleased to see Tyjus Vacca and Keeriam Miray weighing in (these guys are very good snipers) though there seems to be a lack of consensus over there. What specifically do we like/dislike about the proposed changes? Are the proposed ranges reasonable?
@ Destiny - The beta left me suspecting Destiny would be smaller and less open-world than I had expected. How does it feel now? Also, is anyone else getting the subscription model vibe (i.e. expansion pack every other month)?
@ Zatara vs IWS - No harm, no foul ... thanks for clearing that up for us, Zatara.
Re: AB cooldowns - I haven't been following that thread as closely, but I think making the AB less available will lead to either ADS pilots being much less involved (and thus, much less deadly) OR more ADS being shot down. As it is right now, they pretty much always have the AB available to them so they never have to put themselves at risk (beyond the everpresent risk of a full squad AV ambush where 4-6 people are firing swarms and forge guns at the same time) - but how often does that happen, right?)
Re: Sniper nerf - Rattati swears it's a buff. Yeah, the headshot damage multipliers are finally catching up to HP creep and that's nice, but I haven't seen numbers for the base damage increase(s) yet. My concern there is that the base values, while higher, won't be high enough to matter with regards to the efficacy of body shots in general. I appreciate that I won't have to use the circle reticle on the Charge SR anymore. The range nerfs don't seem crippling, but I'll need to see what 400m feels like ingame. A small percentage of my kills are beyond 500m, I dunno the ratio of 400m+ to -300m, but I expect I'll find myself frustrated frequently.

Now I'm really confused. Adding a rifle gives you more armor? What does the rifle have to do with armor stacking scouts?
Caldari suits are natural shield tanks. They have very few low slots. If they're staking HP, they typically run shield extenders, not plates. Plate nerf would not effect them. Obviously.

When I look through the scope and see scouts running upwards of 800 total HP and still running quickly enough to make leading my shot difficult, knowing that even with Prof3 Charge and 3x complex damage mod plus 6% from the suit I'm not going to kill him, it's off. It's not a 'light assault' anymore, it's an 'assault with smaller hitbox/worse hit detection/secont EQ slot'.
I'm regularly seeing ak.0 assaults with 100-ish shield and 790-ish armor. Gal and Amarr scouts are hitting those hp numbers. Cal scouts at their highest that I've seen are around 600. Minjas don't know what HP is so they're not guilty in the least, but the rest of you non-Minmatar scouts got some splaining to do.
(Not really - Rattati went to nerf the slayer scout by nerfing the cloak and only managed to make the STD and ADV cloaks useless for their short durations, ignoring our input that said the way to stop FotM slayer scouts was to nerf scouts' use of plates. Told you so, Rattati.)

In my ck.0 Squidmandong on Line Harvest, some toolboxes were on the far tower with forge guns and sniper rifles and ****, so I went up on top of the barn at Charlie to sort those shitdicks out.
I got three of 'em solved, working on the last FGer in an ak.0 when some jerk in a Minmatar commando COMES AT ME BRO with his CR. I have my Charge SR and a State Wyrkomi Schwarma.
**** just got real.
So, with no recourse available to me, I swap to the Wyrkomi and proceed to dance with the Minmando, jumping and weaving and punching him with the handheld SAM launcher until he died, with me at about 15% armor remaining.
Threw my compact hive down, repped up my armor with it, and proceeded to score the final blow on that ak.0 on the far tower - he'd been weakened by the door gunner of a brave Viper pilot.
Then the match ended and one of my squad mates was like "Jace, you killed that commando with a melee??"
I'm like, "Yeah, dude, I got a Charge and a swarm, couldn't do nothin' else."

