So do all on frag nova std 55z do same damage now as they no longer have an ego level? I kept 1 Orange nade of each type as I thought that may happen if I had more than 1 type. Adjust & overcome I suppose but my frag did 4300 max dam & I loved that puppy & don't want it to change.
I guess people will be non stop spamming nades in PvP now. Has anyone tested out stims in PvP yet?

All frag grenades are the same now. There are no different model numbers. Damage/radius/det time is based on rarity now.

I definitely vote NO!!! for the grenade changes. Just ran around for 45 mins without getting a recharge on my frag grenade....wtf!

[Mr666]

yes there should be a limit to how many you can throw

I hope they are tradeable because I would REALLY love a blue quality infector without having to grind for it. :P

I agree with the rest, i do not like the changes mostly because its another money sink in a game with no economy and Grenades were a source of income for me.. now i'm forced into these shenanigans while other parts of the game still get no fixes.

No i don't support the grenade mechanics coming.

They made a big deal about using the lie that they didn't want fix our existing weapons with broken stats because they didn't want risk breaking weapons that were still decent or make them worse. Now they make all grenades of the same rarity the same and a lot of existing grenades will have worse stats. Also significantly less valuable for trade.

This whole thing is just so dumb because it would have been very easy to change without making everyone mad. If they kept the unique stats and models made them refillable at ammo boxes with a stack of 5 it would have been much better. Borderlands does this just fine. Instead they pick the worst possible implimentation.

They impliment the one that makes them more money even though it is the worst way. So much work had to go into this change; the perks had to be changed, the weapons, the vendors, the drops and the grenades themselves. Did anyone ask for this change or wants it no, but they dont care because it will make them money. They dont care about their customers they just care about how much money they can squeeze out of them.

All the time and work that went into this could have been going into changing chat or balancing ego powers in PvP or one of the other great ideas that have been mentioned in the suggestion forums that almost seems pointless to have.

Nope. Not buying any more bits until they make inventory slots cross to every character in the account.

Every. Single. Thing. You. Buy. With. Bits. Goes. To. Each. Character.

Except inventory slots.

Ah, Trion.....you thought you had won me over, didn't you?

Come on. That's just ******** right there.

Totally agree with that.^^
My grenadegate vote for the record...
meh

So my Fragnova 55Z, 0 det I spent $800,000 scrip on, is now the same as the 150k ones?

Does my EGO of 4600 on the grenade still count???? One of my VERY VERY few perks to being a high ego???

cmon...cmon....don't tell me what I fear the answer is...

Trion...WTF IS YOUR PROBLEM WITH US VETS??? WTF DO YOU HATE US??? CAN U GIVE US SOMTHING PLEASE???

This is why I feel bad for developer who want to change some fundamental things with a game. People hate change, or hate losing something they have (i.e. change).
They yell and scream and it scares a lot of developers to not change things, even if it was for the better.
Sometimes, to the betterment of a game, you just have to let them make drastic changes.

...Of course on the other side of the coin, they should've had the systems in the way they wanted them to from the start. lol
