Commander Tuna KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 102	Posted - 2014.04.29 11:20:00 - [31] - Quote Ttk doesn't exist with the hmg. Also if your having issues aiming the hmg you seriously need to take a deep long look at why you play video games. Most hilarious thread in a while.

So to recap please fix the HMG's sights so what falls into our sights can be shot and not have to wait to line a small dot on a moving target. Edit: I found a video showing what I mean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPBRYgUGBbw Bro, are you blind? Why the hell do you need a DOT to tell you where the CENTER of a circle is?? Just, what???????????????? Lol, I pissed myself laughing when this was used as an excuse in the past, and I'm doing the same now. Sorry OP, but if you're having an issue getting the center of the circle on target then you're going to have issues regardless of what shape the aiming reticle is. The HMG is in an excellent place now and the only issue I have is that when I spot a cloaked tango and start firing, the muzzle flash hides the cloaked fecker, but I'm happy with that as a balancing mechanic. You're asking for a reticle change, but if I read between the lines what I'm getting is that you want the HMG to be more of a spray and pray weapon. This is not something you're going to get much support on as the HMG is finally perfectly balanced at the moment, and anyone with an interest in overall game balance will have no interest in pushing it over the edge into a massively OP weapon. Scouts and heavies are close to perfect once the cloak gets tweaked, and once medium suits get their dose of love in the next pass, infantry options should be in the best spot since Dust first started. OP, you're going to have to stand back and take a good loo at what you're asking and admit that your issues are to do with YOUR skills rather than ingame mechanics. Sorry that the truth hurts but you'll be the better for seeing it. "Science has not yet taught us if madness is or is not the sublimity of the intelligence." -- Edgar Allan Poe

Exactly what I thought, at 1st I thought someone necro'd an old thread but nope, todays date. Haven't clicked it but if it's the video I think it is didn't CCP use that exact video as a basis for changing the dispersion? The HMG dispersion was fixed but what the OP might be having problems with is that that outside 10m you really need the center of the circle to be on the target to get decent damage, but hey, that really shouldn't be an issue.

Reign Omega BurgezzE.T.F General Tso's Alliance 383	Posted - 2014.04.29 11:30:00 - [35] - Quote Passed out, woke back up. The sights are not a problem, you're referring to the reticule, and that's not even a problem. Anything fast enough to get out of the way at most often is low health. Turn your x sensitivity up a tad. I heavy full time and rarely ever have a problem with killing and I only rarely have to pull out my boundless or six kin burst. I can use adv gear all day. Observe the public trust. Protect the innocent. Uphold the law.

These forums are full of fail and aids. Absolute bull is all I'm getting off this. Yes, heavies, and non heavies when they saw the video Ghaz sent CCP, complained about the issue. But the issue was fixed half way through 1.7 due in the main part to Ghaz, or there abouts. And as for FOTM chasers, most of the people responding here have been running heavy HMG for a long time, so ya might want to get your facts right. Us long time users are actually trying to help, maybe a bit heavy handed, but it's still help.

During these fits of absolute unconsciousness, I drank - God only knows how often or how much. As a matter of course, my enemies referred the insanity to the drink, rather than the drink to the insanity."

I actually like circle of dispersion (spraying crowds) and the single little dot (Headshots matter.) Now, the Forge Gun sights, those things suck. Gotta be the worst in the game.

And No, I'm not putting a ******* reticle sticker on my TV. I actually like the sights, and through experience, I can tell where the center. If the forge gun did have a center dot, then I think it would be a little too easy to use, and you would see far too many militia forge heavies around sniping people. I believe that is it one of the cleverest things that CCP designed...
Zahle Undt Bullet Cluster Lokun Listamenn 1442	Posted - 2014.04.29 16:35:00 - [45] - Quote LOL yeah the HMG needs to be made even easier. Can we have its effective range out to 100 M too while we're at it Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.

Anyone remember the old one where, when you went ADS, all it did was zoom in at the shoulder a little bit? I want that back. I preferred it over this "zoom onto the HMG barrel" nonsense.

His mother played Juliet in a play. His father had already died at the time IIRC, so he had to follow his mother to work every night. I think we all may be a little insane, but this guy watch his mother die on stage every night as a very young child (3ish.) He was surrounded by darkness for most of his life, and it really shows in his writing. I really enjoy it though, and it's even influenced some of my own. Yeah, i run an Amarr logi with a mass driver.. what are YOU going to do about it?

When you are waving the HMG to hit a target that is strafing or bouncing all around is not very easy, then you add the speed of the heavy, and the increased TTK you face different outlook. Plus when you are taking on multiple targets you do not have time to spray and pray, I want to aim hit, and move on to the next target, not try and aim a small dot on a fast moving scout or assault. Lol increased TTK? Hmg is the only weapon that didn't get nerfed. Your basically beating around the bush to say heavies are UP. Get good. Apparently you lack any comprehension skills. Where did I mention anything about the heavy, I was talking about the sights on the HMG which is used by a heavy frame. All I am asking for is the sights on the HMG to be fixed, dammit I only have two weapons for my heavy can I at least have something that works right. The heavy has had to deal with the HMG fiasco and the FG issues. then you add the speed of the heavy right there. For the Federation!

It's actually not fixed, it's just better. It still mostly shoots towards the center. Or else hit detection is just such crap nothing dies unless directly in the middle. I should be able to at least have at least half my DPS at the edges of the circle, but it doesn't even tickle. +1 HMG spread is still basically pinpoint, its bullets should have more spread. Machine guns are known as area weapons. Look up beaten zones. it needs more ingame effective spread, not just the effects that make it look like it does. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_fire_%28weaponry%29 The HMG needs a proper cone of fire. its spread is way to tight.

Just, what???????????????? What is wrong about wanting a better sight. Its terrible. I have a circle the size of a clone and the only part that actually causes damage is a very small dot. That is stupid, the whole sights should work, its not a snipers scope. If the target falls into my sights they should take damage. No, they hotfixed the HMG having laser like accuracy, it actually disperses throughout the whole cone now. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Kirjuun Heiian. I have a few alts.