Cross Atu wrote:Okay bastards sharpen your knives, I've been thinking again and we all know what that means    In an effort to broaden the value of eWar without touching current scout values, and to make the medium frames more diverse I have been playing with the mad science of changing the profile on the logistics frames, reducing it a bit so that there is more incentive for logi to run damps (and not brick tank) while trying to avoid having them mess with scout play. Alright, general notion having been framed here are my opening thoughts, tell me what y'all feel about them and help me polish this up so it is worthwhile before I show it to CCP. Reduce logistics base profile from 50 to 45 or 46. Aim is to have 3x damped logi hitting a modified profile of 29 which (correct me if I'm wrong) would still make them show up on proto scanners (even without the GalLogi bonus) and most non-bricked scout fits. However let them be under the scans of most medium and heavy frames promoting a reason to run more non-bricked logi fits. In addition to the general question above (and telling me if my math is wrong as it sometimes is) I am wondering your thoughts on the following. 1. The GalLogi has 5 lows, would the added value of damps 4 and 5 be problematic in this context despite the stacking penalty? 2. The CalLogi has room to max buffer 5 complex shield extenders while still running 3x damps, does this added eWar potential (if their base profile were shifted 5 as suggested above) directly hinder scout play in some manner as it is not coming so directly at the cost of tank? 3. Is a net profile of 29 (when triple damped) a bad or good number to shoot for in the interests of bringing some medium frame eWar play into the picture without damaging the scout role? Why/Why not? Looking forward to your input Cheers, Cross
I'm already seeing a lot of Logi and even Commando frames trying to do scout-y things. Cloak-REs, Cloak-Shotgun. It's pretty nonsensical, but the only reason for it is that these suits are able to fit the cloaks already and too many people playing this game are so worried about their K/D that they don't approach the game from a team-tactical viewpoint considering what roles the different frames are meant to fill, they're looking for the lowest risk. This means cloaks where possible with as much HP as possible. Which means gk.0 commando suits with cloaks and shotguns. Logistics suits with cloaks and REs and proto ScRs and Rail rifles. And that's just scratching the tip of the iceberg.
Now, specifically considering logistics frames, it's bad enough their EQ fitting bonus applies to cloaks. Giving them more incentive to try to be "heavy scouts" will, in my opinion, only bring back more of the "slayer logi" play. Relatively heavily tanked suits cloaking and running under MOST other suits' scan strength, dropping REs, rep hives and toting shotguns or ScRs with turbo buttons or Kaalakiota rails or Six Kin ACRs...
No thanks, man.

Pseudogenesis wrote:Imo logis should get a precision buff as opposed to a dampening buff. It's the domain of the scouts to be unseen, but everyone uses precision to one extent or another. Precision is necessary for the lighter suits, so it makes sense that the logistics get the second best precision, being the second weakest suits. It would also fit into their intended role as a support suit, and it would allow them to know when to retreat by being able to see threats coming.
I don't know if that's feasible numbers-wise though, so dampening works too.
In view of the Logi as a support role, I agree that Precision is the better route. Precision bonus without squad-shared scan like scouts have. Give them damping and if they're playing Logi as support, i.e., running with a heavy, their being dampened won't help them - the heavy is a shining beacon of "here we are, come get us". Precision to see threats coming and be better able to communicate this to the heavy/squad they're supporting makes more sense to their role.

Cross Atu wrote:On a related note I am actually looking to get the bug which applies the logistics equipment reduction to the cloak fixed. As I understand it this is not working as intended. So that fix and this suggestion would roll out at the same time. Are there any ways you can see opening up eWar play outside of scouts that you would not consider the creation of "heavy scouts"? Is the fix to the current logi discount on cloaks be meaningful enough to change your perspective on the matter? Does a logi suit running 3x damps still count as heavily tanked in this context (could you give me a ball park of the HP you consider heavily tanked for the context of this discussion)? Full Disclosure To be frank, calling out my own biases here; I do not think that REs are a scout exclusive bit of gear nor should, in my view their use be bound to a single role. In the same vein I do not see the ability to use any particular Light Weapon as heavily pertinent to a Medium or Light frame balance pass because everyone can use those weapons. So, having called out my own biases, and asked what I hope are relevant questions, I await further response (oh, and to be clear, while I want answers to my questions, I am not closed to explanations of why my biases may not be agreed with) Cheers, Cross
Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to imply RE = scout only. Just, the only suits expected to be fast and light enough to use REs the way that scouts use them, should be scouts. I see Logis uncloaking, bunny hopping and throwing REs around - basically behaving like scouts with even more HP. feelsbadman.jpg
As to the rest, I'm actively playing atm, will return later with hopefully better reply.

