team mates.

You can't take away range, and take away dmg the same time and call that balance.

Well thank you for the offer but I shall have to decline and search for a potato or something.

So, you are expecting this thread to cause CCP to change the game for thousands.... when you have to double space between each person to make it look like a noticeable amount? Riiiight.

I would prefer they stuck to looking at game habits and statistics instead of going off of a heart wrenching feels post.

All this qq is a bit too early. Should be saved until a few days after May 6th.

If people complain about it the day of release, you would say "wait longer to gather more information"
If people complain about it three weeks later, you would say "wait for the next build"
If people complain about the next build, you say "its not even here yet wait until it comes out"

Theres the trend on the forums for you.

If we see a problem NOW, we should post it NOW so it doesnt come as a complete shocker and surprise kick to the face, and CCP can work to fix it...

If you can read, make inferences and judge based on past experience then you can make reasonable assumptions about the game and post your concerns.

lol AR got pretty much the same nerf but the cost of our weapon didn't decrease. :/ I thought most people agreed the HMG was OP anyways. You still have 1k hp now your suites cost the same as assaults.

Suit prices don't count, they should have never been that high in the first place. If I sell you a steaming pile of crap for 100k and then bring it down to 1K, would that makes things any better? No I'm still trying to sell you crap. Not saying heavies are crap, but I'm sure you get the point.

lol 1K? Okay, lets see... 1012.5, our old max with type-IIs(cause that's what they are) was 930. Absolutely brilliant, 82.5 HP, that's about 2 shots from a Duvolle right? They did give it the reduced speed of a type-I though, but all in all that's not so bad.

Then slot layout, lets see.. We can no longer stack shield extenders, pretty useless on a heavy anyway. We can no longer stack damage mods, that's pretty pretty much ruins the only perk to armor tanking. Lets look at the positives now, we can stack more armor plates than ever before... at the cost of whats left of our mobility, and "lol armor", so that's not all that good. We can use more Armor Aeppers and Kinetic catalizers, that's something I guess.

And then the HMG... they cut range, which basically guarantees that ARs will always out range them, and they're going to cut who knows how much damage.. aside from taking our damage mods

lol, so don't come here talking about a class you've obviously never used, which I'm guessing is everything that isn't an Assault suit with an AR

The heavies I play who actually strafe

[a shield tanked assault player shooting at you with 3+ dmg mods.

cool, a list of CoD kids thinking they should be able to kill everything from accross the map with the HMG

proto HMG has an optimal range of 40m
proto AR has an optimal range of 39m

HMG low range? cool story bro

if you want to see what is low range, try out the SMG, 15m optimal range. that is low range. pretty obvious that some people have no clue what they are talking about when they say that HMG has low range.

anyway, you will still do more damage than anyone up close

Some people just don't understand what the role of a heavy is. You are not slayers, you are bullet sponges, tanks, distraction, the ones who supress, the ones who take the damage while the killers do the killing, if my word is not enough, go ahead and pay a visit to the class description. Wait untill you play the build and judge afterwards if you are underpowered or not. And also, thanks for calling me a noob, I love you too. Adapt or die.

You are clearly lost. Please read the class descriptions again.

Sentinels are trained and equipped to neutralize vehicular threats on the battlefield. Often the last line of defense, they never flinch and never retreat.

Heavy suits will cost the same as their assault/scout/Logistics variants. The weapons have had the same price re balancing.

It is obviously saying defense. You are lost, very lost.

And that line is a chokepoint, "camping" as you said yourself before. Here's one for you aswell, all yours.
