So we should only balance them around Scout suits? What?

Scouts, and every suit should be allowed to tank at least one hit from them without going down, they should become more of a 'Finisher' weapon, which only get used to get out of a tough situation.

They're still be used in gunfights Vs almost every role, to weaken the target (Or kill) before a gunfight, to either end it quickly, or end it before it even starts.

Um, you do realize that grenades are intended to be one-hit-kill weapons, right? Unless of course you want DUST 514 to become Looney Toons 514.

No scout suit should be able to survive any grenade. If you're still adamant about it then you might as well nerf my nova knives since the ZN-28 knives can one-hit-kill most assaults while the Ishukone knives can almost one-hit-kill a proto heavy and they are far more powerful than a shotgun.

What the hell happened to the drastic changes IWS was talking about, warning people not to stock up on them. Another month of Pay2Win, and Scouts being insta-killed by these things it seems.

Malkai Inos Opus Arcana Covert Intervention 788	Posted - 2013.07.23 16:10:00 - [5] - Quote Sticky contacts ftw. Plasma nades anyone? How do we feel about the flaylock though? The splash damage and range reductions are pretty much in line with what many players suggested. The direct damage change seems pretty large for me though. Can you still kill most suits with three direct hits? (not a flaylock user)

Knight Soiaire Better Hide R Die D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 1382	Posted - 2013.07.23 16:11:00 - [7] - Quote I cant really understand what they're implying at this part; "We're also homogenizing the grenades within their current tiers. Right now, there are differences between PG/CPU and blast damage and radius for contact grenades within the same tier. With Uprising 1.3, these differences will be removed and all contact grenades of the same tier will now have the same fitting requirements as well as damage/radius." What does that bit mean there? Isn't there only one Contact Nade per tier? Or are they making the Contact Nades match regular Grenade stats? (Hopefully not)
Beren Hurin K-A-O-S theory 799	Posted - 2013.07.23 16:12:00 - [8] - Quote So based on the community's help in figuring out how nanohives use nanite clusters, the stats for the consumed clusters per grenade has been something like 10+ clusters per grenade (but really the stat was 30 clusters to fill your grenade pack. So my guess is that a contact grenade will take 30 clusters and empty a non-full STD/ADV nanohive in 1 restock.

I'm fine with that, I'll probably start using it again now that it wont be the FOTM, its the perfect sidearm for a Scout due to its low CPU/PG requirements too.

GJ CCP I remember when i first heard of this game you heard about how they could hotfix little issues here and there such as obvious OP guns and inbalance but ... its taken months to take a contact nade from 3 to 1? Hahaha You guys prove how much fail this game is with each update.

After all, you only need one
Billi Gene The Southern Legion 171	Posted - 2013.07.23 16:19:00 - [13] - Quote looks good to me. Also hoping that it means the ammo resupply %/nanite allocation rules out using hives to spam them, as theoretically this change will make them the most nanite intensive weapon in the game.
Skyhound Solbrave Rough Riders.. 161	Posted - 2013.07.23 16:19:00 - [14] - Quote How many did people have before? Three or two? Tbh, I think reduced ammo count is fine. Means it won't be spammed, a whole squad rolling with them would drain even a proto hive in seconds. I would take three well cooked grenades over 1 contact any day, but that's just me.
Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 3461	Posted - 2013.07.23 16:19:00 - [15] - Quote I'm fine with the changes. It should mitigate the spamming of these contact nades and CCP did mention in that blog that they are trying to make them a situational weapon only just like the flay lock. As for the fitting of the nades in the same tier, it sounds like that differences in the same tier were causing more problems than they are worth.

Nova Knifes, require skill, have to be melee range to the target. Normal Nades, easy to dodge, can be cooked, but takes timing and skill to get the cooking just right. Fused Nades, throw = +50 Kill
DUST Fiend OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 5425	Posted - 2013.07.23 17:30:00 - [23] - Quote It's clearly a temporary fix since they want them to become sticky grenades, which is awesome. Lowering it to a single grenade is actually a really good change for right now. It still sucks for scouts, but scouts...are....well....they're scouts..... Tosch...did you actually just compare Nova Knives to Contact Nades? I just..... But I.... And then you....
Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 3464	Posted - 2013.07.23 17:33:00 - [24] - Quote That still doesn't mean that a scout should be able to survive a grenade. And besides, be glad that the contact nades are being nerfed to just one nade per fit. And since nano hives deplete faster when replenishing nades, this won't be a problem and I for one welcome the changes.

I'm happy with the changes, maybe its just because IWS hyped it up so much that I thought they'd get nerfed to the ground, and I got over-excited. Oh well, I guess I can last one more month.

I really like how CCP seems to up their balancing skills as of late. The tac nerf was fine (rather timid actually). logis look reasonable, contacts get their own mechanic instead of just the nerf hammer (sticky) Maybe...just maybe we can look foward to balance changes in the future, affected players included.

Isn't there only one Contact Nade per tier? Or are they making the Contact Nades match regular Grenade stats? (Hopefully not) Basically, IIRC, the stats for similar grenades in the same teir (ISK vs. AUR) wasn't the same. Most times the AUR version was way better for the tier, now everything will match up, like it should.
