What is the ETA of new heavy weapons? and/or their current level of development? (DEV reply please)
[begins to beat dead horse] So there's been a lot of complaining about commando (myself included), but part of the problem is Heavies are regularly shafted in terms of content, and this suit MAKES us spec into light weapons (not that i dont have a SCR already). Assault rifles have ALL their place holders as stated by CCP. Where are Heavy Weapon Anit-Infantry placeholders? Light weapons have swarms, plasma(lol)cannon, and Mass-driver (kind of a stretch) for AV. Plus lighter suits get AV nades. We have just the forge gun for AV. It cant be just me that sees this as biased. i havent even heard mention of other Heavy weapons. I LOVE playing heavy but how about some variety for us that isnt a fail souped-up assault?

The roadmap dev blog is supposed to drop either today or tomorrow.
Let us see what is on there first, then we can burn this mother down if they ignore the heavies.
My heavy alt is dying for a chance to use some sort of magazine fed grenade launcher or laser HMG. |

Rainbows of death maybe.
Besides, who doesn't want to see a 1500 RPM light show that cuts Caldari and minmatar down like blades of grass? |

Just give 'em small turrets for the time being. The CPU/PG usage is roughly suited already, & they're shite anyway, so no OP whines. |

Agreed. If we had more Heavy weapons HMG would be balanced in terms of a "Heavy weapon". Right now all other primarily anti infantry weapons are light weapons. Therefore HMG is essentially a light weapon.
HMGs deserve a bit more range and more damage at CQC to compensate for Heavy's slow speed and turn speed. |

Hey, my choices matter. I just happen to choose to build around CCPs design tendencies, since all the styles I genuinely enjoy are in the **** hole right now, have been for a long time, and will continue to be for many more months to come.
It's amazing I'm not in an LLAV right now |

A dev has not commented on anything heavy related since the HMG fiasco at the start of Uprising.
I said this before, and I'll continue to say it, CCP doesn't care about heavies. The masses play as assault / logi (caldari logi to be exact) to they're focusing on making them happy. They just added ANOTHER shield module that's coming next update.
Heavies?? lol... you guys take the Commando suit, trololol |

If the suit is OP(even though the AR+cal logi is more powerful than a gun that fires orbitals) then you'll have a head start |

Unofficially all racial equivalent stuff, new roles, and new equipment are on the backburner for the next 6 months. That doesn't mean it won't get done cooking within the next 6 months but its no longer the primary focus of the studio.
Teams that work on the content are through likely to be only to be able to do that content so they're probably going to continue to plug away at it slowly while the development focuses on the core of the game. |

It may seem counter intuitive, but we cannot rely on modern technology to tell us how weapons in a video game should be balanced.
If gameplay were realistic, frontline rifles would have the range of snipers, we'd generally be able to one-shot tanks, and the kinetic energy from a swarm missile impact would be enough to turn the pilot to mush. |

it's cool they're working on the core gameplay... but 6 months (give or take a couple)... 
If we already had a couple races / variations then I would say alright, but we have 1 race, and 2 variations, one of which is a light weapon heavy.
Comes back to who cares about heavies, they're a minority. |

I am not saying new stuff won't come in the next six months though, its just no longer a focus when so much of the rest of the game needs dire need of help. |

just tossing ideals ok heavys are supposed to be squad support right .. right think of those as area denile weapons they done have to be super powerful but a little longer range than the hmg way slower rate of fire semi auto ." hey guy on A" turn look adjust range launch guy gets the **** out of dodge ... hallway inside one of you 5 of them (usualy how i meet my end ) thoonk thoonk thoonk i die but i take most of them down to bare nothing get my assists and maybe one or 2 kills |
