Reading this....makes me believe that you don't play this game.

While I would sure love another 200hp of damage and another one of my beloved core locus grenades, I'm not sure that would help reduce RE spamming so much as it would make core locus grenades OP.

I agree 100%, however, with your thought on REs being traps and not short range throwable grenades.

I've been talking to lot of player about the abuse of remote explosive and most of us tought that if regular explosive,not the proxi,not the packed but just if the regular explosive needed a really quick hack to activate them,just time to press the button O on it,that way people would'nt be able to trow them from a roof and scrub kill like that,there is so many weapon now that can do that a bit,scrambler riffle,sniper,plasma canon,mass driver,but remote are to powerfull and no need to aim at all or anticipate how people move on the battle field,they just wait or throw them like freesbe,I don't even know why ccp change the way to drop them,before the were only drop at feet,not 10 meters away,so if everybody agree to that please admin do something,because big corp scrubber are killing this game about that,on our side in quebec canada we have lost so many player because of that,just around 24 best player of the game,and about 100 player in dust that I know,so please do something quick thanks

I wouldn't call it spam. Just like I thought the grenade nerf was useless. They aren't being overused but being used to their maximum potential. When a scout somehow runs through a crowd of 6 guys, escape to the next room and get an orbital like kill board they are being used properly. When a min Assault places REs and single handily and 20kills late defends the suppy depot on the lag facility from the entire enemy team, they are used properly. Its just the stupidity of everybody for not checking for them, including me, and it makes for some funny kills. They are fine.

The frisbee + timer is annoying, but for god's sake, get 'em off APEX suits. There should not be a completely risk-free way to use something with that much killing power.

They would be perfectly fine if they were not restocked by hives.

Problem scenario 1:

Scout with PRO hive and RE stands around corner from heavy.

Scout throws RE.

Heavy shoots RE.

Scout throws another RE.

Heavy shoots RE.

Scout throws another RE.

Heavy shoots RE.

Scout refills on hive.

Scout throws RE.

Repeat for a very long time through 2-3 nanohives.

Problem Scenario 2:

Logi stands on high ground with 2 sets of REs and 1 set of nanohives.

Logi drops RE and waits for someone to step on it.

Repeat step 1 X times.

Logi refills on hive.

Repeat steps 2 - 4.




Why should 2 pieces of equipment give a single person an unending supply of defense of a well chosen area? Ratatti said that REs are working as intended as traps. In every use of a trap that I have seen in any game or in the real world it has to be placed with some strategy not just spammed until you get lucky and some one stumbles into it.

Why don't you include Flux grenades in this scenario? Use Flux and rush them, then sneeze on scout and he'll die.

That's 'cause he's got core locusts in that slot to spam the shite out of militia fits ;)

Since they are throwed and not dropped, you never know where they are, or at least you discover it too late, a solution? Maybe make them permascanned for the first "x" seconds after you throw them, adding time from the moment you drop it to the one you can detonate it

By that logic, snipers and nova knifers and anyone/anything that kills you when you don't know where it's coming from is OP or a problem. Just because you don't see them doesn't mean you can't avoid them, sometimes you can't and that's because the user who placed them outsmarted you. RE'S aren't a new item, a lot of people have learned how to deal with them. I learned the hard way, I carry fluxnades. Don't hack something without fluxing. Don't walk in doorways where the red berry ran into. Don't stay close to turning corners. I'm not saying you're completely wrong but a lot of people cry on forums without thinking abouta way to slove a problem.

and flaylock steve,I don't care if I don't throw a flux grenade on a hack point and got my butt exploded,lolll,what I don't like and most all player of dust don't like is to get a billion RE on their head from 8 player that just go aroung a CRU or a hack point and just do spawm killing the whole game,and much of the player that abuse of RE are blueshielding all the time,they use lag switch etc to run thru a bunch of heavy's that shoot at them but they take no domage and just press L1 and boom,no more player enjoying dust and make them leave forever,it's not that we don't adapt,it's because player abuse in any way posible this game like knoming all respawn place around a hack point or CRU and just do easy kill,if at least we could decide where to spawn around a hack point or cru be nice,but the game need some work to be able to make it fair,and veterant can go around those probleme's but all newb just play 1 week and left forever this game,and even some veterant too now and move to another game,so we need to get together to see new face in this game,tired of alway's playin again's OH opus and capital aquisition and grupos that sync in public all the time,and even some corp are starting to get left on the side because thru dust player are even leaving for a while because is just getting ridiculously abusing of all way to cheat a game,mod control and keyboard,,lagswitch,heavy machine gun that shoot thru walls barrier without getting domage,nice hey,and if corp battle come's back it will be nice because we will play together with our friend that play this game fair and the scrub of this game will play again's themself,maybe there ya'll see why dust keep loosing player and not getting much new player,because much of the new player are just alt of regular player in dust,and we can play scrub too,I make 42 kill with remote in a battle,easy,but I don't play them except on haking point because I want to see new player having fun,and staying in dust514,not ya
