LIFE RIPPER Sanmatar Kelkoons Minmatar Republic 103	Posted - 2012.12.19 17:48:00 - [1] - Quote I was working hard to get my HMG skills up and was having some success until this build. I now go negative every time I use it? In close quarter I should win right? I get beat by smg and AR like I wasn't even standing there. The nerf to the HMG was the death nail for this slow moving bullet magnet. It takes so many bullets to kill anyone that if I am lucky enough to get the first one I don't have enough bullets to get a second kill cause I have to reload. I know I need to get better and skill more into it but at the current cost and weak weapon I can't afford to run anything but the militia suit. I see some guys running the heavy suit/Hmg combo and doing well so there is hope but wow the HMG nerf was not needed!

All that's in the patch notes I see are things that deal with zooming or the burst variant. That, and the damage went down a little on some weapons. Maybe your performance isn't changing any, but other people are no longer framerate stuttering in front of your wall of bullets. :)
LIFE RIPPER Sanmatar Kelkoons Minmatar Republic 103	Posted - 2012.12.19 19:06:00 - [3] - Quote The changes made are a. Much tighter spread and people can dodge them much easier. All the people using the broadside seem to be doing good? I don't have any Aurum and can't afford 100,000 for a proto gun each time I die.. pay to win for the Hmg!
Chunky Munkey Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 285	Posted - 2012.12.19 19:14:00 - [4] - Quote Lol are you kidding? I used to have to run standard gear to break even on Codex. Now that hit-detection issues are far less common, and logis get to farm wp from us like they've always deserved, my fat ass is singing from the rooftops. Doom mode feels a bit cartoony though.
HowDidThatTaste Imperfects Negative-Feedback 2242	Posted - 2012.12.19 22:12:00 - [5] - Quote I wouldn't say the HMG/combo is dead. WE just lost some of the intimidation factor. I do miss those extra damage points though.
Aeon Amadi Maverick Conflict Solutions 1003	Posted - 2012.12.19 22:16:00 - [6] - Quote Go play any other dropsuit and be on the receiving end from -any- HMG. Seriously, if they buff Heavy/HMG combo much more it's going to be the only thing anyone ever uses.
Sentient Archon Red Star. 690	Posted - 2012.12.19 22:22:00 - [7] - Quote I laugh at heavies now. I dont fear them anymore. Before I used to run away from them. Now I just take them out.

This^ I've now gone from playing like I've a chance against a fresh heavy in my assault to having to do alot of duck and weave. So far I think CCP have got the balance just right for heavies. Respect is now present in bucket loads when I spot them. I can take them down but I need support to split their attention.
Ryder Azorria Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 134	Posted - 2012.12.19 23:49:00 - [9] - Quote Judging by the amount of my corpses that look like swiss cheese, the HMG is very much alive. Also, why call it the HMG heavy combo? The heavy part is a given isn't it?
Icy Tiger Universal Allies Inc. 1026	Posted - 2012.12.20 00:04:00 - [10] - Quote Are you crazy? This thing gets mad kills easy. My guy went 27-7 and we weren't even trying that much.

J'Jor Da'Wg KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 648	Posted - 2012.12.20 01:06:00 - [11] - Quote I think the heavies could actually use an eHP buff tbh, not a HMG buff

If you come around a corner and expect to live against a heavy in CQC, you are DEAD wrong. J'Jor Da'Wg wrote: I think the heavies could actually use an eHP buff tbh, not a HMG buff Amen, damage of HMG is more than fine. But when scaling high SP heavies vs high SP assaults, it becomes much harder to kill an assault, relatively (when all else is equal).
