    Indeed. Thanks for getting around to it after what was no doubt a tough month !!

    I like that grenade-play is being considered as a real core feature with a nice tactical aspect, has a lot of potential this far out to provide real strategic variety.

    Grenadier skills and purchasable grenade variants (like different frags) are options I never really considered. Would be impressive to have precise targeting or some accuracy indicators but I can live without them and as you say, it may be subject to change. Eager to see where pineapples end up in EC :D

    Edit: that was terrible grammar. Blame simultaneously BBQing while trying to type on a phone >.<

    I formally request the following things:

    1. The ability to cook grenades for use in close quarters.
    2. The ability to throw both overhand (for distance/elevated targets) and underhand (for rolling/lobbing).
    3. Non-idiotic grenade physics. This isn't billiards/pool/whatever.
    4. If it's possible and not a severe burden on the server/computers/whatever, the ability to soak the grenade blast to protect another player(s). A fragmentation grenade doesn't magically harm everyone within it's kill/wound radii, the shrapnel typically stops inside of the first solid body it reaches (though these are grenades for Astartes, both in power and in relative size for a mortal human). I imagine that a meltabomb/phosphex bomb doesn't give a shit about who's in front of whom and will probably deal its maximal damage to everyone within its kill/wound radii.

    Been wanting info like this for a while. Nice to finally get some answers. =)
  5. I'm hoping that the grinades actually explode, and dont glitch you in the wall.

    Why would they glitch you in the wall?
  7. Sometimes shit just happens.

  10. My formally request is that when throwing a grenade you yell "GRENADE" to warn all your friendly players that you are going to throw a grenade around the corner and it would be rely stupid of them to charge around said corner at that moment.
