im pretty much sold that once ps2 comes out there will be no reason for me to play dust again. the only reason right now it my laptop doesn't handle the graphics right or goes slug mode if i try and make it. and i am not getting/making a new laptop/desktop and waiting to see if ccp even wants to try to make a decent game or just a really rather beta change feast.

and so the mighty devs finally bent their knees to the LOWER player numbers. Im interested to see what the blog is about!

they are here to stay. stop whining...i dont even use them but they are in the game and thats that.

We'll actually have a dev blog out on Contact Grenades and their balance in the near future.

Your little playerbase has asked you to remove these contact grenades entirely from the game for a long time and what do you do? You make them even cheaper.. PtW here. its like you want us to stop playing this game..

Major PC corps even went and agreed to not use these on PC because they are OP as hell.

I dont get you guys. You say that you listen our feedback and want to improve communication, but obiviosly you just want to spit on our faces and take the money.

Does the blog detail why CCP wants to keep them so badly? Numerous threads, a petition, a mutual treaty to refrain from their use in PC, numerous CSM members stating they dont belong in the game.. I mean, the evidence is there, this isnt something new, the community has wanted these removed for a while now but you still are pretty hellbent on keeping them..

Rarely in life do you ever see ignorance take on such an obvious form.

Dear players,

Today DUST 514 will go offline for an extended period of time starting from 11:00 GMT. Server is expected to come back up at 11:45 GMT. Today we are deploying the following changes:

* Removal of "Cavity" M2 Contact Locus Grenade from July Sales Pack promotion and bringing it back to its original 20 AUR price

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

So looks like crying really does get us whatever we want.

I don't think they have place in a competitive FPS game, oops, dust 514 is not a competitive FPS.

We used to have free Dropships with Missile Turrets that could fire past draw distance. They were in the game, and that was that... until CCP changed it.

We used to have free HAVs. They were in the game, and that was that... until CCP changed it.

We used to have Mass Drivers that were a credible threat on the battlefield. They were in the game, and that was that... until CCP changed it.

There used to be a free starter Logi suit. They were in the game, and that was that... until CCP changed it.

I could go on, but I'm sure you see a pattern here...

oh is that what they call this now

*sigh* yes its all true......you people still need to stop crying.....you guys cry more than bf3 and cod fanboys combined.....thats how much crying goes on here.....this game is not about balance at all......why cant you people understand that? this game is all about taking all possible advantages.....after all it is war isnt it?

If coding allowed for it and had time for it.

I wouldn't mind turning the contact grenades into sticky grenades.

you could save your self time, by downloading it on your computer now and just playing it....

9 words, more info than CCP has given us since the release of contact nades.

never in my life have i seen such annoying cry babies you people whine about everything...EVERYTHING....once they nerf the contact nades what are going to whine about next? im ignorant for just playing the game? at least i take the game for what it is unlike you freaking whiners who never shut up...either get better at the game and counter those nades....or just go back to call of balance..

do you use contacts as a panic button or throw them before a gun fight ensues and also use them on heavies that cant dodge them? then you are a scrub. i personally have never used one.

Actually every Vet here is well aware that we're still in Beta, so actually it's all about "whining" because this isn't war, it's a video game, and video games are supposed to be fun.

Broken mechanics a fun game does not make.

if the game was about sports i would listen to you but its not......you cannot balance a game about war...its impossible...thats what all these skill whores and tryhards will never understand...

truly skilled players use ALL weapons and tactics....ALL OF THEM.
