@ Ghost
Thanks for moving the cloak "debate" to its own thread. Cinnamon Toast w/Mayonnaise.

@ Quil
Your idea was met with resistance here among Brothers. In Ghost's thread, you assert that it "would also leave most scouts quite happy, since using sidearms as primary weapon is quite common ...". In the future, I'd humbly request that you take a poll (at minimum) prior to positing on behalf of the majority. Thank you.

Starting to get really tired of dust atm.
Every match is tank spam, tank spam, tank spam. It's always decided by who has the most tanks.

I'm starting to get tired of DUST. It's just too boring.

Its not that it was met with disagreement, it was the fact that there was no decorum in the discussion. I can disagree with the light weapon idea without calling it a dumb/stupid idea, which is why the discussion went south. Hence I popped in to organize the pro side as to focus it back on the merits or lack of them not because I agreed with it but that it didn't exactly get a fair shot. Name calling also doesn't fly either but I see that flew under the radar of acceptable actions, and we shouldn't have to do a poll just to share an opinion (even if its wrong/unpopular) on how something could function, that's some pretty crazy 1984 stuff right there.

I think a perfect example was when we were discussing the scouts shared squad vision with Sponk,

While it is not required but if you give people the time to flesh it out they usually give out there reasons and the same for any opposition, I like to point that when some consideration was given, he went into more detail on the critiques against him and it ended pretty amicably, at the end of that discussion both of us were just giving each other +1's despite the fact that we disagreed with each other.

In short I don't understand why my political forums that I frequent have more decorum, patience, and thoroughness than a game forum where people are just talking about trivial matters.

Out of hand!? lolz.


Anyways, If you look over the 200+ pages of this thread along you see a scarred windy road to the present full of bugs we've endured, what went wrong after patches, theory craft, debates, good times, bad times, words of wisdom, comfort, and encouragement. You have all kinds of personalities in here which has all brewed into a bad ass stew pot of a community

So all of a sudden, now we are going to start making this a cleansed polite only speak of pleasantries, and everyone else stfu?

I guess this thread is officially closed.

pfft.

This might help, or might not.

Create a new account. Try to main something that you never use.

I have a Heavy alt that I use. And a Plasma Cannon one.

I'm having a blast running Minmatar Assault on the side.

Then when I go back to knives, it's the whole thing over again!

Then again, I am easily amused.

You do realize that I have 7 accounts, with 2 characters on each of them, so that I can main every suit, right?

Appia Vibbia, Phantasmal Priestess, Macha Vyvyans, Adisa Aegir, NiTian ErXing, Alder King, Cass Caul are all one in the same. Those are the ones that accumulate passive SP.
Appia has Assault ak.0, Scout gk.0. Logi gk.0, and Logi C/1-series and enough neo cal logi suits salvaged from PC to last a lifetime. Not to mention that I have every other non-Minmatar role suits at lvl 1. Plus Sniper Rifle, Swarms, SMG, flaylock and scrambler pistol, scrambler rifle, and shotgun all at proto. While the R and R I have not put points into, every other weapon is at lvl 3- and new FW means no aur to use proto weapons
Priestess is my MinLogi, started as scout, Uprising made her a MinScout, Optional Respec made her a logi. proto AR
NiTian ErXing is my Min-Assault with Combat Rifle
Macha is my Heavy/Sentinel with HMG and Forge Gun.

I've been doing that for about2 months

I think we have to fix tank spam ourselves
I say we just kill them all

I have Proto Swarms and Nades.

I have Proto Swarms and Nades.

Everyone fears a scout in CQC. Either with a shot gun or nova knives.

They may die a lot but hey are also great killers.

I fail to see why they are considered underpowered.

What are you saying needs to be buffed on them?

Look at how many steps backward this game has taken...

Proto nades, RE's and stealth has helped me bust a few tanks.

Where was this quoted from?

lol, no one is afraid of a scout. even scouts aren't afraid of other scouts.

HOLY HELL
