Ok, now I'm ready for the hordes of ZOMG Warriors that this post will likely bring out of the woodwork.
1) I am a heavy. I know how much the gear costs, I know it's limitations. I also know I die from sniper assisted kills, grenades, and lasers more than anything.
2) There's talk on the general board fearing a heavy nerf. I agree with the sentiment that we don't need a nerf here. What we need is a reduction in the overall amount of heavies in the game that are not running heavy weapons. Today, in a two and a half hour span I saw 5 or six players using the heavy suit with either a laser rifle, AR, or a mass driver. They were all wearing militia suits.
3) There's a lack of consistency from CCP regarding heavies. For instance, there is no Heavy BPO other than the milita suits. If you look at the Heavy gear and weapons, they are sometime 300% more expensive in SP and ISK compared to their Assault rifle and dropsuit counterparts. Everything about Heavy Spec really screams "NO DABBLING" and the Milita BPO's are ridiculously expensive in terms of AUR in comparison as well. In most regards to Heavies CCP has made it the most difficult spec that a player can go for. With one exception, which leads me to my point:
If you want to reduce the amount of heavies on DUST, then you have to get rid of the Militia suits. It falls in line with everything else surrounding that dropsuit; which is pay through the nose, and pay a lot of SP.
If the intention is to cut down on Heavy dropsuit proliferation; don't penalize the guys like me that are spec'd for heavy. Take away the dabblers by making them spend SP and 787k to wear the suit with the subsequent suit costs as well.
Or just nerf the hell out of the militia dropsuit. That works too.
It is temporary problem i think. I see too many of heavy in the game, but after i got some skill points it is not so problem. Militia heavy no problem at all. Many people got heavy because this cheap fat armor let them survive a little more and gave them advantage at start of game. But later they will change it for other dropsuits, because heavy is highly specialized class.
So now we can see how many noobs cant play without additional armor
p.s. and getting 1 lvl skill of heavy armor is very easy too, so eliminating militia heavy will not help at all. |
