AV grenades don't go off unless a vehicle drives over them, thats the devs fault for not putting a timer on the grenades.

Nanohives only give so many grenades, supply depots are endless. Again thats the devs not fixing a known issue.

If they fix it by the tourny then thats that, but if not then its a fair option.

If they want to acknowledge it as an exploit, then abusing it would constitute cheating. They've already commented that it's unintended behavior and they're working to fix it, but it may not be possible without a patch, which won't come for a while due to QA and certification delays.

Just because it's possible doesn't mean it's not cheating.

I just realized a few days ago that this was possible, I always assumed the nades burned out after a few seconds. I'm loving the landmine use of them currently, until it is aknowledged as an exploit or cheat, I will continue to do it when I feel it's neccessary.. like when theres 4 or 5 LAV trying to circle the map and just run/mow us over, thats a landmine moment

Agreed, its not like we can call 5 LAV's or 4 Tanks or 3 Dropships fair? Swarm launchers have issues, CCP has stated they are fixing them, so AV mines are the counter to this. Love it or hate it, it is what it is.

Actually QA wouldn't need to touch it if its just a patch, only the large updates need QA testing.

Until its stated as an exploit, its one players opinion vs another. Im on the fence both ways, to me they are just grenades you don't drive over. You can see them if you are not driving like a maniac. But if CCP comes out and either fixes it or stats its a cheat, then it is not one.

tbh i think its quite good, stops LAV spam and fills a much need role of laying traps for tanks etc, maybe the nade itself is a bit off, but having some form of landmine option is only a good idea

offtopic but was thinking last night. it's taken this long to get a bug looked at what the hell is it going to be like EVERY time they patch or improve the game when it gets released (obviously q+a spotted it and they just released the codex build anyway, screw the kb/m player they are second class citizens). it's taking way too long to get patches and hotfixes out on this ps3 format. it's not like EvE where they can just hotfix it, that's what it seems like anyway. It's something every PC gamer/EvE player needs to know when considering purchasing a PS3 console.

and it's not an issue of can't be bothered. game has been unplayable for weeks for some KB/M users.

i know the reasons, does that help me and others now we are behind weeks in sp, nit picking i know but that makes us extreemly competetive for the tourney doesnt it? like i said in post earlier they knew it was broke and said screw it and released the codex patch anyway - they knew there wouldnt be anyone there to fix it during national holidays in china. no way their q+a guys missed it. PC gamers who are willing to spend money on a console need to realize this. my point is this will be an ongoing thing with every improvment and patch in the game for years to come.

ive more or less decided to sell my console but someone but should speak up for the dedicated EvE players that actually went out (and will in the future) and spent money on a console with the intention of only playing using a keyboard and mouse, could have spent -ú270 on pc upgrades, anyway worked it out i wont lose much if i ebay now. now if lovefilm would jusy hurry and send me RE6 so i can finish that before i sell, save me having to endure yet another terrible console port to pc.

had a post forums swallowed it. broken game beta isnt the reason i decided to sell, game will never be hardcore enough for me. the way i see it heading i dont like what i see. im ont the best player in the world but i need something to push my limits. it doesnt do what other games havent done before it exept for the massive step they took to make this game o7 itll work. imo they are following the ties to eve too much and not making dust a ******* good game in it's own right.

edit and my post about china was about a weeks holiday they have? why it would crack you up idk. maybe im wrong but it sounds like a bigger party than Amsterdam on a new years eve.
