Buff? No, it is a nerf. Missing a target due to recoil is a skill issue; having to stop sending rounds down range because of overheating is a broken weapon issue.

Thou naysaying hath offended me, and the company thou keepest maketh my butt drip. Thou doth makest me feel unclean.

On a more serious note:

WAAAAH WAAAH *butthurt*

Get the hell over it. Better accuracy on the HMG means my time to kill just dropped on those caldari sissies and their resistance to kinetic damage. In fact, this one's a "must test" add.

More accuracy to the HMG? Yes please! More reason to not run screaming into crowds squealing like a moron crying about killstreaks? Absolutely.

I was on the fence but the whining has me on the 1.4 heat nerf! YAY!

Stupid idiots don't even test weapon efficiency before they cry about how CCP pooped in their cheerios.

Do us all a favor and disable your keyboard.

While first starting speccing into HMGs, overheating was my BIGGEST issue because I like to charge into fights and get killstreaks matching orbitals. Now instead of worrying about being on target, I have to look at the bottom of my screen and hope I am not missing. This is bull...I am foreseeing myself spamming 'Respec' threads.

With this change, they need to name the proto HMG the 'Fragile HMG' because boundless sounds like you can shoot it forever.
RA Drahcir Psygod9 116	Posted - 2013.08.21 05:48:00 - [3] - Quote I propose a change to Sentinel bonus: Reduction to weapon heat buildup by 5% per level. Increase in heavy weapon reload speed by 2% per level.
RA Drahcir Psygod9 116	Posted - 2013.08.21 06:26:00 - [4] - Quote Well, how about 5% magazine capacity per level? If we have to cease fire after a set time, we should elongate the interval between reloads.
RA Drahcir Psygod9 116	Posted - 2013.08.21 06:38:00 - [5] - Quote Ughn. I am already butthurt about this 'nerf' and it has not even come out yet. Shoot. I was excited for the Armor buff but this crap has ruined my enthusiasm for 1.4. Only time will tell.
RA Drahcir Psygod9 116	Posted - 2013.08.21 07:11:00 - [6] - Quote Right? How about fixing the HMG before changing it? Not only will the HMG fire blanks the majority of the time, but it will also overheat constantly.

If it turns to ****, I am right. If not, then good.

RA Drahcir Psygod9 117	Posted - 2013.08.21 08:01:00 - [10] - Quote Brainstorming problems with the HMG...heat buildup and recoil are not of any issue. Why reinvent the wheel? If any changes are to made with the HMG it should be hit detection with the cone of fire. Why nerf heat buildup and buff something that is already fine?

RA Drahcir Psygod9 117	Posted - 2013.08.21 18:33:00 - [11] - Quote Right now we are able to take out blueprint LAVs with one stream of fire if they miss their first attempt of running us over. Now with the overheating variable, we are going to get ran over more often. No more "toe-to-toe with vehicles" as advertised. If it turns out to be a nerf, which it seems to be, I am going to join in on the rooftops with a FG.
RA Drahcir Psygod9 122	Posted - 2013.08.21 18:55:00 - [12] - Quote As of now we can shoot 374 rounds out of the boundless before overheating...if X(1.15)=374, then without the overheating reduction we should be able to shoot 325 rounds. Makes sense? Maybe this won't be too much of a problem. But recoil? What recoil?

The recoil already is negligible. Honestly, if you cannot handle it, just go to the nearest walmart and buy yourself a can of M-A-N. I will probably see you there because I am on my way to stock up on some coolant.
