Why are sidearm kills sooo satisfying?

Ion pistols, ScP, SMG, NK all sooo slick

Because they take more work and tactics. It is much more fun than just point and shoot, or spray and pray.

Err.. SMG *IS* "spray and pray" :p

Knives are nice because it's "in your face".

Pistols are good because "I just exploded your face".
(is there any kind of pistol kill other than headshot? I feel skeptical. Even if there is, they're not worth talking about )

When you run a 222 ehp scout suit, SMG spray and pray is ineffective. When I am inaccurate with it, I die a lot.

Do it in FW, so I can synch with you guys. . . and snipe all of you in my Cal-Scout suit

"Pistols at dawn"? :D

Hey, if we're branching out from knife fight duels, seems like we should go in for the whole thing.

IonP fights
Flaylock fights
Maybe scramblerp. (breech only?)
Presumably not bolt pistol, since its full auto? but its lag still makes it a pain in the butt, so possibly...


And then we could have a "my pistol is better" free choice category.
Not to mention a "cloaks allowed" category

Heck, we could even organize tournaments!

(Reminder; FW can get this happening with large groups of us!)

And then each side could have a "marshall", with a needle to speed up next bracket fights.
I'd be happy to volunteer for marshall duty

I think what exacerbated the problem was CCP providing the dropsuit command respec the same build that the scouts were getting the buff. In retrospect, I would have begged them to wait until the med frames were buffed too, then maybe we would have had less FOTM scouts.

I won't lie, this does kind of break my heart a little.

Then don't be inaccurate

That is true, but since I have proto PLC, I need to keep the hope up.

What about shotty? Its great. I am kind of enticed to spec into it.

Shotty + SMG or shotty + MSMG.

Can the mass driver really be used as a shotty? If so, it would be fun since you can pop in and out of cover quickly (fast speed) and pwoop the reds to death.

Going to miss the dragonfly 2h 2l

wut do you mean!?

Dear players,

Today DUST 514 is scheduled to go offline for an extended period of time starting from 11:00 UTC. Server is expected to come back up at approximately 11:35 UTC. Today we are deploying the following changes:

* Fixed the HP bug of all Amarr heavy dropsuits (480/480 to 510/360).
* Fixed the bug with the slot layout of STD Light GA Suit (1 high, 3 low and 2 equipment slots).
* Fixed the bug with the slot layout of Republic Scout mk.0 (2 equipment and 3 low slots).

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Dang valor scout still only has 1h 2l 1e

Finally played some PC last night for the first time in 1.8 and was a bit of an eye opener.

2 matches in a row on PFC; Dogs of War Gaming on Orbital Artillery and Molon Labe on Reseach Facility.

1st one I was in the complex basically being a constant scan beacon for the team. Didn't really do a lot other than sit under one of the alcoves cloaked most of the time. Got a few hacks on B and the CRU and killed the same scout who kept trying to cloak across the road from C to the CRU. They put up a real good fight and I even ended up getting scanned once right at the end of the match but we won. Only 2 deaths and a handful of kills but good fun was had.

Molon Labe was very different. I tried to do what I used to always do and harass the enemy home point. Was very successful for about half the match but then they sent in their own scouts to combat me; either gallente or well dampened so my passive scan gal couldn't pick them up, even with 2x comp prec. Died to those damn CRs far too many times but did well nonetheless. Once a gal or two set up home in a socket, it's really damn difficult to take it back without at least 3 buddies backing you up. Definitely need to invest in something stronger than my pistol for those sneaky bastards; I'm thinking mass driver but then I'd need to get the magsec too, so that I still have both armor and shield tankers covered. Anyway, after a while more or less gave up on the outside point and went to help in the complex, which was much nicer. Could see everyone, snuck in for a cheeky cloak hack on A but a friendly heavy gunned me down trying to shoot through the objective and didn't see me in the way! lol

Yeah, so had lots of fun, went up against Haerr once or twice and overall learnt a few things. I'm thinking that I might actually get that minmatar scout I've been eyeing up every since they announced the hack speed bonus but probably not for the reason everyone would think... I want to use it as my passive scanner suit! 3 highs 3 lows at proto if I'm not mistaken? 3 x comp prec would pick up all but the most dampened scouts and 3 x comp range would give me more scan range than the caldari maxed out because they only get 2 low slots.

Django's thoughts for the day anyways...

Oh yeah and damned glad Appia wasn't in the ML match! ;)

Brethren, in the spirit of April Fools, it would be awesome if we queue sync'd some factionals with a bunch of quafe suits with only sidearms and troll fits. The most trolly fits you can. Cloak, remotes, flaylock (not so much a troll gun as much as a insult to injury gun) etc...

I run a Minja that uses RE and Flaylock all the time
Does this mean eyes a troll

Anyone who uses a flaylock is a badass in my book.

As an interesting side not been getting ridiculous kill streaks with the Flaylock lately
Record was 8 due to superior positioning
