ya know you kiddies and your tears for all the OP weapons is only OP when it comes to TDM and objective TDM (which is really what we are all playing) if your cries for nerfing everything happens when the next build and other game modes drop you do realize none of you will have anything to take out these tanks, turrets/turrents (lolz), or other big objective based objects that need to be taken down. the current nerfing that your cries have achieved will make the option for a stealthy anti-vehicle merc IMPOSSIBLE especially ones with a good fitting with the stats that are going on.

what they really need is to just be tweaked in the splash damage radius and or detination timing. keep its potancy the way it is and the number a person carries the same. the ppl using it for stat padding by killing unable-to-move fresh spawns is silly. the only way to combat that without making them totally worthless is to throw in some sort of temporary spawn invincibility timer for maybe 2-4 seconds should be enough to combat that.

if the RE's are made worthless then we need another sort of ANTI-VEHICLE weapon maybe like a mine of some sort that could be picked up after placed similar to bf3. if theres nothing to replace its roll no matter how much the community cries for blood then ya have the swarm launcher (which how it is really needs tweaking ) sorta reliable and a forge gun, something else needs to level the playing field.

thats it for my soapbox just remember kiddies that these 2 modes are not the COMPLETE GAME nerfing everything your better off finding a friend nearby who plays dust and peg him with your controller because thats going to be the only way your going to stop a vehicle kill spree.

Actually it makes people not take what you're saying seriously, as you come across as immature and highly emotional.

TBH thats been 70% of the crying in the forums since ive started playing the beta... maybe its the immature and emotional kids that are getting to me.

i just dont want dust to fail due to a small handful of kids who cry they got their ass handed to them over and over again by a different style player or someone who is far better then them. i actually stay out of the forums because the only way i tollerate reading half of the dribble is with a nice icey glass of captain morgan. when i see a bug i post it in my thread but other than that i stay out of general unless a corp member brings something up thats it.

but stupid attracts sometimes

the thing is, wehter over powered or not, the people using the nerfed weapon will say the same exact arguments. so Its very difficult to sort through.

Wow -.-; i cant use a scout suit to carry hw sigh i was afraid of this. Guess ima go play some ac v. Thanks devs why dont u just make pure classes like bf 3 then oh wait you already are.

The new AV grenades will probably be better for that since they got a massive adjustment in the next build as well.

THey home in on vehicles once close enough. you could even use them effectively on dropships from the sound of dev comments

I get many kills with REs and I can count on one hand the number of times I've been killed by them. In fact, your name looks familiar, I've probably killed you with REs. But I can also shoot. I don't expect everyone to only use guns in Dust and there should be many different playstyles supported. My problem with RE is that it works better than grenades at the moment. Some of this has to do with poor grenade mechanics but I suspect it also has to do with how easy RE is to use. Two proposed changes both have merit. either increase the skill pre-reqs for RE or change their placement mechanic. I can live with one or the other.

I'd prefer a change that requires a user to "place" the RE like you place wall mines in Splinter Cell and other games. This would make them stick to vehicles, objectives and walls. They'd still kill multiple people, they'd still make heavies fly 30 feet in the air and they'd still make for lolzy kills. But they'd require more awareness and planning. I can also live with a higher skill requirement because it means a player has a larger investment into that playstyle.

One more thing...

Were you one of those on the forums screaming "L2P" when Swarm launcher abuse was brought up? In case you haven't noticed, this is a BETA. Our job is to point out perceived imbalances, either too weak or too strong, BEFORE the game goes live. You either roll with the punches and provide feedback or you entrench yourself into one playstyle and scream "L2P" which incidentally adds nothing to the conversation. I don't know if you're in the latter camp, but your posts seem to suggest it.

Maybe the RDs should be distinguishable when on ground? Sort of like how you don't walk over a mine when you see it? This would make it so they are used more strategically against players and vehicles.
