CCP may have done a great job with 1.7. It certainly seemed that way the morning of release. But right now there's really no way get a read on the improvements. Not with the current state of combat, match after match. "Slowing tanks down" isn't going to fix the problem. CCP needs to either give us tools to pop these things, or make it hurt the wallet -- badly -- when one actually gets popped.
TL;DR - Tank Spam is overshadowing all the good things 1.7 has delivered. Absolutely. Honestly, tank spam and the lack of scout love are the only two problems I have with 1.7. The rest is pretty great.
And hopefully this will be corrected or at east start to be addressed early in the new year. |

You'd hope that enough has already been done in prep for the overall dropsuit changes that fixing tank spam will be possible within the same breath - afterall, codelock is likely already happened or at least extremely imminent.

Tank Spam is a problem; solutions are pretty straight-forward ... * Dramatically increase price of tanks (all tiers). * Increase effectiveness of all AV (i.e. nerf reversal). * Find another way to equalize Risk / Reward. If it can be hotfixed now, why wait an entire month? Edit: FF hotfix inbound for Mon/Tue. Fingers crossed for an included HAV fix.
No I meant in everything.
I expect changes to tanks stuff to be done this Tuesday and maybe another update in December.
The Scout stuff plus some other racial weapons will start to roll out in 1.8 - Jan onwards. |

Also, the discription by CCP Remnant to Knight Soiare's question implies it is going to be High (most likely) or Low slot module.
[/quote]
Oooh! Missed that hidden gem.
Well, it would "make sense", to be high slot, since it should basically be warped shield tech.
WIll be interesting to see how they implement it.
It will be perfect for basic scout fits, if it is high slot :)

My invoiced concern, is that CCP Remnants statement also leaves me with an impression that our stealth bonus will be replaced with a fitting cost bonusGǪ.
Edit:
How do you folks feel about the loss of 5% profile/level Role bonus for improved fitting cost on Cloaks?

In my opinion, "Stealth" wouldn't be buffed by exchanging one vulnerability for the other.
Surely, this isn't what Remnant has in mind.  |

I like how a cloak is scary for balance, but a medium suit with 5H and 4L slots along with 3 EQ slots and CPU/PG for days was never a concern.

Quote:The Scout role will get very high PG/CPU bonuses to fitting cloak equipment, making it just about the only role that can feasibly fit a cloak field without having to sacrifice the rest of its fit. Individual race skill bonuses will create opportunities for cloaked scouts to scan further and longer than other dropsuits, to have less GÇ£shimmerGÇ¥ as they move, and have lower innate scan profiles so that they can be visually and electronically invisible. Link even though we know where it came from.
The first line is the part that brought on this thought for me.
"The Scout role will get very high PG/CPU bonuses to fitting cloak equipment, making it just about the only role that can feasibly fit a cloak field without having to sacrifice the rest of its fit."
It's the scout role portion, that makes me think that the role bonus would change, in order to make the cloak viable. Perhaps the current bonus was simply place holding for this feature?
The mention of Race bonuses is interesting as well, because he mentions the lower innate scan profile, though this simply refers to the base db I believe. Does this mean we have a lower one and that is good? Or does this mean a future reduction to offset the loss of the bonus? "they can be visually and electronically invisible" indicates that the cloak will independent from Profile.
Also this tells us what the other two racial bonuses are likely to be
-Increased scan time for active scanners?
-Have less shimmer
Of course this is all theory and one can't hold the language used as full Dev disclosure.

Given what we've seen in 1.7, I'm somewhat concerned that CCP may go overboard on Scouts.
They've buffed armor to such a degree that the only counter to a Tank is another Tank.
If they buffed us along similar lines, we'd lose our identity. No one wants HardMode to be EZ.
Frankly, I like earning my kills, so I'll be the first to take issue if we were somehow rendered FoTM.
That said, I'd also take issue with a halfhearted "this-for-that", of the likes Llast is concerned.
If there's one thing that sets us apart, its that we like a challenge.
Regardless of what may come, one thing's for sure ...
If CCP made Scouts FoTM, we sure wouldn't behave like Tankers are behaving right now.

-Increased scan time for active scanners = Ganja (btw Cass- until you explain why that is a bad nickname I'm going to use it -signed a minmatar)
-Have less shimmer = Minja
I would think?

While those bonuses would make senseGǪ I think that this may be indicators for the new suits (whenever that happensGǪ 2.4)
What would make sense is
Gal= scan time (as much as I hate the idea, it is Gal tech)
Cal= Range enhancement (they do like to remain at a distance)
Min= Combat Knife bonus (cause it should exist by then, and we don't want to take Mustards knives from him  )
Amarrogance= less shimmer (cause they will be slow as all hell, they will need it)
Not my personal idea of what would be ideal, but something that makes sense. Which means it's not what will happen.

Yes, I also noticed the "and" as well, but the inclusion of the word "innate" leads me to believe it is a reference to our lower starting profile.
I hope you are right though.

The problem with approaching our path to being "fixed" as it were, is that CCPs development style makes asking for balance from the start a dead in the water proposition. The only way they know how ot balanc eis to either go super UP or super OP... I'd rather see the scotus go OP and then get scaled back vs going UP in some misguided sense of fairness only to get the shaft for a longer period of time than has already taken place. It's better to go OP and then dial it down.

We will be fotm one day. It won't be because we are OP. Just look at this thread. It will be fotm once it is fixed because there is so much latent desire to play scouts, but people are holding off because they hold values such as K/D and whatnot sacred and won't play scouts until it is viable.
TL;DR You can find this thread based on views alone because it DWARFS other thread view counts. What does that tell you about scouts?

This is what I am talking about.
Not to  you, but ...
Let's not forget this game will supposedly grow over time. Keep in mind CCPs dreams when you ask for balance to the now. Their dev cycle is brutal.
All that aside- If a high tech society developed cloaking technology and deployed it in a combat zone where entire planets and life itself mattered- the cloak would be combat worthy.
I think, we as a community and CCP as a developer, needs to figure out a cloak that would fit the bill given the deadly nature of new eden. And the deadly nature of the foes we've been up against. We mean to be deadly. Let's act like it guys (and gals).

I said it somewhere else earlier but I'll say it again here - one day scouts will be amazing and everyone and their gran will want to play as one but then they'll find out that scouts are only awesome when you've honed your scoutly tactics as much as all us hardcorers have. The EZ mode masses will flock and then they'll realise they have no idea what they're doing and that as soon as the decloak to shoot someone in the face that they get gunned down in a millisecond because they didn't plan properly or tried to play as an invisible assault and then they'll go home to their wimpy flacid med suits with their tear soaked tail drooping between their flabby legs.
Scouting is simply not something anyone can just pick up and be instantly good at. You have to learn over time and that takes patience that EZ mode just does not have.
