Just out curiosity and don't feel obglicated to answer but I was wondering where all our scoutly brothers are from and are you an old school gamer like I am. I'm in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada and 34 yrs old. Ps your never too old to play vids so don't let them tell you otherwise. ;)

You guys tell me. I'm having a hard time making sense of the rampant idiocy in this thread...

Is CPM Iron Wolf Saber reducing our plight to a simple case of "doing it wrong"?
https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=107512

If so, I'll type up a formal response to CPM tomorrow.

Of course, that'll be after I see first hand what CCP means by "we fixed the shotgun problems" ...

well i would have to agree with CPM Iron Wolf Saber to a point. A scout is supposed to ummmmm stay hidden. I accept the fact if i'm seen i will die most of the time. problem I see with a lot of scouts is they think they are supposed to matrix dodge bullets, run faster than LAVs, and stand off with the enemy head on. In my 2 days of cQc testing out complex range mods. I could see and run around my enemy avoiding them very well because i knew where they were from over 50m away while being invisible to all but the 1 proto scanner and the possible logi that can get their precision down to 15. Did that stop me from getting killed A LOT no but I got 2 good days of learning to use my passive scan to avoid the enemy. The Tac-net and shared vision change was a nice boost to the Scouts that are Scouts and not Assault mercs in Scout suits. The aim assist is a = boost to everyone including scouts. we died easier to every weapon before aim assist now is no different just faster but so does your target die faster because of the aim assist. see how that works.

I read about all the scouts using only mods to boost dmg, stamina, and sprint speed then they come here and cry because everyone can see them. I think wow they can use mods to be fast and run for a long time doing lots of dmg but do not want to use mods that would enhance the #1 asset a scout is known for.

My gallente gk.0
1 advanced precision
3 complex range
1 complex dampener
charge sniper
Ish SMG
AV grenade
compact nano

I boosted what CCP gave as a bonus. It's kinda like they wanted us to be hard to detect with higher scan range(gallente scout) in the first place. the scout bonus is garbage if you don't use mods to improve them farther.

minmatar scout bonus is a joke in my opinion. why would i want to melee if i can't see(scan range) hide(dampeners/cloak) to get to them in melee range. but makes for an OK dmg sniper(hint make the dmg buff for all weapons or at least sidearms) or more cpu/pg so I don't have to use one of the 2 lows for cpu booster. caldari assault is a better scout suit than the minmatar scout.

Now I do agree we need a EHP buff UNTIL we get cloaking. because as his comment we are about stealth and not being detected but if we can't cloak 1/2 of our stealth is missing. we need something now to compensate for the lack of stealth and being seen and aim assisted killed.

My fits all beat adv scan without mods so they are speed tanked for pubs.

Are you mobile sniping in that fit, bc shotgun seems pointless without kincats...now MD and RE might be fun for point defence!

The day is upon us. Let the rise of the shotgun begin!

Gentlemen,
The shotgun has returned.

Let me know how you like the tac ar.

So true - my plight.

And I dont think CCP understand how their slot layouts with only slightly differing base stats between classes allow those classes with the higher slot count to all but supercede the class meant to fill that role.

I would give your entire post a +1 as I agree with most of it but your setup works because you went the archetype route. The draw of this game is that you have the ability to create what you want to fight with. Most CQC scouts will need Red and Greens and there is no getting around that. The whole notion of the game should be played where the scout is never seen is fine but once detected you should still have the opportunity to escape and that is the fact IWS doesnt seem to acknowledge.

With the the new assist in aiming that is what is most difficult for me. If I stay and fight I have no issue with a death but when I dont even have a moment to flee it becomes frustrating.

Played some last night again and its the same story - AR's - Most other weapons that arent OHKs I can still dodge some and have a chance or stay alive a few seconds before death. ARs are instantaneous almost.

I also think the new scouts stealth advantage is being overblown - yes we have an edge and scanning is more now of use but its not like all mediums and heavies just show up like a christmas tree - they can sneak and surprise too.

So true - my plight.

passive scan has nice range behind too but no matter everyone can be sneaked up on when distracted or because of dampeners.

and yes most mediums and heavies light up my radar like a christmas tree at close to 60m range and I only have gallente scout lvl3 and so does quite a few scouts not using dampeners and not at lvl 5 scout suit.

10*1.5*1.5 is 22.5m passive scan.

Complex range are 1.45
No sacking penalty
I can fit 4x

So...like 99.5m?

Hiya Goose! Saw you in the channel yesterday and again here today.
Are you running Scout these days?

Let me know and I'll add you to the Killboard.
