Nope. I can't. I feel I'm getting short-changed for some reason.

As their weaponsmith, it's up to you to inform them. If you are too lazy to do that and put that on the devs, it's obvious that you don't want to sell/make useful stuff. You just want to bitch about how un-useful it is to you.






You hit the head on the nail, Padawan.


I'm lazy, I don't like typingweapons stats in the spatial chat anymore, and I don't like explaining why the code of this gameis bugged. I don't deny this.


But I see, PadawanChong would prefer to defend a buggy game.I guess I'll just keep making useless stuff, in the interum, until someone listens to me, instead of PadawanChong, who insidently would have everyone throwing uselessduds. If I'm wrong, tell me I'm wrong. What am I wrong about?


Call me lazy. Call me a bad crafter. Call me a bad business man.


But don't ever call me silent in the face of buggy code. I won't shut up, til I get my moneys worth... Unfortunately.


Hey thnx for the sticky! Oar

Point out what's buggy, other than your ability to sell...

Grenades have their uses. Just because you don't know how to market them doesn't mean they don't sell. I have made millions off them. They are in high demand but not many master make them cause they are a pain in the ass. I will always make them cause they are the bread and butter of my buisness...so I am cleaning house.


The glands technically could be used to make rocket launchers if you had multiple glands with the same ID, it's just feasable to try though. A good weaponsmith can make an exceptional launcher out of them if enough could be gathered but why bother on a 30-35 shot weapon?


Grenades cause some big damage. Many use them on lairs to add a little extra punch to kill them faster. Many BH's find them useful to blow their targets up that spawn inside a wall.


The higher skill level grenades have a larger AOE makeing them more useful in PvP. A well timed grenade toss with a proton grenade will lay out multiple people. I have seen it. Glop grenades are not useless. People use what they are certified with and Glop grebades offer another damge type.

Common internet slang defines a troll as: Someone posting just to make ohter people mad.

I never see anyone using grenades for anything except combat exp farming. For non-commandos, C12 damage/speed is so low that you'd do more damage to lairs by shooting them normally, and for commandos the higher level grenades use absurd amounts of HAM. All grenades suffer from poor accuracy and short range, and the larger radius ones will probably hit you too if you're trying to use them on a moving target from ideal range (10m).


The disposable weapons, especially the HPBC, have much better accuracy and range, and an AR3 weapon with 2000+ damage will one-shot most people in PVP. Damage types aren't particularly useful in PVP since there's no stun grenade and most high-end PVPers use composite with 70+ resists to all but stun.




POKEY THE PENGUIN SIG REMOVED BY GARVA BECAUSE "Just because you are crafty enough to get around the technicality of it being a .jpg or .gif does not mean it is not an image, it is not ascii art, it is an image" SO HERE IS MY NEW SIG.

Actually, I had a friend on Radiant (Xavien - he still plays) who even as a Master always had a healthy stock of grenades ready. I gave him so many when I cancelled my account that I'm sure he still has plenty.


He mostly does PvE from what I know...

I was unaware that Klikniks could go in Proton Grenades - or is it a piece of some other component? As far as I know, they go in C12's, C22's, Cryobans and Glops. That's it...



I will have to double check but I am almost positive they can..I could be mistaken though. Might have my schematics confused.

You do. Glop is highest Klik fits into.


After it's sliced and pup'd, your looking at roughly: 3spd/2500max, Acid, 100/30/20 HAM. AOE 2.0-2.5 Range ~10m

I believe you do. Unless something has changed with a patch, Glops are as high as they will go.
