Speaking of SMGs, which weapons do really well against us scouts?

I know from experience that SMGs are quite capable of tearing me apart while I'm in my scout suit!

Scouts by KDR Level (Present)
http://imageshack.com/a/img203/8206/dzo4.png
Summary: All 164 of us, grouped into a histogram by KDR interval.

Nerd Notes: A histogram is a statistical tool used for testing for a normal or near-normal distribution. Google "Histogram" and "Normal Distribution" if your recollection of statistics is rusty. Given the sample size at hand, one would expect to see a Normal Distribution - in short, a bell curve roughly centered around a median/mode value. The reason you aren't seeing a Normal Distribution is that Figure A contains disparate (albeit related) datasets. Ranged Scouts perform substantially better than CQC Scouts, experienced Scouts perform substantially better than inexperienced Scouts, and recent converts to Scout generally have higher KDRs than long-standing Scouts. So piling them all together screws up normalcy; regardless, its a fun visualization for you to checkout.

Scout KDR Timeline by Experience Level (July 1st to Present)
http://imageshack.com/a/img850/2493/qu8t.png
Summary: The 86 Scouts I've been tracking since Uprising 1.2, grouped and averaged by current killcount.

Nerd Notes: Here we've broken the Scout Community down by kill count, and plotted the average of each experience level over the 45 or so days since Uprising 1.2. This is a good look at our community's health at various levels of experience. As you've likely observed on the KillBoard, average KDR is directly related experience level. A declining average KDR at a given experience level is concerning. A holding KDR is unexpected but less concerning. An inclining KDR is expected.

Explanation:
DoubleTap asked for a breakdown of everyone's KDRs so you guys could see how you were trending over time. I thought this a better way to address his analysis request without disclosing individual performance histories (as some have requested that I not do so).

As always, let me know if you guys have any questions or would like to see other analysis scenarios.

Happy Hunting,

Is buying the dragonfly or valor scout suit worth it at 19,800 aur?

the merc pack dragonfly is an assault suit now since the official release. the dragonfly scout is sold on its own now.

My most irritating deaths come from HMGs (the HM-82 tears me up in less than a second, but partially my fault, gotta stop trying to solo heavies. This ain't 1.2, lol), and Mass Drivers (ugh)

Personally, I find HMG's to be the worst, I always try to avoid heavy's with them. Second would be AR due to the sheer number of users, third would be MD, for the same reason as the AR. Anything else I don't really get killed by, except snipers when I do something stupid

Good idea Shotty - I love how you put so much effort into coordinating the scout community.

How about grouping people by other categories too like shotty scouts, sidearm scouts, etc?

I would say yes to the valor because it gets the gallente scout bonuses. makes for a good free suit and full free fitting if you also have all the milita blueprint mods to go with it.

Hiya Scouts!
I'm assembling a framework for better trend tracking for 1.4, and I need your input. In summary, if you're a Scout Sniper you'll be grouped in a chart with other Scout Snipers. The Killboard won't be affected at all, this is simply an attempt to make better sense when analyzing everyone's statistics and measuring how mechanical changes affect different roles.

That said, I have huge respect for you guys. Dang near every sniper in the game runs 2-3x your HP in a medium frame and still has room to stack damage amplifiers. You have mastered the art of being unseen.

I've picked through our thread and analyzed performance patterns to produce the following list. Please let me know if I included or excluded you in error:

Scout Snipers (alphabetically)
Admonishment
Decasor
JieXi Bao
Jugger Nuttz
Keeriam Miray
Kodho
Samantha Hunyz
Tyjus Vacca
voidfaction

Thanks a bunch, guys. As always, let me know if you have any questions.

- Shotty

Is this just a grouping for Scout Snipers? If not, where would I go as I primarily use the Scrambler Rifle and SMG as a main weapon

How about grouping people by other categories too like shotty scouts, sidearm scouts, etc?

Scout Bros, I'm getting really disheartened with our suit... :( I don't know if I can hold on until the fix it.....which will be next year?



Sadness.

I feel your pain, brother. Our disadvantage is magnified in PC. We're weeks away from 1.4. Let's see what the Devs have in store for us.