Pulled Cross into a channel last night before I logged off to discuss this topic.
What about Range Amplification?
Logis seeing threats coming from farther out fits the support role as much as Precision does, and since really Precision would only get them undamped scouts (if it were to approach scout base precision only - and it shouldn't get anywhere near Amarr Scout's optimized numbers), I'd say they'd even get more utility out of seeing everything else coming from farther out.

Okay, Bastards. I've been having a problem since forever.
You know the building at Bravo on Border Gulch, Supply Depot at the top of the stairs, stairs overlook the console.
Fatty sets up shop with a bunch of hives and uplinks spammed up top, has the SD behind him so if he gets a few seconds between engagements, he doesn't even need the rep hives he's spammed. He's all alone. Can't get to him, though, not from below. Can't hack the point.
Now, Border Gulch is a bad example because there're two ways to get at him from above - but this same building setup is recycled on lots of maps. With no higher point to leap from, the way Border Gulch has, this position appears to be unassailable for a lone scout tasked with capturing that objective while the rest of the squad is bogged down elsewhere. But the team really needs another objective to win. This is guarded by just one merc. It's the easiest option. But how the hell do I kill that Proto Sentinel on those stairs? I've tried hopping and tossing a remote up at him, but he sees it because he's far back enough and he just shoots it or fluxes it. So that doesn't work.
Mass Driver?
PLC?
Wat do?

Compact nanohive used to give me packs of +7 Charge Sniper Rifle ammo per tick.. Now it's 5. And the thing ran out a lot sooner than it should have.
What unsung change was made that now causes nanohives to give sniper rifles less ammo?
That, coupled with the draconian reduction on the Charge SR's clip size AND total ammo carried, may be too much. I've only sniped one Dom match so far, had 11 kills (including 2 ADV sentinels, both times I missed the headshot the first time and scored a body shot, followed up by a headshot before their shields had charged to 50% or so - I'm satisfied with headshot performance). It was a smaller Dom map, so the range hasn't been an issue - yet. When I snipe Fracture Road Dom, I'll let you know how 400m feels.

I don't know about hives other than the compact. I don't use 'em.
But the compact either had clusters reduced, or ammo is eating more nanites. Either way, the compact is yielding less than half of the ammo it did yesterday.

If I'm not mistaken, that line was specific to Fine Rifles (not Sniper Rifles). How do you like the new optics so far? Notice any difference in zoom strength?
Optics on the charge are good, very fine point in the center, smaller than the pre-circle one. I like it, takes some getting used to.
Zoom I don't think is different for Charge - if it is, then it's not noticeable because of the range nerf... I'm not trying to look so far afield.

Pseudo, you're either full of **** or clueless about snipers. Maybe both.
Snipers still camp in the redline. Earlier tonight, I watched you zipping around Ashlands while I went 9/1 sniping from the redline (because that's one of the maps where it's the only place you can be). Would've done better, but I was also eating chips and chatting via facebook messages the whole time.
I'm still going 18+/0 with the Charge and the Ishukone, so I'm sure even a complete patsy will notch 15+ with the Thale's. From the redline. Because they can't reduce the range on the rifles enough to make redline sniping impossible and still have sniper rifles in the game. The maps are too small, and the redline is, and has always been, the problem.
I avoided tagging your under 200 raw HP suit every time you were at Delta or Charlie, or on the bridge between Alpha and Bravo, running around all carefree like it couldn't happen to you.
Next time.

