Django, yea after about 24mil you have everything you need to fulfill a single role. But the extra SP allows you to venture outside of that. Gives you more flexibility. EX: Getting perma scanned in your winmitar scout, switch to Gal and stay off the radar.

A grand majority of my SP is into dropsuit command and upgrades. very little is in weapons, none in vehicles. I feel adv weapons allow me pretty great benefits while still providing a great challenge. Plus CCP tends to nerf and buff so harshly, I would rather be future proof and omnispec things with the remaining SP I earn. I likely won't get many other things prototype for quite some time.

A little bit of everything at advanced allows me to have a WHOLE lot more fun, instead of forcing myself into a single role.

Ick, 8.5 weeks for 3mil. I really do think CCP has a problem with the SP accrual rate. Events are great, but we shouldn't rely on events to progress at a reasonable pace through the game.

So, to go slightly OT (considering I too am in Django's predicament right now)

I finally had a mental breakdown and posted that thread I kinda threatened to a while back.

Please don't hate me...

I agree there are issues, but I am tired of seeing the answer be demolishing everything. Why can't we just make adjustments?

This is the biggest question I have for CCP.

Apparently, this just is NOT how they roll. I can't imagine why.... nerf to oblivion, or buff beyond all reasonable limits. I seriously think they are using us as guinea pigs.

I've said it before, bonuses should never be linked to one specific module/equipment.

Absolutely no problem with anything you said.

I seriously can't tell you all how much this **** pisses me off. Your ******* bonus is not limited to the cloaks. do you retards even ******* remember what the bonus was before? Becuase guess what, instead of screwing over Minmatar scouts, all scout's base profile was reduced. ARE YOU ******* STUPID? Cannot you not see that, that was the only reason they dropped scan profile.

shut the **** up about being forced into a role when you aren't. you're given a free pass to use a high fitting requirement item and kept all the bonuses you had before.

Someone seems so angry they made quite a few typos, however it does seem completely reasonable.

It's not what I wanted as a scout: a bonus to my role which ties me to a piece of EQ (especially one I'm not interested in)

Then go ***** about how Assaults are forced to use the same racial weapon as their racial suit or Logistics and their limited bonus to racial EQ. That's ****** over the game more than a tiny piece of equipment you don't have to use. +1 EQ, +1 Module, -10dB Pofile, -5dB Precision, +4 meter range.
You aren't tied to it at all. You have stealth innate to your suit. Your scanning precision and range is a good base. If you want to enhance those you can use a Gallente or Caldari suit or just stack the enhancing modules.
I see you guys that are complaining about the cloak skill as tiny little children. Each of the 3 scouts has an appropriate racial bonus what would you substitute as a Role bonus that all racial scouts receive instead? Because we've pretty much gotten the scout beyond the point we wanted to be viable. The scout actually thrives in 1.8. Do you want to cripple the suit so you can add a bonus again that you only receive at Racial Scout Operation V? Or do want it to actually be an overpowered suit and give it a bonus it isn't in need of? Or is this all just you people being childish because it isn't working out the way you think it should?

Then again, I've made some excellent friends here in Dust as well, and I would hate to have them left out.

Hence the indecision.

Also: Has BF4 gotten any better? Played the game about a month or two after release, and thought it was garbage compared to BF3

I've been waiting for the cloak on my scout suit since March 25th, 2013.

This ^

When scouts were fuctard broken, the whole time everyone told us scouts- including IWS, that just wait. The cloaks are coming. It will help scouts immensely, etc etc.

Well, we got basically and more of what we asked to repair scouts. We got the cloak. We got what we asked for and expected. Now to see people saunter in and try to weaken/nerf it.. Do you guys even realize how lame you sound? I know maybe a couple scouts who are so good and jacked they are pretty much immortal.. but the vast amount of players are not. Scouts still die. I watch "bad ass scouts" die with cloaks on and armor tanked etc.

There are actual pressing issues to fix. Frankly, this nerf talk is ******* dumb as ****, and it detracts from the real issues like stun locking, sprint bug, keyboard strafing, glitches, etc.

Hmmm.... do I sound lame? Maybe.... I'm sorry if I do, actually. That's not the intent.

And I'm definitely all for CCP fixing bugs over pretty much anything else. They certainly need practice debugging and deploying fixes... it's a useful skill since they add enough new bugs every time they make a change to this pile of awesome.

Oh boo hoo <-

I remember the talk of wanting equality and being able to speak the truth if we became the FoTM and things got skewed too much in our favour.
- That seems forgotten now. - It wasn't forgotten. But it hasn't happened either.

I thought we waited for the class to be buffed properly and wouldnt be reliant on the cloak. - And it holds true. You do not need a cloak. You do not need to rely on the cloak.

I also dont see how stun locking is different from tank stomp is different from any old schmo cloak shotgunning people.- One is a bug. The others are a part of the game. Nothing more. while tank stomping is due to CCP's poor management of development over the past year, The shotgunning scout is not an issue to fix. It is part of the game. And we aren;t talking about glitches, right?

Your so called pressing issues have been here for many months and havent even been officially addressed. They also are just as important as the people screaming they cant see the cloak and cloaked tanked scouts are raping them. -This 100% pure unadulterated bullshit. Not even worth addressing. Bugs and glitches are always important. The pressing issues I brought up are real. The fact they haven't been officially addressed is a stark example of why CCP has fumbled, continues to fumble, and may well perpetually fumble. I don't give a **** about some mouth breather who can't use his eyes and develops situational awareness and gets blapped by a scout. Saying ti is the cloaks fault is just like any other excuse I can think of for losing.

Now I dont want to get rid of the cloak and I dont have an issue with it being the scout bonus. I would like to adjust some things to balance it so a player still has to actually apply themselves somewhat to be successful when they use it. I would hope for the same with HMG's and Tanks etc. - It isn't "The scout bonus". It is part of a scouts suite of bonuses. You do have to apply yourself to successfully use it. It isn't a win button. No matter how hard you want to portray it as such. If it were, every single scouts K/D would sky rocket. has that happened? NOPE.

I also think that some of the issues arent only cloak, its the two dominant scouts turning over the apple cart.- I may have missed this and are unsure of what you are referencing.
