Oh no, someone told you. :P

You can thank me by naming a gun after me.

I'll take that bat phone.

Trion - I would be very happy if with DLC we were given new EGO Powers...High Jump, increase armor and health regen, bio man boosts, other ideas?
Please make it so blades work off of melee damage, esp since you are limited which ego powers you can use while wielding a blade.
am I the only one who finds rockets worthless? low ammo, not much damage, slow reload, cannot kill any enemy with a single shot or most even with full clip even with direct critical hits.
finally please look into adding some new nano effects...ice / freeze, acid melt, explosive tip

Thanks.

Thank you KTAM people for the interview, and Etaew for the transcript. Most of the answers sound fairly good to me, except for the part about grenades. Yes, people on the forums are getting it, in that they understand how it's going to work. But that doesn't mean they're going to be happy about it. But hey, alpha testers did their best to tell Trion what is wrong with the system, now I hope they're ready to deal with some very unhappy players after it hits live.

Oh and yeah. So apparently now legendary grenades are not going to have a 0.0 fuse time, because some people mentioned that they like being able to bounce grenades. Well, I don't, and I've always looked for 0.0 grenades. So now grenades were essentially nerfed for me. This is the problem with removing itemization on grenades. The system used to offer a wide variety of grenades, from which people could pick and use what they liked best. Now we are all going to have to use the same things, which is so unlike the rest of the loot system that I still do not understand how this was deemed a good solution.

I only use my 0 det frag grenade and it took me forever to get a legendary one. It's the only one I like and also the only one any one was looking for. Now because some people have a bug that a 0 det grenade blows up when they throw it he decided to further ruin grenades for everyone and make sure no one had a 0 det grenade. I should stop being so upset on all the inane decisions and just take bets on what the stupidest idea is they will implement next.

Trick's actually working on a grenade blog post - but I'm sure we'll talk a lot of grenades tonight.

Was the Hunter's Arse post that went up today the grenade blog post you mentioned, or should we be expecting something more substantive?
