Apison Valusgeffen THIRD EARTH INCORPORATED Dark Taboo 13	Posted - 2014.01.01 16:44:00 - [1] - Quote I should post this question on the Feedback/Requests channel, but I see no indication that that stuff is read or even looked at, so I'll post it here. Devs... players... passers by rubber necking at this train wreck... ANYONE, have any inkling when the HMG will be fixed??!!?? The 2 NEW rifles have made the OLD (and STILL broken) HMG even more of a joke! I find myself less and less drawn to this game and the Heavy class into which I specced. But what should I do, spin the roulette wheel and see which class it lands on to spec into next, only to have that class nerfed into obsolescence with the next update (nod to you AV'ers at the moment). It's truly a crap shoot which class will get hit next, and that's a gamble I'd rather not take. No, I'd rather enjoy the class that drew me to the game... the class (and weapon) into which I've invested millions of SP. (Removes reading glasses, closes rant notes folder, and quietly steps away from the podium.) So with that said, anyone have any indication... any word at all on HMG repairs, or new heavy suits for that matter? (Don't even want to look at the rant folder on that subject right now!)

When i see a heavy in CQC i have to run. I know he'll win. So i just run away. Minmatar Assault. Confused on what weapons i should use :/

What are you talking about? I love the HMG the way it is now. If it got any more buffs I would be nervous about getting nerfed into oblivion again. (If you are on an open map use the Assault HMG.) I am really looking forward to getting more Heavy Suits though. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else, there is the Learning Coalition.

The HMG is a minmatar weapon and is designed for close range combat, the amarr heavy just doesn't have the speed to make it effective. I'm sure that a fast minmatar heavy will make the weapon at least decent. Lack of content makes stuff broken... Tank driver // specialized tank destroyer

Ok. Well maybe I'll give it another go now that I have more time. Like I said, I haven't run heavy in a while. I've been running other suits that I'm minimally specced into and frankly don't enjoy as much. I could be wrong about the HMG in its current state, I'm not afraid to admit that. I'm not infallible. But the last time I ran my heavy/HMG substantially, it just became a frustrating waste of time and ISK.

Huge pools of HP, and they tweaked the HMG so that it actually works now. Boundless HMG's kill everything instantly. Burst HMG's can fricken two shot you. (two bursts). And my standard HMG/heavy suit just wrecks 70% of everything I come across in close quarters. (Advanced suits and lower) If I get behind a proto suit and unload there very beatable too. In my honest opinion heavies are working as intended right now. Marston VC, STB Director

Thing is beastly now, easily the best weapon inside that range. As a scout I actually fear heavies now 1v1, I have to throw an RE to have a chance unless I take them by surprise.

I only switch to my HMG heavy suit in very few situations where yes its great. However in pub matches with huge open spaces and the ridiculous range of the rifles it is outgunned. I can 1 v 1 most heavies in their optimal range and can run away if needed or throw down a repair hive. The heavy HMG may be great in cqc but in all other encounters he is toast. Why in the world does the HMG not have some range like in chromosome? Let's make all assault rifles ineffective at close quarters for CCP balance. The bullets just magically do nothing from 0-45 meters. cause that's what everyone wants is the heavy to be a hallway camper. rifles are much more effective than HMG in 98% of engagements.

Yes, as I stated before I haven't bothered to pull out the heavy enough to gauge the difference. So this was again a partially uninformed post (as I see now) based on the results I got from my initial experiences against the new rifles. Again, my mistake. I'm going to try to get back into the heavy groove to truly see what the "refurbish" is like.

Is this not true of every single weapon in the game outside of the 4 rifles? They all pale in comparison. HMG is the best weapon in it's range. Sure it is not as useful in all situations as the rifles but it is in a nice place. The rifles are either OP or all other weapons are UP.

Two words, my disgruntled fellow fattie: Battle Segway. It's a beautiful thing. That said, I know you've long campaigned for the HMG to get more range. Chromosome was fattie heaven, but it seems CCP just really does not want the HMG to be as good as it once was at mid range. Instead they gave us a monstrous toe-to-toe meat mulcher. I know it isn't what the long-time heavy players fought for, but at least the thing has a niche it can completely dominate now. ¶Gêƒ__ Gò« Gû¿GûêGûêGûêGòáGëíGëíGëíGû¬ « GÇó GÇó GÇó GÇó GÇó GÇó GÇó GåÆFAT GATGåÉ pÇûGûôGûôGûôGûæGûæGûæGûæGûæGûæGûæpÇùForum Warrior LV 1 (NEXT: 300/1000XP) ¯Gò¦pÇôpÇù

So far things that have killed me: range, an RE that I accidentally shot as a scout threw it at me(damn you shiny object chasing part of my brain!) and one shotgun scout who snuck up on me and put three(or maybe 4? dunno, was kind of trying to kill his friends before I died got 3 of 5 under concentrated fire. I'll just take that as a net win.) If you hear the words "WORTH IT!" look about, something hilarious just happened.

Devs... players... passers by rubber necking at this train wreck... ANYONE, have any inkling when the HMG will be fixed??!!?? The 2 NEW rifles have made the OLD (and STILL broken) HMG even more of a joke! I find myself less and less drawn to this game and the Heavy class into which I specced. But what should I do, spin the roulette wheel and see which class it lands on to spec into next, only to have that class nerfed into obsolescence with the next update (nod to you AV'ers at the moment). It's truly a crap shoot which class will get hit next, and that's a gamble I'd rather not take. No, I'd rather enjoy the class that drew me to the game... the class (and weapon) into which I've invested millions of SP. (Removes reading glasses, closes rant notes folder, and quietly steps away from the podium.) So with that said, anyone have any indication... any word at all on HMG repairs, or new heavy suits for that matter? (Don't even want to look at the rant folder on that subject right now!) Insert logi and hug those corners. I have an Adv basic heavy with enhanced armor plates and dmg mods and with the right moves I drag down between 20-35 kills a game...

Guess I'm a scrub because a Gali Assault killed me twice . I couldn't believe it the first time so I tried it again and the same result . I can agree with the OP . Say what you will about getting good and all but they need to fine tune it more . There should be NO and I mean NO AR that should be able to stand toe to toe with a HMG . This guy didn't even reload so it might have been a modded controller . " BANE " of ALL vehicle users , Crush , Kill and Destroy ALL vehicles !!!!!

Yes, but when did this happen? I've seen no fixes on this. I haven't been on this game as much during the holidays (combination of busy-ness and plain old apathy with the game) and when I was on I didn't even waste my time pulling out the heavy suit much. The last time I ran heavy for any substantial period of time, it was all combat and rail rifles making short work of EVERYTHING! Okay, he simply hasn't tried out the new HMG. Faith Restored. But seriously, they fixed the HMG dude. Most hated person since Lueko and Checkmate

Seriously though, the HMG is in a dmn fine place right now, and if you can't kill with it you need a new suit. You and Primium went fcking ham earlier today. That is, until everyone pulled out Rail Rifles But still, that match made me glad to be a logi. Most hated person since Lueko and Checkmate
