Nerf Argon Gas, he's not reactive enough and doesn't play well with others.

Rarely do I die by grenade, typically they are not primed and they are easy to evade.

Grenade throwing distance is limited to that of a midget (no offence to midgets) so unless you are playing tag they serve a tactical purpose. Adapt please.

I would prefer if locus grenades came in 2s instead of 3s, but I find their fuse times a good balancing technique. The more time it takes to cook a grenade, the less DPS it has.

1. The blast radius on my core is far from 7.2 it's more like 3.1 maybe they got radius and diameter mixed up. 2. Fitting a grenade isn't easy. I need Eng and Elec 5 with a complex cpu mod and explosives 4 to fit everything I run. 3. You mean the grenade that cost me 1.2m sp? About 2 proto weapons worth? And half a protosuit, that **** better be op. 3. You can only spam nades with protohives which are also a pain in the ass to fit unless thats all you aim for.

This line made me chuckle for the first time today.

Made me laugh when I thought about how few people would actually understand it.

Only if the MD gets its damage set back to 80/120 and the explosion has a normal fall off from the center. Grenades are my only counters to MDs and most of the time 1 is not enough.

Aren't these grenades from Replication?

You know... the build where Heavies could tank close to 2000 armor...
had Scout suits with enough ehp to rival the proto Caldari suits we have now...
And Assault suits that would kill you with a glance?

:P




Oh, and everything had 2x the base speed too.

Congrats welcome aboard the noonecareswedoittootrain. That's a legit tactic whats the problem? Did you forget its an explosive?

Get in a militia suit and see what a militia locus grenade will do to you. They kill you instantly.

Now get in a proto suit and see what a core locus grenade will do to you. It kills you almost instantly. Grenades are balanced exactly how they should be, Proto grenades are designed to take out proto suits, with the added shields and speed that proto suits can apply. When you are against equipment similar to your own, fire fights aren't supposed to take longer than they do at militia level.

They do, and they should. Grenades are working as intended.




I don't know what you're doing but kills do not take time in this game. Forge guns can kill you instantly. ARs can kill you in 2-3 seconds, SARs are the same. Lasers melt your face off in seconds. Sniper rifles take you out in 1-2 seconds. Shotguns can kill you in 2-3 seconds.

Grenades take 5 seconds to kill. I'm sensing a disparity in the time battles last here.

Cod and bf3 suck. I played those game because it was supposed to be war in video game form. boy was I wrong. This game is different. It actually lets you be a true grenadier. Unlike fair field 3 and call of balance. if you want a fair game just go play sports. This is a war game and it will stay that way.

I say 1-2 nades. No restock from nanohives. Only supply depo's. Even with the supply depo only get 1 restock of the set. Even if you switch out no more nades until you die.

They work, so therefore they are overpowered. SIgh................

You said it yourself, everyone has access to them, so how does that give anyone an unfair advantage?

So is everyone supposed to just unload their AR clip into eachother? Strafe around in circles maybe?
Locus Grenades are tools. Very good tools. They work very well. And the best part is that they aren't extremely situational.

So shooters were designed to be like something of the british red coats who stood in a line, fired their weapons, and then return to the back of the ranks while the next line fired and the enemy did as well?

Yea, we see how long that tactic worked for.

You don't "spam" grenades. If you thinking to throw a grenade into a crowd, that isn't spamming, that's smart playing. But a good team recognizes this and stay loose. Even communicating to the entire squad that a grenade is out.

......JL has been in this game for a VERY long time. Prolly as long as I have, and I've been here since the beginning of LAST August. People who have been here this long HAVE seen it all, HAVE been victimized by stuff like this (and FAR worse, Codex Missile Crisis anyone?), HAVE seen how OP things can get, and have a VERY firm grasp of how things in the game balance out. Don't assume that because someone disagrees with your point of view that they haven't talked to people who have been or HAVE BEEN THEMSELVES the person who get's swamped by BS like grenade spamming.

Grenades are at a good point right now. They could possibly do with a longer fuse length (SLIGHTLY longer) or perhaps some longer restock delay (1 grenade per 3-4 nanohive pulses), but there is no need for the draconian nerf you are calling for.

Grenade spamming isn't OP, there just needs to be some more options available to people to counter the tactic. I personally am looking forward to portable shield generators for this very reason.