I'd lean towards clueless, snipers aren't my area of expertise. I'm not making a statement of fact so much as looking for somebody to call me an idiot and tell me why I'm wrong. So far you've got that first part covered but I'm still waiting on the latter. I still don't know why you think snipers are worse post-patch. If snipers can still redline snipe, then what's the downside? Less charged shots? Less zoom? I don't get it. Feel free, I don't give a damn about my k/d. That suit's not made to last anyways.
Re: the SR series -
The problem is that, like Apps said, we didn't get some great damage buff, we finally got the damage we should've gotten by smaller increments every time they buffed HP.
Plate hp buff, oh and we're adjusting the SR accordingly.
Assault HP buff, oh and we're adjusting the SR accordingly.
Et ceteras.
HP on everything has increased dramatically just since I started playing seriously in April, and the SR stayed where it was. Right now, damage-wise, I think all three variants are where they ought to be. Finally.
Now the range nerf. 350m, 400m and 450m are PLENTY for those redline snipers in their ak.0 Sentinels with their complex plates, or those gk.0 Logistics with THEIR complex plates or those ck.0 Assaults with their complex shield extenders AND plates (doing **** for damage with no suit bonus or damage mods for the SR, mind you) to sit up in the redline and kill 3 or 4 unlucky MLT suits every match, as well as 1-3 others. And now with the headshot damage multipliers getting put where they needed to be, they might even get a few more on some maps like Line Harvest or Manus Peak or Ashland.
The range nerf didn't bring them out of the redline. You know what it did? It made it more difficult for legit snipers like me to eliminate redline snipers without having to leave my strategically optimal position. Take Ashland, for instance. If you're on the side with the three silos, that big hillside is a favorite. It used to be that, from the other side's ridge, I could reach any sniper sitting up there and maintain influence at Delta, Delta CRU, Alpha, limited influence at Charlie and even Echo. Now, from that ridge I still have influence at Delta, Delta CRU, Alpha, and Charlie, but I can no longer neutralize the snipers who run up to that extremely unimaginative spit on the hillside because 450m isn't quite enough. In order to counter-snipe those guys, my best bets are the building across the road from Charlie, which has what, three ladders to climb it? Or the pipes, or just be brazen and snipe from Alpha or Bravo. Any of these options is suicide. Which makes the best option for countering those snipers either an ADS, a forge gun or a rail tank.
You know. Those three options I always point out whenever scrubs are QQing about how the only way to kill a redline sniper is with another sniper? Yeah, those. It's the same on most maps, now. Especially larger ones like Impact Ridge or Spine Crescent. Even though I don't snipe from the redline on those two maps, I cannot reach redline snipers and be in a decent vantage point to positively effect the outcome of the match at the same time and the time lost in travel to get some place where I could countersnipe that guy, then get back to where I need to be, isn't worth neutralizing him knowing he's not even going to get 10 kills the entire match with his Thale's from where he's sitting. And if you tell me where you were when he shot you, and the distance given on your death screen, I know where he's sitting. I might even look at him, see that he's beyond 450m and then forget about him (except for checking periodically that he hasn't moved closer to me).
Now then, we've established that the range nerf only served to help redline snipers. Let's talk about the ammo capacity nerf on the Charge SR.
3 shots per clip. Okay, fine. Be that way. 15 ammo in reserve? What? The base damage increase STILL isn't enough to kill a scout in one body shot. Not even one charged body shot and one half-charge follow up shot. Since it takes so long to fully charge shots, it's got the poorest ROF of any weapon in the game and body shots are literally worthless if the target doesn't have a LONG run across open ground to give you time to charge the second shot. A body shot from the Charge doesn't even kill a MLT suit if they bothered to put a single armor plate on. Which means that, even more than the other two rifles which benefit from larger clips AND greater ammo reserves. the Charge SR absolute must get a headshot. With a 5 round magazine and 21 in reserve, it wasn't such a dramatic need before. Now it is. You can't afford to not make headshots if that's your rifle of choice. I've been more successful killing heavies with the Ishukone than the Charge SR since Delta. Why? Because when I miss the headshot because he changed direction suddenly and randomly as red dots often do (you know this, you're a knifer), I get a body shot or nothing at all. If nothing at all, it's just a wasted shot. If a body shot, now he knows I'm there and he gets behind cover. There goes my opportunity. With the Ishukone, even if I score a body shot instead of a headshot to begin with, I can follow up quickly with two or three more body shots.
The ammo nerf on the Charge is the most crippling thing they could have done to it. I hope Symb's officer Charge features the un-nerfed clip and ammo reserve capacity, OR the power to kill a scout with a single body shot. Otherwise it'll be as worthless as the post-Delta Charge SR is.
As far as your suit, aye, I saw it was the STD suit. Now that I've got my mk.0 I've been practicing STD with STD knives for the event to come, myself. It feels so strange, not OHKing heavies.

