They are still being used as grenades. Even when you see a guy toss one you can't get out of the way. The timer needs to be longer.
People who relentlessly spam them all match... Seriously it's sad. |

They are the most interesting, versatile, dynamic weapon in the game and they allow imaginative players creative options in the Art of Gank.

Yes. Very imaginative. Get cheap scout suit, run behind a group of players trying to actually play, toss, run past said group, detonate.
Maybe you're trolling, I agree they're interesting, the timer is just way too short and they are primarily used as grenades not as traps. I think they are intended to be traps.

Nope not trolling.
Not every player can be a Picasso.
But I am in favor of allowing mercs freedom to explore creative ways to use the tools provided in game, not stifle options because some don't like dying in a video game designed around dying.
People love to complain though I am sure I don't know why. Remote Explosives are fine.

If said group stays there for even a whole minute, and the RE detonates after aq minute delay, they would still go boom. It's hard to notice them when there's a lot going on. |

Really don't see how you can put tossing frisbee grenades in the same league as Picasso.
But hey, not every player can have greater than average IQ.
I'm not saying to reduce anything creative, just that they detonate too quickly. If you are a bit over weight, you are literally ******. Even if you watched said Picasso run up to you and toss it at your feet.
Ps. I've died like 22 thousand times.. So I think I'm ok with it. |

The issue is their av uses would be non existent then. I'm ok with the tossing bit, just not the timer length. I'm not asking for something extreme but maybe something longer than the time it takes to cook a grenade would be reasonable. |

You laughed your ass off at your own joke? Seems odd.
RE's are the bees knees.
I love flinging them on to tanks and making with the boom.
I love handing them to sentinels.
I love placing them on uplinks for that special "+50".
I love leaving them for blood thirsty tourists chasing around corners.
They are sweet and clean and warm wonderful boomyness.

Wow, a nerf RE thread and some one still manages to throw in a nerf the rep tool jab. Let me guess the heavy survived an RE attack by the brave 'Picasso' scout by the logi out repping the damage from the RE. Rep tools OP as **** since the day they came out ( last week ).

I realize that yes, and I suggested a longer timer over a year ago, doesn't change that no matter how it's balanced (Like the fact they can be thrown for tanks, or that scanners can detect them, or the fact they now have a timer) the 'elite' of dust will always complain about them.
Cause in the end it's not an 'acceptable' means of killing infantry, so I gave up a long time ago.

Well if you look closely the someone who started the thread (me) is the same someone who said the bit about rep tool capacitors. Point being, with scouts nerfed, it is increasingly difficult to deal with heavy and logi combo in an enclosed area. Let's look at domination for a second. Some enclosed objectives only have two doors, some have three. With enough heavies and logis it's damn near impossible to do anything.
Grand list of counters 1 orbital (not possible with some objevtives) 2 re's 3 Moar heavies and logis than the other team
Yeah there's mass drivers but if the logis have a logi repping them then your screwed cause mass drivers do nothing to sents. REs are really the most reasonable counter however some are worried that nerfing REs will make the only counter be Moar heavies and logis. I share this concern as well. Furthermore I think the whole logi heavy tactic is OP and only includes you dirty armor tankers for all the fun.
Rep tool capacitors (nothing crazy) would put a spin on the current hold r1 and move in circles the whole match business. Not to mention the fact that proto rep tools are up to 3 times better than standard, leading to the simple truth that a proto stacked squad of heavies and logis is really only countered by another proto stacked squad of heavies and logis. Or REs. The power discrepancy leaves newbs and casual dusters in the dust. Or REs. A rep tool capacitor would allow a small break in this beast mode tactic to allow pushes from the enemy team and require more tactical game play from the heavy logi combo.
Proto min logi and I support rep tool capacitors. As well as ******* stupid REs not working as intended fix that ****.
There. That's my opinion.

Not desperate. It's pretty funny to blow up a tank that way or use nova knives.

I've yet to see any game where the remotely activated bombs can't be used just like this. But yet dust is the first one where people whine about it. In fact, in most games, they have an even wider explosion radius.

