20%?!? CCP does not seem to simply tweak but overdo every single change. I mean look how long it took to get the HMG right and it's been around for quite a while now. Please, CCP, if you want to change the HP, please go like 10% max and see how that goes rather than overdoing it.

BTW, why does CCP not have a problem with Scouts that have close to 1,000 HP but can also cloak fior further defense?

They just need to be unable to fit light weapon.

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.

Should be easy enough to code it where only H weapons fit in H slots, like the S slot does already.

I don't see why anyone would have a problem with this.

They've turned into tanks.
Extremely hard to kill unless you are a heavy as well.

The problem isn't the heavy HP, it's the HMG... I guess no one from CCP saw my post from 1.7, anyway... it's too late now and they are screwing up the heavy completely.

I don't think you've ever fought a heavy, even in militia gear I can kill a proto heavy alone! Heck, I get killed all the time by those stupid RR in a proto heavy suit. You people need to stop saying heavys are too tough. If you think they are tough, just read the name HEAVY, they are ment to be this way.

So yeah, never mind that we only have 2 Heavy Weapons to pick from, one anti-infantry and one AV, with no A-I weapons which are effective against Shields (we have t make do with Flux Grenades.) Never mind that our only AV option was nerf'd to hell to the point where Tankers slap on a Hardener and laugh at the Heavy tickling them or Dropship pilots hit orbital height before you can charge a second shot. Never mind that a Heavy is slow moving, reps slow and needs a Logi or two be effective. Never mind that the Forge Gun is bugged to the point that it won't even fire. The Heavy obviously needs to lose a huge amount of HP so the Assault players can feel better and kill them easier.

I have been waiting a year for this patch. One year so that I could play a Caldari Heavy. I have endured heavies being crappy and lackluster for forever, until today. I logged in to try the patch and actually enjoyed this game. Heavies felt powerful but slow and I died many times for reasons that made sense (being in the open, being outnumbered, being outranged, reloading, etc) and I actually turned to my wife (who gave up on DUST months ago) and said "This finally feels right, I could actually play this game. Maybe".

And then I log into the forums to post that I had fun for once and that maybe, just maybe, DUST 514 might be getting better. And then I find this thread...

F*** you. Way to hype me up and then kill it. The only thing that sucks more than this news was finding out that Oculus VR was bought by f***ing Facebook.

So if this goes through I am done. I am sick and tired of finding niche roles that aren't the cookie cutter CoD run and gun and kill everything (Assault) class only to have them nerfed into the ground because they may require some thought or effort for said CoD run and gun and kill class players to deal with.

Please. Please don't do this.

Bump for the Heavies.

I'll still stab you all anyways

In two weeks see if it is possible to OHK a Heavy with knives. It will be the greatest commentary of this game.

It would violate their PR campaign of you can be a douche bag and snipe in a tanked suit in the redline!

Also a 20% ehp debuff, that's a commando... yay now all heavies will die when someone looks at them....

Edit: This is why I took that dropsuit command refund and specced into everything caldari. Because, I like shields and without fail the light/medium/heavy triangle is always in flux.

CCP- "What!? Tanks are running ram pit and cant be killed cause their to fast and AV is practically useless to kill them? let's nerf the heavies!"

+1 OP, the heavy literally does 1 thing right now, god forbid he be good at it.
