I'm not asking for a HP buff.

Give us more PG/CPU, also make us harder to hit, giving us a buff to Sprint and Movement speed.

Give us two damn Equip slots.

Get rid of the stupid stamina delay you added, but only remove it for Scouts.

Increase base Stamina and Stamina regen speed.

1.4 will be the death of the Scout if we dont get changed, and its starting to look like from dev/CPM responses (IRC, CPM-AMA, Forums) that Scout wont be getting any love.

Dont make that mistake CCP, I can handle one more month, but two is pushing it.

Granted, but you're gonna have to spec into scout type-ii

it's kind of funny, I hear it so often that scouts are only good because all the mechanics in the game suck, they improve them and that's a problem with the game.

regardless, imo the problem is that the scouts are meant to fill 3 roles.

first is a forward fast unit that can get ahead of the standard troops and relay information, a role that is close to utterly pointless in dust. as the battle is both static, and no tools are really given to the scout to accomplish this role.

second is an assassin, and scout again aren't given the tool to accomplish this. no weapon used by the scout benefits from their speed more then ehp of an assault, or more accurately no weapon has remained unerfed.

shotgun used to be a great ohk scout weapon, now it's been nerfed to useless, sniper is a lot weaker in the current meta then it used to be and is better on units with high hp anyway, flay lock has been nerfed, knives have never been that good.

so the fast attack assassin type of scout is pretty much pointless.

finally you have the third role which is the distraction role, you go in hit some guys a bit then run away, in this scouts can still function very well.

end of the day scouts are largely unsupported in what they do, and some weapons designed purely for them would go a long way to improving the role.

I have gotten to the stage where I plant REs, get some player's attention, and lure them into my trap, then I blow them up.

CCP Wolfman posted some sensor changes it may be the thing scouts need.

You think thats enough?

Scouts have no hope of survival.

Well...
Scouts are supposed to scout.
What if you could see everyone and their mother through walls, and never show up as red?

Last night after the update was one of the worst nights I ve ever had.

Aiming assist to shoot a scout that has a hit box that increases in size when I sprint an lags behind me as I run, being hit after I turn the corner because my hit box / collision model sticks out!?

I've been patient but this crap is stupid!

People are getting rewarded for killing me when there not actually shooting me! Then you put a aim assist on this! Damn you ccp I seen you do a lot of stupid crap in this game but this cuts the cake !

EVERYTHING I SPEC INTO GETS $\|it on!
Scout suit crap = stamina an hit box an speed problems
Shotgun= full clip to kill a guy
Knives= can't kill a moving guy
Bombs = now have a delay worse than before
Faylock= used it as long as I could an expected the nerf an I'm cool wit that
Mass driver= soon to probably get nerfed
Smg= now my primary weapon!

Tell me why should I trust you will fix my 6 months of work an money down the drain, when in 1.1 you actuall had to shoot me to kill me!
Now all some noob has to do is shoot behind me to hit my dragging hit box or out strafe an jump me!

You can't tell me this $ hits working as intended !
They have systematically made this class utterly worthless an everythime I fugue out a way to get a tin of kills you nerf something in the game that prevents this!

Knives - really fast hit an run- change = increase strafe speed an hit box size with speed to ruin getaway, add a delay to Nk, no more quick slashes, knives stop working after 5/6 quick slashes
Sg- ohk- change = lower range, need more shots , increased strafe speed, worsen the accuracy on hit box detection
Bombs- quick drop in a crowd an run to detonate- change= more visable , an a delay time add to prevent quick detonation
Faylock - no need to explain
Smg- only thing reliable

So now I have a 15 million point SMG !
I could have ran a damn dragonfly scout with a pimped out smg for the same results I get now after dumping points into proficiencies of all these weapons an profile dampening an scanning , endurance an a scout suit that you obliterated!

Fix this by 1.4!

I've been questioning, are they moving this class to sniper roll?

I'd like it if scouts didn't have to wait a sec for stamina to recharge.

Edit:oh and Gallente scouts need a buff to base scan range so we can...ya know...scout.
