* Removed rotation modifier on heavy frames - all frames can now rotate at the same speed

* Adjusted Armor Plate attributes - HP bonus of 85/110/135 (Basic/Enhanced/Complex) and speed penalties of 2%/3%/5% (with full skill bonuses this equates to 93.5/121/148.5)

* Adjusted Ferroscale Plate attributes - HP bonus of 35/50/75 (with full skill bonuses this equates to 38.5/55/82.5)

* Adjusted Reactive Plate attributes - HP bonus of 25/40/60 and speed penalties of 0%/1%/1% (with full skill bonuses this equates to 27.5/44/66)

* All handheld weapon reload skills now have a cost multiplier of x3 (down from x6) and their skill book ISK price reduced to 203,000 from 774,000

* All heavy weapon reload skills now provide a 5% bonus, up from 3%

* The Forge Gun, Mass Driver, Swarm Launcher, and Plasma Cannon ammo skills now provide 1 extra unit of ammo for each level of the skill (for a maximum of 5) instead of a % bonus per level

* The HMG Operation skill bonus has been changed from reducing heat build-up to reducing recoil by 5% per level

* Overhauled, retuned and reactivated aim assists for the control pad

* Fixed a bug that was making dropsuit strafe speeds too fast



I know some of these things affect other roles, but I believe they are huge improvements for Heavies as well. The biggest improvement is the turn speed buff. It will make HMG wielding heavies the CQC beasts they should be.

For me it's the armor plate buff. More armor+less speed penalty=happy fatty. I want to see how the HMG will act with the skill change, I'm kinda on the fence about that one.

The nerf hammer will return when proto heavies are going 30 kills a match again.

It will take a day or so to adjust to the turn speed, but once you get used to it, your scores should dramatically increase.

wasn't the turn speed only for mouse and keyboard?

Nope. All heavies had less turn speed than other suits.

Guys what does "PC" mean?

Personal computer?
Presidents choice?
Premerital coitus?

No idea.


Maybe Planetary conquest.

The Forge Gun one is actually a nerf to charging time, which I can live with. Other than that yeah, this Update excites me.

has no one noticed that they are removing the heat build up skill tree/ you guys do remember without it maxed out you overheat all the damn time then you are locked out of sidearm nades and are vulnerable for 8 seconds.

I would like to know more on what level they are leaving the overheat cause if it it is back to basic levels I think 95- 120 shots then you over heat. this would be annoying and be a huge nerf to hmg.

Well you got to remember as you go up the tiers the overheat is lessened, so you would be able to get more shots off with an MH-82 than you can with the basic. I think if you use adv/pro the overheat would not be a problem.

\
except that skill has now been removed and the bonus is gone so we are back to the beginner level of overheat without the 5 teirs to lessen them.

all heavise know that before you skilled that tree up the thing over heats early and often.

Where did you get all that information? It's not in the devblog?

The handheld weapon reload skills being cheaper etc.that can't be in the fitting screen. Where did you get all the info from the first post in this thread? 1.4 isn't live so how would you see it ingame already?

I'm glad the reloading skill is finally relevant. A shame that CCP didn't change Light and Sidearm skills to that as well.

I think it will make watching your heat much more important. I've honestly never seen a hmg overheat.
