   ....oh Lourde.
Much like I posted in another thread, it IS frustrating but hilarious how the freedom we enjoy on this forum ultimately lets us post an change-request, insist that only a fool would disagree with this request--it's so obviously the right change to make, receive two dozen "Hey, that's a greeeat idea---I agree!",... finally pry CCP into relenting to the change based on something similar to "popular request feedback"....
...and then we finally realize, uuups, that made it just as bad--only now in reverse,...this change is the pits, so can we fix it?
 No, I'm not condemning the opinions in this thread. I do agree with you. We may have been frustrated by being in a hallway and having locus kills come out of nowhere so fast you can't even spit before you die... but "barraging" a strong point with grenades in order to break their backs IS a real battle tactic, so we should have been more willing to put up with that behavior from players, and just requested a little (LITTLE, not a lot) TOTAL damage reduction caused by two locus grenades.
OR, we may have been frustrated by getting assassinated by a single grenade when we're hacking a null---in which case the above "slight damage reduction" might have still been a better solution than shrinking our grenade belt.
This way, the players could still "barrage" with nades as a psychological tool, while on an individual basis, a player will feel a little less slap-happy with using a grenade as a surpise-assassination weapon because she "suspects" it's not powerful enough to guarantee a one-throw=one-kill.
Yeah, I have no objection to getting our TWO locus grenades back (even if we take a MINOR reduction in its damage capability to try to offset our pending behavior).
Gradually we'll learn,... it's the "pending response-behavior in the game" that mechanisms have to be tweaked to correct, NOT the math and the numbers. That "behavior" tells us what's an "OBVIOUS SOLUTION--GREEEAT IDEA!" ...or not.
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...
