I for one have had enough of R.E's in this game. They are the most underhanded, dirtiest, and unfair weapon in this game!
Don't get me wrong, but these explosives can be useful - used in a real tactic, not just thrown right at my feet, when I'm about to
kill you, and then blowing me up. Someone tell me how is that gameplay? Instead of actually shooting it out to the death like a
true FPS, what happens? Someone who isn't even trying to fight back suddenly gets a kill because of they're cheap tricks and
dumb luck, compared to someone who's focusing on hitting them on target, getting the area clear of enemy's, and getting the
area under team control. How many times have you spawned, trying to re-hack your territory, when your sent sky-high because
of some coward that couldn't kill you face to face, but with some Remote Explosive, not even giving you a chance to fight back,
but blowing you up on spot. Now I know that some people will argue against me saying that "they just outsmarted you" or "it's
part of the game" but what's the point of a game when you have no chance? Is this what we want Dust to become? I don't!!!!!!



This is why that Remote Explosives should be removed from the game, or given a longer time to be placed and then blown up.

Please comment below on your thoughts on my idea

I take it you've never read a warning label before. There is a reason they say "don't out chap stick in your eye". Someone did it and someone will. People use things for unintended purposes all the time.

Calm down and Dust Harder.

I know as stupid as it may sound, but what if we were able to defuse/neutralize the remote explosive(s)?

I love remote explosives, cheap scout suit, add extenders, run around the map going KA BOOOOM!

That said, please bear in mind that we are balancing items based on player behaviours and forum discussions, but removing items from the game seems a tad extreme wouldn't you say?

Arceus if you didn't have Remote mines you would have rage quit this game long ago. It's all you ever use, except with you, you don't even wait until you're losing a gunfight.

Calm down and get some gun game.

Explosives are one of the few defences against bring crushed by a dropship or buggies. Plus they help to take on tanks. Any changes should try and retain or improve their usefulness against vehicles.

You have no idea if there will be an AV variant of the remote explosives, so cool your jets.

secondly, CCP changes things if they find something is not being used in the way they envisioned while dreaming up the game. Im sorry if that does not match the way you would like to use the RE's, but in the end, its all about CCP building the game to play in the way they want.

I'm just providing feedback; the point of the forum.

Cool your jets.

I get killed by guns all the time, lets remove those too. Oh and tanks.

Do I fire a SINGLE SMG bullet and kill you in your proto suit?
No?

I see another RE user whos worried the glitch is going bye,bye.

I think a lot of the frustration with things like RE stems from how CCP has created a game with a great deal of depth and strategy for their dropsuits. You have all this cool stuff like Shields and Armor and modules that effect them. You can make yourself into a walking tank, or go super fast and light, etc etc etc.

All this depth and strategy is nullified by some jackass who runs up and throws an RE at you, instantly killing you. All the time and SP and ISK you spent to increase your time to kill is wiped out by someone using a questionable tactic that probably wasn't intended by the devs.

The answer is not to harden up or 'get better'. Why bother getting better when you can just run around one-shotting people? Why bother spending hours and hours accruing SP and ISK when a cheap easy tactic exists that is far more effective?

This, IMHO, is the core of the issue.

Been said before, needs to be said again... People can't HTFU?

All the people crying about RE's should have played a game for the PS2 called Battlefield 2: Modern Combat and the superior version of RE's known as C4. That stuff would stick to vehicles, walls, anything really, and it only took 2 to blow up a tank. I have run into more than a few thrown-at-my-feet RE's and it always annoys me but the proposed changes seem insanely drastic. Especially considering all one need do to avoid the thrown-at-my-feet RE's is to not charge directly into the enemy in a vain attempt to murder them while being 3 inches away.

what are remote explosives for is the question, At the moment they are working as:

Claymores for infantry

Mines for Anti Vehicle

C4 for buildings stationary Vehicles.

So maybe instead of having one size fit all they should separate and have those different types of explosives because the nerf as it stands really means their only really good for infantry.

Unless you're in a heavy suit, in which case you have no defense at all. Running full sprint when they toss one at my feet (proto heavy suit) means death no matter what. They suck and need this coming nerf to bring them inline with SANE damage and use.
