Questions On Nade Launcher And Bile Bombs

Creamystew

<div class="IPBDescription">They are messed....</div> I remember playing in version 1 and nades and bile bombs used to do good damage....now in 1.01 they both do the same, which is almost nothing to structures. They must be running under the same code and both got messed somehow, but can anyone confirm this is actually messed or was it just nerfed?

If you had read the information on the patch release, it says:

<b>Grenade damage reduced from 200 to 180 (still does blast damage), clip size reduced to 4, rate of fire decreased slightly</b>

Also, from this read out, no changes were done to Bile Bomb

Of course I read it, we all have.......but when your playing in game thats a totally different story....

I dont know about grenade launcher, but I'm 100% sure bile bomb is bugged. I've done things like shooting 20 bile bombs at one turret, getting frustrated, walking up to it and seeing it is still at full health. Or shooting bile bombs at buildings from close range (before I realized melee is much better to destroy buildings from close range) and the health simply did not move. There's other topics about bile bomb being bugged (not sure if on this part of the forum or the Kharaa part)

I am suspect of the Grenade Launcher myself. It feels very under powered. When you Physically HIT structures with the projectiles and STILL need all 30 rounds, then have to restock and you still havn't destroyed an Offence Chamber.... well... you do wonder.... especially when you've managed to take out a Defence Chamber and then 1 or 2 Offense Chambers with the LMG before restocking.


Makes you go "hrrrrm".

Bilebomb does 0 damage to structures now, for some reason.

Hahaha I'm SURE Flayra has noticed that by now, and there have been many threads about this topic, xenocide, siege cannons, bile bombs, grenade launchers, etc etc. I am SURE we have their attention now, and I think we should just leave it for now and let them handle it. Just shhhh for now and I'm sure it will all turn out better in the end.

I noticed that before - it basically seems like the only thing I can use is acid rocket (meh) and melee claws - which is pain when you are trying to take out a turret centre in a farm of turrets <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

both work fine for me...

most likely its defence chambers or a gorge, or both, healing the structure faster than you can kill it, i get that alot!

I noticed the Bile Bomb bug last night. We had 5 Fades spamming bile bombs into a massive turret farm for roughly 5-10 minutes, we got frustrated and all charged for the turret factory, and noticed that the turrets were nearly full life still.

I hate it when losing marine teams build masses of turrets <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Poor_Yurik

Bile bombs are bugged. Yes. Grenade launcher? I don't think it got nerfed... cept for the fact that it no longer seems to explode on impact with aliens... Whitch is a real **obscenity** when an onos has cornered you...

JA1num

yea i told ya all Bilebombs are bugged! took me soo many shots towards a single sentry until i ran out of patience and clawed it down!!! IT DOES SO LITTLE DAMAGE ITS NOT FUNNY AT ALL!!!! at least the equal damage as a gren or higher coz it shoots soo slow and takes long time to recharge
