With the most recent series of balance passes every single suit in the game has had it's tankability increased, and the grenade generation capacity on nanohives reduced.
I believe it is time to bring grenade carrying capacity back up to the pre-nerf levels.
For assault suits.
Please add +1 to assault grenade counts to go with the grenade fitting reduction. They need them to have additional sentinel hardpoint and logi chain breaking capacity.
Further, please bring back the 2s fuse. Sentinels have a 25% splash resistance and escaping nade blasts is easy even in a fatsuit if you pay attention.
Assaults currently have additional tanking capacity so it should be unlikely that even a core locus or thukker impact grenade will kill a properly fitted assault on contact.
STD and militia fits will probably get railed tho. |

YES!!!!
The Thukker is a wasted item in my inventory... I mean... c'mon CCP... Have u ever hit someone directly in the face with a contact Locus ..??
It's Awesome :)
And there is no way I am equiping a Contact that nade that is equal cost of Core Locus with 1/3 of the DMG It makes no sense!!!
- either reduce Contact nade to ADV locus fitting cost
OR
- give us back 2 Contact nades.
And to be fair, the assaults could use that extra nade though it puts is back in OHK all the n00bs :/
Innapropriate Irrelevence...
Welcome to the Dust Forum, hang around to see why everyone else left :/

Logistics has received 0 buffs to survivability. All they've ever received were nerfs.
More requests asking to OHK the most expensive suit to play as in this game,the logistics. Yes,it's ok for the cheaper more durable assault to survive a Core locus,but screw that logistics whose suit cost 2x as much as yours to run,with less than half your eHP and speed.
OHK ruins games,look at destiny. -5 for lack of consideration for logistics.

This was about assaults, and the lack of nades which were nerfed to crap because of people WHINING. At no point do I think there should be a damage buff to nades. You can farm more WP in a logi with equipment spam than any other suit in the game can earn. Get lost and quit yer bit**ing. LOL,he said 240 TOTAL eHP was fine for the minmatar logistics. During the initial proposal for charlie,he actually had logistics slated to be nerfed again. I have no doubt he will.
You are a god damned idiot. True logis don't spam equipment,true logis only switch suits to refill their deployables.
Bullshit about farming the most WP in a logistics,you can farm 2x as much damaging impossible to kill vehicles. Vehicle damage isn't capped,equipment is.
You are a stereotypical logistics hater. You never run logistics,but you believe they are OP in some way.
You only ever encounter bad logistics and desire to lump them all together. Gtfo with your "waah but i needs mai grenades" excuses,they are lies. Grenades are OP being refillable at hives.
Remove the refillable,and i'll side with you. But i refuse to sit here and let you try to con people into believing grenade spam is a good thing.

NEVER for the 2 second fuse! It was one of the most horrid times of Dust. In one of the most uniform flood of requests the fuse time was increased back on next update. There was hardly any people defending the instagib-fest.

Note that there is no nerf. Would you like to buy another tinfoil hat?

This does not invalidate the statement, because "purist" logis are in the absolute minority. The majority spam the hell out of everything with their deployables.
And an idiot? tsk tsk tsk. Silly Meee one, thinking your opinion of me matters one bit except as a fine point of amusement to be shared with the other goons. Your tears are delicious by the way.
Quote:Bullshit about farming the most WP in a logistics,you can farm 2x as much damaging impossible to kill vehicles. Vehicle damage isn't capped,equipment is. And yet even though I absolutely ripball the ever-loving crap out of the vehicles, I am usually passed by that one logi...
Hmmm. Evidence does not bear out your claims.
Quote:You are a stereotypical logistics hater. You never run logistics,but you believe they are OP in some way.
Actually, no. I'm not a logi hater. Unless they're red dots. In which case they're priority targets. Kill the healer first. And I started DUST in beta as a logi. I find the role to be hilariously amusing. I also run Logi as my primary fleet fit in EVE. I just don't do it now because I like watching vehicles burn.
Did i mention I'm not skilled into assaults either? I'm a sentinel, which means I'm usually the guy being REPPED by the good logis. You're not counted among them.

I actually wouldn't benefit at all from this proposed change. I have all four sentinels at 5, all four commandos at 3, and not a point anywhere else.
Since the change wouldn't affect my sentinel... and my Commando doesn't have grenades to begin with...
How is this "waah but i needs mai grenades?" I have a goddamn HMG to plug people with, and it's MUCH better at slashing Logis up like the first hot chick you see in a horror movie. |

More nades for contact variations, yes but no to others. Contacts are gimped enough damage-wise.
They might've been useful in countering the scout swarm of last spring-summer, but having only one was too big of a disincentive for most.

I disagree. While lesser variants were indeed damage nerfed, the Core Locus is still a brutal killer with considerable range. The most powerful nade sets the benchmarking level.
Not long ago 'stop nade spam' threads were abundant.

