they can use ANY weapon in the game PLUS 2 other ones?
I see posts and hear people talking about how heavies only have 2 weapons when in reality, they have EVERY weapon. and then they want more heavy weapons, which is reasonable I suppose, but those are weapons ONLY heavies will be able to use. I can see why they want them, but they shouldn't be a priority in this game. last time I recall, my scout suit can't carry a HMG, but that heavy can carry a Shotgun, Rail Rifle, or any other weapon that I can carry.
plus did anyone ever think about the fact that if there's a heavy weapon that has similar dps to the HMG but is LONG RANGE, that would be ridiculously OP? already, all 4 of the rifles are considered OP, now imagine a gun with twice the dps and even more range, and is fitted on the highest ehp suit in the game.
also, I won't say that HMGs are OP, but I will say that I find it funny that heavies want to have the most ehp in the game AND the most dps. sounds a bit greedy if you ask me, especially when there are other much more important mechanics that need fixing.
but I digress. maybe it's just me.

Not all heavies.
But seriously. This game has been 'released' for how long and their is still only 2 Heavy weapons?!
I don't think it's them being greedy. I think they just want more than 2 things to call their own.

Technically they can't just "use any weapon in the game", they have to invest the SP first.
Considering that heavy suits are the most expensive suits to invest SP in I think it is the SP thats the balancing factor.

I personally think the scout is op. If you haven't found something that you can call your own, you should grab a medium frame and join the herd. |

why do you get weapons that ONLY you can use AND weapons that everybody else can use, but we can't use heavy weapons?
as far as i see it you have no right to complain.

Dear OP,
You're aiming at the wrong target. Heavies do not want more heavy weapons at the expense of scouts. That doesn't mean heavies don't want more heavy weapons, or that heavy weapons should not be a priority. Everyone is lobbying for their own play style, but that doesn't mean we don't all want the same thing--a fun game with a lot of specialization. We're all playing a New Eden game because we love dirty cutthroat oneupsmanship--but only in the game. Out here, we're all in this together.
Sincerely,
Goric

any more dumb comments about the heavy slowest suit in the game and largest hitbox should be givens for the suit with THE MOST EHP IN THE GAME, so that's not a sacrifice. that's called fair.
even if you have the highest profile in the game, how many medium frame players do you know of that try to avoid ADV scanners? not many im willing to bet, so that point is null and void.
its also pretty fair that you have the least amount of slots in the game. you have the most ehp and the 2 strongest guns in the game. let's not forget that us SCOUTS have a fraction of your ehp, some of the least cpu in the game and some of the least slots in the game. so that statement is also pointless.
most of your statements on paper would seem reasonable, but if you actually played the game, then you would know that more than half of them are completely useless arguments.

Honestly I believe they should get rid of suit restricttions for weapons and stuff. And so far only heavies have the luxury of heavy suit only gear. |

Goric Rumis wrote:This is going to be my one and only post in response to the least productive but most vocal person in the vehicle/AV debate:
Just because you can do it, doesn't mean it's balanced.
1. Just because you can do it, doesn't mean it's balanced. I know a dropship pilot who six months ago was able to stay in the air a whole game, move troops around, get kills, and never get shot out of the sky--and I saw him do it in Planetary Conquest, Factional Warfare, and pub matches. Does that mean dropships were balanced and pilots just needed to HTFU and adapt? I don't believe that, and I don't think I've ever seen anyone claim that.
2. Just because you can do it, doesn't mean it's balanced. Balance in a role-based game is predicated on the idea that a role that is strong in one way is weak in another. Therefore the question is not whether AV are capable of destroying tanks, it's a question of what they have to give up to do it, and whether they're being proportionately compensated for their weaknesses in their area of strength. Right now, people are using militia tanks and suicide LAVs because they're able to accomplish the job better without making sacrifices. Just because they could do the job with forge guns and swarm launchers doesn't mean it's the best way to get it done--and if you can get better results without sacrificing flexibility, why wouldn't you?
3. Just because you can do it, doesn't mean it's balanced. I want to emphasize this point because you seem to be under the delusion that what is possible must be balanced. Tankers didn't believe this in 1.6, despite many of them going multiple matches without being destroyed. There are scouts who run around in ninja fits with nova knives--they get kills, therefore they are balanced? I regularly go positive on my skill-less alt with starter fits, so obviously a starter fit is just as good as a proto. There's not a problem with the matchmaking system, people just need to learn to adapt.
4. And finally: Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should. You talk about teamwork, but what you really mean is buddy-work. If I'm working on a team, and not just out to kill vehicles, I likely have a more important responsibility than chasing down tanks the whole game. Because while I'm off chasing one tank, me and my buddy are leaving the rest of the team defenseless against any other vehicle that decides to sidle up and give them hell. That's not teamwork, that's selfishness.
These are the reasons why your anecdotes and continuing posts are irrelevant. You're setting out to prove a limited point, with limited applicability, and pretending as though the results prove some universal truth.
But of course I'm doing this for the benefit of the people reading your threads, not for you yourself. You've already made up your mind, and wouldn't change it if I presented you with a thousand pages of hard, incontrovertible evidence. So to all of you who have any sense, I leave you this TL;DR:
Don't feed the troll. If you don't respond to his posts, they will just disappear into the archive. Let them.

