TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 833	Posted - 2014.03.01 18:38:00 - [1] - Quote Lot's of post moaning on heavies and to be fair It has been pretty crap getting Heavy spammed in CQC I don't mind the difficulty of taking on a heavy, it's fun The issue is when I flank and attack him, using anything other than RE is suicide Because the buff to Heavy turn speed was completely unnecessary, they are Heavy! Heavys can turn around way to fast atm and it makes it too easy for AR use.. The HMG accuracy would actually benefit from it being slower so.... What do you think ?

Asher Night Dark Tengu 490	Posted - 2014.03.01 19:15:00 - [9] - Quote I agree. It is not that I want to kill heavies everytime I meet them but it's clear that when a heavy wipes me out with an HMG or Rifle after I get them to within a centimeter of death, it isn't always talent. There are only a few ways to kill a heavy if you aren't a heavy, and they aren't talent required. It's just chance. What makes it worse is the HMG has so much range for the damage it does. I keep seeing heavies in LAVs drive a good bit past me, jump out, and open fire from their HMG at 30+ meters away. They have so much HP and ammo that they can kill you from such a distance before you can take them out. Plus if they get low on HP, they just jump in their LAVs and drive away like scrubs. The HMG needs a range nerf, and their turn speed needs to be just a bit lower. Yeah, I said it. 100% Tactical Scout Corporation

Funkmaster Whale 0uter.Heaven 1434	Posted - 2014.03.01 19:22:00 - [12] - Quote So let me get this straight, you're complaining about Heavies being too good at CQC, the absolute one place a Heavy is and should be most effective? Heavies are still crap, but at least now they can output the same DPS as the OP CR/RR in CQC. At range, they still drop like flies. Let me play you the song of my people!

It doesn't really fix the issue and only makes players even more frustrated with the already abysmal controls in this game. What would be better I think is if Heavies were less vulnerable at the front and more vulnerable at the back. Meaning a Shotgun to the back against a Heavy would be lethal, while an attack to their front would do far less. This would give Heavies a decent offensive role as far as advancing and pushing the line, but the drawback would be increased vulnerability to being flanked. Let me play you the song of my people!

I was in an abandoned part of the map so I doubt someone else was shooting at me. As it stands now the only drawback to being a heavy is you move slower, but with LAVs it doesn't even matter. If you play the role of point defense, it matters even less. I want heavies in the game, I want them to ne a challenge, but right now they are challenging in the way that a baby fighting Mike Tyson is challenging. 100% Tactical Scout Corporation

Stay outside his reticle of death and you can survive most encounters. Even on my min assault I see no problem with current heavy stats. I do rage from time to time when I get clipped by a RR from 60m by a heavy, but I'd rather players have the freedom of suit options than restrict a class to simply one class of weapons. I agree with you on most things you post, but have to disagree with you here man. The only way I could agree to a slower turn radius would be as a stacking penalty for heavies stacking armor. Like 3/5/10% reduction to turn radius for basic/adv/complex plates. Pro-fit Prophet "Gimme yo lunch money"

Simply make it a bit more detrimental to stack HP. Also, Funkmaster might be onto something...weak spots on a heavy could be interesting.... you know plates already affect turn speed right?

That's the truth, and if you still want to win a close combat battle with a heavy/hmg, then its up to you to change your playstyle and not start calling a weapon thats finally changed into something useful a op weapon and point towards a nerf. You are supposed to get torn apart if you face a heavy straight on with a assault rifle or other range effective weapons, just as a heavy is supposed to loose pretty easy out in the open... and don't tell me you are being killed easily by a heavy out in the open because... well...

You literally sound like an insane old person with vertigo. Alright a full quote just for you :3 The ONLY way a hmg will kill at anything farther then 20 meteres is: A) you are crouched thus exposing you to their in optimal gunfire while you are out of yours B) they are a scout at 20+ meters A can be possible but you will usually die first at 30 meters you would need both A and B and if they are using anything but a shot gun you WILL die first Thanks CCP for making the HMG Heavy viable again :3 That's no excuse to slack off on releasing a heavy laser though =.=

They are very slow already, however. Maybe it should be related to their weapon. Like heavy weapons having a penalty to turn speed. Having 1100+ ehp should be fine according to those FotM spamming PC-farming protoscrubs (or at the very least, they should be the last people to whine about it), so turn speed should be fine when they have a light weapon or sidearm equipped.

Heavies are finally in their spot, hmgs are finally viable and chew **** up - yet screams of "that lav scrub tactic is dumb" how else are they going to get around? "I shouldnt die at 30 meters to a hmg" would you rather die at 82 meters if he was carrying a rail? I run scout, I have no trouble with heavies, if I die its because of a mistake I made or not checking my surroundings first. Live by honor, kill by stealth.