Stop copy pasting bad ideas. If the issue is heavies, then heavies need to be adjusted, not the repair tool. Another QQ thread in a QQ world. |

Just because they are not being spammed that does not mean they should stay as they are.
Look at Minmatar Assaults. They are now being spammed more than any Assault. Does that mean they are OP? Nope.
Now. RE's are not balanced. They deal too much damage in order to be thrown away so far and have a low delay.
There intended use was for both AV and booby trapping enemies.
Now they are being used to clear out rooms.
Aren't grenades meant to be the ones clearing the room?
Why equip a grenade that you can only carry 2 and eats away Nanohives in seconds and have low damage compared to an RE that has about same throw distance, lower delay (grenades are 5 and RE's are still 2-3 second delay) can be ressuplied at nanohives for lower costs than grenades and deal WAY more damage than grenades. Oh and you carry more too.
Having the abilty to throw an object that 1 hit kill almost ALL the suits im the game, being able to throw them continously from any height, or just simply running infront of people amd chucking the RE at them while still being able to be resupplied from a nanhive?
Yeah, they either need an animation for activating (packed RE's not included), a damage nerf, making it so they can't restock at a nanohive or addind the hacking wheel thingy before tossing one out.
Choose one.

I do not use remotes ( well very rarely I do)
Proxy mines are AV and they are a joke
If grenades were buffed you would cry about that too
I see them, I avoid them. I've done this plenty if times
The only thing I want nerfed are slight HMG range reduction and vehicle armor repair ( yes I'm that guy who thinks good tanks are invincible)
The hmg is a ohko in cqc that also clears rooms and does a lot of dmg The re is the counter to this combo of logi/heavy therefore it is fair and balanced
Either you are a suck bag heavy ( believe me the good ones know re's are coming) or you are just plain unlucky or bad at this game right now.
Re's are fine, look for them and you will die less from them

Even a fully tanked Amarr Sentinel can escape an RE if you're paying attention. They made the timers uber long for a reason
"Uber long"? What game are you playing, because it clearly isn't Dust514... It doesn't matter if the description on the item says 5 seconds, when that is not what actually happens in game. Or do you actually believe that dropsuits have a, for example, 3000 meter scan radius too, just because the description says so?
Have you considered installing the improved keyboard?

People who relentlessly spam them all match... Seriously it's sad.
On balance I'm on the side of the RE users - assuming the other side are the heavy/logi crowd. the RE's are a good leveller in a very difficult situation. Without RE's there is a good chance DUST would just be about heavies and logi's which would be dreadful.
I think you need to get used to the idea that sentinels can die too. the rest of us shoulder cheap losses all the time.
I rarely go on an RE frenzy - but when my side is getting protostomped I will pull out the RE's to help my team. and guess what it works! Or do you think you should be able to just stomp players with less SP than you and waltz through the match with zero deaths? Sure I could take you on from a distance and pick off one or two of you - or I could help my hapless team, run in close and take out a big crowd of you. Sucks being taken down by someone when you thought they were all helpless doesn't it?
RE's work a treat but they also come with disadvantages - you still need wits to use them.

the main problem with REs is..
THE ******* BLAST RADIUS
WHY is it so large? They clearly DID NOT test it before they released it.
This is not the result of TESTING, they did NOT TEST the thing...
what is it designed to be? what is the purpose of the RE? For the STD version to kill 4 proto heavies?
Me and another logi + 2 proto heavies have been destroyed by ONE standard RE. That's hundreds and hundreds of thousands of ISK, to a STD RE. How is that risk and reward? How does anything like the RE have any place within DUST's game model of risk and reward?
REs should have been removed a long time ago

getting killed by an RE is the equivalent of the other player saying "I could have killed you, but I have no skill, so I spammed an OP OHK spam weapon because I'm a bad player who needs to get easy kills on good players".
If you want to kill me use some bloody skill, why does a OHK spam weapon exist in this game? What's the point of spending 30M SP in this game and running an expensive suit if it doesn't matter what suit you're using or how good you are when anyone can destroy anyone with a simple piece of STD level equipment.
It's broken, remove the damned thing.

this is absolute rubbish. and anyway you are not talking about skill you are talking about SP. discovering RE's gave me a chance to get some kills against stompers from the position of around 5m SP to the stompers 30m +
Anything that allows newer players to feel some semblance of competition is completely within reason - and even ignoring the fact that it's a helpful weapon to combat higher SP players (Stompers) you can't argue that your ridiculous heavy suit with it's permanently attached logi gimp is in some way balanced because it isn't.
So a newb bought a few cheap kills and went 3/15 to you 50/1 ?? BOO HOO!!!
In the nicest possible way of course..
and ps - if you're trying to say it takes no skill to get an assault suit up close and personal to a gang of heavies, drop an RE, hope it's within range and they haven't seen it, then set it off before they move.... then you are talking shash. it ain't that easy. and if you think you are somehow entitled to immunity as you hang out en masse by the point creating a heavy wall for your entire stompathon - then look up and realise you are still vulnerable!
