Why is it only now people are complaining now about us heavy's? We were given minor tweaks over the last few patches, nothing game changing. But since the AR nerf with the scope replaced with iron sights now people have problems? Well lets look at the pro's and con's of heavy's.
Pro's *Has more basic armour and health values *Can use heavy weapons
Con's *Cant use equipment *Slow *Cant jump well *Reduced modules slots *Suits and weapons are more expensive *Skills books are more expensive *HMG Basic reload time is 8 seconds
The con's really out weigh the pro's there. Heavy's also have to spend more on skills to use suits and weapons. |

I would emphasize that higher training multiplier for heavy weapons. It really is one of the biggest disadvantage for heavies.
Heavies feel still fine btw.

I guess it is pretty aggravating. Heavies can obliterate LAVs and poorly fitted Dropships. Sometimes a Heavy can even just stand around while being shot by SMGs or Militia ARs and easily take out their attacker although that surely is the point for a Heavy to outclass other infantry in a head on, one-on-one battle.
But a lone Heavy is just so combatable. ARs can really hurt them, they stand little chance against greater than one opponent, grenades easily break their sheilds and ravage their armour and I shouldn't have to mention how terrifying Lasers and Snipers are to an open Heavy.
I find that the Devs have hit the sweet spot for balancing the Heavy. |

Oh let's add the con that our best suit with best mods is inferior to assault of the same level and a fourth the cost. |

Being a heavy pisses me off sometimes when I can't even jump over a rail...nope, I gotta run all the way around to find an exit. Either make rails lower, or give heavies a vault jump.
"Hey I'm an immortal super soldier holding a big heavy gun, but I can't jump a rail, or climb a slight grade"
Makes no sense. I can't even believe people even complaining about heavies. Play a few matches as a heavy using a decent load out and you'll see how weak they are in certain situations.
Funding a heavy is WAY too expensive, and borderline ridiculous. I'm not even talking about a pimped out suit, just a normal Type 2 and an advanced HMG... can't die more than 4 times if you're planning to make any kind of profit. |

I agree i feel they are balances. A heavy has more health and a bigger gun, but I'm faster and can recharge everything quicker. I usually take out a heavy's shields, then hide, let mine recharge. Then half the health, hide, other half. Or as someone said, if you have two people a heavy is usually no match.
I personally like having the heavies in the game. Going up against them sucks some times, but when there on my team i love it.

(BTW I GOT MY B-SERIES AND COMPLEX SHIELD OMG OP) Done - next objective please. Though you really should of said use a proto swarm vs proto tank cause that'll be one fight I won't win lol But it IS an AV set up for non-heavies that DOES do considerable damage if the tanker isn't paying attention. I admit forges are better - but they're not the only AV weapon. You continually ignoring the AV capacity of the other weapons is hurting your logic when communicating it to others - you need to hold everything accountable even if it sucks.
And don't ya love being a shield heavy? It's fun even when you're getting torn to pieces - or at least would of been till you look at your wallet lol |

Heavies were just as OP in Codex, it's just that since many things have been balanced out in Chromosome, one of the few things left that needs tweaking is the heavy. So therefore it is now feeling the heat from the community.
Now here is the thing, the lightly speced heavies are ideal for the game right now, they provide support by laying down vast amount of gunfire or AV and can absorb a bit of damage, but they are not near invincible and still need to be close to you to do significant damage. However the highly speced heavies are essentially walking tanks that can basically OHK you with a HMG if within medium range, and damage you about as much as an AR can at above medium ranges. They also need some serious firepower and commitment to take out, which is usually always impractical given that there are other players in the game.
If the maps were huge this wouldn't be too big a deal, but these maps are way too small to give such firepower at the range it has with such a strong character.
The fact here is, heavies that are well speced are the new Codex dropships of Chromosome. |

The stupidity in this post is incredible. This is what I got from your post.
"look at me I have DJINN in my name so I'm good at this game!!! My opinion matters more than everyone elses!!! Someone that has invested all or most of their sp into heavy drop suits and heavy weapons killed me so now it's op!!!!!!!!!!!!! Waaaaa waaaaaaa waaaaaa butthurt waaaaaaa waaaaaa waaaaaaa"
I don't usually troll but people are getting worse. Try attacking them with something other than a banana and a rubber suit and you'll probably win. Also this strange new thing known as tactics works wonders against them. |

Thats not really the case.
Proto heavies are not much better than basic, at least when compared to assault.
I think once the damage mod multipliers are fixed HMGs will level off. |

