RULES OF SCOUT KNIFE DUELS!



Want to engage in knife fights? Having trouble getting a good opponent on the opposite side?
Or, worse yet, find yourself against someone legendary.... but Cant Find Them?

I propose a solution:

The Scout's knife duel.
Fight with honor. Fight with skill. Be able to actually FIND A PLACE to fight!

Do what I do when you see a scout at a distance.

Fire small SMG volleys from range until they turn around.

Whip out knives, slash the air.

9/10 times, they get the message.

Highly annoyed. Squadded up via Scouts United twice this afternoon.

First Squad - Five guys; not a single Scout.
Second Squad - Four guys; not a single Scout.

Dialogue with Second Squad:
Q. "Is this a Scout Squad?"
A. "Nah, man."
Q. "How'd you find me?"
A. "You LFS'd in one of the channels."

Since when is our sacred haven "one of the channels"!?
This is unacceptable.

If I wanted to squad with randoms, I'd LFS in Local or use the godd*mn Squad Finder.
How do we fix this?

Running against Red Star in PC tonight was an eye opener of how useless scouts truly are in PC.

While I was easily able to flank around the city and enemy home objective and sneak in for the occasional hack, it was impossible to get back out because there was instantly a tank rolling in with a heavy to mow me down and nothing I could do against him. And then so many times I'd reach an objective guarded by just one heavy and be unable to get even close because even after fluxing his shields down he killed me with a toxin SMG before I could finish off his armour with my proto SMG.

I'm trying to wrap my head around how scouts could be made competitive in PC but struggling. Even if we had speed and stealth working properly, all they need is a lone heavy watching an objective and there's no way we can get in there. If we run with other teammates in PC we're already foregoing our stealth and speed, so what's the point in using a scout suit instead of a medium?

The only solution I can come up with is some sort of damage bonus, so that if we do manage to get the jump on someone we can take them out instead of them just shrugging off a few bullets and smacking us down.

Might sound op but lol imagine we could spawn on either enemy letters or uplinks, now that would be dope!

Yeah, I've come to realise that the only way to scout in tough PC matches is to forget any notion of conflict altogether.

I've been running with a basic dampener but actually find that much of the time there's very little scanning, even against Redstar only occasionally did they even try and I don't know if they were proto scanners or not because they couldn't get me anyway. The stupid thing was that I could tell that they knew where I was anyway because I could see red dots coming my way every time it flashed up "Scan attempt prevented". The "Some margin of error" message needs to go. That **** is total BS.

I agree. I also would like to see the "You have been scanned" message go away. As if we don't have enough problems being seen. Particularly when I roll up on an objective that looks like it might be deserted, and scan just to find several reds there, no back up, and now they know I am around and can send out the search party.

Something strange was going on today ... a couple of times, I checked the Scouts United channel and found not a single soul logged in. I'm sure that wasn't the case, but that's how it looked on my end.

Spawned start-of-match as the ambush sacrifice ... no friendlies, surrounded by reds..

if you create a channel on EVE side you can actually moderate the channel
and boot any unwanted member "even though you shouldn't have too" out.

I'm reluctant to see Sontie's vision in Scouts United abandoned. An openly accessible asset for Scouts; a make-shift sanctuary for seeing newcomers grow and thrive under guidance of trained Assassin. Such mission is honorable, and we should strive to see it carried onward.

Yet our once sacred Haven has been tainted by the EZ Mode masses, today cluttered with randoms on par with Local. Duty falls upon each of us to make every effort to cleanup Scouts United. Any ideas on how we might accomplish this goal are warmly welcomed.

In contingency, an invitation-only channel has been created, moderators pre-selected, named in honor of fallen Scout Brother Mollerz. Migration to this new channel will occur if and only if we Scouts are unable to regain control of Scouts United. This is our backup plan. We will make every possible effort to cleanup Scouts United over the next week. If our efforts prove futile, we will return to the shadows.

We will make every possible effort to rid Scouts United of its "cool hangout" status over the next week or so. If our efforts prove futile, we will migrate elsewhere in return to rightful and appropriate obscurity.

Is how the channel is designed. Once it hits over 50 people it goes into a "delayed" mode were u only show up in channel when u type something out.
