It is only a beast against new or very bad players in cqc, there is no chance 1 vs 1 against a duvolle even as a tanked proto with the HMG skills fully maxed out.

Why does an Exile/Toxin more damage than a GEK? I don't use AR.

Whenever they roll out a large new patch, they accompany it with one of these 3x events to bring people out of the woodwork, stress test their mechanics all week and see how the patch is holding up.

In the mean time, they are stressing out the players with poor patch implementation by offering up what is clearly unbalanced mechanics that swing wildly in favor from one weapon to the next, again and again.

It wouldn't be so bad if there was something else to do in DUST, like a single-player mode, where you're not constantly combating with mechanics that are seemingly perpetually not in your favor; unless you enjoy utilizing fit of the month but despite that, you are as much as a victim to the mechanics even in doing so.

If you feel that you have to take advantage of the FOM to stay competitive, that's even worse, because it's forcing you into a specific play style rather than allowing you to develop your own.

OP, I congratulate you for trying to defend the HMG, as I and many of my companions have done, but regrettably, we are but a small voice.

You see, this is Dust 514, where the AR users call the shots, and anytime anyone attempts to make another weapon more powerful than their precious ARs, they get attacked and stomped down in the dust that wafts across the deserts of this games maps.

CCP shall not harken overmuch to the issues at hand, rather being more concerned with the whims and wishes of the greater part of players: the AR users. For the rest of us, we must endure the long walk until CCP comes to their senses in regards to Scouts and Heavies.

For though we are facing destitute times, we must place out trust in the Lord and Savior LogiBro to deliver us into viability.

Those are not paragraphs. You broke up four sentences that were a paragraph. Congratulations, you've failed basic writing.

I said writing, not spelling.

Now you get no ISK, sorry.

I do have this broken HMG.

If you want it.

See? A space between lines does not make a paragraph.

I hope that you understand.

It's not meant to mock you or feed the troll; honestly!

But, you make my eyes hurt.

With all these spaces between the lines.

There's so much potential being wasted in those spaces!

Like, the joy of having a fully constructed and well written paragraph!
