For Eve Online some of the issues they've put off can be measured in years. Not that any acknowledgement would matter. They've already recognized that scout performance was dropping and would look into it. That was over two months ago with no forum updates.
On my main I play a heavy and the current position is to chill until 2.0 drops. The Devs have so much on their plates I'll be happy so long as they don't screw up the Forge Guns in a patch. |

Delta 749 wrote:Thats right CCP, just because you designed the suit for a certain play style it shouldnt be that way and you need to cater to guys who want to kick in doors with 1k + ehp and kill from 60 meters away
Seriously though thats what its designed for, not everyone gets to be in the spear head and if you want to go assaulting guys then maybe wear an assault suit while you do it
That's exactly the problem Delta. They didn't design the Heavy suit for a play-style. The only public comments was some rigmarole about "point-defense" and fatties don't even do that well. Success with the suit has been player driven whether it be HMG Murder Taxis or low-mid building FG over-watch.
No comment on Commando DS. |

Im going to try really hard not to talk about how i can use the FG better than the HMG in its own element ... crap just did

Some people felt Logi Dropsuits could be put in their "place"... errrr "role" by only allowing them sidearms. |

It can be done. Just change the L slot into an H slot on the Assault Suits, fiddle with heavy weapons stats a bit, spreadsheet the Heavy DS SP back, and we're set. It would save game development resources and the seemingly impossible suit balance issues. |

No kidding. Sometimes its good to be facetious.
Waiting on three future suits that are more than likely to be somewhat crappy like the Amarrian is crazy. Expecting them to be properly balanced against medium frames is crazy. Not using the Optional Repsec to jump ship and conform to what is most effective was crazy.
I like crazy. |

D legendary hero wrote:Running heavies with LAVs is even more expensive now because now you have to buy a car to drive around in and then get instant killed by a forgun or swamrs or a packed AV nade.
and even if you dnt, people will see you vehicle a mile away and be well prepared.
but, the most important thing is this. If a suit NEEDS some peice of equipment in order to work properly its broken. Assaults don't need anything, logi's don't need anything to function properly. and they can vary as much as they like.
I've gotten around that with 2.4 million SP in Vehicle Upgrades and a LAV BPO with some militia shield/power-diagnostic BPOs. Hit and run tactics. Not the prettiest solution but if anything to adapt in heavies suits has always been an interesting challenge. |