Yes. The Heavy class can use light weapons, but if you ask me theres no point in doing so. Why would I spec into the heavy suit to use light weapons, those are for the "light" classes, which can use the weapons alot better.
I use the heavy to be able to use the heavy weapons, and have never used anything else than a heavy weapon on my heavy. I see more problems than good things with running a light weapon on a heavy (use my commando for the lights) and I belong with the HMG.
So on a side note, I would actually have no problem with making heavies only using heavy weapons, even though it would be a kind of stupid thing to do, as there would be no real reason a suit carrying a heavy weapon would not be able to carry a light weapon. But again, if the heavy class in the future would be restricted to only heavy weapons, Id be happy about it, it would make only the true heavies stay heavy while the ones running heavies with light weapons would go away. =)
And just give me the other suits and I will be happy, I have the forge and the hmg, and the hmg has awaken again and become a better weapon with the latest patch, so I will be pretty good with the new heavy suits... and the new commandos. =)
And I think the cloaking will help the scout class to become a bit more unique.... |

Considering that heavy suits are the most expensive suits to invest SP in I think it is the SP thats the balancing factor. Uhh... The SP difference is next to nothing, like it really is nothing.
The argument was valid back in Chromo, back not anymore.

See. I say "The Heavy only has two weapons." because those are the intended weapons and if I could have it my way, whenever the heavies get all of their anti-infantry weapons, I would either make it impossible to fight light weapons on OR make it less viable to put them on.
Commandos are the heavy weight light weapon users...not the Sentinels. When you can tank with 1200+ eHP and a rifle it's annoying. Furthermore, when whole squads start doing this crap in pubs because of TTK, it's damn near worth ripping my hair out. I know, HTFU or die but it doesn't make sense that a light weapon would be extremely effective for assaulting in the one suit that's designed for defense, support fire, and suppression.

Don't forget range, they need that range. I wish a medium could carry a HMG, no sprinting and 2 m/s walk. Same for scouts but they can't move at all, only face in the direction spawned. I am all for everything being able to do anything. It's more fun that way.

If you see a heavy using something other then the HMG that light weapon must be OP or they a scrub.

With the OPGÇÖs concern about balance for a long range Heavy Weapon, this seems a good place to bring up my idea for a Heavy Laser.
The idea is that instead of the gun heating up to apply more damage, the target heats up. The longer you have the laser on the target the more they heat up and the more damage they take.
Have the damage ramp up be calibrated so that Time To Kill for the Heavy Laser on Infantry is similar to the Time To Kill for an Assault Rifle.
Have the Heat Dissipation on the target not be immediate, so damage would not be reset if the Laser goes off target for a moment. But have Heat Dissipation on an Infantry suit be far faster than the Heat Dissipation on a Vehicle.
So, once the Laser has been on target for 3 seconds or so it will have ramped up to doing Vehicle level damage.
There you have it. A Heavy Weapon that is nicely balanced against both Infantry and Vehicles. The importance of the Target heating rather than the Weapon heating, is that you canGÇÖt preheat the Laser and then fry Infantry with Vehicle damage.

You're aiming at the wrong target. Heavies do not want more heavy weapons at the expense of scouts. That doesn't mean heavies don't want more heavy weapons, or that heavy weapons should not be a priority. Everyone is lobbying for their own play style, but that doesn't mean we don't all want the same thing--a fun game with a lot of specialization. We're all playing a New Eden game because we love dirty cutthroat oneupsmanship--but only in the game. Out here, we're all in this together.
Sincerely,
Goric that's not what I'm getting at. I'm saying that there are other things, such as fixing the lag, that need to remain a priority.

im trying to say that heavy weapons don't need to be a priority. I know its been a while since they added new ones, but there things like lag and the sprinting bug that need immediate attention.
I get the feeling people are getting the wrong idea about me.

I still haven't found "my" class yet--I have a blast playing as a scout on the maps that support my style, I have the as-of-now-all-but-useless medium Assault frame, and I just recently started playing around with a heavy suit. One thing that immediately stands out is the heavy's lack of a longer-range option, hence the reason why you'll see some of them run around with rifles. I haven't even unlocked the first level of the HMG skill, so I'm rolling around in my Republic HMG that I purchased from the loyalty store. Have to admit that I've swapped between the AR and RR just to see if the added range was of any benefit over the HMG, but I think I'll stick with the HMG in the long-term.

