Magpie Raven ZionTCD 397	Posted - 2014.04.02 19:36:00 - [1] - Quote Please don't do it. Why would you finally put the heavy suit in a good position just to club it over the head with the nerf hammer? If heavies needed nerfing the forums would be lit up with complaints about it. But Its not. Maybe tweak a few things but dont nerf it. Ive seen good cases made for increasing Caldari Shield and decreasing armor and vice versa with gallente. That I could live with. But not the flat 20% HP nerf ive been hearing about
Bethhy Ancient Exiles. Dirt Nap Squad. 1634	Posted - 2014.04.02 19:42:00 - [2] - Quote Suit is completely fine... The Heavy Suits are what EVERYONE asked for. The HMG has crazy damage potential.. If anything its that as the issue. (But frankly don't need a balance until more Heavy racial variant weapons come out, would be a waste of time otherwise imo) Heavy suits and health values are just gorgeous.. and a step in the right direction.
Tek Hound Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 201	Posted - 2014.04.02 19:44:00 - [3] - Quote You have to understand majority of dust players are bad and cant adapt.They only know pew pew and anything that requires tactics to beat is op.If you want to stay safe get a assault suit, rail rifle and QQ on the boards when you lose.
buzzzzzzz killllllllll TRA1LBLAZERS 401	Posted - 2014.04.02 19:44:00 - [4] - Quote But they accidentally fixed the heavy suit and even made it balanced, so they have to nerf it now. Dedicated heavy through the hard times, still supporter of A FULL 1.8 respec and MOAR HEAVY WEAPONS!
Lance 2ballzStrong SyNergy Gaming EoN. 4810	Posted - 2014.04.02 19:51:00 - [5] - Quote Haven't seen many "nerf heavy" threads tbh... but I don't come here everyday so I might have missed them. If heavies were OP, you'll see the whole front page of people complaining. Since they're not that OP, which doesn't induce butthurt QQ, i won't expect a nerf.

Now i am afraid to spend any of my 11 million unalocatted sp because of a possible nerf to heavy suits so im still using my free dren bpo. This only happens in CCP world Scouts are the actual isuue right now, not heavies thats imho but i might be bissed since i like to play a heavy

Rusty Shallows 1372	Posted - 2014.04.02 20:23:00 - [10] - Quote When armor plates got their buff we were told not to panic but they were considering putting a penalty for using shield mods. We all know how that turned out. We have been warned so people are better off planning accordingly. The question at this point is will it be the original -20% value the in-house play-testing found, the -5% that was said in a post reply buried here in General Discussions, or some number in-between. My original plan was to wait a week or two after Uprising 1.8 and make careful SP expenditures. After the hotfix warning (many thanks for that information) I decided to hold until things become clearer. So far the only ramifications have been my Main isn't as fun to play with this cloud above him and my Minja/Combat Engineer ALTs are actually very enjoyable now. It looks like O'Dell was right. You can't nerf high SP vets or in my case three accounts with about 58 million SP between them. Forums > Game: So here is a cookie and a Like. Please keep posting.

Vinny Gar grief thief 6	Posted - 2014.04.02 20:34:00 - [11] - Quote I'm not very great at this game, but heavy suits seem to be alright from what I can tell. I can't say how things are balanced on the highly competitive end of the game though. cosbyness is next to godliness

But not the flat 20% HP nerf ive been hearing about The HMG is a little too good though. Maybe you are right. However Outside of 30m I tend to get messed up pretty good by just about any other gun. For the first time since Replication. (I think thats what it waas called) The heavy suit is actually effective and feared. For once it can actually be a "heavy". I think the HMG is perfectly fine the way it is. If it was OP there would be more complaints on the forums. But I could live with a little tweak. People are just butthurt that it didnt get nerfed along with all the other rifles. Maybe its slightly too effective but its not outright OP
Eko Sol Strange Playings 139	Posted - 2014.04.02 20:58:00 - [15] - Quote Here is the thing. I'm going 10/x with better than a 1.0 K/D in ambush fairly often unless I'm getting stomped. This is in a Min basic heavy with a Magsec, two enhanced side arm damage mods, and a mlt armor repair. I'm sooooo torn on whether heavies need any changes at all. A part of me fills that there are some balance issues but I'm afraid of the nerf hammer CCP has. If they do anything to nerf heavies then heavies are going to be useless. All of this being said, there was NOTHING wrong with heavies before 1.8. They have received a much larger advantage given the change in weapon damage. They have too easy an ability to turn around with a HMG and mow down someone who empties a clip and half of an ARR. I'm open to hear peoples suggestion but not sure it is needed right now. Especially more than some other things like the magsec being OP.

