Ugh. I feel very much like an American today.

Kinda haven't looked at myself in the mirror in a while. . . I look gaunt and pale. Not my usual lack of going outside pale, or my natural pale of ethnic background, but the kind that says I'm sick.

And the dark circle under my eyes make me look like a very freckled vampire.
But those are always there.

I looked around in GD for a bit today... the scout hate is strong in there.
I am now confused.

I do not have the strongest gun game in Dust
I do not run the best slayer fits in dust (kitten, I rarely run above a STD suit)
Lately I rarely even run a decently optimized fitting (for related info see the term Crossasochism)

Yet, I rarely find myself killed by scouts more than assaults, granted I usually am taken down by either of those more than Sents or commandos (unless you add a logi to them) and I chuckle when a logi kills me, just like when a flaylock or LR does (oh look, one of those!) but really I am floored by the rage about scouts, I simply don't have that much trouble dealing with scout players in game (it's not like everyone is mrmustard ).
I can't possibly just happen to have a play style that naturally counters scouts, can I?

I think I am going to protect my logi circuits by drinking more and going back to avoiding GD

GD **** show is awe inspiringGǪ

You feel like an American because you are sick?

I thought vampires were sparkly not freckly. I am so confused.

Ahhh~
I should edit it.
It's because of malnourishment. I'm getting the right amount of calories, but not enough of the vitamins/minerals/proteins that I need. A common issue in America.

As it turns out, there's a thread on the EVE forums bigger than us.
Ready for the slog to 6k pages?

Just to be clear, the related possible changes have nothing (directly) to do with mods.
While they may indirectly effect the value of mods (by very mildly devaluing them), the only direct change would be to dropsuit base stats.

I actually miss-phrased that, doh.
I mean:
Stop giving bonuses to suits and give them to mods.

GD is full of sheep. Many would claim to be wolves, but it is the biggest exposition of unskilled, unadaptable players who somehow managed to convince their peers that they are actually good.

GD is a s***storm magnet period.

Funnily enough we could go a few days without any anti-scout crap. Heck we could go a week of "y'know I'm realizing that scouts aren't a problem". All it takes is one person to complain about scouts and make false accusations and claims and the anti-scout s***storm shall cometh. And usually it's the same people who just earlier said "scouts aren't all that bad", because they're easily swayed back to "popular" or "loudest" opinion. GD is full of sheep.

How dare they get outplayed by something with less possible HP! How dare scouts have a hitbox representative of their size, they should have the same hitbox as mediums! How dare scouts rely on speed and e-war to survive in a world where whoever has the most hp and dps output generally wins! How dare they rely on alpha weaponry to kill suits that have larger hp pools in a world where otherwise dps is king! How dare scouts fit even a single HP mod to increase survivability, which seems to be GD's definition of "tanked" scout! Oh, and let's make false claims that hit detection works inherently worse against scouts.

Assists:13k
vehicle assists: 370
losses 2K
Wins: 4K
Hacks: 7.7K
Suicides: 630 (Honestly surprised at how low this is)
Total logon (just vibbia): 2827 hours

Maybe I should request it for my alts too, to see my actual total playtime

But that just got me called a FotM chaster, after playing logi since before there were races

yeah doesn't cover alts, or anything from pre-TQ migration, so there's a fair bit more time to be added

EDIT: But since we're sharing

Cross Atu:
Assisted Kills: 9919
Assisted Kills in a Vehicle: 449
Deaths: 25686
Kills: 25103
Losses: 1753
Objects hacked: 9230
Suicides: 398
Wins: 2654
Logon Count:
Total logon time: 3080 hours

Wish there was a way to know how many of those hours were spent on spreadsheets, admin stuff, etc
...then again maybe it's best not to know

Cool story.
Did you know I was a slayer-logi before there were races too.

Seriously though, it's only about 5 or 6 players that just keep posting the exact same post time after time. an IP ban of just those few people would completely stop it.
And the Sentinels that play on low sensitivity. Killing a sentinel with low x-axis sensitivity is like taking candy from a baby.

The sidearms as scouts only weapons topic is back in GD. Should we tell the guy most of us could destroy him with just our sidearms even if he had a slight weapon?

Nope, not me. I don't know what I'd do without my Plasma Cannon.
It's...it's... it's just so OP now.
Like, there are still some hit-detection problems on infantry where the hot potato passes right through a target, but you're not stuck with it out unable to run anymore, it shoots fast enough to hit moving targets a lot easier, needs more arc, but yeah, it can actually kill a Sentinel if you hit them... as a user since 1.1 that thing is amazing now.

Like lots of you guys can't live without Knives, I can't do without that.

What's with this posted stats thing?
