I mean just because something is part of the game doesnt mean people cant complain about it. If i had a mech that would one shoot everyplayer with amazing accuracy people would complain because they want to play a fun game and not get killed in 1 shoot. To give an example in CS people complained a shitload about the R8 revolver.
To get to all the arguments you heard already:
1.Scanner prevents Predator and Infiltrator from playing their role.
2.You dont know if you are under the influence of a scanner if the jammer would work against scanners how would you know when to use him
3.It most likely wins you 1vs1 engagments with the info you would gain
PS: complaining about the community by the community 10/10 idea
PSS: If emps are so good why dont you play them i mean they are in the game

This is why I suggested an internal that makes you not appear on scanner when walking.
You burn 3 slots so you can't orblord or double on speed internals. You just need one mech in your garage with this internal and then when someone uses scanners you punish them for it.
I also suggested internal that reduces EMP duration by say 30% for a 2 slot, 50% for a 3 slot. You still get disabled, but are back in the fight sooner. Again just keep one mech with this equipped when matches start turning into EMP spam.

if console version will be merge with PC, you can't "keep one mech" for this purposes. because you can have only one brawler in hangar, not 2 or 3 like it working now. so, if enemies don't bring emp, you are waste internal slots, and you can't change the same mech with the different items/internals loadout like we have now. only if keep special TV for anti-emp role =)

but we've been assured that we keep all the mechs we currently have in PC.
I have 2 brawlers, 2 infiltrators, etc
I still think these internals are a good idea. even if you have to choose one of your less favourite mechs to keep it equipped on.

i just drop scanners to hear the whining and outrage. does'nt make me milge--i suck too famously for that, i just do it out of sadism. and an enraged or annoyed to distraction enemy is Easy. or at least easier.
the funny ones are when i get venom for dropping one in Bots-TDM.
really?
it's a game-included component. it's gonna get used. just like hunting down jammers, scanners are REALLY noisy and relatively easy to find. and as noobs buy a mech that already has one, it's gonna get used even more.
put in a Request. maybe it'll get fixed.
Soon

LoL. now I have an actual reason to consider using one.
I can do this and drop a holo on it too.
I love strats like this when there's some bigmouth noobcannon who hackuses the likes of PsychadelicGrass and claims their team is fuzzy bunny when they are the lowest scorer on it. They throw out male member size insults as if we will be offended when it is really just entertaining our inner trolls.

I always thought that scanners and emp needed buff and also they felt pretty useless, the emp/disrupt never really needed the nerf imo. Sound is more op tbh and not many pilots seem to ulitize is properly,got called wh alot back then even cloak was pretty easy to detect

If you choose to still use scanners after being in the community for even the shortest time, you are just a prick. I usually stand there and announce where it is so the other team can kill it.
From now on, I will be using friendly fire emps on scanner pilots just like i would a scumbag cheater. Friendly fire should kill scanners and their users.
#18
Posted 13 February 2017 - 06:31 PM
i think everyone on the team where someone dropped a scanner should drop holos in a nice neat line pointing to it.
I think private servers need an auto-destruct option for scanners. it could be part of a set of options for comp play, etc.

They should buff the scanners, what? I see nothing wrong with being able to see everybody and predict there moments so you can get an easy kill on them no matter where they go. Add an item where auto pilot kicks in and the game aims for you also, we need these things to make Howken Great Again!

So you have a few hours of playtime. first off:
Welcome to hawken.

the current meta has been cooking since August of 2014. It would be a trivial matter for the community to work out enough details about the game to determine the caustic effect that scanners have on a match in that amount of time, something of which you may have yet to experience. Then again, the entirety of your posts have been nothing but complaints. and yet you get salty at some ingame complaining?
Odd.
Go ahead and keep using scanners - the enhanced awareness you have of the field will compensate for your accuracy(which isn't exacly good, let alone half-way decent). If you're worth half the salt you're spilling right now, you will see it for yourself, and probably stop using them as well.
..i think emp's are BS ...
Um, you can dodge EMPs. I mean, most players would burn a dodge to avoid an EMP.
a-bloo-bloo-bloo
lastly, great job on pretty much invalidating your opinion from the vast majority of the community.
We're not here to complain about other players, we're here to discuss the game, even if that includes complaints about the game.Yes, yes - we have diverged from that a few times, but only in the sense of community. I'm not about to post a thread bitching and moaning about all the crap I've dealt with, let alone the crap I've dealt out.
Please to be slightly more humorous with your shitposts constructive with your content. Thank you.

I would argue that it's been cooking longer than that. I've experienced one and only one patch since I've been here starting around March 2014 (G2R patch is the only one I've seen). And I wouldn't say that shook up the meta. I would guess that the current meta started cooking with or shortly after the steam patch. It has certainly refined since then, and maybe it was around august (I think later tho) when scanner became universally hated. Some old balls probably knows more on the subject than I and can correct me here.

Salvage: An Idea to Stop Leavers

Scanners. Who cares? Just don't come back like you've got some extraordinary skill is the rub.
if console version will be merge with PC, you can't "keep one mech" for this purposes. because you can have only one brawler in hangar, not 2 or 3 like it working now. so, if enemies don't bring emp, you are waste internal slots, and you can't change the same mech with the different items/internals loadout like we have now. only if keep special TV for anti-emp role =)
While they don't technically let you purchase extra mechs in game, you can get the two obvious ones g1/g2 versions, in edition to this, any mechs that come in purchased packs on the Store page on Xbox (not in game) will grant you an extra setup for said mech, such as the founders pack. For instance (even though I don't use it) I have two g1 Vanguards in my garage, I could have 3 if I had a g2, but I don't need one so I didn't get one.
Seeing as PC already allows this and Xbox does not, I see no reasons why they would not continue supporting the better features the PC version has to offer. Console does not have in-match garages either, think that will make them remove them on PC? Probably not. ;p

yup. i have an infil with jammer1+scanner3, extra zerk with ism1+emp3 in my main both with composite armor (for 1v1 rage) and orbloard internals, and the 2 or 3 smurfs i use the most. i don't "payback" folks for their being narcissistic prigs expecting everyone to abide by arbitrary rules not included in the TOS. it's just that it's a grin when you get rage over using any items/internals universally available as part of the game (how stupid is that?). especially from aimbotters. oh what joy that is ![]()

Yes, its me.
I have smurf accounts which are reaper-ss centric, infil-centric, raider-assault centric.
I have a whole range of 'bastard' accounts. Arrogant Bastard is ultimately brawler centric. Fat Bastard will become Gren centric... You get the idea.
People don't mind Poor Bastard, but they get incensed at Rich Bastard. Go figure.
Scout has a lot to teach me still. And I still have a lot to learn. I think scanner retards pilots growth.

That's not the issue most, if not all, of us have. It's the scanner also supplying enemy locations to all of your allies that we are "pissed" about. I wouldn't have as much of an issue with scanners if they didn't provide location intel to your allies.