But not the flat 20% HP nerf ive been hearing about As a healer logi I find this nerf beyond wrong. I see heavies go down in seconds even if im healing them with a core focused tool. This nerf is not right. Heavies are defensive soldiers who need all the armor and resistance they can get there hands on.

Still, as powerful as Sentinel feels in this build, it still dies to rifles at range and to Shotty Scout suits up close (provided they get the drop on you). And that's balance in my book. Honestly, this game is feeling pretty damn great right now if you can look past the dozens of wonky bugs. Assaults, Flaylock, PLC need some love. But beside that, just about everything is feeling pretty good. I used to own the FAT GAT until this --> [ASCII Art removed - *draconian forum overlord* CCP Logibro]

Racro 01 Arifistan 501st Knights of Leanbox INTERGALACTIC WARPIGS 261	Posted - 2014.04.02 23:49:00 - [22] - Quote why dont heavys look on teh brightside of life? they may be loseing base ehp (dosnt make of for much anyway) but they will still have close to 2-3 times the base hp of a medium frame.. but that sentinal bonus almost virtually doubles your hp. (against respective damge types anyways). what i think ccp should do is leave the base heavy frame alone (lets face it this is rare to be used) slightly nerf the sentinel suits hp (come on this thing has a resistence bonus) then hevays get the choice of pure raw HP, specific damage type resistence. or the trollmandos with 2 light wepaons. *Elite Gallenten Soldier*

We're simply keeping an eye on it at the moment but wanted to let players know that it was a possibility. This is soooo much better. Cause now those that ~~stupidly~~ optimistically put SP into a Heavy - of any race - can spend ISK/SP and then get Nerf Hammered at some later, unannounced date. How very Wang of you. Until CCP/Shanghai states, in writing, on these forums that there will be no Nerf Hammer of the Heavy suits I am not spending ISK/SP/AUR/LP or effort on Heavies. Because if you do Nerf Hammer them, which 99% of the Mercs think you will, CCP/Shanghai will refuse to refund anything at all. BTW, it is 0700 and I have 8 Mercs in my five chats. A distinct drop since the hot fix went live. One might wonder if they are connected? Not me though. I am not wondering at all. Welcome to Dust And so it goes.

Piraten Hovnoret Molon Labe. General Tso's Alliance 452	Posted - 2014.04.03 07:21:00 - [30] - Quote Actually the heavy and the scouts are mostley fine. They are kind of the nemesis of one and other Scouts try to backstab the heavies not taking them head on. Al that hp is nothing if the scout gets close. The problem is not the heavies or the scouts it's that the medframes are in a bad spot atm. One thing that actually can balance the scout out a bit is that they have a higher penalty for stacking armor and shield So shield staking gives you a higher scan profile Armour gives you lover speed ( higher penalty than on other suits ) Regards War never changes

I find the basic frame much better than the sentinel because the extra .15m/s is quite noticeable and helpful. Why not translate this speed because 4.05 movement is lacking when considering the relatively small HP of the min. G0DS AM0NG MEN Director 1.8 is going to be Heavy 514 they said...

Well, I sure hope you're tallying how many times BASIC heavy machine guns mow down PROTOTYPE logistic and/or assault suits at a range greater than twenty meters. At the same time, I guess logibro's April Fools' joke may not have been a joke after all - - Large Blaster Turret being the code word for HMG.

Not a good state of affairs. But holding onto your SP for the moment is right I would say - just means you don't get to enjoy the new content with others at release :( Also means CCP can't get complete feedback figures after release as to how well a suit or style is doing, because they suggested a big nerf and stopped people speccing into something.

People are used to the old days when they could just run up on one of us heavies with their (insert choice of rifle here) dance around a little bit, outgun our (insert choice of HMG here), melt our shields AND our armor in a matter of seconds, and drop us like a sack of potatoes. Meanwhile, we're left in a heap on the floor hitting the logibro call button for help as they move on to the next engagement. Then after the match they sit around knocking back beers with their buddies and bragging about all the different ways they just completely wreck the big dumb lummoxes dubbed "heavies". Well now that we're somewhat fixed and actually able to fulfill our intended role (no longer just "heavies" in name only) suddenly those beers aren't as tasty, and they can't understand why they aren't able to tell as many "I totally wrecked this heavy..." war stories.

