Hakyou Brutor G0DS AM0NG MEN 811	Posted - 2014.07.01 04:36:00 - [1] - Quote Fact: Heavies are meant to be close quarter combat monsters and outside of CQC they are to be ineffective. So... The question I ask is: "Why does the HMG have an effective range of 55 meters?" Heavies are currently beast at assault (due to their weapon range and mobility), while they should only be beast at defense, as stated by the community time and time again. So I propose the following: Reducing the range of the HMG to say... 25 meters effective range. Reducing the speed of heavies by 15% on all heavies with the exception of the Minmatar heavy. I hope you can see where I'm coming from, I find it frustrating that a CQC weapon has only 15 meters less effective range than an Assault Rifle. "I never pull out" ~Ace Boone, 2014.

The HMG is fine. sigh let me just put this here before some else does so we can get it out of the way. 'Get gud'. Noob isn't really a status, it's the online equivalent of a 5-year old calling you a poopy fart head.

Fact: Putting the word fact in front of your post doesn't make it a fact. Does your Factoid include heavies with Forge Guns, because they're ineffective in close quarters...and super effective at range. If what you actually mean is the HMG's are meant to by CQC weapons then, Fact: you're wrong. You can tell by the way they've been designed to not be CQC only weapons by having an effective range of 55m. Fact. Knowledge is power

The problem with that is that the Burst AR only does that DPS when the gun is firing at it's full potential, and such a thing cannot be attained without a modded controller.

Its because you do not understand the diffrence between effective and optimal, the effective means very little. I think hmg may need a slight damage nerf, but the range is fine.

Does not push forward? So how do they arrive at the point in question? Spawn in or bust,, I think the problem is your perception of what a hmg sentinel is supposed to do.

Spawn in or bust,, I think the problem is your perception of what a hmg sentinel is supposed to do. HMG heavies should be able to hold down a point, not assault a point and take it. Stop taking what I say literally, obviously they could move to a point to defend it, it's not "spawn in or bust". "I never pull out" ~Ace Boone, 2014.

There is an optimal and an effective. When you get intl a weapons effective the damage is very low. You should argue based on the optimal, never on the effective, you dig?

OP FOTM Commando Perkone Caldari State 138	Posted - 2014.07.01 05:19:00 - [21] - Quote It is just ******* ridiculous. Some weapons in this game get over 100 meters of range like the Lasers. It is completely unfair to heavies that you want to wave your light weapons in our faces and not die. You people are just bad at Dust, and you need nerfs to compensate for your lack of skill. I KILL PROTO HEAVIES ALL THE TIME. WITH MY ASSAULT RIFLE. GOD DAMNIT. I remember a time when people used to RESPECT the heavy when it was only Amarr. Now because everyone and his brother want to try out the new heavies, you people are crying a bunch of FALSE CLAIMS that "it takes no skill to use." You're just mad that you have no skill, and the heavies who also have no skill are beating you. CCP, I thought I was going to start liking you again. I really did. Then you announced this event.

Woah there buddy, I'm not saying I can't kill heavies, cause believe me, I can. I'm just saying they are too effective at assaulting a point, their objective should be to DEFEND.

This is a sensitive topic to me because without a Logi we just get shredded to pieces like we're nothing... like having over 1000 HP means absolutely nothing... You guys just don't get what it feels like to BE a heavy. 25 meters is a ridiculous, uncalled for nerf. Like I said, get back to me when you change your proposal to 40 meters.

Heavy Tanks ADS' Scout Logi I honestly think being a heavy is the easiest thing in the game, no offense to heavies, but really.

deezy dabest Sacred Initiative of Combat Killers 705	Posted - 2014.07.01 05:43:00 - [29] - Quote LOL @ 55 meters being "effective" range for an HMG. The assault HMG may be considered effective at that range but you are seriously bad if you are getting killed by a regular HMG at 55 meters. Have you seen the dispersion? At 55 meters 1 in 8 bullets hits AT BEST. So how about before you ***** about a weapon you do not do either of the following and see how you feel. A) stand stationary in front of it cause you think it should not be effective at that range. B) think that that weapon dealt 100s of points of damage to kill you when you were running across a field with 20 HP left. Im going to start screaming every stupid thing I can about scouts just cause they kill me. Laser focused in a room full of mirrors. Everything you ever wanted coming SoonGäó just keep buying boosters.

Due to the increased dispersion you would need all the luck in the world to get even 10% of your bullets to hit Amarr: Sentinel V Scout V Assault IV Commando IV Logistics IV I place my faith in my God, my Empress, and my Laz0r