Adipem Nothi wrote:This makes sense. Because of the range reduction, the only way to countersnipe a redline sniper -- in some cases -- is to assume a sub-optimal, potentially predictable position. Right? So ...
What would happen if two mercs simultaneously assumed different, sub-optimal countersniping positions? What would happen if a "forward recon" scout cloaked his way into a sub-optimal countersniping position and decloaked, rifle at the ready?
Please don't take these questions to mean I'm dismissing sniper concerns. I'm fascinated by the redline sniper quandary, and many perspectives which have come up in discussion I otherwise would've never considered.
Potentially, with a Charge SR, that scout could eliminate the threat. On the other hand, that scout might be seen moving under cloak - the human eye is attracted to movement and if the redliner happens to be passing his scope that way while the scout's moving under cloak, he's going to be trying for that easy kill. As soon as you crouch to take your shot, he'll have his headshot while you're waiting for the sway to stop so you can line up your own headshot.
In other words, one side or the other would need a little bit of luck - the redliner would need more luck than the countering cloaked scout, though.
If the scout sprinted under cloak to a position affording some cover, and waited for say, 30-45 seconds for the redliner to assume they just lost the guy and go back to looking for targets, that'd be a good time for, say, a well-tanked sentinel to offer a diversion. As long as nobody shoots at the damn redline sniper before the scout with the Charge SR does. Nothing I hate more than lining up the headshot on a redliner and then some jerkoff in a LAV, or an ADS, or a lesser-armed sniper spooks him right as I'm about to fire.

I hope so, and sorry if I was more of a **** about it than I should've been. Charge SR nerf still has me butthurt. WAS my favorite thing in the whole damn game, pre-Delta. And despite Rattati and IWS and whomever else's insistance on it being a buff, after using it for a few days and finding myself more successful with the Ishukone... yeah, the Charge SR was nerfed and badly.
Sadly, though, I don't think the fact that the range decrease isn't stopping the redliners from being redliners is going to make a bit of difference in restoring (at least partially) the Charge's ammo reserve capacity :(

You think it's worth your time to spend an entire minute and change to take out one guy that has no real influence on the battlefield. A guy you only want to kill because he shot you once. Or because you're spawn camping everyone else on the team and it's not fair that they got away.
You'd be better off calling in a Viper/Gorgon hoping out in the red line, killing him, then accepting your fate. It's be faster, you'd have less of a chance of dying. . . wait, let me just make that clear you have less chance dying running into the redline for a suicide kill than you do running into a sub-optimal location to snipe. . you'd also be more productive for your team just ignoring them.
Yeah. Most of the time, I just ignore the enemy sniper if he's outside my rifle's range, even if I can literally see him through the scope. It's just not worth the trouble =/

