heavies: we a viable class for once? or still the gimps of eve?

My fielding of the heavy felt the same in terms of effectiveness, the new HMG effect does make it hard to see the field though but the effect is still nearly the same in cutting squads down. When outnumbered the heavy does down very quick as expected but overall it didn't feel nerfed or buff relatively. However as a heavy I fear the Flaylock. While the HMG can out-range it, it certainly feels it cannot out damage it.

Grenades: any changes?

What's the Flaylock Pistol like against shields and armor?

FG: getting back any range? or still the ugly duckling rail gun that can't shoot **** at range (seeing as the derpships have a much higher cyling, this is a HUGE concern)

collison dmg and driving physics

What sorts of dropsuits are available as militia tier? is it only the basics (light, medium, heavy), or do the specialized ones have militia tier versions as well?
Which weapons have militia variants?
What are the starter fits? are the starter fit suits based on your race?
What are the basic suits like compared to their specialized counterparts? For example, what slots and stats does a basic suit have? How is the heavy compared to the sentinel?
EDIT: I also noticed the assault variant of the scrambler rifle isn't available in standard tier, is this the same for other weapons and their variants?

can u shoot down swarms?
new structures?
active scanners usefulness?
new maps feel?
new skyboxes?

There's no cloaking yet. lol

KITTEN YES!
I'm sorry. I was truly concerned about getting stuck in a male model as the amarr heavy. \o/

Can you give me information on all 3 new suits, specifically the Gallente Assault and Amarr Assault.

I'm confused why isn't the flaylock something you shoot, then press a button to blow up? 1 ammo at a time, remote mine thrower basically. But can only do damage to dropsuits, not enough to kill LAVs/Tanks/Buildings.

yet not ONE bloody new heavy suit

and what do you mean by "rebalanced"? more hp, speed? seeing as everything else i have read here and elsewhere has made it seem we STILL are useless

it's a bloody mini-FG

Is it only the Amarr still though, or are all the races getting theirs? If it's just the Amarr, do you know if they intend to refund SP for racial suits when they put in the rest?

Would you yourself consider uprising as going back to its strafing FPS roots as intended, or has it fallen further into the twitch gaming arcade style of CoD?

Oh okay ty then. I hope they keep armor as the slow damage dealers. This feel of two damage abosrbing methods is unique to dusy514 and something i love about eve. I was thinking for months and theory crafting what they might do if the rebalance armor tanking xD. I predict alot of people going to minmatar then.

Further questions.
Do specific suits have a benefit to using there race specific suit ? For instance the amarr armor has low speed so a longer range weapon makes sense. That isn't what im asking though is there a suit bonus like 3% to gallente assault or something.

Further along this line of questioning would be does the amarr gun and its fitting requirements make it easier to fit on race specific suits. For instance maybe it has a heft cpu price compared to the assault seeing as the armor items require less cpu then shield items.

da ****!?!??

why would the ammar heavy be best for laser rifle? was SUPPOSED to be HMG/FG last i checked. or did we just become obsolete in that regard?


even though, you know, we're the only ones.....that...can...use them....

only place i've ever heard of a lazer cannon, so assumed he meant lazer rifle

no trees, plenty of grass and bushes.

Shotguns? Range, damage?

Shotguns sound like harbringers of death now.

Damage is still the same.

Spread is a bit different as well as the range but if you operate a shotgun normally not much changed.

Well shield tanks be balanced with armor tanks?

What is the sentinel dropsuit is it like the heavy or is it something else.

Jesus of all that is Heavy! there is N-O-T-H-I-N-G that shows the heavy is going to stand a chance here. in fact, i dare say i dident see anything about a bonus for heavys. jeeze... we are forsaken

I could have swore when I saw those photos from SiSi the Ammar Heavy had a -3% heavy weapon reload speed per level while the Ammar Sentinel had the percentage reduction to "blowback damage" (not sure of the wording), or for example damage taken from overheating a laser rifle or Scrambler rifle. I'm positive I saw someone taking damage from overheating their charge fire variant during the PVP finals.

To all the heavies crying around : i have a 1M SP heavy and still mow down type b infantry when playing it smart.
The more i play with the HMG the more i'm amazed some people dare cry about it... Knowing that i use standard everything. and have no SS skill yet...

Anyway, back to uprising build. The slots layout have changed and you all have more base HP. Plus, with the Sharpshooter being gone, you'll take way less damage from distance.

Wait till the build is out before crying all over the place.

By the way, i'm uploading a video that goes throughout all of Uprising's new UI. Showing every proto suits, hav, dropships, skills attributes and fitting options. Being uploaded so stay tuned.
