It's weirdly hidden. Thanks, I have never seen that page before. I have been all over this sight looking for it. Nice getting every freebie they gave out from the start after over a year not having a correct/verified email. Also nice to know i can subscribe just long enough to get the freebies if they ever give them out again.

That in a nutshell is what they can change server side. I'm sure there is more they can do but when it comes to balancing the game that is all they need. We also know it took them a week to tweak the numbers in the box for the dragonfly scouts high, low, and equipment slots 2 times, lol Adding new items using existing models should be as easy as adding a new item in DB pointing at existing models with updated stats.

Hopefully we'll soon see the FoTM crowd scrambling for another suit. Agreed that removing cloak's damp bonus will hurt non-GalScouts.

But as Appia pointed out I am only a pub player and have no business trying to balance PC meta. So I left the battle to the PC meta crew to argue Gal vs Cal

They could've nerfed the GalScout alone, though brick-tanked Amarr and dual-tanked Caldari might have emerged as FoTM substitutes. Removing cloak's dampening bonus is effectively a nerf to all Scouts; it'll rule out substitutes and likely send FoTM-chasers into other frames. That said, this is a big hit to Minmatar who were already under-performing. Never understood why the class meant to use NK's don't have the best dampening. after all they are the ninja class

To tell you the truth I only remember quill and I of the few willing to sacrifice anything for the buffs we was going to recieve. again as i said before then I have always ran gallente since open beta and even if I don't agree what happens to the other scouts ill welcome what ever the gallente gets good or bad because even the bad wont make it as bad as the rest of the suits.
Xx-VxF-xX Void of Faction 56	Posted - 2014.05.23 02:28:00 - [15] - Quote I would be ok with being nerfed to 1 equipment slot 1 light weapon slot (even if it is AR only before they buff it back up) replaced racial dampening bonus only so the other scouts can keep the dampening bonus of cloak. why because I know how powerful tac-net is and how OP gallente scout is.

And now I am going to suck again because I will still be minja, still run knives, and now I will show up on everyone's tacnet since passive scan sharing (another game mechanic much of us have asked to be rid of). I have a general question regarding balance, and would like some thoughts. Generally speaking, there is supposed to be a yin and yang thing going on for balance, like how plates reduce speed (even if they still offer too much hp for what they penalize with cost and speed reduction). What if scanning were the same? Increases in precision with mods meant decreases in profile. Decreases in profile with mods means higher scanning precision. I maxed out on mental CPU after that thought hit me, and could barely put it into a coherent statement (and possibly failed to do so) after reading 11 pages of argument, so I really wasn't able to process what that might do, if anything, to ewar balance. isn't that the reason for the opposite slot layout of cal and gal? and one being high slot other being low? leaving the minmatar to be the most balanced in the 2 should one choose.

No way, Bro! What we asked was that (1) Scouts not have to give up squad-oriented equipment to carry cloak (2) Scouts not have to give up a primary or secondary weapon for cloak and (3) Scouts not have to give up our grenade slot for cloak. But in the end, it wasn't cloak that made us OP. It was eHP. We aren't OP by comparison to Heavies, Logi or Pilot. We are OP -- specifically when HP tanked -- by comparison to Assault. Which is why the FoTM and "Slayers" came running with their bricks. If CCP had given us better Assaults, there would've no FoTM / Slayer migration, far fewer HP-oriented Scouts, and far fewer complaints about Scouts. you are right. scout said they would give up nothing for the cloak. said they would rather not have the cloak then give up anything. Scouts did not ask for lower base dampening/precision, longer base range, more cpu/pg, 2 equipment before cloaks was even a option, more slots before cloak was an option. I imagined that for the many many months of scout update being pushed back farther and farther. I am so sorry that we have become the EZ-Mode we used to claim anyone that did not run scout was. How we ran scout to not be EZ-Mode. Now we have everything we asked for and don't want to give up nothing still. We are the EZ-MODE we all complained about. Yes the gallente is the biggest EZ-Mode scout and still many fighting to not give up anything on it.

Yes the gallente is the biggest EZ-Mode scout and still many fighting to not give up anything on it. I think the reason for pushing to maintain the Gal isn't about maintaining easy mode. It's because the things that are broken aren't the scout. Fix the de-cloaking issue, and change how armor modules work. Then look at the Gal. Agree and hope that fixes a lot. What about the Plasma Rifle buff. That is really going to be OP, lol No I don't think it needs a buff and is my go to rifle and most lvled. . all 5 except prof 4 ammo 4 optimization not needed with gal eWAR scout

Good luck taking on a sentinel :-) Agreed on Minmatar. Concerned. Moody's doing a good job explaining the problem. your really not good with my sarcasm. tac ar with a dragonfly scout is far from ez-mode in the shotgun/combat rifle world of dust514.

The logi-slayer is still alive and well, it's just been eclipsed momentarily. The assault really needs a fix. I'm telling you guys, CCP Rattati is the Slayer-Logi Savior That could be true but we don't know alot of there ideas on the later hotfixes other than CCP Rattati wrote: Later fixes intend to normalize PG/CPU so noone can fit anything he wants. That alone can balance alot of things. This pass is going to hurt all scouts and hopefully bring gal back in line with the rest. Next pass could very well hit the heavies or logi like they are hitting us now with the rewarding specialization. Like before that statement I had no intention of leveling up AR optimization but now I't looks like if I want to run my duvolle ar I may need to have AR optimization, electronics, engineering 5 to make it fit and still sacrifice a low for cpu or pg.

The Gallente Scout can no longer get to the eHP needed to survive long enough to both get a single kill and disengage from combat safely/effectively. Do you think 3x complex gets Minmatar/Amarr under the 15 with a proto cloak? 14.27 3x complex and proto cloak Minmatar/Amarr 14.15 2x complex and proto cloak Gallente cloak is still useful to those that don't want to be visually seen. add shotgun alpha shield dmg with a bolt pistol/locus grenade armor dmg or just NK's - 2x complex shield extenders 1x reactive plate. Sound very balanced for a invisible to all alpha dmg scout. You want both invisability and eHP tank (cake and eat it too).
