Zekain Kade BetaMax. 931	Posted - 2013.01.12 04:32:00 - [1] - Quote I'm not sure if it was just me, but before the reset. I ran around mostly in a raven suit with com complex shield extenders, and some BPO low slot mods, like a armor rep, and a CPU chip. When I ran around in this pretty standard fitting, I was able to challenge Dozens of heavies in 1v1, CQC situations, and win. I would be able to kill him faster with my Exile, then he could with his HMG... Why? How? He'd be dead, while I would have 1/4 armor left after the fight... I would be running at him, while scoped in, and he would go down so damn fast. Some of the HMG's seem like they are under powered, I shouldn't be able to challenge a heavy at full health in a 1v1 CQC match, and win. Remember, I was able to do this with a RAVEN suit.

HowDidThatTaste Imperfects Negative-Feedback 2242	Posted - 2013.01.12 04:42:00 - [3] - Quote Yes something is a little off with the heavy suit
Chunky Munkey Amarr Templars Amarr Empire 285	Posted - 2013.01.12 04:43:00 - [4] - Quote I used to eat through assault suits as they lined up to shoot at me. The only time I struggled was when people mastered good strafing, or lagged the F out. Losing a mid-close range duel with an ar is the greatest shame a heavy can endure.

SoTa PoP Internal Error. Negative-Feedback 1772	Posted - 2013.01.12 04:57:00 - [8] - Quote I love watching blue berry heavies go down instantly to lasers. And I mean INSTANTLY. Like damn lol

Belzeebub Santana SVER True Blood Unclaimed. 409	Posted - 2013.01.12 05:16:00 - [10] - Quote Ya heavies might need a buff, I think their head hit box and percentage of damage should be smaller. And ya armor does seem to need more protection.

Beld Errmon Tal-Romon Legion Amarr Empire 479	Posted - 2013.01.12 06:32:00 - [11] - Quote A lot of ppl running heavies atm are using the militia suits which are terrible and have very little HP, that and a lot of ppl with the HMG are terrible, spraying away without using their brain at all, its not a god suit and it shouldn't be buffed into one. Good HMG users are able to dominate in CQC atm with no good assault suits getting around.
4447 ZionTCD Legacy Rising 649	Posted - 2013.01.12 06:37:00 - [12] - Quote heavies are weak at the moment
Lavirac JR DUST University Ivy League 129	Posted - 2013.01.12 06:38:00 - [13] - Quote HMGs take a lot of SP to work bad ass (Unless they got to Logibros healing them). To run a HMG effectively, you need Weaponry at 4, HMG Operation at 5, Field Mechanics at 5, and Shield Control at 3 to 5. Gives you the HP and makes sure your HMG does not overheat.
HowDidThatTaste Imperfects Negative-Feedback 2242	Posted - 2013.01.12 07:02:00 - [14] - Quote The one thing I have noticed after each reset is that the heavy is on a slower curve. We hit our stride a little later than ar, as far as skills and weaponry, but then we become beasts for a short while as the AR people kind of level out. So the rise of the fatmen is coming! We just need some serious SP hand outs!

We just need some serious SP hand outs! I've been explaining this to our new heavies as well. We're not all that effective till we get around 2 million SP into our equipment. Then we're monsters
TTK II Tronhadar Free Guard Minmatar Republic 2	Posted - 2013.01.12 07:24:00 - [16] - Quote Heavies are supposed to be feared. They are not. Every game I've ever played, when a heavy is comming, you take cover. Think Big Daddy in Bioshock. Remember the heavies in Killzone? These heavies are weak in comparison. They look like a heavy, they move like a heavy, they have heavy weapons, but they die like an assault suit.
Exmaple Core UnReaL. 135	Posted - 2013.01.12 07:44:00 - [17] - Quote theres so much complaints about heavys! i really think theyre balanced the way they are. If an assult is soloing a heavy at point blank unfair advantage the heavy just sucks. I have no promblem with assults when im fighting them how i want to fight them

Snagman 313 Carbon 7 41	Posted - 2013.01.12 08:47:00 - [19] - Quote It's mostly like the lads are saying, once we hit about 2 mil SP things start to change in favour of the heavy but we definatly are not the be all and end all monsters that we used to be. I would like to see a bit of resistance put on armour to compensate to the huge hitbox we have maybe 5% not much, which might level the playing field a bit against Lasers and AR's at long range. However in the meantime I will try and stick to cover and play smart. Just before the reset I got a bit of hate mail when I murdered a squad of 4 AR dudes in less than a couple of seconds, and I'm an average player at best, so it can't be all that bad. Regards Snag
