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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

Great rebuttal kid, couldn't even refute even one of my statements. You've already been exposed as a crybaby who's mad that everyone runs from him while continues to spray and runs out of ammo, boooo hoooo, BUFF ME. I'm done with you nerd.

I would be perfectly happy with the 100% cpu upgrade that ALL other protos get, and another low slot. as well as dmg mods being fixed

3 high 2 low for proto at the crazy price just doesnt add up. (which is only 1 more high from either advanced)

and half a clip for 1 kill? practice aim bud ;-)

learn your range, and lay off the trigger when your target takes cover.. HMG isnt supposed to shoot thru walls

NERD

You're most likely diabetic, suffer from as asthma and fatter than your heavy suit in real life, come at me bro.

Wish I had links to all the threads where the old school heavies have been saying this since day one.

i will agree with 4447 on his first post on this thread. I have been noticeing that my b-series isnt very good in terms of compeating with other suits, even now that the ptw proto suits are out. Also in reguards the HMG is fine where it is in terms of DMG but the suit i do thinks needs a bit of a buff in terms of armor/shields. The only reasion i say this is because there are assault guys in the corp that can take there proto suit and put 500 shields and like 300 armor and there should NEVER be that close of a stat merge. i know the heavy has been neffed to make all the randoms happy but when i cant even go 1v1 anymore with a AR i gotta look back and say wtf an AR can 1v1 me now makeing my heavy kinda useless and furthermore heavys i know that play the class very well are changeing there class even after 4mil sp has been put into it. the only thing i would really like to see is the progressive stats put back into all the suits so as to where when i lvl up from say standard suit to advanced there is also a bigger armor/shield pool to draw from just like they had it on the 1-4 build in closed bete. the armor heavy took a 400 point hit to its stats then and as much as that sucked we delt with it, the fact that a assault suit can almost match a heavy in terms of armor /shields just isnt right if the heavy is suppose to be more of a "defender" class. in all honesty ill still play my heavy cause its what i do but i really hope there is a improvement to the suit because i really is geting hard to compeat with the assault suits or the scout/AR suits.

I'm not really sure about this.
I've never been sitting face down in a pool of my own blood after getting torn in half by a heavy thinking, "gee, heavies are really underpowered." Having said that, I've also cut plenty of heavies in half myself, but I always thought that was due to my range superiority on my AR, not because heavies were weak.

I think you saying that the HMG needs a buff threw a wrench into the cogs right off the start. The community is quite split on that issue atm. Also the fact that you wen't off into a couple tangents instead of sticking to "reduce the price of proto heavies" and that the title of the thread is "heavies are UP" instead of "proto heavies need a price drop" sort of threw off your intent in writing this thread as well. If you meant "proto heavies need a price drop", you should have said "proto heavies need a price drop", given a few points to show your case, and left it at that. It seems the simplest posts are the least likely to derail since this forum is so packed with immature no lifers who only want to troll.

Nah heavies are walking tanks they should have a large cost to them. They shouldnt be something you can spec into and play willy nilly they really are a specialist class. Similar to HAV's they have a high ISK cost because they can do a ton of damage.

That said been saying since the beginning Heavies need a BUFF in SUIT and a RANGE NERF in HMG. Everything else is fine.

The heavy should a BULLET SPONGE that does HIGH DPS IN CQC. Beyond this a heavy should be FAILBOT.


Also look at CB that are CQC maps, an entire squad of heavies can wreck the world. Or better yet 4 heavies. 2 MD and whatever else you want and you will destroy on CQC maps.