Yes.
I'm running the ADV because it's the only one with grid/cpu enough for the 2x cDamps and PRO cloak (which is the only cloak worth a damn, for both duration and getting under the new Amarr Warden.) The new matchmaking hasn't shown me a bit of difference... Skirm, Dom, Bush, you're on the proto stomp team, or you're on the other team. My event fit is only ~40k ISK, compared to my more expensive (~60-70k) normal suit and my 100k+ mk.0, but unfortunately those three anomalous games of +5 KDR aren't my norm. Embrace the death and all that.
I'm not concerned about KDR per se, only insofar as the lower it is, the more ISK I'm blowing through on restocking suits. I tend to go 20-30 matches just sniping and picking up 100-200k, then restocking my knifing suits until they're all gone again, rinse, repeat.
Tried spamming bush with Shotty a few times... so many deaths. So aggravating. Tried farming ISK on my heavy alt... never a logibro when I need one. So many deaths. So aggravating. Assault alt... so many deaths. So aggravating. And the tank alt is hardly an ISK faucet, given that each Gunnlogi + fit is ~500k, each Sica ~150k - lose one tank in the match, and it's no longer profitable.
So yeah... knifing is fun, but the losses add up at the end of the night

Forget about damps on minjas. If you run into squads using amarr scouts, either avoid them or go gal instead and knife with that. Actually you can run BPO with gal. With meta 0 knives you will need at least two or three charged swipes. Its all about choosing the targets that have low health. I would avoid heavys and tanky assaults entirely. With the kincats you can run from them and find easier prey.
Easy money knife fits. Meta 3 is about the prefect balance of cost vs utility.

The last three books aren't by Jordan but by Sanderson writing with Jordan's notes - Jordan died before completing it. There's mixed reviews on how Jordan handled it, but it's more than worth the time you'll spend in the reading. Rand al Thor is a compelling character. I warn you, early on his two brosefs ***** a lot, especially the blacksmith. But they man up enough, and it makes for good character development.

Just my philosophy. You don't fit ECM on a jaguar so you can jam....that **** won't work very well. It's the same concept in dust. Now if you don't have the sp....that's understandable.
That's exactly the problem. 175k a week doesn't get you very far. It took the MCC to actually get my mk.0 trained. Now I'm at Gallente level 2. Very frustrating when everyone's solution to every problem in every thread is "just get a xk.0 this or a xk.0 that and that thing that's owning you won't be any problem". Right. Because I've got some 2.5 million unallocated skill points just waiting for some kind Dust guru to come and tell me what suit I should skill into to counter the thing that is the clear cut bane of my existing suit's existence!
As it stands, with no damps fitted I'm a shining beacon for any Amarr or Gallente scout, and given that I see undamped scouts with a single ADV PE fit (when I was experimenting with that), I'm guessing most Cal scouts and a few Minmatar scouts who use PEs. Which is to say, every shotgun out there sees me, and I don't see them.
I'm okay with not seeing them, as long as they don't see me. With 3x cDamp or 2x cDamp and a PRO cloak, I can achieve that. I refit my event fit to 2x kincat rather than 2x damp and cloak and immediately found myself trolled stalked through an entire skirmish by the same G-I scout. From Echo to Delta, all through the city and back, out of 13 deaths that match, he was 11. No exaggeration, he had 15 kills and I was 11 of them. I had my head on a swivel, didn't see him moving under cloak a single time. Tacnet allowed him to outflank me consistently, I didn't know he was there until his K-5 shotgun went off. Aside from Echo (his home point) in the beginning of the match, I did not complete a single hack. He had my number, gg to him. And I refused to switch to my more expensive fit with the cloak and damps because the entire point of the exercise was to practice with the suit I'd be taking into the event.
If that's how it's going to go with no damps, I may as well not try for the officer knife event at all - but of course, I have to, so I'll be putting that PRO cloak back on with those cDamps and giving it my best shot.

I see so many scouts talk about their triple kincat fits. I don't know how the **** they get away with it, but I never do.

Core 5.

Profile Dampening 5.
The sacrifice seems to be dampening in favor of speed... which is getting me nowhere fast. (That's a pun, see )

You guys misunderstood me, I think.
I can fit 3 complex kincats on a mk.0.
I can also lose 10 mk.0 suits in a match due to being seen by literally every other scout in the match while not being able to see them. I should have said "I don't know how the **** they get away with not fitting damps, but I never get away with it."

