And btw, go ahead and continue to sell your fantasy CCP hates heavies, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

Overall doing placeholders would be like painting and repairing siding on a house before tearing it down and going in and replacing the siding with bricks.

It's more work for what it is not worth. Should have done the bricks thing in the first place.

You've been here how long? And you expect basic content in this game?

Lmao, good one bro.

Less about colors more about shapes advertising what you are and what you are doing and what threats you are likely mostly going to provide. Color is typically the worst advertiser in Dust 514 and when you start throwing in adaptive colors (color that match the environment) or custom colors well the whole idea goes out the window of using recolors.

Also in better design you wouldn't just be a heavy player but a specific race's heavy, there are quite a few assaults who only identify themselves as one race just right now you guys are lacking some choices however, and despite if given a second option you guys would still be undervalued for having a crappy HMG, being slow as molasses, and not enough utilization of what extremely few slots you guys get to be topped off with an entirely effing useless skill for a weapon that doesn't exist yet. I rather get these fixed and addressed. So when they finally do add a second, third or fourth option you won't be sitting there antagonizing as to why all four races heavies are gawd awful and making you wonder why you even picked heavy anything in the first place.

Things for the heavies needs to improve in a very balanced manner on all fronts.

From what I'm told on IRC - Us being upset about what's been said in my OP makes us 'entitled' and 'spoiled'

They want to concentrate on fixing what they broke in uprising and don't have the money or time to deal with us fatties.

Smh.

Anyone that uses Light frame suits could make the same argument, really.

Not really I hardly notice the difference when forge gunning an armor drop ship or a shield dropship.

Yeah I wished they would swap sentinel and commando suit bonuses they seem to fit each other a hell lot better.

Is it even confirmed that the only thing that holds heavies back is the art department?

To put placeholders into the game we first need them to be essentially finished in design apart from art and i haven't seen anything that suggests that.
