My weekly on going ded scout report.
I just went above 8mil sp last night, It is nice feel, and getting there.
Still a ded sniper, but... It is getting harder to be a sniper these days in Dust.
It seems the sniper rifle / role of is being quietly nerf'd under the radar.
So many things have digressed, all well documented by fellow, really good ded snipers.

Dropped into a sqirm match last night, 9 on my team, 5 on the opposition. Great Time!
I was a Hacking fool running around willy nilly Mollerz style, it was fun.

I also encountered a new to me combo.... Heavy/ HMG/ Dropship.
This guy pounded me every time I cloned in and ran for cover. Brutal. Brilliant. Snipers had no chance with this guy.
Finally smarts kicked in and got out my BPO swarm launcher too out, and that abated Him from me for the rest
of the match.

Scrambler Rifle. Yes. My new toy. Since my character has a glitch/ bug on my side arms (no auto reload when mag empties)
and sniper nerfs, I need to broaden my horizons. I have "tried it before", but now I have a higher SP allocation,
The Scrambler is very nice for me, with the scrambler pistol as a side. I can run willy nilly.

We need a scout party.
thanks to all for support my bros and sis's.
Looking forward to see you out on the field, and in chat.

Just a gentle 'Have you tested this?' would do. I'll go test it now. Gentlemen, please remember that we should all be friends here. Let's leave the vitriol at the door for the tank/AV debates. When did the world get so sensitive? I'm offended by this all of a sudden sanitization of speech to spare anyone's (no names) overt sensitivities. We are scouts. Scoundrels. Can we all be free to speak our minds or what lol? I think an attack in any accepted use of the term would have to include ad hominem verbiage. Since that has never occurred (save once as far as I know in this thread), these legitimate criticisms getting labeled as attacks are a bad road to travel. That's far more offensive to me than if someone called me a ***. Or a homo. Or anything else. You gotta hustle if you wanna make a dolla

I'm not sure that it has to do with a chevron not appearing overhead when I'm LOS'd or my name not showing up when targeted in the enemy reticle, but my experience over a hundred matches is that a complex dampener results in enemies looking at me and then LOOKING AWAY more often than not. This experience includes proto-clad members of TP, OH, AH, FA, etc...but I still appear to duvolle focused scanners. Today is the sort of day where the sun only comes up to humiliate you.

All it said was "Respect bro" I am part shovel, part man, full scout, and a little bit special.

Matticus Monk Ordus Trismegistus 903	Posted - 2014.01.05 00:32:00 - [6017] - Quote Oswald Rehnquist wrote: - snip - 1) Any implementation of cloaks will have some sort of simplification of tactics, how much is acceptable? (would would cloaks allow you to do and what limitations would cloaks have) 2) Thoughts on scouts becoming most effective as a forward slayer charging cloak unit? (the potential lowest common denominator to result from the cloak) 3) Should there be an offensive trade off from running cloaks? Why / Why not? 1.) Cloaks should bring another layer of tactics into the game, but not necessarily much simplification. In terms of moving into position to drop uplinks, prep for an attack/ambush, stalk prey, the ability to be unseen should be offset by the separate ability to remain undetected by scanners (i.e., the cloak should be a visible cloak and the scout should need to reply on separate dampening to offset active/passive scans). So, some simplicity of tactics will be gained by being invisible, but it should not be too much such that the cloaked user doesn't need to consider other factors such as scanners, sound, when the cloak duration will run out, etc.... I don't like when I hear about using the 'cloak' to avoid scans: that is too much simplification for me. Cloaking and profile dampening should always be separate. Also, the cloak should not allow one to strike unseen. In my mind it should provide an advantage to movement, but the user should still need to use tactics in terms of movement paths to avoid active scanners, positioning in terms of finding a good place to strike with minimal risk and maximum ability to escape, etc.... Additionally, I don't want the cloak to become a 'necessity'. I.E. - Scouts should still be able to function effectively without it; we should still be able to rely upon our other talents and attributes, as well as the environment, to move, position, strike, etc..... I don't want to see the cloak remove other scouts tactics/play styles and simplify the role into only being the cloaked assassin or cloaked infiltrator. 2.) Scouts should definitely not become the most effective forward slayer, and i think that as long as the cloaking is visual only, and not electronic, and as long as there is suitable cool down after de-cloaking (or breaking the cloak to strike) and as long as scout HP remains low, they will not be the most effective forward strikers. They may strike and get an OHK, but escape still needs to be managed, and this can be difficult when engaging multiple targets. Especially if the cloak draws resources away from using proto or enhanced kin/cats, etc..... Scouts with the cloak should remain assassins; capable of eliminating a target or two, but not effective in taking on many targets simultaneously at varying ranges. Scout squads may seriously spearhead certain attacks, but they can do that now for the most part.... cloaking will help but cloaking should be implemented in a way such that FOTM guys will not flock to the role and have success. Other skills need to be learned to make scout squads effective as it is and this is how it should stay..... Management of attack timing, escape, survival w/ low HP, ability to fit suits w/ minimal slots, etc., etc.... we still have a massive leg up on just plain old skill using underpowered suits and this should remain even with the addition of cloaking. 3.) This depends on the implementation. If CCP goes overboard and makes cloak "EZ" mode, then there should be a damage tradeoff. For instance, if a cloak can be easily fitted to a scout suit, allows striking while cloaked or minimal cool down such that you can cloak, strike, cloak -> escape, then yes - I'd like to see something to offset that massive advantage, such as a reduction in damage or the ability not to fit a light weapon (boy, this would make Minja's super feared!)
