Breakin Stuff Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 1952	Posted - 2014.08.12 12:00:00 - [1] - Quote Scouts realize people have noticed they are better assaults than the assaults are. Assaults get buffed. Eyes turn to the scouts suspiciously over their oddly high efficacy. Scouts panic. "NO NO NOT ME! THE HEAVY IS THE OP ONE LOOK AT HIM!" All of the recent heavy nerf thread origins? Yup. Scout players. Meanwhile assaults are all quietly dusting off their proto assault suits eyeballing the fatties: "I am going to kick your tubby ass when charlie drops..." Hilarious, huh?

Whoever advocated all these buffs, just brought out the old Demons back... lol Scout suits are minions compared to the actual Potential of Assaults... Heavies didn't get nerfed... All these crying about Clacks, bad scouts and cry babies just got themselves into more trouble... I have a Cal/Gal scout, Amar Assault/Sentinel, Calmando... I'll surely enjoy Hotfix Charlie lol

But you know that heavy nerf threads werent from scouts? All that cry, was probably from med frames, cus scouts can counter heavy. And heavy counter scouts. Everyone knew that assaults will get buff. Now they will destroy these paethic tanked suits :) (tanked i mean every brick tanked suit) PS. You forogt about people that were scouts from start. They stick with it tought it was not playable. Next time write ,,cry baby scouts,, and ,,scouts since start,,. Caldari Loyalist Markiplier fan. Got 6815 WP only on wrecking tanks with Ion Cannon.

All those lows!? All that armour!? C'mon now. You can't seriously think they aren't a little too powerful these days. Destiny won't kill Dust. CCP already did that.

Shut up unless you're going to provide mathematical proof that things are OP. The only way for reps to outstrip any weapon is to have five logis repping at once. In which case... Well, that's what we do in EVE, too. And that only works for some of the weapons.

Never mind the gallente and amarr assaults will be able to fit four or five reps each. 50 HP repped/sec. An assault rifle with 550 DPS against armour? When did this happen? It doesn't even get that much against shields unless it's a proficiencied/damage modded Duvolle. Not that I believe full rep is a sane fit. You don't out rep damage in this game unless you use logistics. And going off of just base HP is weak. A 5 rep Amarr/Galassault would be a terrible fit. You have long since made your choice.

That's not what I'm complaining about though. Bluntly Most of the discussions on balance with sentinels are pointless until we see what they do in game, same for assaults. Scouts can die in a fire for all I care, they're a nonfactor in my daily life, both in and out of game. I like discussions though. Especially discussions fuelled by protests and outrage.

More to the point, if Heavies were utterly neutered past 20m (Which seems to be what everyone wants) I'd just swap back to my old habits of forge sniping back in the early days of uprising when proto HMGs couldn't compete with sidearms even. Doesn't take much to get back into THAT. Old reflexes come back quick.

Snake Sellors Hellstorm Inc League of Infamy 282	Posted - 2014.08.12 16:56:00 - [26] - Quote not saying that it's gonna be op here, but ccp are making a slight error here, they are once again making 1 certain "best" sentinel, not just because of the low slots, but because of those and the resistances and it's base stats. so expect that nearly all sentinels will pick amarr now because shields are not very good so the 1H4L does not get countered by 4H1L. but ces't le vie as long as my sniper improves i'll be happy...

I hear a lot of "they need nerfing" but if I recall heavies have the largest hitbox, are the slowest moving, have the shortest range for anti-infantry that isn't purely sidearm or a shotgun, all of which combine into "easiest suits to put bullets into trivially" hence the huge HP buffer. gun choices for heavies... Close quarters combat... or slow, long range tank cracker. Nothing in between. no mid range weapons, nothing. Just two extremes.

Scout players. I'm an assault, have been since launch; first Caldari, then Amarr. More to the point, I am not a scout. Heavies need nerfing. The CPU/PG nerf isn't quite enough, but it is better than nothing. Maybe you should shoot heavy with yes before you make up your mind.

This is all this scout has ever thought about the Heavies/HMG/Assault situation. Tell me I'm wrong. close... distance? Please tell me you're joking. A heavy... closing... distance without getting the drop or baiting them into CQC? Most suits can back up shooting faster than I can go forward. You are... hilarious, my friend. gasp You mean that heavies aren't supposed to chase down targets? Its almost like they're made for point defense or something.... My exact problem is that they don't fulfill that role very well at most points, if the enemy is smart and just walks back a few paces. I mean, think about the 20 meter thing. It's really not as far as you think. On every capturable point on a research lab, the HMG heavy is vulnerable outside of the lowest point of the map (the pit). He can be raped across the bridge, across the hallway, at any of the outside points... it's not easy to just kill the range from range and then run to where he was within the span of a few seconds. What use does the heavy really serve there? On a cargo hub the heavy is good at the very center of the map, but even then he has to be supported by other scouts because there are too many ways for a shotgunner to sneak up and drop him instantly because of the numerous entry and exit stairways and ledges to jump from. And the heavy can't chase him down. Hardly self sufficient point defense, and the heavy is again worthless everywhere else on the map. On a production facility the heavy is good if its 3 points in the city and there is a computer room. Except in reality you need about 2 heavies minimum and a radar man to control that room. And thats before nanohive support. Every other point in the city leaves the heavy exposed to long-range attacks he can't defend himself against. Usually from the saucer or other random high-ground places. And he is again, worthless on outside points. So does the 20m thing make sense on paper? Sure. In reality, its terrible for point defense. It's good for "extremely situation point defense".

Put me in one now and I'd be nigh immortal. All those reps!? All those lows!? All that armour!? C'mon now. You can't seriously think they aren't a little too powerful these days. Sure. Shut up unless you're going to provide mathematical proof that things are OP. The only way for reps to outstrip any weapon is to have five logis repping at once. In which case... Well, that's what we do in EVE, too. And that only works for some of the weapons. You think I just sat there and let people shoot me? Destiny won't kill Dust. CCP already did that.
