Attn Developers: Please expain limited use grenades. Will we lose our Orange Grenades

[GS Wraith]

Ssdmiddleman, I agree. Why break something that is working? Why not instead spend time fixing what is broke?

I like the way the cooldown works on grenades in this game.. they shouldn't change it.

Agreed I wish they'd change something else instead >.<

Not to mention, they're FINALLY spending valuable dev time fixing the horrible situation with grenades that EVERYONE has been complaining about.

Yeah, it doesn't seem as though this game is meant to last much longer, with the console refresh, tons of quality titles dropping, the game population dwindling daily...

I liked this game, I hope in the future more games like this come out for consoles... but hopefully they don't ruin themselves.

If you have an orange grenade, you WILL NOT lose it because you threw your fifth grenade. You will have zero of those orange grenades left until you replenish them. He said the enemies typically drop the grenade you are using, so switching to another grenade will give you something different to throw, OR...OR you can keep your orange grenade equipped and just wait to get a grenade drop for whatever type of grenade it is.

If you have a frag grenade equipped, you will get frag grenade drops from enemies. So you have to make a choice. Do you want to keep that orange frag equipped and just go without a grenade until you get a drop...or switch to a different type of grenade(bio, flash, cluster etc) and use it instead.

The way I took it was that you only lose the grenade you ran out of until you replenish it. This is actually one of the few good things they have done. It makes the game a tad bit harder, which is needed because this game is a very easy game.

There are way more things for us to complain about....most importantly our lack of content and lack of any reason to level past 1600. The only thing we really get is a smaller trade market as you level up, which kills the trade market for any high level player(since most of the population can't use his/her high level weapons). The limited grenade is a good thing imho.

What I worry about is the lag issues are horrible and now I have to go into the loadout screen to switch grenades, which will get you killed.

Why mess with a core foundation we have bad since day 1? Nothing is wrong with the grenades the way they are now. Why not FIX the problems going on with the game and work on ADDING new content to the game instead of changing the core that we are use to? Is that too hard to understand? As you can see, devs, no one wants this. It is just plain dumb.

From what I understood they said that the mob targeted by said grenade will have a higher chance of dropping the grenade. So is that grenade type? rarity included? I think the point is that if said grenade goes down to 0 is that not the same thing as losing that grenade entirely until you find one that is like it? Again it depends on what they mean is it just type? is it rarity also? we need an answer

[GS Wraith]

Exactly. If you read my original post, this is a question, not a complaint. I am very, very concerned about the way I am understanding it and I want confirmation by a developer. My friends and I were talking about it all Friday night and we thought we would wait for Q&A session at PAX on Saturday but we have never got an answer to our question yet. I keep checking the Dev Tracker for answers but so far have not received any. I started this thread to hopefully get some real answers as to what is going to happen. I asked for anyone to bump this thread to show that they want an answer as well. We will continue to discuss until we receive a response from a developer and have the actual facts.

BTW, I currently have someone who wants to trade a Clusternova to me for one of my weapons. I am interested in this trade but if this grenade will become useless after DLC2, then there is no way that I would trade for it. When I say useless, I mean that if it gets converted to lets say 5 grenades rather than the infinite supply I have now, that means my 6th grenade I throw may be a white lower powered grenade that I picked up after running out of my 5 orange grenades.

There are still grenades selling for 1 -1.5 miliion on the forums that may be worthless after the next patch / DLC. Wouldn't it be nice to know the facts of what is going to happen for sure? I think some people are trying to dump all of their grenades so they do not get stuck with them.

What's worse now is that if the public outcry is loud enough and they choose to scrap the changes, that too will take more dev time away from something useful.

Welcome to DLC 2, aka Grenadegate

[Chump Norris]

Wait till you hear the new feature coming with DLC 3. All shields will now have to be repaired or they risk permanently breaking.

^ Thats totally not true but it wouldnt surprise me.
