everyone and their mother were armor tanking with combat rifles in invisible to radar gallente suits or unhittable cal suits.
now, everyone and their mother, brother, sister, father, aunt, uncle, cousin twice removed, and pet rabbit are using heavy frames with HMG's. Those that were smart and foresaw the scout nerfs already have sentinels, while everyone else is scrambling to gain enough sp to max out at least one frame and get HMG's
Please, if you are going off of market data alone for buffs/nerfs, please find some way of fixing the heavy. Heavy spam can and will ruin the game just as much as the initial scout spam did for some.

Please stop with this stupid rally call to get people screaming "nerf heavies, nerf HMGs". It's entirely stupid. We have been in a constant flux of buff and nerf because a couple of pansies just can't suck it up.

They really shoukd fix that.
Isn't the scouts role stealth? 1 class with fulk stealth mods shouldn't be scanned tbh.
When assaults get buffed scouts will need it.

to prove to you all that the HMG heavy is overpowered, i WILL skill up to proto a minnie sentinel (arguably the most underpowered) and play with it for 1-2 months, come back, and share my thoughts. Who knows, I may change my mind.
However, atm, a mlt heavy with a republic HMG is more effective than my proto min scout

TBH the scanner nerf was actually a buff to the Gallente logistics. They use to not have a bonus to dB. I think CCP went the wrong way about this. I would actually rather they not change the active scanner or lessen the bonus, because the scanner is literally unplayable on other suits. Good job on diverse builds CCP...

Scouts were nerfed because their bonus granted them free modules so that they COULD tank their suit without having to using profile damps, precision amps, and range amps.
Other suits don't just get a free module just by skilling into the suit, it's almost always a BONUS to the weapon or item, which FORCES you to use that item and take up a slot that could be used by something else.

Well they need to make it so any scout that fills all lows with damps is not scan able.

eh...sentinels, commbandos, assaults (to an extent) all have bonuses to the suit/a weapon. I like the scout changes for gal/cal, however, amarr scouts were boned, and min scouts became only viable in pubs

The thing is, the scout isn't really that useful with all dampeners unless it's a Caldari or Minmatar, which is pretty scan-able. The Gallente should not be scan-able with 1 complex dampener. As unfair as it sounds, it is the job of the Gallente scout to be dampened easier then the other scouts, meaning they have to sacrifice less. As this makes them more attractive, the Amarr just needs to have a more worthwhile bonus. This would also make the Minmatar PC viable, as having a great bonus like hacking speed and nova knife damage is not useful when you are scanned...
For the Caldari Scout: he is the scout hunter. However, squad shared vision must be removed (I thought they removed it a while ago?), and Gallente scouts need to sacrifice the same amount of dampeners as opposed to the amount of precision enhancers the Caldari scout has to make it fair, as it already has the edge with dampeners having 5% more dampening while having a lower base dB.
EDIT: what do we perceive scouts to be? That varies from person to person, and until that get's cleared up, we will not be at peace no matter how "balanced" it becomes.

The HMG will probably get addressed with a second heat-buildup nerf. I have yet to see a real heavy that takes issue with that. In addition, Rattati seems to be open to a rotational speed nerf for equipping armour plates. And never mind that the heavies "op-ness" is, in part, due to lackluster assaults. Which Rattati will address. There are others, too.
Many here on these forums have proposed solutions and instigated discussion upon heavy balance that Rattati has taken note of. I would say that our resident wizard is well ahead of you.

i think if the heat up were greatly increased so that strafing for some time can buy you an easy escape/heavy kill would be great, but it would have to be a lot of heat up. id think that it would over heat after ~90 shots, and would be balanced, with the assault variant having lower over heat (similar to ScR v. AScR)

Are you going to go onto EVERY thread that mentions or thinks about mentioning heavies and *****/moan to nerf it? It's getting old, you saying the same thing on every thread. Here's a radical concept. Stay outside of HMG range and shoot them with a CR or RR. You can kill them, they can't kill you, and maybe you'll stop griping about it.
Thokk Kill. Thokk Crush. Thokk Smash.

please punctuate, i can't understand what you are saying. 90 rounds is maybe a little low, (id revise to 120) though thats more than enough to kill almost anything in the game. Maybe it would be balanced by very quick cool down as well, which would make it more minmitar like as well (high burst dps, then a drop in dps) as a heavy would have to wait for a split second to cool down. It would also add some skill into using the HMG, which would actually be a nice change. Also, it makes the assault variant much more appealing, as currently, it is outDPSed at range by a non variant HMG. I see no problems with this whatsoever, if the cool down was ridiculously fast.
You would retain continuous fire capabilities for:
2400/60=40 rps
90/40=2.25 seconds
Seems fair enough to me, 2 seconds of fire, .75 seconds to cool down, and repeat. At 1000 dps, the HMG should be fine, and this would add a skill baseline to the heavy/HMG combo role.
With a skill baseline, the heavy would be spammed much less, as only those who were dedicated to the role would be retain their current efficiency (basically what the scout nerfs were intended to do. Whether they worked or not...but thats another issue). This, coupled with assault buffs, would only really hurt people who, for lack of a better phrase, are not very good at this game, and require a 2k hp, 1k dps role to be decent.
Overall, if there is going to be a heavy nerf (which, in all honesty, seems quite likely) this and perhaps a nerf to rotation speed would be sufficient points of balance
What all Minjas are thinking as they play...
Yellow Heavy, Red Heavy...

I quit dust because the hmg spam.
And tank spam.
You quit great one less player trying to ruin the game... Also you're correct Rattatai isnt stupid hence when i hear CCP Rattati wrote:I like the deadliness of a heavy hmg as it is right now. If we were to reduce its efficiency in a future hotfix, it would most likely be to heat since that rewards skill and not spray and pray.
Improving the assault is then my preferred counter to heavies, not nerfing heavies, most likely through racial tanking improvements, pure damage output and regen. Just my general thoughts on the subject. I know its coming from a smart person henceforth This ^ will be my only response to QQ on the topic of the HMG The hmg needs a nerf It's rpm is too high Adding heat won't balance it at all. Are you going to go onto EVERY thread that mentions or thinks about mentioning heavies and *****/moan to nerf it? It's getting old, you saying the same thing on every thread. Here's a radical concept. Stay outside of HMG range and shoot them with a CR or RR. You can kill them, they can't kill you, and maybe you'll stop griping about it.
No, I can't, when every counter is heavies hiding indoors.