It's amazing your lack of foresite is.
In the future there will be modules introduced to boost equipment efficiency. Logistics must use all of its slots to compensate its horrendously low eHP.
When those modules are introduced,they won't be worth running because i'll die easier.
You mock logistics 'fitting potential'. If logistics tries to speed tank,which is stupid,scouts and assaults can still chase them down. If logistics tries to shield tank,same as above but add in heavies. If logistics tries to armor tank, same as above.
No other suit has such insane drawbacks.
Literally every suit in Dust can perfectly counter their weakness,except logistics. Logistics is slow with low eHP and bad regen,it can't try to compensate for one without making the other two worse.
Scouts can tank eHP with no loss of speed. Heavies can use kincats + a burst HMG with no loss of tank Assaults can do whatever with no loss of anything. Logistics is screwed.If they tank,they're too slow to keep up with the group,if they speed tank their regen can't compensate their low eHP,oh and they cost more... How much more? ADV equipment equals an ADV light weapon alone. Not a sidearm,a full light weapon.
What if assaults had to pay ADV light weapon costs for a sidearm?They,just like most logistics would go broke. Pro equipment is even worse,it's MORE expensive than a Pro light weapon.
But yes,now knowing these facts keep advocating for OHKs on logistics with grenade spam.
Also,idc about a neckbeard group in a game so you can tell the "goons" to go screw themselves. You don't want to mess with someone from the Deep Web bro,just saying your writing a check your ass can't cash.

Back on topic.
I didn't include logistics in my considerations because I firmly believe Logis should be using their squad as their primary HP buffer and incoming bullet stoppers.
I don't believe the game should be balanced around lone wolf anything.
But with the boosts all suits have received after chromosome (the dayof the terror nades, which I thought was awesome) the current grenades shouldn't be able to oneshot most suits any more if they fit proper tanks. |

Nyain San used to throw so many grenades it was like each one of them had underslung Mass Drivers on their Assault Rifles. They became so good at cooking them that we started to call them squads of chefs.
If it is only a +1 grenade role bonus on Assault suits, though, it shouldn't be too bad.

I totally agree with everything you have said so far, with the exception of what you just stated about logi's using their squads as hp buffers.
Any compotent opponent will target the logi first, as it is the easiest to kill and the most powerful if left alive. I can't count the number of times I have had someone ignore my squadmates (usually dieing in the process) just to kill me.
But I am totally on board with increasing grenade count back to three.

As long as grenade hit detetections wont be fixed, changing anything in the grenades stats will be useless. 2/3 times I throw a Core Grenade right in the feets on some guys, and they dont lose A SINGLE HP! This got me turned off the Ps3 for the first time when it happened 6 times in a row in the same game. Please CCP, fix this BIG issue before changing anything to grenades. (I am an assault player btw^^)

I think we should start with the assault class. If it turns out to not be obnoxious put it to all logi and medium frames.
Sentinels and scouts already have their own special snowflake superpowers that are quite functional while forgetting you have nades in your pocket.
Oh an amendment.
I advocate fuse changes on locus only. Flux are pretty much a win button on shields. Instantly making cal suits screwed should not be made easier. |

On a more serious note, there needs to be a little less dodgability and more threat.

I still see a potential for grenade spams when dugged into an area with a supply depot...although this can still happen.
I think all mediums could use the extra grenade count. Grenades eat up nanites from a hive so you can't just at a moments notice have a frag fest unless there are a lot of hives.
Logistics carries lots of equipment around so why wouldn't it have more capacity for grenades for supporting other players? The assault suit could also benefit as it should be on the front-lines so more grenades to flush people out of cover. All other suits being geared towards other roles still have grenades but just not the focus on capacity.
Heavies carry a big gun they have some grenades but more focus on the gun and the burden of carrying it. Scouts have very limited room and meant to be light thus carry only the essentials on its suit, heck it should only get 1 grenade.
Also contact grenades suck.. I think they could use more splash radius but in turn the damage is not much better than sleek locus nades. A normal nade can be cooked to surprise. Contact grenades could be used to kill that last bit of health to a suit running away or trying to hide. However, you only carry 2 and as i said the damage even at proto could be no more than 200-300 @ most.
STD contact locus grenade 100hp @ 6m ADV contact locus grenade 150hp @ 6.5m Proto contact locus grenade 200hp @ 7m
Remember these detonate on impact so very quick and sudden but not a whole lot of damage Coming around a corner a cooked nade could be thrown and still kill the other guy while the contact nade user could have a more on the fly reaction but it won't be enough to kill many suits. Even if spammed the damage could be minimal. Not that i think about it this could be a good counter to scouts.........AHAHAHAHA
TLDR; 1) Assault and Logistics get +1 grenade capacity for its role as slayer and/or support. 2) Contact grenades should be used to do panic damage but not a whole lot.(panic situation or finisher)

I like the idea of having more grenades. Logis should not get an extra however, as they should be focused on reaping and supplying ammo to their Assaults with more grenades :) A Logi carrying 4 Nanohives (Ishukone Gauged) would be a war-engine...-Actually I'm all for it

They might've been useful in countering the scout swarm of last spring-summer, but having only one was too big of a disincentive for most.
I do understand where your coming from (a lower cost variant would make it at least useable if not viable) But for a proto nade, the Contact does very little dmg, even less when you consider the Sentinel splash res.
Like Breakin has said, every suit has got a 'buff' (except the Logi's as their tearbucket is half empty) While the nades have received nerfs, making them less effective and the Contact is only used when Mercs feel like trolling the enemy team in pubs, as there is no reason to use it over a cooked basic nade
Innapropriate Irrelevence...
Welcome to the Dust Forum, hang around to see why everyone else left :/

Like I said, I'm not adverse to a buff for all mediums. I think we should start with assaults and see how obnoxious it gets.

I disagree, Logis need access to any tool possible to further their support abilities. If you have a hard time as a logistics being responsible for nade resupply don't use or carry them and use more/better hives. But don't f it up for the rest of us, please.

Sorry, not out to be a jerk. I too find myself out of resupplies sometimes (my reward for not protoing pubs) and have found the Supply Depot to be my best friend in those circumstances.
