Idea Scout

I like the general idea, but the sharpness I iron sword part seems a bit too op. I am assuming this is based off the tf2 scout?

 

i like, but tbh if a new class gets added we should take opportunity to make it really cool and unique

like it should totally be able to run thru a wall or something lol, if it's going to be centered around high mobility might as well give it another cool feature for it

i tossed the idea around a lot here, gave details on it with some feedback as well

idk what else could be added to make it more unique than an assassin dash while keeping it simple and centered around mobility

 

I really like this idea. People are already playing soldier on defence and it makes sense to use a class that is actually designed for it rather than one which is designed for capping. My only potential problem is that adding this would leave the current stalemate problem unchanged - not that this class should be the one fixing it, but other changes should be added alongside this to fix that issue.

 

I like this idea, but it seems a bit over powered while defending the flag. For instance, if the opponent captured your flag, you will be dashing towards him, and then getting the speed II. Ninja is also really strong with defending, yet the class takes damage while teleporting. I want there to be another defending class, but this, I can't see in-game.

 

Needs tweaking and some thorough testing, but it's viable

 

Love great mobility classes, I like it

 

Tbh it sounds like something that should already be in the game

 

I know you specify Scout can only dash horizontally, but I think it would be cool if they could dash any direction (so like vertically for example). It gives the class more versatility in my opinion.

 

I get this would be free but like, i could play this

or i could play ninja

 

yes

 

This class has a couple dashes and speed boosts. That's it. Ninja can do all of this already with its built in mobility and enderpearls - and the mechanics of this are all clunkier than Ninja (i.e. move backwards and right click to do x, move to the side and right click to do y. Like why lol)

It's tankier and there's no mobility penalty so the playstyle would be different so it's not technically a rehash. I'd just play ninja tho lul (or Chemist - more sustain, plenty of mobility after jump boost & speed, and way more damage)

 

what if you give it a "Power Sword" from lazer's dwarf rework ??

Scout would be extremely OP for any run-away - being able to dash to their side or front and hit the flag carrier back - and do this repeatedly for not getting killed in 3ish hits. A flag carrier would also need to do knock the Scout out of the way if this happens, or even in a mess of a recov scenario near an enemy spawn, so this variable factor of sword strength would play very interestingly and balanced tbh (starting as default iron sword at the very most, and possibly even buffing the armor/resistance of the scout to be able to suck in more hits, which would make it even more noob friendly B))).

fr just imagine a Scout getting 6 C-C-Combo'd from a better pvper, and then having its sword upgraded all the way to sharp VI... would be a gf and a scary recoverer

 

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I actually like the idea, @GalaThundR

I'm envisioning a scout, or a small team of scouts, darting after an enemy flag carrier as soon as they see that the flag was grabbed and they respawn with /scout. They chase down the flag carrier, run AHEAD of the enemy flag carrier then turn around to hit them back a bit until more powerful characters catch up to join in reclaiming their flag.

In stalemates, I can see scouts running and dashing across the map, not being quite as dangerous or susceptible to damage as assassins, being far more easily spotted than ninjas, but being especially harder than either of them to snipe or land any ranged hit due to the somewhat erratic movement potential. Once a scout reaches the enemy flag room, they could distract the people there by dashing around and running faster than most, swinging their sword now and then to keep them on their toes...and serve true to their class name by scouting and reporting what the enemy flag defenders are doing and what classes are making up their defense team. Even when they're killed they'd be able to get back to the enemy flag room fairly quickly to report back any updates.

Even without added perks, and even with a weaker weapon, scouts could prove useful as a free class - especially for those who have no premium classes yet and get frustrated by so many others being able to move around much more quickly. This would offer a taste of what CTF PvP is like in the fast lane without being too powerful to leave the other free classes ignored.

Only one small thought/suggestion about the dash ability... As you have it now, standing still or moving forward while right-clicking with the sword will dash forward. I propose having the sword only dash forward when right-clicking while moving forward (unless staying still and sneaking/crouching disables the dashing?) -- the reason being that sometimes blocking is better than activating the dash cooldown (like when an assassin is about to assassinate and be an easy kill when it's blocked).

+1 from me on this, and I know you've been doing it awhile but again I'm late to the party so I'll just share this thought now: Nice touch, making those demo videos using command blocks!
