(1) I had a terrible day yesterday, really disheartened. Sneaking up on ppl and plunking them with my CRG-3, then proceed to miss every next shot until they mow me down. Not sure if I was just having a bad day, but damn - not enjoyable.

(2) Interesting to see Shotty mention once they start jumping about, shotgun is useless. Hadn't realised that, that's effectively what seemed to be happening to me, although at this point shouldn't it still be possible to finish the job with the shotgun? If that takes special skill, then I'll feel a little happier about my deaths yesterday at least.

(3) What I'm trying to figure out is how to stay close to my prey so that I negate their ability to keep a bead on me and I can keep out of their line of fire enough to nail them. Is this a tactic that is possible? Perhaps I'm trying to do something that is nigh on impossible.

(4) All in all, the flipping auto-aim is p1ssing me off right now. I don't like dying so fast, and so far I refuse to use an AR, although tempted just to see what all the fuss is about. Maybe I'd learn something about how to stay alive longer.

(5) Meh! :(

(1) I first noticed difficulty "finishing" with the Shotgun about a week back. I'd deal good damage on my first shot, but subsequent shots tended to scratch, unless the target was standing relatively still. Doesn't happen every time, but its happening often enough for me to not trust the Shotgun.

(2) It's not just you. Lightning xVx, CommanderBolt and Morathi are as well (to name a few).

(3) I try the same thing...when possible, plunk from melee distance...get more pellets on target. It'll be more effective if/when the shotgun is made more reliable.

(4) After running with the AR, I can vouch for its effectiveness. SP investment drastically improves the AR. 1M or so SP may not be a bad long-term investment; some of the more open maps are brutal for shotgunners.

(5) Indeed. Meh.

EDIT: Also, does anyone else (like me) think that they'd rather have the G/1 Series with 3 lows and one high? Sure the current 2 highs 2 lows is neat-o for tanking but if I just want to put a damage mod on and run armor plates.

Sure the current 2 highs 2 lows is neat-o for tanking but if I just want to put a damage mod on and run armor plates. Yes, yes, yes ... a million times yes. I only have the ADV suit to date, but I keep looking at that Proto suit and wondering why in the world they set it up like this. It's literally changing the 'personality' of the suit from ADV to Proto ... makes no sense at all. I've had the same thought, re: armor tanking, with a damage mod on the high. And I will have AR proficiency up to level three tomorrow, with any luck (as in, as long as the servers stay up.) I've already noticed a difference in my STD AR BPO (Toxin) with levels one and two. Now, here's something, Bojo ... did you ever have any luck with that Burst AR? I know you were messing with it awhile back. I've only tried it a few times, but I seem unable to get the hang of it so far... I am doing well with the regular AR right now (because, uh, it's pretty easy to use an AR, after running every weapon but AR for months), and I like the breach, too ... it's just that burst I'm having a problem with...

With the 9% increase in damage it is actually tolerable now. I use it now to keep people at Medium range bay. It is terrible in CQC, but with just enough range, and that +9% damage, you can screw up shield tankers. Heavies are kind of a long arduous chore though, but I prefer to fight heavies with the Breach anyways. When I get online I'll post my GK-13 fitting.

I was playing winmatar, on the old "map with the bridge" in domination mode. North side was not doing so well.. so they decided to put a sniper on top of the building that overlooks the bridge. I cant believe no-one countersniped this bozo.. or maybe they DID, but they thought they were all cool with their medium, well-armored-n-junk suits so they could just step back after taking a hit. So, I go up the back way. They're totally focused on their little scope, so I give them a hey-howdy with the knife. then go around on rooftop cleanup duty for the various red litterboxes. Surprisingly, while there were lots of hives, I didnt find a spawnpoint. DOUBLE_surprisingly.... I find ANOTHER sniper! Who didnt happen to notice that his buddy just disappeared off his radar. Or the knife-kill notice on the killfeed. So I send him to join his buddy. Then I jump off the roof.... and decide to check back, not 60 seconds later.. Both Of Them are up there again. So...guess what happens... again? Best. Domination. Ever. A personal best. 1225 WP. Damage dealt = 43,000, because I started the round by enabling a railgun on our side, then taking out everything in sight on their side. That map is kinda bugged like that. Yet, sadly, my K/D is still less than 1 for that match SIde note: effectively a 10 against 7 match, due to AFKs. I do so much better with smaller teams! PPS: Sad thing is, I would have killed THREE the first time, but right when I was practically breathing down the guy's neck, someone did a cool cannon job or something.

And, it actually makes me not want to use it.... firstly, I don't want to get used to having 2 high slots and then have to go back to only having 1 at Proto level. And given that sentiment, why not just continue to use the standard suit, then and jump right to proto....? At least that way it's sort of a natural progression in my play style. I really hope that CCP re-tunes the G/1 to be a 1H/3L layout.
Lucifalic Baked n Loaded 99	Posted - 2013.09.22 11:09:00 - [1965] - Quote its utterly ridiculous how the advanced gal scout is layed out. Should be 1/3 and thats that. either that or the proto should not lose the high slot in which case the mini should get an extra but i doubt that would happen. having those 3 lows would be great. I really enjoy having red and green juice on, but then theres no room for a dampener, or a repper or a range mod.... its just so limiting having two lows on a suit built for lows. Oh well what can ya do? Ill tell you what.... grab a shotgun and take your rage out on some AR toting medium tryhards. Morning scouts, i think im still asleep
Shutter Fly Molon Labe. RISE of LEGION 85	Posted - 2013.09.22 11:29:00 - [1966] - Quote I feel for all of you scouts out there, I loved the scout suit pre-Uprising, but I'm much happier and more efficient in my Minmatar Assault now. I may be a dirty traitor, but I also want to keep using my shotgun. I'll let you know if I ever decide to come crawling back to the scout suit on the incredibly off chance that CCP every actually decides to actually HELP the scout. Ran into Radar and some other good scouts in a DOM earlier today. I could only ever kill one before being consumed by the horde. It's the one that you can't see that you have to worry about, unfortunately for me, it was always more than one.

Meh. hehe cheers Shotty, I had a decent day yesterday, so it's hit and miss (haha literally). Favourite battle was owning the 4-point skirmish map where they're all pretty close together with the four towers on the outskirts (I need to learn the map names :-p ) I realised that the reds weren't particularly organised so I had it relatively easy, but wow. It felt good - 3 nova knife kills, something like 14-2, picking off reds hacking or going for the hack, and a counter-hack after a kill. Yeah! I've had a couple of really good games recently, I don't often get into double figures for kills, so that's either I'm getting better, or those are the battles where the reds aren't that organised or skilled. I suspect it's both. I really struggle against better players, so I need to figure that out. Oh and my main is dual-role, having specced into proto-AR at the respec, so I know all about the AR (Gek-38). I just find it boring now ;-) Though I guess I could try it on my scout and see what happens for sh1ts and giggles.

I down graded to the normal breach for the most part because now it does more damage than my Old GB 9, but with way less fitting restrictions & cost. But I like where the breach AR is right now. I have seen it's use become much more common than earlier Uprising & Chromosome. I am scared to try the CreoDron. Apparently the Allotek Burst AR has a RoF buff over the GK 13, or at least I last saw + heard

I'd like it to fit a plate, a repper, and a range amplifier for my most common fittings, with maybe a damage mod in High. I don't like shield tanking anymore because it hogs all my CPU/PG to get even a decent amount of Shields. I'd rather use Armor Tanking + Stealth than Shields + Sacrifice. Armor tanking does detract from movement speed but I use stealth to my advantage when my movement is hindered.
