FYI on a grenade bug

[plebeian27]

Claimed a purple cluster grenade after the update/grenade fiasco and could not equip it to save my life. Tried everything, favoriting, un-favoriting, logging out, restarting game, restarting computer, etc. Nothing worked. Got on chat support and the ego level was too high for my character.



Apparently grenades have hidden ego levels; if you have more than one character and claim a grenade that came from a higher ego character, you're SOL. Had to sell the epic to make room for a POS blue just so I could equip clusters.

The more you know...

That's handy to know, the EGO levels should be visible since this is the case then and that claim boxes are bound to accounts and not characters...

It's probably a moot point at best since grenades have become virtually worthless but it was extremely frustrating not being able to equip them. Would have been nice to know which grenades to claim by which character.

I assume they didn't give you any hints about work-around?
Just a 'GFY', and have a nice day?

What were they thinking with these grenade changes?

you can NOT pick up grenades if your inventory is full. You may be out of grenades, but you need a space in your actual inventory in order to pick up that refill, because the dumb coding requires you to have space for any item you pick up, even a consumable that will instnatly be put into your currently empty stack.

Crasher - they asked me to submit a bug report (which I did) but offered absolutely no solutions whatsoever. I figured out I had to sell/breakdown the too high ego grenade to make room. The only answer I received was the grenade I had was level 4030-something or other on a character that was only 2630-something or other...and that they couldn't do anything about it.

Well duh...

The same thing they were thinking a few months ago when they announced that they would be changing the grenade system - How can we f*** the players this time?

At least you get to play. I tried to come back after a few months of GTA5 (which is starting to go down the same path as this game), but I keep getting critical patch errors, no matter what I do. I would submit a ticket, but unfortunately I'm not among Trion's privileged pets, so it will just get ignored like the other 15, or so, tickets I've submitted over the past 8-9 months.
