I know this has probably been asked but I was wondering if after CU will you still be able to use grenades to grind FS xp?

The current rumor is 90 seconds between throws. Everyone will just have to figure something else out.

It is that bad. I do have faith in all the hard core players out therre that will come up with another method to grind FS XP quickly. Sony may take one method away, but another will take its place.

I'm just glad my xp grinding is done with my main toon. It's waiting for phase 4 that matters above all. I'm glad I jumped on the nade bandwagon when I did.

Yes and No. Yes you can still chuck nades at things for FS exp (as it is now in the CU dont know if they will change type/ conversion etc etc. ), But no because it will not be as easy as it is now.

Nobody really knows yet. But, I hear grenades will be DoT...(just what I heard, no confirmation)

The possibilities of capping on combat xp through grenade grinding after CU is 99% not going to happen(at what it's currently at, sure you'll still get FS xp from throwing grenades during CU, but much slower imo), I am pretty sure they will remove this method. They want to make it harder for people to grind FSxp, not easier. Maybe they'll change it so throwing grenades give some sort of grenade xp? We will see. Best bet is to grind like a madman right now. They won't make it this easy.

The new grenades are super slow,only are DOT and don't do near the damage of the ones now. They will not be feasible at all for grinding FS.

No surprise here at all that Sony is doing this.


I have said it before, the CU is about making money not about making this game better.


Because this is a subscription based game, time is the money king. IE, the longer it takes you to achieve an elite prof, the longer you play and the longer it takes, the less effort devs have to put into new content.


Anyone that had fantasies that the CU was about making the game better needs to realize that the gaming business is about making money first and content last.


I knew this was gong to happen back in November when info on the CU first starting coming out.

WTH?! CU doesnt just make them more money. Its impossible for you to say that considering so many people want to leave, that means less money bud. The CU is in no means centered around FS grind. The whole system has been revamped so saying they did this JUST because of the village is down right narrow minded.



The village does not keep people playing at all, the gameplay does as well as fanboyism and a need for a sci-fi MMORPG which only excists in this one. After the CU I will still be playing the game on my main and two alts without question. There are certain points in this game that WoW and EQ2 dont have which keeps me drawn to it. And let me tell you, the village/nading/grinding are just not it -.-
