With the Uprising 1.8 Deployment, we are also looking at some additional hotfixes in the near future.

Caldari Scout CK.0 and Caldari 'Neo' Scout CK.0 have switched skill requirements.
Further internal playtesting has shown that the heavy EHP is too high, and it will be lowered (likely by about 20%, but this is to be confirmed).

This thread will be updated with more hotfixes as they are created.

How is heavy EHP too high?? We are not medium suits we are heavy suits. We are not invincible either, Ive been getting melted all day. You give me resistances and then you take away EHP. Might as well not given the resistances at all .

20% EHP debuff??? I really don't know anymore what CCP is trying to achieve with the heavy. You want us to be medium suits?? is that it? Out of everything in the game, this is what gets the most attention from CCP? heavies being a bit difficult to kill?

I am really losing it here. I have tried so hard to keep my hopes up but this is going too far. A heavy with too much EHP!!!! I would have never thought. Please CCP play in the wild not internal playtesting. Internal playtesting was what had you nerf the mass driver to the ground and got the community so angry that they made a threadnaught. Or have you forgotten how that went?

Seriously a heavy with too much EHP, as if they where difficult to kill at all. I was hoping that maybe tank spam would be a more serious issue to beaddressed but, apparently heavies that are slow and easy target from afar are ruining dust. I am sorry if this sounds like a rant but it is. With so many obvious problems that you let ride for months from 1.7, you want to kill the heavy class in 1.8 before it even gets started.... RLLY???

We should have some counsil that could communicate with CCP and the community. I feel if they would work with us we could get some major issues addressed.

Heavies are good where they are, havent seen an outrageously op heavy yet, no heavy that i fought has had over 1100 armor, or in caldari case, over 800 shields

So i say boo for Nerfs

Ghaz ... they probably did that to keep the number of heavies down and it becoming the FOTY . I have seen far more heavies then ever and I'm sure with the tempo and info CCP understood that so changing a few things for them was kind of necessary , to even out the roles and the game so it wouldn't be over saturated with heavies .

You are class act and any info coming from yourself and " The Judge " is valued .

Keep up the good work .

Heavies I respect you a great deal because I am one of you , sometimes but that better than not at all .

It's going to work out in the long run .

While I always thought heavies would need some adjustment to keep from being OP in 1.8, this is just a classic CCP hamfisted solution.

I would much rather see them take away the +5%/level blast damage reduction than blanket reduce HP. (That way we keep the Grenade/RE hard counter to heavies.)

The HP nerf is going to hurt Minmatar heavies the most, and they're the weakest heavy frame.

Furthermore, their internal playtesting has already broken the mass driver because it did not resemble the way it worked in the wild. Now the sentinel will be broken too because of the same mistake.

PLEASE CCP don't make the same mistake again

I'm grateful we have a reason why. Far better than the random acts of God we are used to. Or worse simply nerfing because of Forum Metagaming.

Internal playtesting is not a reason why though. I thought that CCP would have learned this from the ridiculous MD nerf.

I have no idea what logibro is talking about I can take down heavy's just fine. Lowering their HP will only make scouts op and IF YOU DARE MESS WITH MY SCOUT WELL ... ILL DO STUFF. so just don't okay just don't...
