Shadow Archeus Wraith Shadow Guards 38	Posted - 2013.02.20 16:13:00 - [1] - Quote I play heavy all the time...has anyone noticed that now at range its doing less damage I sat and unloaded my hmg on a guy earlier at a decent distance away.....got all kinds of hit markers but he sat there like it wasn't doing anything.....his shields and health didn't move and he just kept shooting at other people as though I wasn't there.......is the range that the hit marker appears bugged or what.....I've always noticed it being a little off but it seems like they needed the hmg range
Tech Ohm Eaven L.O.T.I.S. Legacy Rising 401	Posted - 2013.02.20 16:33:00 - [2] - Quote More nerfs. Sadly forum whiners will not be happy until the HMG shoots out gummibears.
Hana-Maru DUST University Ivy League 9	Posted - 2013.02.20 16:44:00 - [3] - Quote moar gummibears!! make all da merks fat and slow!
Mortal Maximus KNIGHTZ OF THE ROUND 8	Posted - 2013.02.20 16:45:00 - [4] - Quote Could be what Tech said, or you have some lagg issues, cuz sometimes that happens to me as well, but when i disconnect, then reconnect it works just fine from enemies far away. Hope this comment helped.
Panoscape BurgezzE.T.F 107	Posted - 2013.02.20 16:47:00 - [5] - Quote Yes, the HMG sucks at range. I have sharpshooter at lvl 3 and it does an ok job. The thing I do is call in a beefed up LAV, drive to a building and go cqc or I drive around and do pop and drops. A type 2 suit works well also, flank and waddle into position then unleash the pain. Know your strengths and how to overcome your weaknesses and you'll do fine.
Mortal Maximus KNIGHTZ OF THE ROUND 8	Posted - 2013.02.20 16:49:00 - [6] - Quote Ill take that advice :)

Ah yes, the Death Taxi. If you starting skirmish to make your initial run and a red LAV rolls up to the redline this is not the free kill you think it is.

Or it could be a stealth nerf. See if it behaves this way the next time you play. I hope it is not a range nerf. I changed my mind on wanting that. Now I just want them to increase the WP for a Heavy kill to +80 with +40 for an assist. I think this better reflects your role, the difficultiy in killing you, and the expense of your suit.
CHICAGOCUBS4EVER TeamPlayers 117	Posted - 2013.02.20 18:13:00 - [9] - Quote the 'murder taxi'..first introduced and perfected by Exmaple-Core and now emulated by many. And IF they decide to nerf range to appease those that cry about heavy, you will be seeing a LOT more of it.

I do the same on certain maps, or if I have trouble finding people to shoot. I do NOT, however, drive around trying to open up my own personal Roadkill Cafe. u wanna play hide n seek? no problem... I found you ;)
XeroTheBigBoss Pink Fluffy Bounty Hunterz RISE of LEGION 30	Posted - 2013.02.20 19:04:00 - [12] - Quote My ONLY REAL issue with HMG is that it's just as accurate as a AR from mid-long range. I don't mind that bullets from the gun can actually hit from far away. I just think it's MAD ******** that a guy can shoot a 100lb gun straight as a arrow from mid-long range good enough to rival somebody carrying a 15lb gun. Makes absolutely NO sense. If CCP wants to be MAG just call it MAG2 and let HMG put scope on their gun and snipe wit them like you could with Valor with M60.
M3DIC 2U RED COLONIAL MARINES Covert Intervention 13	Posted - 2013.02.20 20:43:00 - [13] - Quote hit indicator goes red when in range Most damage occurs at optimal range which is not your max range.

Just because your getting hitmarkers doesn't mean you are doing 100% damage, HMG doesn't have that good of range, if you are too far away your bullets are nothing more than mosquito bites to whoever you are shooting at.

Bringing real life to DUST...(facepalm) CCP why is there even clones in this game? In real life people aren't immortal ya know!

If CCP ever introduces some kind of delay for a heavy getting out of a LAV, they should use this video as a template to animate the cause of the delay. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXyrr6OWd3Y

No, the're the first publicly using it in open beta, i knew people using it back in July last year
Talruum Tezztarozza Seituoda Taskforce Command Caldari State 73	Posted - 2013.02.20 21:53:00 - [20] - Quote It doesn't take any smart heavy long to figure out that they need to do something about their turtle speed when they need to move from place to place, especially a build or two ago that all maps aren't this CQC. I doubt anyone can take the credit of firstly introduce murder taxi to Dust.
