I would very much like for grenades I have thrown to just go ahead and explode even if I am killed a second or two after throwing them. My ordinance should not instantly defuse on death.  |

I don't think it's only when you die. Sometimes grenades just don't explode.
Same with Mass Driver projectiles and other explosives. |

I call it "throwing potatos" when you throw the grenade and it just sits there..... mocking you as you place your hope in its abillity to explode but never does. Laughing in your face as you scramble to reload even though you threw it in the hope of killing the opposition to avoid reloading. Staring into your soul as you fall lifeless towards the ground massacred by bullets from an enemy that would of been gone if it had exploded. Oh potato...... why do you hate me? |

I thought we were throwing Minmatar grenades, and they were supposed to work 1/3 of the time. |

In game another player suggested that the grenades might not be exploding because of a clipping issue. This sounds reasonable but also gives me the chuckle worthy mental image of tons of players throwing grenades at a tank, all the grenades clipping through the terrain and exploding harmlessly below said vehicle. The tank then runs the players over just to round out the fantasy. But I digress.
Once I heard this I started cooking every grenade I throw (with garlic because who cares what your grenade's breath smells like) which has helped quite a bit. I think I see an explosion 2/3 of the time now. And some times I see the effects of the explosion even if I don't see the explosion itself (ie an enemy's body ragdolling through the air  ). |

It's actually the most intelligent high-tech explosive available which just sometimes decides not explode. Which is clever as it would in fact kill itself.

Getting back on topic to feedback to CCP, I have experienced the dud grenade upon death. It is highly frustrating and I hope CCP can work a way around it.
Part of the cause of it I believe is Lag. If you are experiencing the bad/slow side of lag the server probably hasn't registered your grenade go live when you died. |

Grenades? Who even bothers with those?
Just throw remote explosives. |

Also note that remote explosives don't explode when you die, but when you suicide. I've killed a couple people by laying them by the capture point, getting killed, and not suiciding until they're in the middle of hacking it... |

I've had people firing Mass Drivers at me, and when the shot hits the ground, I have time to dodge AFTER it should have exploded, and take no damage.
I've had other times where I'm one-shotted or two-shotted by Mass Drivers before getting any kind of warning that I'm being shot at.
I've had times where I've thrown a grenade and it's exploded on impact, killing a person instantly. I've had other times where it's bounced around, then sat there for literally 30 seconds before going off. I had a rather entertaining moment where someone saw me throwing a grenade, dodged, thought it had either been a dud or glitched while going off, went back to the point they were hacking, and got blown up while I opened fire with my SMG from too far away to do real damage. |
