Paran Tadec Imperfects Negative-Feedback 902	Posted - 2013.01.28 12:45:00 - [1] - Quote why isnt it the only thing everyone has skilled into? Hmm
Treemugger I mug trees. 34	Posted - 2013.01.28 13:10:00 - [2] - Quote Well, people have lots of motives. You're probably pointing at the "This is more powerful than that, so I'll go with this" one. And that is a very good point, because (in the case of SG Scouts) they have more desire to 1HK than tank which means THEY consider it more effective than heavies... even if heavies still tick them off. But, on the other hand: human's aren't always rational - we have preferences. Why drink that beer, you could have had a V8? It's healthier, after all. The SS Scout is more exciting than the heavy, which is why I use it.

Why drink that beer, you could have had a V8? It's healthier, after all. V8 is what food drinks, just as salad is what food eats. As an aside, I didnt spec into the HMG because, tbh, i like the forge gun much better. Personal preference plays a lot into all these nerf this and that threads, people want what they chose to be legitimate in every circumstance. (not everyone does this of course, but the whiners do).
Odayian Dust Bunny One-Armed Bandits Orbital Rights 12	Posted - 2013.01.28 13:14:00 - [4] - Quote ...maybe because the suits and equipment are 1.5-2x more then a fit in another class but it's okay, this isn't a pay-to-win game. :P Sadly, that's one thing a lot of ppl haven't grasped. A good heavy loadout costs quite a bit more then other builds but the payout is typically a better K/D ratio. Logi can be up there too, but instead of a high K/D it's high WP/D. Gotta love those trade-offs.

Hmm by that logic, your saying that nobody has skill and are toooo lazy to work for their score. No, i think everything is pretty damn balanced. But you hear alot of whine from QQ'ers who say a heavy is an unstoppable killing machine because it only take 4 headshots from a GEK to kill instead of 3.

Hmm I think people don't spec into heavies because deep down they know dam well that the class has limitations and drawbacks. Assault is a much safer place to bet your SP. Almost as safe as hiding behind the scope of a sniper rifle from the redline.

Check... and so on

Redline sniping is a beeatch move...unless your team is toast, then what other option is there really. Honestly at this point I wish CCP would just get on with another heavy nerf so the threads will stop. There are so many other issues with the game that need attention and people are not going to let this go until it happens.
Alldin Kan Imperfects Negative-Feedback 169	Posted - 2013.01.28 13:42:00 - [10] - Quote Heavies are only OP when they move in a group of 3 with HMGs. Better pop out your mass drivers and flux grenades when this happens.


ChribbaX Otherworld Enterprises Dust Control Otherworld Empire Productions 136	Posted - 2013.01.28 13:43:00 - [11] - Quote Because I will pwn once the most underpowered stuff gets boosted and everything else nerfed /c

Midas Man ll Talon Strike Force LTD Sleepless Knights Alliance 38	Posted - 2013.01.28 13:51:00 - [13] - Quote If a heavy spots me first and im in range, im dead. If I spot a heaavy frist from my optimal AR range, by the time he gets me in range he's dead and that assuming I stood still. If anything heavy's need a boost, unless they are skilled or rolling with a skilled squad they are dead. Most amusing thing ever is those that choose to use a big fat slow A&^-ú'd suit with a Shotgun, lol, how will they ever get close enough to shoot, or those with the AR's, run rings around them ones literally. Jump over their head, turn, jump over, turn, also frustrates and kills them. Now if you running against a heavy with proper support ie Logi and Assault friend, then no matter what you spec your going to die but thats a given for anyone running at 3 co-ordinated enemies. Try to get some friends and youll see how easily heavies drop. Focus Logi once he's down the heavy is too.
Volgair Tritan-Industries Legacy Rising 200	Posted - 2013.01.28 16:11:00 - [14] - Quote Paran Tadec wrote: why isnt it the only thing everyone has skilled into? Hmm Because its not the most abuse-able roll on the battle field, and lets face it Proto Assault with Proto fittings is a much better combination of survival and fire power then the Proto Heavy at 1/3 the price. Those of us who were around at the end of last build who are willing to remember that, are not asking for a nerf. In fact one might go so far as to ask for a buff for the Proto Heavy.

Proto heavies def need a buff. Theres a tread on it somewhere I will have to find it again, but it calls for a buff in base HP for the heavy suits instead of more fitting slots, so it'd be the only line of suits that increase HP with tiers.
Kaserai Mandrag DUST University Ivy League 57	Posted - 2013.01.28 16:18:00 - [17] - Quote Paran Tadec wrote: why isnt it the only thing everyone has skilled into? Hmm Primarily because the Heavy is not OP. If we are going to base our preferences of "overpowered" on how hard it is to kill, then that would make a Shotgun scout the top OP class in the game. If I see a scout using a Shotgun near my heavy, I either run or do everything I can to "hopefully" kill him. However, when you think about it, the Enforcer can easily dispatch Scouts. Does this make the Enforcer OP? No, it does not. The entire game has checks and balances. Although their will still be many whiners, the game is about as balanced as it can get.

Cosorvin DUST University Ivy League 45	Posted - 2013.01.28 16:25:00 - [20] - Quote KripnawtiQ Prime wrote: Paran Tadec wrote: why isnt it the only thing everyone has skilled into?

Almost as safe as hiding behind the scope of a sniper rifle from the redline. I went for heavy so I would be unique, and love it so far. I always see a spam of assault people so you can understand why I changed. I also went for laser rifle for those long range maps and its really fun too. Ironically both have the nerf eye on them, but I don't think HMG will get nerfed because the whiners are the minority and the HMG defenders are the majority.
