You say nerfing ..... i say Buffing.

Listen mate ... be quiet ... because you really have not IDEA... i was here when Heavies where everywhere and HMG's used to kill people from 500 meters away.. i was also here when scouts where impossible to kill and shotguns used to kill Heavies in ONE single shot. Scouts and Heavies destroyed each other ... and now they trying to do the same with the Assault suit and the AR.

Believe what you want... that is what happen. I remember clearly a period in Dust 154, when Assaults where just target practice for Heavies and Scouts, and the AR was pretty much ignored. All the QQing was Heavies complaining about Scouts, and Scouts complaining about Heavies. Do a search if you don't believe me.

So you don't remember all the ;

Shotguns are OP, they are destroying my HEAVY suit in one shot !!

or

Heavies are sniping from the top of a roof with a HMG !!!

I even remember CCP thinking about nerfing the ladders at one point .....

Yeah.. you missing the point.... How good is the HMG when you have maxed all the skills ? Or the SCR ? About as good or even better than the AR with maxed skills ?

No... another one that have problems listening .... i said MAXED skills.... ;

Weapon Operation

Weapon Proficiency

Heat Reduction

Sharpshooter

And so on...

Are you trying to say that the HMG with maxed skill is worst than the AR ?

Ive noticed heavies are more adaptable though and have taken to cruising in LLAVs and jumping out right next to you which drastically minimizes their vulnerability window and eliminates the range disadvantage

I use an ADV HMG with a ADV heavy suit .....so i honestly think that YOU are in crack. The only problem with the HMG is the aiming... or to be precise the fact that you have to AIM and not just spray and pray... but the AR have exactly the same problem.

If you find the HMG hard to use is because you aiming SUCKS.

Hey, just because some guys figured out how to actually play a heavy like someone who leads the charge and kicks in the door doesnt mean you should be upset because you are still the dumb fat kind trundling out into the open to get killed
But if thats to hard then just use the HMG for what it was designed to do, point defense, Im sure we all know what a pain it is to try and take a point in an installation thats guarded by a heavy at a choke point
The new installations in particular have a lot of nice spots to set up and throw a wall of bullets at anyone unfortunate enough to poke their head through a hall or doorway

I head shoot people with my HMG as easily as with the AR... As a person that uses both regularly, i'll say that the balance between the two is nearly perfect. Except that in CQC the HMG is a monster .....

You must not be very good if you complain about all these things that can kill you and as for point defense take that up with the Devs, they have stated before that heavies are the defenders and not the first wave guys kicking in doors

Also have you ever heard of setting up somewhere not in the direct line of fire? There is this amazing thing you can do where you stand at an angle from the opening to a room so when someone enters you have a direct bead on them before they have one on you
This might be a little advanced for you though if the mean old AR guys with grenades are giving you as much trouble as your whining indicates
Of course how you could have so much trouble in a suit that gives you 1k EHP if your core skills are up is beyond me, hell thats even before you add any modules
But go ahead, complain about stuff that only damages you while it outright kills others in different suits, that doesnt under mine you at all

and no your pay to win argument is invalid. pay to win paying REAL money to own the battlefield. if someone calls in a 2 million isk tank that costs 10 matches to get back, he DAMN well better be owning the battlefield. not a hard concept. all of the dropsuits from one team combined=the price of 1 well fitted vayu/falchion.

I want a huge difference between active and passive tanks. People should have to choose between 30-60 seconds of brick or justbe a sodden ppiece of wood.

So because we chose a weapon that was not the AR and it got nerfed, we are not entitled to a respec but u r? I hope the AR is nerfed into oblivion just to see all of you cry. Remember how just about everyone had to adapt to nerfs. I spent 2 months worth of SPninto tanks that got nerfed. 1 month into callogi which got nerfed. I had to grind to become competitive and so will you. Of will be so sweet when submachine guns are ripping you apart in optimum range :) or when you try to take heavies head on and melt. Yup :) revenge is sweet. The nerf hammer spares no one....NO RESPECS ;)
