The dark cloud The Rainbow Effect 3253	Posted - 2014.06.13 14:09:00 - [1] - Quote Cant find it in the spreadsheet and i thoutht it was one of the weapons which aswell deserved a militia variant. After all we have militia heavys and even a forgegun. Please put a HMG into the patch before you throw the patch at us.

I imagine you can't find anything because a militia HMG has probably been banned by Concord. Could you imagine the mayhem if untrained users were wielding those things? Pretty sure that's a war crime. Edit: In all seriousness, yes, it should have its own variant at MLT.

Vicious Minotaur Tronhadar Free Guard Minmatar Republic 872	Posted - 2014.06.14 01:57:00 - [5] - Quote A militia HMG with typical militia-level nerfs would indeed be too powerful. I imagine a ~15% damage Nerf (from standard) and a ~250 clip would be a good place to start. Perhaps less range, too. Hard to know without the ability to plug things in myself and get all shooty-shooty. Definitely have to be careful in this case, as opposed to other weapons. I am a minotaur.

Doom mode(crouch + ADS(lol)) should make it as accurate as current Doom Mode. General John Ripper Like ALL the things!!!

Why treat a symptom instead of the source of the problem? ISK and SP should never be used to balance as you can have an unlimited amount of both, making any attempt to balance with such factors futile. Medium frame EHP is not medium

Militia is not supposed to be a synonym for worthless. Yes, militia gear should be somewhat worse, but ultimately able to compete with the real deal in the hands of a skilled user. Simply give it the extra .5 reload time, and 75% of clipsize of the base HMG, as well as the cpu/pg usage increase.
The dark cloud The Rainbow Effect 3253	Posted - 2014.06.14 07:53:00 - [16] - Quote dont touch the damage but increase the heat build up. That is espacially a drawback when fighting other heavys.

We are holding off on it for the time being, but feel free to come up with the right hmg militia weaknesses on top of normal PG/CPU increase, higher heat cost much smaller clip higher reload etc You could actually fix that problem by giving the HMG actual spread through the reticule. 90% of that reticule is wasted space, and makes no sense to have, as almost all the bullets land within 1-4 pixels of the crosshair pixel..... That's an entire void of empty space included inside the reticule that doesn't make any sense. Yes, that kind of reticule is standard for other games, but that is only because if you segmented it vertically, or horizontally, or any other direction, into thirds the bullets would hit within each zone with an even 33.3% spread for each region inside the reticule, thus the spread itself makes the gun unable to do damage at long ranges, instead of having damage dropoff. Spread is an important mechanic that can give a LOT of variation to guns, but it's only ever touched with a very timid, very long stick by the dev team, as if it's some kind of beast they've never seen before and think it could maul them. Now, back to the point at hand. If spread was actually implemented for the HMG, then the STD to PRO variants would not need any real dropoff damage, and that could all be handed down to the MLT version... Therefore, as the variants increase in quality, the spread would reduce a bit on each tier, this would have a twofold effect of increasing range, and reliable damage dealt. http://youtu.be/dtXupQg77SU Dust to Dust, theme
Baal Omniscient L.O.T.I.S. 1704	Posted - 2014.06.14 09:00:00 - [19] - Quote I would go with a 15% reduction to optimal, a 5% reduction to RoF and a 10% reduction to clip size. PSN ID: AlbelNox2569 Cross Atu for CPM1
I-Shayz-I I-----I 3671	Posted - 2014.06.14 10:10:00 - [20] - Quote The problem with a mlt HMG is that it requires weaponry level 5 just to unlock heavy weapon operation...and then I think you need heavy weapon operation level 3 to access HMGs (I could be wrong though) So a MLT HMG needs to be horrid enough that you would want to spend those hundreds of thousands of skill points to use the standard one over the MLT. MLT heavies have a lot of cpu/pg to start out with, so increasing the fitting cost to more than your average increase for a mlt weapon wouldn't do much. We can balance the MLT HMG by increasing the punishment of the annoyances of the HMG. The first thing is the ammo capacity and reload. The HMG reload is one of the slowest I have ever seen in an FPS, and the majority of FPS players like to reload every time they kill someone. By decreasing the ammo capacity and increasing reload, you effectively make the MLT HMG very limited in effectiveness over time. Normal HMGs have a capacity of 425 (450?), so something like 300 would be perfect for the MLT. A 2-3 second increase in reload time would also be perfect. Damage output I would leave the same though. You want new players to use the HMG on a MLT heavy frame and feel powerful against other players. But if they go up against another heavy or get caught reloading at the wrong time, they will realize that it's not just an "I win" button. The overheat I would increase to about the same ratio as the standard HMG to its ammo capacity. In other words if the HMG overheats after about half the clip, then the MLT one should overheat after about a half the clip. So instead of after 200 rounds or so, it would be about 150 rounds. Either way, the goal is to make the HMG fun to use at MLT level (as well as a way to counter proto suits or other mlt heavies) but to be at a huge disadvantage when going against even a standard level HMG. In the item description on the marketplace, it should specifically state what the downsides are to the weapon to encourage the spending of skill points. 7162 wp with a Repair Tool!