No real logical reason for why they physically cannot use light weapons, perhaps just slap on a fitting penalty for not using your role a intended. Lorewise you could say The suit was designed for heavy weapons use when its Primary Weapon platform is selected, tending to overcompensate with light weapons, thus making light weapons more difficult to operate.

We're simply keeping an eye on it at the moment but wanted to let players know that it was a possibility. Which one has the least possibility of getting nerfed, the scout or the heavy? Since 1.8 i have not skilled i to any suits because of fear of getting nerfed. I dont want to skilled into something that is over powered but i also do not want to skilled into something based on what the specs are now and later they get changed and we do not get a sp refund! For example, i agree with the damage mods change (nerf) but the right thing to do was to refund the players their SP and let them decide if they still want to skill in dmg mods based on the new specs. Same thing with profeciency. What is so difficult to refund those skills? What CCP does is not right! Yes CCP owns the game and they have the right to do what they want, but it still does not make it right!

Still, as powerful as Sentinel feels in this build, it still dies to rifles at range and to Shotty Scout suits up close (provided they get the drop on you). And that's balance in my book. Honestly, this game is feeling pretty damn great right now if you can look past the dozens of wonky bugs. Assaults, Flaylock, PLC need some love. But beside that, just about everything is feeling pretty good. Very well said. The game feels better than it ever has. We see some suit diversity--finally! Medium suits need some love to make them more compelling, and perhaps scouts could have some counter, but overall the game is awesome.

CCP really should extend the Academy to help new players get used to the game more and earn some SP kinda like now but 1,000 wp is not a learning curve haha. They should have a cap at more like 5k WP or even give them the option to opt out early if they want at 5k but can stay til 10k? idk an issue though if u guys want new players to buy ur AUR lol What is the use of fighting if you haven't got a tolerable planet to fight over?

All complaints solved. Removing light weapon fitting abilities from basic heavy and sentinel frames. As much as I dislike the idea, it might need to happen. However, this perposed change has a logic hole; what excuse would we have to prevent us from using light weapons? People who support this change think the exuse should be because our fingers are too fat for the trigger. If this is the reason, then we would also not have sidearms and commandos. So, what would the most logical explanation be for our abillity to weald weapons too heavy for medium frams, plus a side arm, yet can't fit a light weapon and a side arm, unless its a commando suit? No real logical reason for why they physically cannot use light weapons, perhaps just slap on a fitting penalty for not using your role a intended. Lorewise you could say The suit was designed for heavy weapons use when its Primary Weapon platform is selected, tending to overcompensate with light weapons, thus making light weapons more difficult to operate. In a similar vein, but for making it impossible to use light weapons: The power output of the Heavy weapon slot would burn out weapons not specifically designed with it in mind. i.e. it breaks your SCR focusing crystals, it burns out the rails in your rail rifle, etc etc /lore Respec in 1.8 due to huge battlefield role shift for MinLogi!

This character was considering Minmatar because of past experience (now fully negated) as a Minmatar Logi. A Minmatar Scout, Logi and Heavy seemed liked a reasonable idea. Then I looked at the miniscule EHP and with a possible Nerf Hammer instead of a Buff the suit is junk. Assault too but that was a given. The only thing the Assault has going for it is the clip size increase. Except that it only increases projectile weapon clips and with the now, overly complex, resistances why bother. Projectile is not a particularly effective weapon choice. And bonuses don't work at all until your health is back to normal. So spawning in anywhere but the ground or MCC is a death sentence. Welcome to Dust And so it goes.

The very expensive Freedom Assault finally has a little range but it is far from deadly. My alt uses them and the days when clearing a rooftop with it are just a faint memory. Of course he quit running heavies when the combat and rail rifles killed him consistently without even taking a single point of damage. He quit wasting ISK and suits. Free suits and sniper rifles worked well enough. At least HMGs are the total embarrassment they were. They are very limited use weapons however. With adequate supply depots that might be alright but supply depots are rare these days. And so it goes.