I don't think it's them being greedy. I think they just want more than 2 things to call their own. and what can I, a scout, call my own?
Speed, the lowest scan profile and soon the added bonus of a cloaking device that is pretty much designed for your suit (even though it will be usable by other class' of suits)
as for why we heavies want more weapons and the other stuff u mention. lest we forget we get no equipment slot (you do), we are the slowest class in the game (you are the quickest), have the highest scan profile (cant hide really) and we have the largest hit box in the game (compared to yours being the smallest), considering all of the things we give up, why would we be a heavy if we didnt have specialised weaponry?
specialised weapons i think is a fair trade-off for the things i list above. |

1.) they aren't terribly OP, but like the HMG, they are allowed to be powerful
2.) the sprinting bug is fixed and the lag is at least watered down.

Don't hate ya, man.
But I do disagree with your basic logic. It isn't that "it's been a while since they added new heavy weapons," it's that they HAVE NEVER added new heavy weapons.
In the mean time, they've added:
Laser Rifle Gallente Medium Frame Amarr Medium Frame Minmatar Light Frame Scrambler Rifle Flaylock Pistol Plasma Canon Combat Rifle Rail Rifle Active Scanner
GǪand Commando: a gimped, slow, medium-frame-wannabe palette swap.
CCP very clearly has had the time and the bandwidth to develop a lot of new content. But you're absolutely correct that Heavy content has not ever been a priority. With the exception of the Minmatar light frame, Scout content has not been a priority either.
What we're saying is, given everything else that's been introduced to the game, it's about damn time for it to be a priority.
And with a bit of luck, 1.8 will be it.

I don't think you understand how software is developed. The team that works on netcode is not the one working on dropsuits, or weapons, or map design, or audio, or anything else.
Stopping work on the other things and putting all those people on the netcode would not mean that it gets done faster. In truth it would stop progress for at least a short while as the new members would have to be brought up to speed, and learn the ins and outs of that particular section of code.
It is not as simple as doubling the staff to double productivity. Especially in the short term, which is when you are demanding your changes.

You haven't even considered this could be a pulse laser. If it is then the same laser characteristics could apply to it in the same way they do the Laser Rifle.

any more dumb comments about the heavy slowest suit in the game and largest hitbox should be givens for the suit with THE MOST EHP IN THE GAME, so that's not a sacrifice. that's called fair. even if you have the highest profile in the game, how many medium frame players do you know of that try to avoid ADV scanners? not many im willing to bet, so that point is null and void. its also pretty fair that you have the least amount of slots in the game. you have the most ehp and the 2 strongest guns in the game. let's not forget that us SCOUTS have a fraction of your ehp, some of the least cpu in the game and some of the least slots in the game. so that statement is also pointless. most of your statements on paper would seem reasonable, but if you actually played the game, then you would know that more than half of them are completely useless arguments. So by your logic it makes scence that they have less weapons just because you have less health and low slot count. All of this makes scence. A light frame is supposed to be made of paper. It is not meant for open combat. So stop being stupid both suits need some love from CCP. So don't bash each other.

There have been improvements in that time.
It used to be a lot worse.
Just because it isn't as fast as you like it doesn't mean they are not working on it as fast as they can.
CCP isn't a good development house, expecting them to produce high quality coding is a poor decision on your part.

Heavies need Gallente and Amarr heavy weapons. I'd say a Gallente weapon would work something like the Gallente blaster AR, but fire bigger projectiles, much slower than the HMG, but dealing similar DPS. Then the Amarr would have a wide-beam laser cannon that would work something like the laser rifle, only higher damage, but a much faster overheat, and sound way cooler. .. Or something.
But honestly, I don't see us getting any new weapons for at least 5 or 6 months, and even that is doubtful. |

Dude, do you know how ridiculous it would look for a scout to run around with heavy weapons. Heck, I'm just surprised they can lift up the Plasma Cannon and Swarm Launcher.

It's funny because the reason why heavies can carry heavy weapons is because they are heavy. If a medium suit tried to fire these weapons it would tear their arms apart or melt the armor on the suit. Just like if a regular human picked up any light weapon and fired it it would either shock them to death, melt their arms, catch them on fire, or just straight up teat their arms of

So... is this a complaint about heavies wanting to have more than 1 heavy AI gun? You think it's too much to ask that after 2 years we want more than 2 weapons and 1 racial suit?
Pardon me being rude, but **** off.

