i was today as gunner in his tank and we allmost got killed by militia swarms and AV grenades. Thats why i wouldnt spec into armor tanks.

it was the moment when the armor dropped to 1000~1400HP

All I get hit by is grenades that blow up in one second. Now that everyone knows about this broken timer, every 1v1 encounter has some guy throwing it at the feet to easily get kills, dent my shields or kill me in armor. I just want to try out my new Heavy suit but I can't use it without dying at some point by an explosive. I switch to an Assault suit to give less reason for them to use it but they still do so I either am forced to quit the game or bring out my tank and solo the enemy team.

Just be ugly, like me, you repel granades, bullets, lasers, and girls.

You can't argue, nades are ridiculous now. 2/3 times, someone is losing a gunfight... BAM! Just toss your nades and you'll take them with you. Nades were good before. (in terms of timer) If a player was good enough to cook the grenade and kill me with it, so be it.

But your tank goes down so easily with AV grenades :)

What kind of excuse is this to use a tank? People are using nades so you can't play? Aren't you suppose to be an imperfect - headshot them for trying.

I honestly just think it's you. How many people can admit too not paying extra attention to any imperfects on the field. I for one would rather just chuck a nade at you then gunfight.

This coming from a heavy with an AR - not many skilled naders out there.

Am I to understand the timer on the nade was reduced? I thought it was just the throwing mechanic that was changed.

Massive framerate spike got me killed below pipes.



Didn't I just say that they spammed this in every gunfight? I always killed them, but they still keep on using grenades on my feet as soon as they see me. Of course I'll bring out my tank.

The granades were working perfectly fine in the last build imo , you could arc them over walls and actually cook it to make it explode in a poor mercs face , this build ruined it

Grenades were absolutely horrible in the last build.The actual physics,or lack there of,is the main reason that CCP completely revamped them.

Personally,I would just take out the cooking mechanic now,and make it where you can actually hold them in your hand as long as you want to,until you are ready to throw them.

MAG had THE best grenade mechanics that I've seen in a FPS,but I'm bias considering that I probably had more frag kills that anyone else in the game.

I want an explosive resistant skill that not only lowers the damage from explosives, but also gets rid of the stagger from mass drivers and missiles.

This, a 1000 times this, I new I couldn't be the only one....

+1

Grenades are supposed to be deadly they are explosive

Militia nades are a joke to heavies - way it should be.

But the nades pop after being thrown instantly and touching the ground in 1 second? That's... absurd. Glad I haven't noticed any of that.

I think we should have an ability similar to this using the melee button. Middle finger would be a bonus.

And bullets are suppose to kill... Militia gernades should only do 200 damage to encourage people to spec into better gear

More like,grenades should be doing the same damage to encourage people getting killed by them to spec into better gear that's more resistant to grenade damage.But right now,that gear doesn't exist.

Basically,the thing with locus grenades damage is that they should be the opposite of flux grenades,where they are more effective against armor and less against shields.

Again though,it's the symptom of something that is being used as intended,yet people are QQ'ing because they are getting killed.People compare them the the broken remote explosives from a couple of builds ago,but that's exactly how they are supposed to work!
