I came to the same conclusion, however there might be some buffs so only May 6th will tell.

Suit prices where normalized, suits of one tier cost about the same.
Weaponry has been nerfed to 0%damage. All damage + skills except turrets and proficiency has been removed.
Armor repair skill armor plate shield extenders and booster skills all increased module effectiveness and not fittings.
Three fitting skills to max out at 15% + to CPU and pg.

There are no buffs. Heres the proof, he says only turret and turret proficeiency are keeping the extra damage. Suit prices are "normalized" wich can mean there going to be priced "fairly" (wich will unfairly be twice the cost of anything else) or stay as normal thus far (wich is so far "normal" at 3 times the cost of other suits) and our weapons are hard to fit. proto hmgs and forge guns are over 120 CPU to fit. now skills are making mods harder to to fit, so were not using proto weapons any time soon. too hard and expensive to fit!

The skills for fitting are separated by groups of modules. You can see these from sisi market.

And I'm about to come back to dust and my heavy as well D:

However, I would love for some actual information before I judge anything.
I found it hard to believe that CCP will just remove all those +dmg +range skills, where is our character customization ??

I'm holding out for more info.

I find it hard to believe they would remove the range bonuses completely.

Entirely possible its automatically applied without the need to train it.

Besides, a reduction to dispersion/kick wouldn't make much sense in the case of the HMG. It already works differently in terms of accuracy than something like the AR, as it becomes more accurate over time rather than less. Proficiency could very well be giving a different kind of bonus altogether.

AFAIK all proficiency skills keep the damage bonus. This change really hangs on an increase in slots and fitting resources for heavies.

Confirm/Deny?

e: Also SISI doesn't show anything besides descriptions. No info on specific stat changes.

Not a skill; just a change in base stats.

You know... Like heavies having more than 2 low slots in Uprising.

Aaaah... I don't know man. I'm waiting on the patch notes for confirmation on things mentioned above.

That's why I asked, in hopes that Iron Wolf could spread some light

Range isn't getting nerfed. Heavys should have all the range they do now, when the new HMG sharpshooter is skilled properly. The sharpshooter change has nothing to do with reducing the range of any weapon. It is simply swapping the current function of sharpshooter (bullet flight time increase) for a dispersion decrease given a max posible range. Functionally, there should be very very little difference between how the skill works now and how it will work post uprising.

I specifically asked if the suit was getting any modified slot count and Iron Wolf did not answer. That means the dev did not answer because he dident want to give bad news to the heavys. If they were making the suit better than the devs would have answered cuz that would make the players happy. He dident asnwer so its nothing positive

That's some really heavy duty tinfoil you're wearing. Shame it's all aluminium and not actual tin.

Call it what you like. There is ZERO hope for the heavy and ive laid the proof there for you. Argue about the facts, the "CCP rebalencing the heavy suit" but thats how their doing it^^^ you say im wearing foil. I say im being realistic
