oh please

There's a reason why they made Commandos! Duh! (Sarcastic)

Have hope for the amarr heavy lazer and the galente plasma flamethrower for heavy. =D

+1

ive always found a way (stubborness) to make playing a heavy work

but finally......i think the game has made it to where even i cant play heavy.

i love my HMG, its half the reason i play this game. but now that i cant play anymore, due to the HMG being essentially UP, and no chance to move in close to enemies anymore bc the SR is such a beastly weapon, and the new weapons keep me at such range, im literally unable to play anymore.
ive not broken 3 kills all day today (day of 1.7 release) bc of the things mentioned above, among other variables.

so like OP said, if youre so dead set on eliminating the heavy role from the game, then give me my SP back so i can do another route.


ps. thanks a lot

Heavies should only be weak against 2 things:
1. other heavies
2. vehicles
I personally believe 1 heavy should be able to mow down at least 3 enemies (proto or not) 1 on 3 (with a HMG).

Used to be able to and at the current AR range, but AR elitists cried and, since they're the majority, they got their way. Looks like the next in line of majority were HAV pilots. So, if you're a heavy, you're screwed at the moment. And no, commandos don't count as assaults are far better.

I'm a logi and i find it disturbing that i can kill a full shield/health sentinel with a HMG (when he's shooting at me). I would rather lose a fair fight then win a rigged one.

lol we use to be able to do that back in closed beta, i would mow down 3 guys with the HMG and still have enough armor/shields to take on another 3. then BOOM CCP nerfed us to the point where no one is scared of us.

I feel your pain. I'll still be tossing forge shots down range, I just probably won't use anything better than my militia fit outside of PC.

oh the golden days of the heavys when we walked the coridoors and hallways as gods and had to be tackled by no less then 4 men dedicated to our demise . then the begining of the dark ages aka uprising the days when our guns had all the range of a childs sling shot and the acuracy of a potato gun. then a hint of light in 1.5 but alas was nothing more than a tease . ive since traded my ak0 basic for a ak0 logi . we as heavys have had the same stale guns the same stale suits for 11 months now . all the other racial rifles are in place and with the rebuff of the mass driver and now the combat rifle ....
GG ccp GG you have sucesfuly elimenated the heavy as a viable class

Oh my goodness heavies arent made to walk all over the battleield and spit out a Forge Gun blast! They are for defense and support! SUPPORT! Aiding others. Tehy are to be paired with a frakking logi, and move up when the Assault cant break a line. Stop it. Chromosome was broken because you killed in a second. Now, you cry because you aren't a God. Assaults are viable because they often run tight g pups. Find a heavy and logo, work together. The game sint working on Squad play, not Call of Duty: Heavy

If you leave a heavy and a logi at a point for defense you will end up with a capped point a dead heavy and a dead logi.
You obviously never wear the suit and have no idea what its like. You might as well start commenting on what its like to walk in space you probably have about as much experience there as you do with a heavy.

And I mean no disrespect but your Logi and Heavy auck then. Any combat Logo with a Scrambler Rifle, Repair Tool, and Active Scanner will easily allow for dispatch of hostiles. And I do not use the suit you are correct, that's because the playstile isnt for me. I fight and move, hence I am an Assault. Try my tactic. It truly should work. Heavies arent loners, they are support. The Logi can also carry Flux grenades so th HMG rips into the armor.

The problem is with the current TTK.

I run a heavy with an EHP of over 1.5k. It costs me over 100,000 ISK to field one set of this fitting.
I have a life expectancy of under 2 seconds versus just about anything.

Do I expect to be an unkillable death machine? No. No.
I do expect that I can last a bit longer than 2 seconds with a fit that costs as much as a standard tank fit. I do expect people to be scared of my HMG, and to be able to shrug off anything but concentrated fire from multiple sources.


The Heavy suit has no way of "Supporting" it's team. It's designed to kill. It's designed to get up in your face and scream 'COME AT ME". Right now, we just tickle people, while AR users just faceroll us in close combat.


I'll admit, I've had a few games where I've managed to pull off some crazy **** as a Heavy. But they're few and far between. But right now, Heavies aren't worth a damn thing, and most of my SP has been put into Heavy suits. I run a full proto build, and it's worthless compared to my 5k Logi build. It really is.
I do feel that Forge Guns are alright just now though. Proto tanks are still crazy, but using a Proto Assault FG seems to work well - mostly. The HMG is worthless. SMGs and shotguns kill faster at close range, and ARs, RRs and CRs have medium range. So where does that leave the HMG?

Apparently I've had bad luck killing HAVs with my forge. Can't seem to catch one without a militia overdrive and hardeners stuck in cool down.

But yeah, the HMG has been relegated to a really weak high rate of fire SMG with the spread of a shotgun.

So why is it I'm constantly running with Logi and Heavy combos that walk through anything? I'm sorry if my ignorance came off dismissive, but I thought everyone did this and only when Heavies ran did they then run into the problems they now face. The HMG is weak though, but have you guys tried Sharpshooter and Proficiency? That may help somewhat. It certainly increased the range on my AR.
