No if you were being cereal. I'm trying to stay loyal to the heavy suit but loosing faith fast. We can't out run nades for the most part we can't out hop lavs. So I'm actually serious in this suggestion I need to be able to throw AV nades and also be able to throw reg nades against infantry. If the concern is nade spam from a heavy maybe limit the slots to one set AV one set locus.
Actually Taste this is one of the times I must disagree with you. I don't think heavies need a dual nade setup.
I believe 2 things will fix heavies.
the first, and most important, is fixing armor tanking so that it is as viable as shield tanking. this solves 99% of our regular problems.
The second I believe is an interesting idea: making the HMG do 75%-100% damage to light vehicles. This would make the HMG a hard counter to pancaking and LLAVs. Don't increase effectiveness against dropsuits, dropships or HAVs. When they are introduced, make then around 50% damage versus medium attack vehicles.
Try to imagine a logi LAV driver who suddenly sees a heavy shaving off his precious vehicle's HP like a belt sander stripping paint with his .50 caliber minigun with micronuclear impact rounds. |

But the heavy suit is loosing its uniquness when a logie can tank as much HP
Well said. The truth is there is no low, middle, and high classes. Scout should be fast with low detection the logi is a medic or support, the assault is front line and versatile, the Heavy is slow death machine able to withstand both infantry and mechanical. Does this sound familiar, it should this is how each class is described by the DEV's. Ask yourself, Have I been lied to? You have as we all have and all we do is complain about this or that and it seems very few things are solved. When someone makes a suggestion as to two nade slots for a heavy, the ******ng begins from all sides. Cant we all agree to just listen and make suggestions instead of your suit is worse or better for this reason or that. Lets work together and make this game even greater and if the DEV's cant make it reality we can at least dream it. |

I guess all I'm asking is, is the heavy you thought you were playing against?
HEAVY
The Heavy dropsuit is designed to withstand concentrated small arms fire and protect the wearer from low-grade explosives. Its power-assisted exoskeleton lets the wearer use the heaviest weapons available.
What heavy dropsuits lack in mobility they make up for with incomparable defenses. Mercenaries wearing such armor have been known to survive going toe-to-toe with enemy vehicles.
And this is the weapon you wield?
A multi-barrel, rotary drive machine gun, the HMG is a singularly devastating anti-infantry weapon. Eschewing the advantages of a lighter frame in favour of stopping power, the exponentially increased heat and vibration produced by this Boundless Creation developed weapon makes it almost unbearable to fire. Yet, despite this fact, its above average hit ratio and extreme rate of fire has earned it the nickname "Death's Engine."
Unlike earlier models, the weapon requires no spool up time; rounds are expelled the instant the trigger is pressed. This comes at the cost of initially reduced accuracy as the counter-rotating drives slowly align. Once fully aligned, however, the HMG produces a pin-point stream of gunfire with unmatched killing potential.
Understood?

Weapon damage model/HMG balance: We will be monitoring weapons damage and balancing carefully. We also have a set of various incremental changes to weapons in general (not just the HMG) that are being deployed immediately. CCP Remnant will be discussing this issue in this forum thread in greater detail and holding discussions about this issue, but hereGÇÖs the TL;DR version: In the next hot-fix weapons will all get a 10% damage increase to compensate for the removal of the Weaponry skill bonus. GÇó HMG damage buffed to 18 HP (including aforementioned 10% increase) and given a 5% dispersion buff. GÇó In the near future, we will address range issues by removing the hard stop that currently takes place at maximum weapon range. The updates to this are going out right now as I type this. You can analyze details of this using this spreadsheet here we provided from what launched May 6th with Uprising deployment, to this new one we are providing right now with all the updates here. |

2nd Grenade slot ? Why ? The main thing heavies need is more base HP. And a slight tweak to their turn speed. Purpose of tanks is to to swallow damage. Which they dont at the moment. |

Go toe to toe against vehicles?

Swallow damage? Better than a Cal logi?

Disagree.
Being slow is our achilles heel. Keeps us balanced.
If they fix damage from LAV's impacting suits somehow we will all be better off. Perhapsdo a percentage of damage based on speed of the vehicle capped out at "x" damage. And perhaps allow kills on suits with lower hp but faster movement/jump and those with the ability to avoid the LAV in the first place. Heavies inability to avoid LAV's is our slow speed, which is a counter to our high HP, and we have these HP which means nothing when being run over by murdertaxi. Rock, paper, where is the scissor?
Heavies can eat a locus nade for bfast and keep it moving. Flux gndaes leave us vulnerable for ~ 10 seconds before our shields start coming back, unless you run regulators. But we still have about 506-900 lolarmor HP after that. Given the current state of armor, and it's numerous drawbacks (explosives and speed reduction) it creates a double edged sword. I fear flux nades more than locus tbh.
Adjust movement in general, LAV's, armor. That's what I would like to see tweaked.
Overall Heavies ain't that bad right now, we have seen worse and better days. |

Heavies need two nade slots I think 1 slot is enough, but just my opinion. Respecting your opinion but why? Do you play as a heavy?
1. You would only be able to throw one grenade at a time; stacking multiple AV nades wouldn't make you survive a single "road kill moment" are more effectively - it just makes you stay on the field longer when you do survive (without a resupply). By the same token, stacking multiple AP grenades would have the impact of making you even more butch when defending objectives, effectively giving you what I would see as a 50% power upgrade since each nade has the ability to taking out multiple targets at once. 2. Sentinels already have extra HP to get them to stay in the battle longer past a single engagement. 3. By design, the Sentinel suit is meant to defend areas, and not move from objective to objective; if the primary concern is getting from objective to objective safely (and not be roadkill), there are other mechanics already built into the game to help you do so - specifically your own LAV. Deployment times for vehicles is now about 3 seconds instead of 15-30, so the delay in deployment is negligible 4.Additional slots will unbalance the suit making it harder to kill. Given that this is one of the harder suits to kill as is (I've fought against you, and seen what you can do alone, not to mention when you are paired up with one of your friends or another heavy), there would have to be something to compensate for the added power you wield. What would you propose doing to offset the extra power bump you are getting for a fairly balanced suit? You don't have an equipment slot to lose. Would you give up the sidearm perhaps?
I have played heavy, admittedly not recently. I joined the beta in May 2012, so I can say with confidence that the current iteration of the Sentinel is the most balanced as it stands. (leaving HMG out of the equation - which by the way if you are suggesting this as a way to offset the recent downgrade in HMG I think this is the wrong way to do so - kudos to thinking outside the box for this issue though).
Hope that explains my reasoning - let me know if you disagree with this and why. I am open to changing my opinion if given a reason to do so - especially since you are suggesting this change in good faith, and sine I respect your gameplay.
