Grenades are unbalanced at present since a OHK weapon tells folks why bother to shoot.

I.e. I was in proto testing out a fit and a squad of enemy were running towards me and instead of shooting they spammed grenades.

I wonder if this will be fixed since its just murder taxis, grenade spam and electrical grenades aka forge guns.

Anywho PS4 is getting here and my fix for Dust 514 for Today is to play Fallout New Vegas.

LOL, my speed tanked minmitar logistics suits primary weapon is the remote explosive... its funny that nobody uses this as a primary.

Did your Proto suit have any kind of HP increasing modules (Armour Plates/Shield Extenders)?
If so, were they Proto as well, or just the suit itself?
What kind of suit are you running?
What tier of Locus Grenade was used?

Just because you have a "Proto" suit, doesn't mean you have more HP than a Militia suit. Especially if you're a Proto Scout with Damage Mods and a Shotgun and no Armour Plates because SPEED.

Also, people only carry 2 - 3 Locus Grenades at once, and require Nanohives if they want more than that.

Quit standing still, if I die form a nade it's cus it was well primed and well thrown. I don't die from nades very often. I also rarely use more than a Sever logi suit with less than 400 HP.

Grenades are designed to OHKO infantry.

so...

Jump?

Heres a tip: don't bunch up with the blueberries, they all like to crowd together in tight spaces, and as such the first thing the rasberries think is"oh **** chuck nades at the crowd!!!" as they should. Massdrivers and FGs and nades are all explosive, and the dust mentality is to bunch up, and do so behind cover. Thats why theyre effective, thats why people are b1tching.

Stop playing catch with the person throwing it.

Hello Superman,

I know you think because you have been given all the best equipment and training in the world makes you invincible.

I would like to state that is not the case, a bullet with your name on it will still kill you.

Gives just as much benefit to a Militia suit.

Complex Shield WHAT though? And how many? And what suit was this on? And what tier of grenade was the target using? And did they have a huge wall of Nanohives swarming all around them to let them "spam" grenades? Or were they running out of grenades and about to start using their main weapon if they didn't get lucky?

I have no respect for people who use locus grenades and know that they are bad.

MLT Suits Have Lower base eHP values. Standard through prototype all have the same base eHP values.

MK-0 five complex shield extenders one complex kincat, complex stamina death by militia locus grenade...lol.

Its lolworthy when folks BEGIN the encounter by spamming grenades instead of shooting...lol.

Yes, but base HP and total HP don't necessarily match up. A Prototype Scout with no Shield Extenders or Armour Plates will have significantly less HP than a Militia Assault suit with a couple of Militia Extenders and a Militia Armour Plate. Just saying "Prototype suit" didn't really explain anything because it's POSSIBLE for a Militia suit to have more HP than a Prototype suit depending on how they're fitted. But since that's finally been addressed...


All you're missing now is what suit that was on.

Doesn't sound like it should have happened though... unless you somehow crammed all those Shield Extenders onto a Scout suit that doesn't have that many High Slots? or took 2 grenades with perfectly-timed explosion? Or a Shotgun blast right before the grenade went off?

Other than those scenarios, it sounds like this is a legit complaint.

Core Locuses are ridiculous.

Lol7.2m, 3 of them, 600 Damage.

Yep, sounds balanced right?

Oh and dont forget they hardly make a sound, silent killers.

hm.. what? why? are you a scout or something?

No I am not a scout, but locus grenades don't care what you are, they kill any suit like they are a scout.

Get away from the grenade.

Unbalanced games lead to decreased player counts.
We went from more than 9000 to less than 5000 thanks to unbalanced TAR, unbalanced contact grenades, unbalanced murder taxis, unbalanced flaylocks....lol.

I was under the impression that grenades cam kill any merc in one shot with a direct hit. My prototype heavy fit has roughly 1300 HP, and I sometimes die instantly to grenades.

I have to agree with grenades being a problem. Their power isn't the problem. It's the ammo count, allowing for spamming.

Just yesturday I had one of the most amazing matches, where I went 22 / 0 K/D, over 1600 WP, using a militia Amarr heavy frame, two Viziam SPs with 1 Complex Dmg mod, and militia grenades.

About half those kills were with just the grenades. I cooked and spammed them (thanks to nanohives), killing multi at a time throughout the whole match. I ended up in the number one spot.

Was glorious. But like I said in another thread a couple days ago, "Explosives are the biggest crutch in this game, right now.".

So what do you say to people who want to be grenadiers? God you people are funny. Its ok to be a tryhard but its not ok to be a grenadier.
