Doing that if a rr/cr is a better weapon choice doesn't solve the problem. People are flocking to sentinels because of no-drawbacks CQC. I'm honestly planning on using mass drivers on my sents when the HMG slips over the edge. I still think heat is a bandaid and evicting the standard HMG from CQC is the answer.

Or better yet, just provide all the handling attributes,like dispersion, hipfire accuracy, and kick for the in game weapon stats, instead of just a "accuracy rating". That'd be great.

It's a metric calculated from the handling attributes, dispersion etc. I know what it is I just had to make a joke because the shotgun has always had such bad hit detection and also has the lowest accuracy rating. Is this also visible by the reticle of the weapon. I remember the reticle of the tac-ar being bigger/wider when the accuracy rating was lower before it was buffed. Think it was 47 before the buff? I could be all wrong because of my symptoms of dementia and being delusional cause by meds and getting old. sad part is that is no joke.

BL4CKST4R Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 3484	Posted - 2014.12.18 11:08:00 - [128] - Quote CCP would you ever consider buffing the range of the AR, the hmg is king of CQC and with a matching range to the AR there is no place for the AR 0-40M... It would be nice if the hmg had a slightly shorter range, or higher dispersion at range which reduces over time, but from what I can see this won't ever happen. And yeah I see you nerfed the range of the breach, but there are ways to buff it's range and stop it from being crazy. supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Breakin Stuff Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 5835	Posted - 2014.12.18 11:11:00 - [129] - Quote This post above illustrates perfectly why I think the HMG should be evvicted from CQC.

I have not tried the new changes yet but I do plan to very soon. Going off of this and what I have heard elsewhere on the forums, we must not forget that the Tac AR has a much more favourable damage profile to the Scrambler as well. Not only that, the scrambler HAS to be on the Amarr assault to be at max effectiveness where as that Tac AR can be on any suit and perform the same. I'm really happy the TAC is 'back' but I dont want to screw over another weapon to get there.

Yea man. @CCP Actual absolute stats that we fully understand are much more useful than random 'guide' stats to attributes we are not even certain of. I was always under the impression the accuracy rating was hip fire accuracy, now I hear it is to do with dispersion. Does anyone actually know for sure what it is??? lol.

That is the complete wrong way to do this... you CANNOT force someone to use a bad weapon. The idea is that a Sentinel should WANT to use that HMG because it's more beneficial to do so. As I have said repeatedly what is the point of a heavy weapon if a light weapon can do the job better in all ways. Also, while I have your ear, we need heavy weapon parity. Sentinels are the most content starved group in Dust, even more so then the Amarr who only have 3 weapons and an equip. Having only 2 weapons since the beginning of Dust is kinda silly especially with all the LWs, SAs, suits, and equipment that has been released over the years. Please, tell me you have a solid plan to address this Amarr: Assault V, Scout V, Sentinel V, Commando V, Logistics IV I place my faith in my God, my Empress, and my Laz0r
Fox Gaden Immortal Guides Learning Alliance 5483	Posted - 2014.12.18 17:29:00 - [136] - Quote CCP Rattati wrote: Fox Gaden wrote: Well I mostly used the Burst HMG anyway, so this is a buff for me, but I am concerned that increasing heat buildup that much on the base model HMG will greatly reduce its effectiveness as a sustained fire suppression weapon. I would have been more inclined to leave the heat where it was and add a short spool up time so that the rate of fire would start low and take a fraction of a second to get up to speed. By nerfing heat on the base HMG and buffing Heat on the Burst HMG you are making these weapons more similar, when the HMG is supposed to be more of a suppression weapon and the Burst is supposed to be more of a 1v1 weapon. HMG is not a suppression weapon currently, it's a destroy anything in its path weapon and far too forgiving. I like the damage part that way, but not for such a long sustainable time. If I wanted it to suppress, I would decrease damage per round. You can still hold the trigger down for many seconds, especially with skills. And I speak for myself when I declare that spooling is terrible. I think everyone was happy when it was removed, but anything is possible. I don't see any HMG QQ threads today, for or against, so that is a good sign. Now to see if it has enough of an impact to change the usage statistics. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

Breakin Stuff Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 5850	Posted - 2014.12.18 18:16:00 - [138] - Quote Bizarre moment when you realize that the militia HMG with worse heat than when it started feels more functional and less clunky than it did in it's original state. Either that or I was having a REALLY crap day when testing it. scouts were dying properly when I spotted them. Scouts were killing me properly when I did not.
