* Improved HMG effectiveness at short/medium range.
While it was pushed back until tomorrow's downtime, lets hope CCP has made some serious changes to the way the HMG operates. I really do wish they would at least tell us what they're planning on doing, but I'm just happy they are finally doing something about it.

That what scares me the most.
NO ONE know what CCP claim to be "increase effectiveness"
'cause the last time they did that, they changed the bonus of the HMG skill, giving a direct nerf to the Breach HMG.

Probably a fix to the HMG being laser accurate.
Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

When 1.7 hit they gave HMG a slight cone of damg, so they've technically fixed the laser problem.
The damg on this spread however has not been very noticeable against shield tanked suits and can be out strafed in CQC.
The hip fire on ARs. CRs, and SR seem to have higher of hit recognition to damg ratio than HMG.
So this could be very exciting to see if this actually make Med frames afraid of running into heavies in CQC.

I would really, really appreciate it if a Dev came in and told us what the change is going to be. Smart money is on the cone of fire fix, of course, but I'll honestly take just about anything at this point.
And if this fix is good? If it makes the HMG viable again?
It would be a Christmas miracle. |

Who knows what that means... by the wording I think the person who wrote that has no idea either. Someone probably said "yo, we're making the HMG better... LOL IKR?!!!... Anyway, just post it on the forums so people can stop crying about it."
And here we are, clueless to what this "improvement" is. I hope it's a decent buff or improvement. Even though I don't play DUST again, I come here to see if there's anything done to help the heavies that still play the class. Maybe this time there might be some "THE HMG IS OP!!!!" threads, then I'll know CCP did a good job.

They didn't. Every time I've whipped out my HMG since 1.7 I've tested it, and that tiny dot needs to be on target to do damage.
Hope this is the fix we've been looking for!

Heavies will now be able to ramp hills with nitrous injectors and the HMG will fire 'D' batteries at 1200 rpm. They nerfed swarms bacause the HMG is the new AV.
Seriously?.............I wouldn't be surprised at this point. Either way, long overdue, I hope it actually brings the heavy to the forefront of point defense. |

I definitely feel you, and you're probably right Frame probably has no idea as to what they are actually changing to the HMG, and the sad part is they probably will never tell us, and we'll have to figure it out on our own.

Heh I saw this earlier today and posted this in C7 forum section but I thought the rest of us old Gloryday heavies might find this funny too.
HMG buff.
Hahaha!!! Apparently they have had technical issues and it'll be in another couple of days. I bet the issue is the server saying
"Buff the HMG???? Ahh they must mean Nerf....... No they're saying buff...... But it can't be buffed...... My nodes won't be able to take all the QQing....... I'm not going to buff it CCP........ No I'm not doing it....... You can't make me....... Fine I'll throw a spaz and shut down then!....-Tranquility offline-" or something like that!!!
But seriously nice to get a range buff since the HMG is only good from 10m to 20m really.

It's funny because in codex we also had more choices in dropsuits. We could either have the type A which was armor tanked or the type B which was pretty much the amarr frame is. Now we are stuck with the amarr frame, funny how while everyone was getting new content they actually removed content for the heavy.

Heavy is supposed to be effective all the way out to 30m but 10m is a much more accurate description.

i'm actually a scout, and i know. HMGs were a force to be feared in beta. i remember being a noob and truly fearing heavies.
but the heavies nowadays are generally stupid and just sit still while shooting expecting to be an invincible wall.