It is not that I want to kill heavies everytime I meet them but it's clear that when a heavy wipes me out with an HMG or Rifle after I get them to within a centimeter of death, it isn't always talent. There are only a few ways to kill a heavy if you aren't a heavy, and they aren't talent required. It's just chance. What makes it worse is the HMG has so much range for the damage it does. I keep seeing heavies in LAVs drive a good bit past me, jump out, and open fire from their HMG at 30+ meters away. They have so much HP and ammo that they can kill you from such a distance before you can take them out. Plus if they get low on HP, they just jump in their LAVs and drive away like scrubs. The HMG needs a range nerf, and their turn speed needs to be just a bit lower. Yeah, I said it. you are aware that the optimal for a HMG is 20 meters right? and yes there needs to be an exit/entrance animation for vehicles and yes the turn speed could be a bit slower I'm fine with 20m but I definitely got wiped out from 32 meters last night by some Heavy driving around in a LAV. I was in an abandoned part of the map so I doubt someone else was shooting at me. As it stands now the only drawback to being a heavy is you move slower, but with LAVs it doesn't even matter. If you play the role of point defense, it matters even less. I want heavies in the game, I want them to ne a challenge, but right now they are challenging in the way that a baby fighting Mike Tyson is challenging. Was he perhaps using an Assault HMG? The Assault HMG is closer to the Assault Rifle in Damage and Rang. Meaning it does less damage, but has more range. Fox Gaden: DUST Wall of Fame, 2014

Don't quote me if you're going to conveniently cut out everything so you can make an asinine, strawman argument. You're defending the HMG - a high ammo, high damage weapon - being able to kill someone from 30+ meters away, very quickly. You're the one being crazy. No one is even talking about 1.8 in this topic yet. You brought up a topic no one mentioned and then bitched about people complaining about it. You literally sound like an insane old person with vertigo. Alright a full quote just for you :3 The ONLY way a hmg will kill at anything farther then 20 meteres is: A) you are crouched thus exposing you to their in optimal gunfire while you are out of yours B) they are a scout at 20+ meters A can be possible but you will usually die first at 30 meters you would need both A and B and if they are using anything but a shot gun you WILL die first Or C) it is an Assault HMG and sacrifices high CQC damage in order to get a bit more range. They are used sometimes on more open maps. Fox Gaden: DUST Wall of Fame, 2014

Stop being so bias and check yourselves. Was in support for heavy balance back before they got their sets of buff and I'm still in favor of balance :I. Well there is a lot of misinformation going around. - HMG Heavies turn too fast because a Heavy with a Scrambler rifle tuned and killed a guy. - HMGGÇÖs have too much range because someone was killed with an Assault HMG at 30m. (Assault HMGGÇÖs are only good at 30m. They sort of suck in CQC.) - Then there are scouts saying that they have no chance in CQC with a heavy, when I know dam well that most Scouts and some Assaults can orbit me at close range faster than I can turn. Is this guy brick tanking his Scout suit or something? It is like saying Medium frame suits are OP because one killed me at 5 m with a Shotgun and another killed me at 60 m with a Rail Rifle.

The nerf to heavy turn speed It was at least 50% of the reason playing heavy sucked for as long as it did after coming out of beta (the other 50% was HMG bullet dispersion). It was like this before, and there was no good reason for it. Just cause I'm a fat bastard doesn't mean I shouldn't be be able to freakin' pivot like the rest of you. Besides, things are gonna get a hell of a lot worse for heavies, with cloaks just around the corner -- you're already gaining a hell of an advantage. Your gonna be almost invisible, and I'm not gonna be able to turn quick enough to defend myself? No. Funkmaster Whale wrote: Limiting turn speed is a silly way to balance things. It doesn't really fix the issue and only makes players even more frustrated with the already abysmal controls in this game. What would be better I think is if Heavies were less vulnerable at the front and more vulnerable at the back. Meaning a Shotgun to the back against a Heavy would be lethal, while an attack to their front would do far less. This would give Heavies a decent offensive role as far as advancing and pushing the line, but the drawback would be increased vulnerability to being flanked. I'd actually be down for this, but I'd like to see how cloaks play out first. You know they are gonna be OP as ***, because everything CCP releases for the first time is OP (except the plasma cannon, for whatever reason). A good scout can already put me down in 2-3 shotgun blasts, and I foresee this getting worse when cloaking becomes available. Min Logi \| aka Punch R0ckgroin*, Fatsuit
Fox Gaden Immortal Guides 2681	Posted - 2014.03.01 23:41:00 - [46] - Quote Now, one thing that has not been mentioned in this thread, but does make HMG heavies very frustrating to deal with is the Sloth effect. The Sloth effect was added when we had poor hit detection. When you get hit by a bullet it slows you down. When you get hit by a weapon with a high rate of fire such as an HMG, Combat Rifle, or SMG it slows you down to about 50% of walking speed. So when you are being hit you canGÇÖt get to cover because you are slowed down. The Sloth effect needs to be removed from the game, or toned down. It is one of the most frustrating mechanics in the game! The effect has been there for a long time, but before hit detection was fixed you usually were not getting hit by enough bullets to get slowed down too much. It was more noticeable after hit detection was fixed. It became unbearably annoying when the Combat Rifle was added to the game and the HMG was fixed. If you have not noticed it, pay attention to how fast you move when you are getting hit. I fully support removing the Sloth effect. It is not needed anymore and is extremely frustrating.