The dark cloud The Rainbow Effect 3253	Posted - 2014.06.14 12:00:00 - [21] - Quote Honestly if you think that a weapon type is too powerfull to be militia then why you even started to introduce allmost all light weapons to begin with? You should not be limited by SP to start to play as you want to play. Militia heavys are very squishy because they have lower HP, less module slots and even less PG+CPU then a proper sentinel suit. Allmost every role should be avaible on the get go without spending tons of SP and thats what militia stuff is good for finding out what you like and what not. When the forgegun can have a militia variant then the HMG deserves aswell one.
manboar thunder fist SAM-MIK General Tso's Alliance 54	Posted - 2014.06.14 13:28:00 - [22] - Quote i think the militia HMG should have the same damage as the assault version, around 15 i think but a slower ROF now thinking about it though, nearly 5/10 of the population use heavy at some time, they are pretty powerful and this shows it's not too hard to skill into them, i think that you should require weaponry 5 just to use the MLT hmg, weird ik, but last thing we need is every blueberry swapping the frontline suit for a heavy that can destroy a proto scout for 1/10th of the cost in less time than the scout can kill it.... Even in my heavy it would suck to have every enemy pull out a MLT heavy because it's just OP if everyone uses high HP suits with high DPS.... a mlt heavy suit is already as viable as a basic one so introduce MLT Hmgs? why not just give every one MLT core locus grenades and MLT assault rail rifles too and while we are at it, MLT large missile turrets and MLT assault dropships ... -.- NERF SCOUTS, NERF TANKS, NERF AV, NERF ASSAULTS, NERF LOGIS, NERF HEAVIES nerf life

We are holding off on it for the time being, but feel free to come up with the right hmg militia weaknesses on top of normal PG/CPU increase, higher heat cost much smaller clip higher reload etc I love my bullet hose, but yes, Militia HMG would need significant limitations to keep it from being too strong. And I agree it still needs to be fun to use though, otherwise there's no point. As it so happens, I was tossing this idea around a while ago. And I thought this looked fair: Damage: 18 RPM: 2400 Clip Size: 300 Max. Bullets: 1050 Heat Build-up: 18 Effective Range: 45m Absolute Range: 112.5m PG: 9 CPU: 70 The basic DPS is the same as the standard HMG. That's to let people get a taste for the gun, and have it still perform at what the HMG is supposed to be good at. To make up for that, I'd reduce the clip size and max. bullets by 30%, and then increase the heat build up by 30%. I'd also reduced the effective and absolute ranges by 10%. Fitting costs are nerfed proportionately to other militia weapons. I think that leaves you with a militia HMG that's usable and still fun, but no substitute for a proper HMG.

If the lower clip size / higher heat and 10% less damage than proto aren't balanced it should be indicative of a larger overall problem with the weapon. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu.

We are holding off on it for the time being, but feel free to come up with the right hmg militia weaknesses on top of normal PG/CPU increase, higher heat cost much smaller clip higher reload etc Lower damage & magazine size, increase heat cost per shot, and leave the range, RoF, and reload time the same. Example stats: Militia (Compared to standard) [Militia Heavy Machine Gun] Damage: 15 HP (-3) (-16.7%) Rate of Fire:2400 RPM (Same) DPS: 600 HP/s (-120) (-16.7%) Clip Size: 319 (-106) (-25%) Max. Ammo: 1200 (-300) (-20%) Reload Time: 9s (Same) Heat Build-Up Per Second: 17.5 (3.5)(+25%) Fix regular HMGs, they definitely need a bit more heat buildup and small damage nerf; standard should deal 17 damage per shot, which is a 5% damage nerf, and that will make it have around 680 DPS (40 DPS less).

CLONE117 True Pros Forever 817	Posted - 2014.06.17 18:47:00 - [29] - Quote from the many times ive used the hmg. the only time ive found it to be ammo efficient is when i was at point blank range. and that took me about 80 rounds to kill a mlt newberrie. sure it can be devastating buts that due to how many bullets it can spew out in such a short time frame. id say a clip of 325 would be irritating enough for the mlt hmg. hell it probably wouldnt be enough. in an hmg vs hmg fight. plus it most certainly would require a reload after each kill as 200 rounds is the average amount of ammo used on a single player. from what ive seen. dust 514 shall be eternal. pve for dust 514. dont worry my logis. i will protect u. unless its a scout. itd be too late

But that may be a playstyle preference. I'd avoid stacking 2 & 3 both on at once though, either one might be useful but both would be deeply burdensome. 0.02 ISK Cross Cross Atu for CPM1- An emergent candidate

I also think a higher heat cost across the board, not just militia, (not for the burst) would be effective. Higher reload isn't fair though. I disagree with that. My thoughts on Hotfix Alpha: First I noticed a scout running from my AR. Then a heavy. Then a COMBAT RIFLE USER. CCP +1
Meisterjager Jagermeister Red and Silver Hand Amarr Empire 213	Posted - 2014.06.18 06:26:00 - [33] - Quote Serious consideration needs to be given to how a militia hmg will change the dynamics of the game. There is the risk with a militia hmg that a great many new players will turn to a militia hmg as a crutch weapon and never deviate from it. Once they get a taste for the multi kill spree, all other weapons will seem lackluster and hard to use. Where once a new player would take to the hills sniping, now they will run in herds with hmgs.
