I believe they are.

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.

Grenades are not OP and I don't feel like they are spammed to the point that I'm always being killed by them. In fact, most games end without me having died a single death by grenade (and I play frontline assault). That said, I've always felt that Nanohives should not replenish grenades. I hate what they did to try and reduce the amount of grenade spam in Uprising, making grenades chew through Nanohives at such a high rate. Here is why:

I spawn, I play for awhile, get a handful of kills and have long since used my 3 grenades, which is fine, because they are not my primary killing tool and it doesn't concern me at all. I'm also running pretty low on ammo and I put down a Nanohive to resupply. Oh, but that's right, I can't even resupply my ammo fully because the 3 grenades that the Nanohive automatically replenishes just ate through all of the nanite clusters in 3 seconds. In this situation, I'm not even trying to spam grenades, I just want more bullets. Too bad the Nanohive doesn't know that

Seriously, it would be much better if they just removed the ability for Nanohives to resupply grenades. Then you wouldn't get totally skewed resupply cycles, there would be less spam and all of us would have to listen to Argon Gas whine about one less thing.

As someone else in this thread said, it takes a lot of SP to unlock Level 5 grenades and even more to be able to fit them on a suit without having to make unreasonable sacrifices. Yes, they should be powerful and their level of power is consistent with the prerequisites required to use them. This does not mean they are inherently OP, it just means something should be done to cut down the spamming of them. I don't think it makes sense to weaken them or reduce the initial capacity because they are being spammed. Rather, they simply should not be resupplied by Nanohives.

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?

Um...ok. This is really weird. I guess I must have missed something. Was the OP actually trolling?
I guess I wouldn't have posted in this thread if there was a dislike button.

I'm still so confused.
Are you saying "Yes, he tried to prove his argument by proving himself wrong"?

While I'm here, OP, do you realize how absolutely devastating the options to locus grenades are? If anything the Locus variety is the weakest/less impacting of the three. A couple Wyrikomis AVs tear up a vehicle worth millions of ISK. One standard flux and an entire squad of Caldari, Minmatar, or Amarr suits are at half HP or less, not to mention losing all their base equipment. You're calling out imbalance because you might get a few kills for free?

of course it must be op,i spent 1.2m, 3 week of grinding,lots of rage after i find out they nerf my underpower thukker. now my core locus.....what a bunch of loser you r all with yours nerf fest,go play hello kitty magical adventure nothing op there.so tired of nerf im almost done playing because of cry baby, one word ADDAPT,also cald logi do you know with a single flux he only got 90hp left????? it must be op. btw i never have anithing nerf yet but it **** me off that ccp listen to cry baby that cant addapt

It's a grenade. It's designed to be a one hit kill, better yet it's a futuristic grenade designed to kill anyone within its explosive shock wave.

but hey, I'm sure you're better than all of those people.

Instead of nades?!?! You use nova knives and nothing else. Because you're so ******* skilled. You're the best. Everyone who uses weapons and tactics that you disagree with? You're better than them.

...not entirely sure if serious?

Edit: That's to say I'm not sure if mis-using a comma and semi-colon in a 5-word post lambasting someone else's grammar was unintentional or meant as a joke.