The swarm is only a viable weapon if the tank sucks (basic) while you have a proto, or if it's a LAV or dropship, but it can be outrun by both :3
Not a heavy, but it's still pretty OP b/c weapons got nerfed whoever has the most shields wins :'(

The fact here is, heavies that are well speced are the new Codex dropships of Chromosome. Are you still posting about heavies even after everyone called you out for being dumb? Masochist.
Let me break this down for you so you can comprehend. The community isn't complaining about heavies in general - they're complaining about HMG's. The comments about heavies are almost always directed at there price tag and mod slots. All the negative complaints about heavies are always in the form of QQ and no substance. Anyone who has a hard time bringing down a heavy needs to put down the controller and find another game - obviously FPS isn't for them. Especially when my 6 million in total SP dedicated heavy AR ass gets handed to him by scouts with militia shot guns while I'm running a suit that costs me nearly 300,000ISK.
I just don't get how people can complain. Black colored assault players run around with as much HP and double our speed with weapons who out DPS HMG's who aren't dedicated to there build. Maybe that's what's confusing you people - a lot of HMG users are dedicated ones who do nothing but make there HMG stronger. |

This is such a flawed approach...
"Well Specced Heavy's are good".
That's what I got. Unless I'm 10-15 m in front of a Heavy, I can:
A. Take a Duvolle, put a clip in him. B. Take a Laser, put a clip in him. C. Take a Mass Driver, put a clip in him. D. Take a Sniper, put a clip in him. E. Throw grenades. F. Run up in a Scout Suit and 2 Shot him with a Shotgun/SMG. G. Take an LAV and run him over (can be substituted with any vehicle). |

Not sure if serious....
as it is right now:
Proto Heavy suit with proto HMG vs Proto Assault suit with proto AR... a straight 1v1, 5-10m from each other (equally skilled players)...
The assault player will win.
Someone said it already, and I'm just saying it again;
Low lvl heavy > low lvl Assault
High lvl heavy < high lvl assault
How is that balanced?
Edit: Not to mention the huge difference in cost between the 2 classes. Even though heavies cost more ISK, and cost more SP, they are inferior in situations where they're suppose to be kings in. Makes no sense. |

This list is highly situational and in my actual experience, moot. I could make a list 10 times longer than that against an AR player. But something written on paper and something experienced are completely different.
Too many people make these claims with the assumption that the situation is ideal, which it rarely ever is. Luck plays more of a role than anything in this game. And with heavies having so much health and firepower, luck is in their favor.
I know you all really like having your near invincible killing machines, but you have to admit they are OP for the sake of balance and long-term viability for the game. Stop being so selfish.

The first build way back last March, I felt Hwavies were the most balanced, because they were a feared sight in anything but long range and in your face CQC. Close quarters from 15 meters away out to medium range, you had to get teamwork or another heavy, or a scout in its face to kill it.
It was worth the cash and SP withiut being overpowering. People QQ'd that an Assault couldn't take a Heavy down in medium range because the heavy had 1000 more ehp than the assault. Ah, I miss the days of the Heavys golden age |

Heavies aren't OP, an assault suit shouldn't win a face to face fight with a heavy. Use the environment, you have to kite heavies and eat away at them. If you are unable to do that take a shotgun and close the distance. If it's on an open map use a sniper and pick them off from out of their range. If they are running around in a death cab use AV nades.
Tactics and counters use them. |

When running my own Heavy, which I finally got going on, it is disheartening to realize you really are not the baddest unit on the battlefield. Heavies have their strong points and weak ones. Spawning into the middle of red berries means you might, might get one. Coming around the corner and your odds improve.
Run with a squad with a Heavy in it. Support your own Heavy as they can provide amazing fire support. Make sure your Logi helps get their armor back up or the next brief encounter will cost your side a clone. When you come up on a Heavy and Rambo it, you will normally die. Obstacles and corners are good in defense of Heavies as well.
I truly feel the OP reactions are just the dreams of Rambo wanna bees* that don't want to pay the price of running a Heavy. Getting Butt Hurt by anything is bad. Getting creamed several times in a row can make all the QQ seem really important. It isn't, it is just QQ and you gotta grow up. Up to a Type II I can take on a Heavy by myself. But I cannot do it if I am being stupid. Blowing up their Lav is a great kill.
Get smarter, quit with the QQ and learn how to fight.

Heavies also lack a T1 BPO which is actually quite a big deal. |

There are only a few heavies I have the hardest time taking out 1v1 with an exile. (i.e. exmaple core and a couple more)
The environment is an assault and scouts best friend more than a heavy's.
I think for the most part the game is pretty balanced at the moment or rather the most balanced it's been so far. |
