DLC 2 on Friday's PAX livestream

[Krazy Karen]

There was nothing in that stream that implied grenades were refilled like ammo.

Overload had to manually pick up "Hatchling grenades". They weren't picked up automatically like ammo and scrip.

He even said if you run out of your current grenade type, you would have to select a different one.

ummm, I just like spent like 900k on my grenade!!!


I really hope not!

*pout!

If grenades are consumable, I would assume they will give players something for the items they have no.
Either by converting them to x amount of their like grenades (x scaling based on the quality of the grenade you have) or something.
I can't imagine they'll just flat out remove the items from your inventory, since, as some have said, it would anger a lot of people.

you are not going to lose your grenade...u will need to get ammo for it. do you lose your weapon when u run out of ammo? no

[Erei]

they said they entered them solo but had to use the "dev cheat button" to survive

So that mean a solo player as myself (my friends stopped playing a long time ago) can't make arkfall anymore... great.
I wish they add an auto teaming option for Arkfall.

The people that lost weapons any time they so much as glanced at the Salvage Matrix might disagree with you.

Not that I'm one of those people, but I'm very skeptical of any dev team who shoehorns new mechanics into an already established combat system... even dev teams that prove extraordinary competence in their field.

I'm guessing that it will be like you have a frag ammo pool, flash ammo pool and such. Enemies will tend to drop for the kind you've got equipped but if you run out of frag, you'll have to use flash and such until you find more frag.

That's not what I got from it. Did they say you had to be grouped? I think just anyone shows up and it creates as many instances of the inside of the ship as needed BUT what if you are an odd one out and end up in an instance with 4 people instead of 14 or whatever?

[Nefarious]

Do you lose your gun when you run out of ammo? why would you lose your grenade when you run out of grenade ammo? come on people....

Like if this is the case then I kinda get the idea that they are leaning towards a better sense of realism. But if its going to go that far then Trion should stop bunny hopping, make it so you have to eat to regain health, once shield breaks its gone....










....and you need to milk hell bugs to get Petrohol to fule your Roller...and yeah gotta milk'em...the hard way..

All for the sake of realism. Nah, I don't like it. Balancing stats is one thing, but players have gone out of their way to save scrip or unlock countless lock boxes to get a Legendary Grenade. That's not cool to jipp them out of all that. But I don't think its going to be the case, but really idk. Pls Trion do not do what we are all dreading and thinking you doing are with Grenades.

You seriously overpaid.

Wait, you are on X-Box....

You seriously underpaid.

Btw, if anyone ever needs a good laugh, check out the xbox economy

Hope you guys liked what we had to show. Going to take some time to read through these threads tonight and figure out what you want to know more about in the coming weeks so we can plan future Friday streams.

I'd really appreciate it if you could explain the limited grenade system. Say I have a favorite grenade I've been using since I started my character, and I use up my stock of grenades, Is it really gone for good? Because that's what Overload was implying.

And if you could, please tell us how these stims and spikes consumables will work with a controller. How are they replenished? Will enemies drop em? Are they purchased with scrip from vendors? Using real money in the Defiance Store?

I take it you missed the thread where a certain forum poster talked about how much money they earned by "selling pics" to the XBox crowd...
