Donkey Hawaii Bragian Order Amarr Empire 27	Posted - 2013.02.18 21:07:00 - [1] - Quote Why does my death cannon loose to a heavy with an AR? HMGs should be cutting people in half instead of spraying people down with these pathetic little pellets. Increase the HMG's firepower and maybe the CPU and PG usage to balance things out.

That's the thing it takes no skill, but if I'm firing my HMG with an identical heavy with an AR, the AR wins. His bullets have far less drop off so all he has to do is aim for my head.

Do you mind explaining yourself? Do you mind explaining how you're losing to AR heavies? You realize they can't run - right? They have to reload in 60 shots (Big opening to charge) and there hitbox is huge for our HMG to just pulverize them at the same distances assaults use AR to destroy us. I can't think of any reason to lose to an AR heavy other then he got too much distance on you and the ground between you two was open field.

All you ever do is talk about "rivers of tears"...time to start thinking about something else to say...maybe.

Crimson Moon V Internal Error. Negative-Feedback 182	Posted - 2013.02.18 22:40:00 - [23] - Quote Range being tweaked is a nerf lance. You fail at logic. Stop getting butthurt and telling people to shut up just for pointing out the obvious.
new hulk ZionTCD Legacy Rising 49	Posted - 2013.02.18 22:41:00 - [24] - Quote You people are idiots, nothing is getting nerfed. Besides the hmg is fine it's the heavy drop suite that is the problem.

The ability to fit additional complex damage mods on the lower-tier assault suits means they put out a very intimidating amount of DPS. It'll be better once the diminishing returns on damage mods work properly, right now they straight up add together, so two complex mods gets you 20%, when it should be getting you something closer to 18%, and stacking three will get you 30%, when it should also be lower. Suits fitted with a GEK or proto AR and large amounts of damage mods can almost go toe-to-toe with the HMG because of the broken returns.

Please link me where CCP said they are nerfing the range, or tell me what's the lottery numbers because you're obviously from the future. Edit: if they do decide to nerf it, then fine. I'm happy with a slight range nerf, till then people can stfu about it

If there's a problem with the suit - it's ADV and PROTO suck. Well the suit is a joke, so yeah. We have a crappy suit, and people crying for a HMG nerf... So If they nerf the HMG, and leave the suits as is, they may as well take the heavy + HMG class out of the game imo. Edit: by crappy suit, I mean, the price you're paying for a proto suit and what you're getting for it, makes no sense. You pay 200+k ISK extra for an extra high slot (from B series) and a little CPU.

I am from the future and we need to stop the order of the 12 monkeys from destroying the world. HMG is getting a range nerf as well.

I actually think 4 damage complex mods means your walking bait to us. You can kill us fast - sure - but we can still kill you just as fast and you're wearing some good gear to get to that point - where as Type-II is enough for us.

Perhaps you FORGOT that I play a HEAVY??? Its getting common to see a GEK AR user with two damage mods win versus my HMG. So all my skillpoints are going into SCOUT since trying heavy is ok at beginner levels but at more advanced levels its just no!! If I really wanted to make a point of how bad it is then its lol fun to use four complex damage mods on an SMG versus a HMG. The SMG gets a headshot bonus and the HMG does not. When I finish training scout then I will try out Logi if the new suits are a disgrace.

I don't even know you lol If you're asking me to remember you from other posts - then I'd have to remember everyone. One man can't handle all that :O In theory AR Heavies are very versatile - but the end of the last build showed me my mistake. Without the fire power to back being unable to retreat we'll find a lot of very bad situations. The only viable way to be AR heavy is to put massive SP into it - which was possible up until last build. And let me know how that scout things go - I've been wanting to try that myself.

Scalesdini Universal Allies Inc. 57	Posted - 2013.02.19 01:10:00 - [39] - Quote Anyone losing heavy suits one on one to anything besides lasers at range, snipers, or other heavies is doing it wrong. GEK/Duvolle users with damage mods are just target practice with high rewards vs Type II heavy with complex extender, complex regulator and complex armor repairer. This assumes there's no horribad lag going on, which puts a heavy at an instant disadvantage to literally everything else. As far as AR heavies taking you out OP, get better. I run AR heavy, and unless the situation is in my favor or the heavy is flat out bad, I'm going to lose 65-70% of the time.

XeroTheBigBoss Pink Fluffy Bounty Hunterz RISE of LEGION 30	Posted - 2013.02.19 10:54:00 - [45] - Quote I think HMG needs huge range nerf. Their big HMG should not be as accurate if not more accurate as my 15lb AR. If you are only gonna SLIGHTLY nerf their range than it should have crazy spray from mid-long range. Try using Scout than tell me you're at a disadvantage in Heavy suit.
