Actually, that's exactly how we envisioned Planetary Conquest to be.

What's the problem?

There is none. You just need to GET GOOD SCRUB.

Lel this is why everyone should be a Medium Frame with a Duvolle and Core Locus Grenade. It doesn't matter as long as it can spam explosives

Well, I hope it's not what CCP wanted

I've previously advocated that Active Scanners should work as a multiplier of the suit's precision, with variants having a meaningful change in how they work (flux obviously being able to cover up a lot more range but it shouldn't have the same precision as, say, a quantum). This also means a more meaningful impact when used by Scouts.

Grenades shouldn't be something that can be so easily spammed and there should be some consideration behind using them - locus grenades, in my opinion, shouldn't be so much a killing tool as a damaging one. Something to finish off a target or soften them up. Just as well, there shouldn't be so many of them (three is a bit excessive). There was a suggestion of having separate grenade slots where suits could fit as many as that particular suit would allow, so you could potentially fit a flux grenade and a locus grenade on one suit.

Drop Uplinks have always been a problem and I think that reducing the ability to field more than one type of equipment slot of the same kind (fielding Triage -AND- Gauged hives as an example) will have a significant impact on that. If not, there is always the opportunity to implement a capacity limit for a team as to prevent the mass spamming of them, forcing them to be more tactically placed by design.

You can't tell me, CCP, that this is what you wanted. I hope that it isn't. Sad thing is that this is what corp battles has come down to....nothing but grenade, scanner, and drop uplink spam.

No disrespect to the parties involved cause it isn't your fault. Once one person abuses cheesy mechanics designed in this game, then you have to in order to be able to compete.

But seriously, I'm so glad that I had to work because I would have signed up for this tournament. And would have been utterly pissed off because of the grenade and explosives spam. This has to stop CCP...if you like suggestions on what you can do to reduce the spam without removing the weapons, then I'd be glad to oblige. But this has to end....it takes away from shooter skill, great tactics, and in-game enjoyment.

I don't understand? Please describe in more detail what it is you want. I am so confused because grenade spam requires great, on your feet tactics, to overcome it. Or am I mistaken? Isn't uplink spam part of the strategy as well? They keep the pressure on you so that you have to always stay sharp and attentive. Tactics and strategy is they fine art of anticipating and countering your enemy's moves. Anticipate the grenade, then counter it, surely after enough times they will realize it is a poor strategy. Unless you aren't anticipating it or countering it, in which it works, and you run to the forums to cry.

Imagine they take uplinks, scanners, and grenades out entirely. No more nades, uplinks, REs, Mass Drivers....

Let's make this simple. How bout CCP only put in pistols and ARs. No variants either because people will likely complain about that. Just standard AR and Standard pistols. This is what you want? Surely there must be a game like this out there. I wonder what it's income is.

SHOOTER.SKILL.

Dubbs that was a good one.
I actually was SUPRISED this dude Aimed now and then with L1 since he was using an AR.And aiming is not needed.
(I actualyl went a whole match with a GEK without pressing L1 just to prove a point to a friend, went 33-7)

You say that explosives ruing the ''FUN'' of this game. BUT, as it is whats really doing it is proto stompers, NOT Explosives.PROTO LOGIS,notexplosives, ARS , not explosives. I must agree thou Active scanners are pretty F broken.

For your INFORMATION, Explosives is the only effective way lower level or SP players have to deal with proto stompers.
Me myself ABUSE explosives massivley while going against Proto squads, with up to 2 different remote explosives,Core locus grenades and a Mass driver.
HOW ELSE Am i Supposed to take down 6 Proto Pub Stompers alone?

It might not be pretty, but in all that chaos, the odds are actually fair....

Locus grenades needs to be limited to 1, flux can have 2..

stop with the excuses man.....

Nowadays, I see adv level logi suits with more hp than my cal assault suit.

Flux grenades are fine at three.

If you take Locus down to 1 but leave Flux at 3 , im not sure how my mind concluded this, BUT you are giving Mass Drivers A Huge advantage over every other weapon type...

Let me just say that the amount explosives used in that battle made me sick.

I just puked all over the keyboard, so know I have to use my bluetooth one.

You feel proud of yourself Power Rangers?

Bro, do you even ck.0?

Here's a quick fix:
If you increase cook time on locus by 3 extra seconds and it takes 2 clusters of a hive to regain 1 nade I would assert the spam would stop.

Increase Flux by a comparable amount.

If I had it my way nades would do 100% to shields and 100% to armor and have 2 differing variants, namely sleek and packed.

Tweak the figures how you will but a sleek would essentially be a large AOE with reduced dps and packed would be a tight AOE but do significantly more dps. No headshots with nades. This option wouldn't employ the increased cook time previously mentioned. Then contact nades would be relevant again as well.