I don't think it's them being greedy. I think they just want more than 2 things to call their own. and what can I, a scout, call my own? I personally think the scout is op. If you haven't found something that you can call your own, you should grab a medium frame and join the herd.
Guys he must mean the scout is - Overtly Pretty? or maybe he is referring to the Original Poster?

The commando is a huge waste of isk. Even the commandos I know in commando channels keep saying how they cannot making any isk running them. And the basic commando is just lol worthy. |

I've seen a heavy (Sentinal) guarding an objective with a shotgun. Kind of makes sense if he hasn't unlocked HMGs yet or has a Commando outfit that he normally uses.
=][=
I'd like to see the old swarms as a heavy variant ie 400m range, more damage. More ammo in the light weapon clips base on basic heavy level ... They should have snail clips... SAWs... An automatic shotgun etc
=][= Scouts jumping should take a much smaller percentage of stamina.
Turrent - the sound a tankers pants makes when he finds out the four swarm militia doing squats around him aren't AFK.

I'll take a stab at this.
The Sentinel suit is designed to use Heavy Weapons. Why you ask? They sacrifice equipment slots and speed, have a larger hitbox, and are far easier to detect then any other suit, not to mention has only a few slots, with 4 of them being low slots. We have VERY few options available for competent suit builds.
That is the price we pay to be specialized in said weapons. You might say high Ehp is a reasonable trade off for losing out on all the stuff i just listed. Yet Logistic suits brick tanking to almost a comparable level without losing ANY of the things a Heavy user above would lose to compensate, makes me have a very different opinion than you on feasible tradeoffs.
We sacrifice a plethora helpful stats for the sole purpose of using one of two weapons, a heavy grenade that doesn't exist, and a limited amount of useful mods to place in our 4 low slots. We have almost no possible variations on gameplay when using the intended weapons for our suit. It's either CQC or Anti Vehicle (or being bored throwing water balloons at infantry).
You think all this is perfectly fine simply because you don't enjoy playing a scout anymore because you have low ehp? After reading your thread that is your entire argument. You have low ehp, so until that gets fixed Heavys need to continue to be on the shelf thats been rotting away for 2 years. You aren't even recognizing your own strengths while inside a Scout suit. You also don't even know how the cloaking device you will be getting next patch is going to effect gameplay with your low ehp, it may prove to turn the tide in your favor. You have strange logic that i can't really seem to call anything but selfish.
On a side note, what the hell does the development team that works on latency have ANYTHING to do with the development of content? And why should the lack of competently fixing the latency interfere in any way with the development of new content for this game, be it Heavy or Scout related?
I change my opinion of you. You are ignorant and selfish.

This right here, has to be the stupidest thing I've EVER heard on this forum. I've been here since way back in closed beta when there was 1 map Skirmish 1.0... and this wins. Not even the best trolls in DUST history could beat this.
Heavies "want the highest dps and EHP"????? Ok Isaac Newton, isn't that what classifies a heavy as being, I don't know, a heavy? Having a high eHP is the very ******* definition of a "Heavy" Highest DPS you say? Well when your weapon is only optimal at 0-25m it SHOULD have a high DPS, and it's called a ------>>> HEAVY MACHINE GUN <<<------ not a Spitball Straw (though a few months ago, that's exactly what it was).
The more people play this game, is the more ridiculous the arguments get for classes that isn't theirs.

this thread has long been resolved. no need to throw insults just because you disagree with me. as i said in a previous post (if you had actually read a few pages) the lag issues need to be priority, then you can have as much heavy stuff as you want.
see? you got your panties in a bunch for nothing.

The ONLY real reason to use heavy is For the HEAVY weapons. So in practice, they do have only 2 weapons.
any other weapon will be better used by a Med frame.

They can. But no one except HMG lovers or Forge gun AVers will say: ''Oh yeah! im gonna Go Sentinel proto to use this Shotgun/AR/RR,etc...''
Why? Because even if HP is very nice (Not very far from what logis can achieve thou): Lack of mobility,lack of equipment slots and huge Hitbox are not. So anyone thinking in the competitive side of dust will prefer a faster , more adaptable suit.
I HONESTLY dont know ANYONE who got into Sentinels to use anything but a Heavy weapon. I might be wrong, but i stand by my opinion.

what are you getting so upset about? i'm HAPPY for heavies getting new stuff, and again, if you read, someone already said the content development team isn't the same as the netcode team.

When the HMG was beast,i never saw a SINGLE Heavy with a light weapon.
So its not that players thought: ''Yeah, my fit will be a HEAVY with SHOTGUN''
Its that players think: ''I cant kill sh!t with Heavy weapons and i dont have many options, better try and equip a light one to be SOMEWHAT competitive.''
