I can haz grenades?

[iAmPain]

Other than Pain doesn't explode if you kill the target before it expires, so I wouldn't count that at all.

The more reason why grenade should be in game

[Mrbananaz]

would be so cool if grenades were implemented into game!

[KillaSkillz]

Grenade launcher would be easier i think, they could make it work on a charge like skills and attack work in DL. Or like a slow refil like some skills do here in SL.

Maybe it could even be a custom add on for a weapon? Grenades are cool idea but i think the annimations may be a bit difficult to add ( although DL has a couple grenade tossers as bosses over there.

Now that you seem to have the mechanics worked out because the Scorn have them, what are the chances of allowing players to have grenades? I figure they could cause AoE damage centered on your targeted enemy, with various effects.

Regular grenade: Plain old damage and knock back/down. Not very effective versus mechanical enemies, like the droids in Sloucho, damage wise, but could knock them down.

EMP grenades: Effective vs. robots, but not much else. Knock back/down vs. robots.

Stun grenades: Causes no damage, but a chance to stun/root any enemy.

Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch: Massive damage to all enemies on screen. Perhaps a plat only grenade.

Of course, the idea would need tweaked a bit, especially versus bosses, but I think this would be a good idea. In order to cut down on grenade spam, only allow a max number to be carried, like 5 or so. To use them, I would suggest an icon down where the stims are. Just tap and boom! As for players acquiring some, perhaps a vendor in the lobby, with a possible discount vendor in T3 guild halls.

What's everyone's opinion on this idea?

I agree 100% with this

The animation is already there, check the Scorn.

A frag isn't effective against mechanicals? I think if you try to make a robot explode it would work.

Frag, aka fragmentation, grenades rely on shrapnel to destroy soft targets. Small splinters of metal, even flying at a decent speed, are not very effective against metal or armored targets. They do not use the actual explosive charge to cause damage, though if close enough the shock wave could kill, it's used to shread the metal casing and fling it out into flesh.

grenade goes BOOM

[Melancholy]

Invoking science to pwn my previous statement is a win! I love all my nerd friends. U GUYS R AWESOME!!! I knew that metal shards come from the frag but (I have never seen one go off before) I would have thought the pressure would be enough to crumple the robots! I guess not?

Meh, I suppose the shock wave would be enough if it was standing on it or holding it. It would work but it would be like using a pair of pliers to drive a nail. It may work, but there are better tools designed specifically for that task.

Also, just to establish myself and comments, I have had training with frag grenades and I have used them. They are far louder than one would think and I was rather disappointed in the disturbing lack of a giant fireball. Thanks, Hollywood, for ruining it for me.

I dunno, I think a frag grenade would mess a robot pretty badly, depending on how close it was. If shrapnel got inside the robot's casing, it could bounce around and cripple delicate mechanical or computer components. The shrapnel could also jam actuators and cripple the robot' mobility. Finally, the shock wave could knock electrical connections loose. of course, this would depend on how sturdy the robot was built, and how much shrapnel actually hits it and has a chance to do damage. Maybe frag grenades would work on robots like stun grenades work on humans.

[SkillFullGamer]

No you cant haz grenades O.O

[Melancholy]

Damn... We go from CAN I HAZ BOOM BOOMS! All the way to Scientifically speaking the molecular surface of the robot it far too dense to cause mobility damage.

Thanks, Hollywood, for ruining it for me.

Hilarious!

if we haz grenades....we wouldnt need commandos

[Szangheili]

Lol, agreed. Although it wouldn't hurt to make the Engi's a bit stronger....

[Zaonabiuibil]

Exactly Lol jk, but Coms are way too OP right now IMO.

[BodMaster]

As some said, this would lessen the need for a Com. And lol at Zaon saying it should, because Comm are OP? Lmao

With this added, will Comm get Auto-Medipacks, and a shoulder Mini-gun?

No but there's usually one around. But the point I was making was the closest SL has to a grenade would be singularity, and singularity sees very little use.

Has the world gone MAD!¡!¡!

If you don't have Singularity in your build you aren't a real com, just a stand alone basically mini-dps user.

Sigularity, from all the content I have played has come the most handy, along with Nueral Stomp. How can you not have this teamed up with Back Breaker? Madness.. the times have definitely changed, not sure if for the better or not.

No, a 1000+ armoured com with custom having 4 regen, and insane buffs to crit armour and dodge,is not OP.

Lmao

(That was sarcasm.)

Do you think that is not needed for productive aggro control?

Remind me to not pull aggro from you if we ever run in the same maps together