Duran Lex Fraternity of St. Venefice Amarr Empire 544	Posted - 2014.03.02 14:05:00 - [60] - Quote Well just to get one thing clear, although the suit itself has the exact same turn speed of a Light or Medium suit, the speed penalty on armor plates also reduces turning speed. Then there's the HMG itself, which turns slower then their light weapon counterparts. So it's safe to assume that most encounters with a Heavy using an HMG, they already turning slower then you. The HMG optimal range is 20m. The Assault HMG's optimal is around 30m, at the cost of losing some CQC effectiveness. If you get dominated at 30m by an HMG, chances are it is a Freedom Assault HMG (the Proto version) using a Complex damage modifier or two. The Freedom is the only decent weapon of that variant. Shotguns can absolutely destroy a Heavy suit if you initate the attack from behind or flanking, the former giving the best odds for success. But the problem is that this is a coin toss on whether or not hit detection will be in your favor. The shotgun STILL has the hit detection issues it's had for almost an entire year, albeit slightly better then it used to be. I've been downed many times in 2 shotgun rounds, as well has survived many times from a whole clip being shot at me. Using Nova Knives in their current form against a heavy suit is simply foolish and you should not expect a success to begin with. Until NK's have a faster way to deliver charged attacks, it's as i already stated, a fools gambit. If you stay at 40+ meters from an Heavy using an HMG, you have the advantage with any weapon able to fire effectively in that 40+ meters. How many weapons have their optimal and effective ranges 40 meters and higher? That's how many weapons you can use against the Heavy, not only effectively, but advantageously. A Heavy with an HMG can only shred you to pieces if you get close enough to let him. Of course you can't always effect the situation due to terrain, and Heavies will always try and play it smart by staying inside CQC cities, but you can't cry OP based on a suit or weapon using it's niche to it's greatest effect. Are Sniper Rilfes OP only on Manus Peak? Are HAV's OP if they stay on open ground waiting for an infantry to run the cross country mile? Are Reppers OP when they are standing behind a Heavy? Are Uplinks OP when placed near an objective? Are MD's OP when used against a cluster of people? Are Scrambler rifles OP when used against Shield tanked suits?

So instead I've been trying to suprise RE them - unfortunately that only works when the fat one comes to stop - which is usually the time they turn around. Then comes the 'Kamikaze Noob' mail. It wouldn't been a Kamikaze if you hadn't of turn Around! I have better luck just cooking a flux and using an SMG than shotgunning The Ghost of Bravo

Having a decent turn speed is needed. I remember when people use to orbit heavies, which kinda defeats the purpose of being a CQC specialist doesn't it? So what does that make the CR/NK/RE? any of the 3 should match the CQC ability of heavys.. Supposedly all rifles will be weaker 1.8 so how do you deal with heavys then?? Your all going to QQ when the only time you'l see players like me is when they cover your fat ass in Core Locus grenades/RE..... I'm pointing out it is too difficult to engage some heavys with other tactics So after 1.8 players will adapt to trolling the fat guys, so be prepared Plasma Cannon performs its suppresion/area denial role perfectly Pity dust players only perform one role - slaying

Not if the guy is infront of you, your not CQC specalists, you are short range proficient. Heavys don't engage in CQC heavies engage in suppresion and area denial, the area you deny is the area directly infront of your barrel. If you let someone through the cone of destruction that is the HMG, you should allow your friends to deal with it. Turning to try an CQC a scout is exactly what that scout wamts you to do, stop suppressing his team mates so they can shoot you, all the while your busy trying swat a fly with a chopstick, that's why you the HMG has a slower turn speed and why any weapon (excluding sidearms) equiped in a heavy should be equally slowed to the same rate. Unless your a Computer Scientist don't tell me how Game Mechanics Work. Monkey Mac - Forum Warrior of the Trees Lvl 2.

TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 878	Posted - 2014.03.03 11:39:00 - [76] - Quote damn, to be fair I am a vague and terrible poster So I usually mess up getting my point across.... If Heavies stay as they are, along with a rifle 'nerf' then Engaging them with anything other than explosive spam is suicide So if people want to keep Heavies as they are, be prepared to be spammed And so people don't jump to the conclusion of QQ this post was actually to help the fat-guys Title is misleading lol, what a d1ck Other posts actually want you to be 'nerfed' which may happen if 1.8 is heavy hell All I have mentioned is their turn speed, not their DMG output, or HP tank Make no mistake, I have L5 Explosives along with proficiency in Plasma Cannons So I do not fear the fat-guys, I can fight dirty if need be Plasma Cannon performs its suppresion/area denial role perfectly Pity dust players only perform one role - slaying
