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.

I bet you use a flaylock.

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

Please say they're being removed.
Seriously, just remove them. It solves everything.

Just a bit more :)

5 years later:

But what about da money?!

My guess is they actually have to make contact with someone in order to explode, making them require some skill.

meh contacts keep things interesting.

if a player is using grenades like these they are probably sacrificing some form of tank to do it.

as mentioned they should be balanced but I don't want to see them removed.

Right, I'm sure that 9 CPU and 2 PG, in a grenade-only slot, really detracts from a suit's tank.

you fire md/flaylock at me..... i throw contact grenade at you.

its only fair

Unless the dev blog says you're keeing them the same, this post tells us that you're encouraging people to spend money on an item that you will soon change the effectiveness of.

Surely you can't think this is good customer relations?

on here whining about a damn contact grenade

Its always - "Soon" or "In the future"

You hardly ever give dates or estimates.

CCP - how do you expect your player base to react?

lolcp

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..

Word of Warning, Do not stock up on them.

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

I would really like to read how you consider contact nades balanced

EoN Fighting for a better Tomorrow

Well I don't want you guys feel like you got ripped off after the changes, I say wait and see what changes are being made before you decide on buying more. CCP Eterne is right they are getting balanced you should consider what ways they could get balanced and see if that would continue to vibe with your aurum purchases.

No they're not getting adjusted to being useless in my opinion.

Contact nades have no place in a FPS game. THEY NEED TO BE REMOVED OUT OF THE GAME, CCP. ASAP.
If you dont want to removed them you got to modify them as a fast explosive nade. Instead of 5 seconds that it takes regular nades to explode, these ones should explode at 4 seconds.

I refused to use the stock I got from merc packs just becasuse I don't think they have place in a competitive FPS game, oops, dust 514 is not a competitive FPS.

So, good job CCP with that 50% discount on M2 cavity, you are killing the game a little more with this.

In other words; now would be a good time to spam any fused grenades you might have left.

All in all thebest way to balance them, imo, is the UVT method. Destroy them.

ah so they buffing them... i see your point. do not buy them now... wait for later

Balance really? Most people who play don't even want them to begin with and you guys what to keep them. CCP how about you pay attention to what a majority of you players want and take a look a at this thread.

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

Buffing? The less you try to read into what I am saying the healthier you would probably be on the subject.

IDC.. i am not paying for them, im a tanker why would i need nades? but from what you are saying they are figuring out to buff them while calling it a nerf.

He's just saying "don't panic, wait for the changes to arrive before doing something potentionally stupid".

CCP loves to see the crybabies come out and whine

who cares about the contact grenades hell bring more

CCP make me some flux fused so I can hit that logi LAV with it and crush his shields

if you dont like them dont use them

if you like to see people whine and cry like CCP does

toss a couple of these out when you see that protosuit coming at you

CCP can look at stats and see that the contact grenades are not being spammed. When a weapon is over used and OP it is obvious...The kill feed would be littered with it. This is just not the case.

Guess what, that's how Uprising was made. Data and zero feedback.

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..

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!

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.

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....

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.

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

::facepalm::

Lets just be gentlemen and agree to disagree on this one

*sigh* im not trying to fight here im just sharing my opinion thats all....i apologize if i came off as a jerk.

i have no arum or whatever its called.....this game is about war...there are no scrubs in war....... only those who die and those who live.....all you idiots talking about skill are WORTHLESS...you think because you play like some sport everyone else has to play like that? no..nobody has to play your freaking way...for those of you who use the contact nades you are not wrong...and you most certainly are not scrubs.....this game is about war...and in war you do what it takes to win.....real scrubs are people who limit themselves.....truly skilled players use ALL weapons and tactics....ALL OF THEM.
