Something got me thinking- Instead of letting players choose their own path, CCP- you guys forced players on a defensive role. Basically to sit there and take damage, but not give damage to others... Making them more of a tank, but less of an effective attacker. They were fine last build. Currently the HMG is garbage, I tested it, ( I ran past a heavy and got these results)-
know that the Boundless is the only effective HMG
- Me-

- The heavy-

Now the heavy is a proto with a boundless proto HMG.
Me on the other hand is running a proto Amarr medium basic suit

- I run passed the heavy and on full armor and health, I die within less then 3 sec..


Now back on topic
And what had happen was- lots of players have changed their role. Going from a Heavy too a Logi, or Heavy too an assault etc etc....


So my question to you- (Not the players)- but to YOU AKA- (CCP) why force players to a defensive role?

And what you want exactly ? a rocket in you a$$, so you can rush around like a scout ?

Is not pleasing this Heavies ... they always want more...

Please sir !! can i have some more !?!?

If a Heavy would use an AR, he could rush into situations. With an HMG, not so much. Heavy got buffed, HMG got nerfed.

He was supposed to die in 1 second. Not anymore.

Sentinel is a defensive specialization. They will be adding more heavy specializations for offensive players, just hold your horses.

So are you guys scared of having competition to the AR ?

Shotguns are better at close range, sniper rifles have a better distance, HMGs have a higher rate of fire which gives them better DPS, and laser rifles tear through shields like a rock through wet paper
ARs are better than the sidearms sure but arent superlative in one area like each of the others they are just decent all around and it takes a good player to make them shine

So stop whining "Boo hoo the mean AR man killed me" and step your game up

So are you guys scared of having competition to the AR ?

^Has never used an HMG.

They AR is kitten horrible... seriously, you should try it and see for you self.

Currently i can only use the Tactical, because the GEK-38 recoil is just plain stupid, and the range is even worst, i can't out range a Scout anymore, specially with their supersonic speed.

LMAO

This thread is pathetic. You scrubs need to jump into a fat suit and compare your success to the AR. I did - I tried out the AR - wow is it way better. You guys QQ about nothing sometimes.

Get a real reason to cry like we do then get on our level. We got nerf because of your tears and now we're giving them back.

You try the GEK-38 ? ... how so? you spend SP points in Light Guns and Rifle Skills ?... or you just lying to prove you point ?

Have actually and at a distance yes it does suck but at a close range or if you want to keep the enemy pinned down its great, personally though I cant stand the slow movement speed on a heavy suit

It's called an alt. Some of us have nearly 10 different PSN's actively farming passive SP. *cough*

How do you think I can post when I'm supposed to be banned for a month? :3

So we have to wait, for how long? While everyone else gets to do whatever because they already have their other suits.

So let me get this right, you had full shields and armor on a proto suit and still died in seconds and somehow that means HMGs are garbage?
So what, do you want to be instagibbed by everything that so much as looks at you funny?

You can post with you other Alts in your account....I should know, i got banned too.

As a non heavy I think you are looking a this the wrong way mate. We have this great Heavy in Dead Six, he is great at his job and really likes playing Dust and its sad to say that he does feel useful anymore.

Heavies used to be the guys that led the way and were the haft of the spear but now they are somewhat relagated to base defence play, however in Dust people get rewarded for agressive play and not defensive play.

I used to like how heavies could switch between offensive and defensive play ....but now they are somewhat hampered in their ability to dish out damage.

I would love to see players pick up he HMG again and feel needed in game.

How dramatic... let me put some sad music on for you.

Heavies still have their role in Dust 514, just not the "Destroyer of the Word" role, but a team support role, like it should be.

LOL You call me BS then lie this badly? GTFO. The ACCOUNT is banned - not the toon - all the toons are unable to post.

You are more stupid than i thought....

Explain?

"You're dumb!" Seems legit.

Keep lying to yourself - you seem good at doing it to others. :3

It just come to show, what "mentality" heavies have....let my guess... you are 15 years old, right ?

Ohhh this is fun... carry on please. Do you ever hear the expression :

"digging your own grave"

Care to explain that as well or are you going to dodge another question?

Nahh, i'm to tired now... hopefully one day you will understand.

Thanks for the fun anyway... was a good ROFL.
