HMG needs a buff.

Lol no, but the Advanced and Proto suits do.

Even that black colour of PRO isn't intimidating these days. Poor fatties; at least you got promise that CCP 'will look' upon your class, so you might hope. We Scouts shall keep strafing in mud until indefinite.

The game has come to be play to win because of the cost of money items to ISK items. I can't compete because of it would cost me more ISK to go Proto and i would go bankrupt. The best i can do is advance and if i loss 3 suits a game i'm losing money.

I would put money into the game but, theres nothing to buy at this point of time...

Coming to my point i've notice that my heavy is becoming less useful in battle. I use to be able to take 2 to 3 people before i die and now it's hopefully one,Now it's not all the time but it is shafting to my heavy being useless.

I want to compete CCP but this game is not letting me.

So you can't afford to run Proto Heavy all the time?
Simple solution: Don't use it all the time.

Bring a cheap(er) Heavy suit at the beginning of a match. If it looks like you're going to do well, and having that little bit extra would be an advantage, bring your best gear the next time you spawn in. If you're looking like it's still going to make you a profit and will benefit the team, keep running with it. If you look like you're going to start losing money, stop running the expensive fitting and drop back to a cheaper one. If you've been barely covering costs (or failing to do so), run several matches with only cheap/free gear to effectively grind for ISK and get yourself back on track.

But you can't spec into to proto unless you want to go bankrupt.

It's not the point because if i spec into assault i could run proto gear all the time.

Lol no, but the Advanced and Proto suits do.

lol yeah right, it's called people adapting to the Heavy's Bullshit.

A heavy can still easily taking out someone within their CQC range, protosuit or not. Don't you dare try and BS and call your suit underpowered because you're dying a lot more often than when the game was brand new and everybody was behind in terms of fire power and match-up knowledge compared to the heavy.

There has been no change to the heavy other than it needs to be tweaked so it doesnt outway all other classes. So stop your whining.

A heavy can still easily take out 1-2 people within their CQC range, protosuit or not. Don't you dare try and BS and call your suit underpowered because you're dying a lot more often than when the game was brand new and everybody was behind in terms of fire power and match-up knowledge compared to the heavy.

Crying for a buff because now the protosuits are killing you, pathetic, when does it end? You heavy's are just always going to want an easy mode advantage. Can't wait till your HMG's Laser Rifle range gets nerfed so you can cry about that too.

It's not easy because they have chance to run and i've used half of my ammo.

WHAT!? HTFU!!!

You serious? What a crybaby thread, you have a 1000 bullet Clip and your complaining about using HALF your ammo, and the redberries can run away from you. Guess what, the Redberries can run away from anybody and everybody runs out of ammo you douche, you're too used to the easy mode you were happily accustomed too during the early days of open beta, those days are over you my friend Stop expecting all your kills to be handed to you on a silver platter!

So what you're saying is that it's fine for Proto Heavies to be underpowered because it somehow balances out the fact that low-tier Heavies are OP (pro-tip: they aren't, you just suck at countering heavies)?

Do you even know how a HMG works? So my HMG should go toe to toe and use half my clip for one guy?

He talks but i don't see no one at my door.

And why are you sounding so mad? Did you get molested by an HMG recently?

I'm always angry, rough childhood, so I'm a little fked up, I know.

The gun is fine, when you take a Gastuns for a spin, all is right with the world of HMG. Am eager to take the Freedom Assault out for a spin later today.

The proto suit doesn't look worth it at all from where I am sitting. Better to invest heavily into heavy weapon upgrade and the last two levels of HMG proficiency before I even think about going proto.

A Type heavy with a boundless, dual extenders and dual basic plates is a real tank, and although another extender would increase the fun, it doesn't really justify the extra cost, especially when I still have only one level into heavy weapon upgrade and two more levels of circuitry to do.

Proto for shield heavies might be a bit better, because i would assume the higher CPU costs require more output, but for an armor heavy, stopping at advanced isn't hurting your game, even without AUR.

The Armor proto needs another low slot, and the shield proto needs a price drop, and maybe trade a low slot for another high.

I don't care about scouts because it's rock paper scissors.