I didn't see a triple SP event or anything until I'd been playing for >6 months. I have over 60 mill right now and still feel like I'm gasping for SP (of course every time I want to know about something I want to go test it which means lots of suits...) What I want is shorter FW ques, I have been waiting for battle (restarted the que several times now) for over twenty minutes with every faction selected, can it really be that hard to find a single slot in any FW battle?
At this time of night? Aye.
From what I read on it, they've got it set up so that it spawns FW battles in Dust based on FW activity in Eve. If nobody's spawning complexes or orbiting buttons in space, it doesn't spawn FW battles. So if Eve's FW scene is pretty much settled down for the night, we get no action.
You might be able to get that confirmed or denied and get some clearer details on just how that works?
And for the record, I just broke 21M SP.

@Mal, warlock blink is very different from hunter blink. Very different.
Back to Jace: KinCats are not a means of survival, they are so you can kill the other guy faster. 3x complex KinCats or 0, when you get spotted you die.
Shield 5, Armor 3 - 10% more armor from Armor Upgrades 5 would amount to what, 8 raw hp? Hard to imagine that saving me from ScR, BP, BScP, RR, or any of the other stuff killing me in under 2 seconds.
As it is, I'm running 2x Enh Shield Extenders in the highs. I have one fit I mess around with with reactives on it as well, but I can't say that's been keeping me alive at all either. Most of the scouts who're scanning me when I'm not fully dampened are either shotgunners I don't see coming or rail rifles, ACRs or ScRs. I did tank a BP shot in that fit and stab the Gal Assault using it for a primary weapon in the face, though.
Gall Assault, Bolt Pistol primary - that's when you know something is OP. When Assaults ignore their racial weapon bonuses altogether and run dual off-race sidearms.

The sacrifice seems to be dampening in favor of speed... which is getting me nowhere fast. (That's a pun, see ) It does change the game and the tactics accordingly. Things may have changed a bit since I only played this style a few patches back, but knives were harder so I imagine it's easier now (unless the new bug I'm hearing about rears its head). You can't hunt scouts. That isn't what's for dinner when you are speedy unless you have to
I haven't tried hunting scouts - I can't see them.
I need numbers now - 2x cPE on a Minja, what could he see?
In other words, is it worth skilling PE above 3 before I have my Gal scout to 3 or 4?

Jaceon Pale-eye and ~5 or so = 50 mk.0. That'll give me 2x damps + 1x KC, with the cloak, which for me means better ability to pick my battles and try to stay out of the way. Have you tried the MLT knife yet? This is going to be the toughest video game effort of my life, and I probably won't win, but oh how glorious "Jaceon's" N0T-H1 Nova Knives or "Nos Nothi's" J4C-3 Nova Knives or "Nothi's" J4C-3 Nova Knives would be...

You know what it is? It's a Tactical Sniper Rifle that trades +50m for -50 damage and has a charge option.
That's not an officer version of the Charge. A ******* officer charge sniper rifle should have a guaranteed kill on headshot regardless of it being a mlt minmatar light frame or a dual tanked Sentinel ak.0
With the removal of increased zoom on the thale's the difference between the Ishukone Sniper Rifle and the Thale's TAR-07 Sniper RIfle is +50% damage.
Are we looking at different things? I read it as Charge SR, 10% better base damage, pre-nerf clip size and ammo reserve.

I didn't think of the charge -> 0 meaning incapable of actually charging the shot... If that's the case, then yes, that's absolutely ******.
EDIT: Wait, no. Minimum charge = 0. So a trigger pull like normal = half-charge shot. So charge shot, target hanging on by a thread? instant follow-up shot. It's a charge and a Tac all-in-one, with standard clip/ammo reserve and Charge SR range, And the 10% damage might actually put down a few of those scouts that are tanking the body shot with a few HP remaining without need for the follow up Tac-shot.
I like it.
