boundless nerfed to less dmg than the basic HMG.... awesome


THEN only give u 1 high slot... even better

at LEAST with 4 low slots u might not die as fast...

I would like for you to try it first because according to the numbers you should be downing about a squad a reload.

well u still get the 3% increase per level of proficiency.

Im not home so no clue how bad range is now...

1 dmg mod can get it to those levels but the kicker is assault scrubs with 5 shield extenders...

have to see I guess

I don't get it. I don't get the reason for such a drastic nerf.

the damage goes from 15.4 to 17.71

So basically you're wasting those points on a proficiency skill that can be used much better elsewhere.

The heavy was never supposed to be a "better" assault suit. It was always supposed to be more of a mobile gun platform. Personally I thought nerfing range and dmg was probably a little much with the removal of SS as well. But at the same time I cant feel sorry for the same ppl who only responded to the AR nerf with HTFU even though the complaint about the horrible ADS sight was legit. So I guess if I was really to be the same as you guys I would just saw HAHAHAHAHAH HTFU. But I wont. I would say the dmg nerf with the other 2 changes probably was too much for this gun. Personally I would have waited to see if the range change itself was enough to balance out this gun (which was OP despite what some of you tried to say).

you DO realize I have well over 14 million SP right?

I protoed everything hmg wise and it has a horrible range nerf! The heavy suits seem to be much better.
But the hmg needs some help.

For someone who doesn't play the class to have an opinion in favor of the heavy shows the nerf was too much at the same time. Yea I'm against the nerf, who's playing this game currently that would LIKE a nerf to their class.

But looking at this as objectively as possible, nerfing both range and dmg, the dmg by so much in particular is a lil too much.

Just when I came to grips with the nerf, I see these numbers. Not saying a heavy is suppose to be a slayer, but a heavy is suppose to at least KILL. @ 17.1 it was a challenge.... at 15.4 what is this gonna be? A failure? We'll see. I'm sure other heavies will post their experiences, but looking at what I'm seeing, it doesn't seem right.

Oh i'm Terribly sorry. I didn't realise you were so amazing and outstanding.
Do you want a goddamn gold sticker?

you say 'wasting' and honestly I have to laugh.

you DO realize I have well over 14 million SP right?

I don't see it as 'wasting' anything as I will have everything I had last night (except MAYBE lvl 5 nades... we'll see how it plays out with added multiplier for armor and such)

I also cant wait to log in to see if I become the wealthiest player on the game too ;-)

by my calculations I should be sitting on close to a billion isk.. from my assets

I will guess by the suit bonus,
Amarr heavy suit is balanced for heavy laser weapon we don't have yet
and HMG is balanced for Minmatar heavy suit that will have range bonus and damage bonus.
Seems like it is balanced taking in account things we don't have yet, and therefore unbalanced till we have them.

In mean time heavies with laser and scrambler will get bonus from suit to overheat damage reduction.

Hope heavy players get the other suits and weapons soon, kinda sucks for them in mean time.

I have been informed by initial reports that HMGs are murdering people. tighter bullet spread which explains the damage nerf. hit detection appears to be fixed. Initial reports indicate that the HMG seems to be working as intended.

Now start screaming about how it's unfair that we got nerfed or something. Because we all know you want to.
