I can throw some isk into the pot as well. I won't be available this weekend as I am getting married, but the following weekends I will be around and ready to mess some people up!

The ol' ball and chain eh? I'll pray for your soul.

I kid, Congratulations!

Ball and chain=greatest wrestling move of all time

That move hurts like mess I used to wrestle

I still do wrestle IRL, and whenever someone puts it on you not very fun, I can tell you that. You basically have to break it by putting all your weight on their arm on the inside of your hip, which isn't fun cause your nut sack hurts A LOT afterwards lol.

But when you put it on someone.... best feeling ever hahaha other than getting a banana split which is the only more painful move that I can think of

Do you have an alt named
Shovel of Death?

Yeah I'm wrestiling next year for sophmore year for high the banna split is by far the most rewarding move for me

I can't say that I do.
Who is this upstart?

It amuses me how much the context of these moves can overlap with the original wedding theme.

And congrats Goose!

This clown is trying to "Fix Scout tanking" in a completely awful direction: By nerfing shield regen and adding delay to armor reps

Yea removing shared squad vision would be the best fix of all. Screw all the rest of the updates, nerf shared passive scans into the ground. Thats one hammer I would be willing to sign my name on.

No way am I plowing through 813 pages to find the answer, so I will just post the question directly here.

If it can be done, what do scouts think of passive scans not being shared in squads, only active scans. If that is technically possible, maybe we can work on some of the scan/damp mechanics in a completely different way and CA scout won't be the be all and end all it is right now due to that.

That could lead to different hunting playstyles of various sig/scan profiles instead of the wallhack circle of death.

Independently of any ewar changes we mean to boost Amarr and Min Scouts in some way, not major way and also buff Assault, not nerf Heavies nor Scouts. If we can do that and not have to hit CA scout with nerfs, then that is our preferred path.

All good feedback appreciated

Honestly I think not having shared scans is a horrible idea for many reasons. First of all it is completely unrealistic such as in the modern army if I saw an enemy soldier, I would report his position vocally which would be a passive scan for my fellow soldiers. We also have satelites to help have scans including infrared and other such things, so you would be making the tech level in Dust equivalent to....before caveman times? Mainly because a lot of war is done through communication and signals which can not be done well inside the game as it currently is. I can not spot an enemy and mark it upon the map for everyone to see, I also can not tell more then 6 people of the enemy even with vocal communications in the game.

Now lets go into scanning and profiles within the game, scouts by far have the lowest scan profile which allows them to hide the most effectively they are also the ones who have the furthest passive scans and most precise passive scans. Meaning that you would be effectively making more people blind to them and shotgunning or being hit with whatever other weapon including a plasma cannon. Due to sound and positioning not being effectively put into the game when you fire of say...a plasma cannon this greatly limits what people can do to find scouts or even snipers.

Basically you would be making the gallente scout the god of the battlefield or any scout that could keep the scan profile under what active scanners can do, which is not to incredibly hard. You would be making heavy and assault suits mostly blind and without intel as if they had no one on their team at all.

In short, taking out passive scans entirely in the game, without reworking every function of scanning including, range, profile, and precision would be game breaking. Let me put it like this, in Dust 514 I can sneak up on someone currently in a multi ton tank, tell me how great the passive scans are when I can do that.

In the event of loss of shared passive scanes, Cal scout can continue to share scans. Through use of an active scanner to paint targets. Doesn't help against properly dampened scouts, but will work against everyone else. For properly dampened scouts, the Cal has to do the hunting themselves, with the exception of the Gal.

The Gal will cetainly have an advantage, but passive invisibility isn't as powerful as passive vision. They'll be tough to beat, but they'll need to sacrifice lows to remain off the tac net.

I understand the concerns, but if a complete rework of EWAR is off the table then the most we can ask for is to limit the damage. I'm not sure I agree with closing down passive vision, but I can't think of another option that doesn't involve lots of changes.
