Please keep the grenade flick!
Ironman
Please do not remove the grenade flick "glitch". The "glitch" is when you throw the grenade in the air and the quickly re-grab and then let go of the grenade to launch it forwards with more speed than normally possible. This has overall benefited the competitive paintball community by being an entirely skill based technique that leads to more interesting gameplay, a higher skill ceiling, and it normalizes the differences in grenade throwing ability across different locomotions and different VR systems.

yes

i’m just gonna put it at this: if you have to resort to using glitches to get kills, you probably shouldn’t be playing
Liam Gd & other
Pheonix God: bruh it needs skills you can miss like 99% of the time
Gandalf
Liam Gd & other: cough no it doesn't cough. people constantly say "it's hard to learn and use" but it really isn't. I legit taught 7 of my friends to do it in under 3 minutes each. just throw a grenade in the air and pretend you're thowing and object and grab, done. it's extremely simple to learn. the hardest part about it is learning how to time the grenades fuze to blow up where it needs to be. that just takes time and memory.

Dont complain about this bug, its jsut throwing it farther. you can still time a detonation without doing the glitch, this is called grenade cooking.
Anpanmannix.
-Painted GX-: you cant really throw it far anymore :v

It's a broken technique that is unrealistic, confusing and frustrating to unknowing players who get hit by it. Fun to master, but is overall really unfair and even if not exactly a glitch is still a really bad 'mechanic' even in competitive play. Completely unavoidable.

Khaan: Yeah, I'm not even a new player, I just don't really play either of the rro pvps that often and this gets really frustrating. Like you said, it's unrealistic so it's confusing when the physics are weird and I'm still just trying to get a hold on things, much less a lot of new players who probably also get discouraged. I just can't do the super competitive thing but I'd still like to play (and I don't have enough people to play private)
amari
personally, i don't think it's that bad, its like timing a grenade so it blows up just where you target is.
It is also possible on screen and all VR headset(I saw some comments saying it is not possible on screen, it is you have to throw the grenade and grab it back instantly)

Removing this would seriously mess with the physics engine, and the devs would have to COMPLETELY remake the physics engine to do this

Jonathan
Charder: There isn't really any evidence that it would mess with the physics engine.
Charder
@Jonathan: It is not cheating, as it is easy to combat and avoid
J
Jonathan
Charder: It's a glitch and you're exploiting it to gain an advantage. You can't avoid it, coming in that fast you can't catch it. Not to mention screenmoders can't do it.
bigjesus
it is very avoidable, you can just get behind an obstacle before they throw it. Most well thrown grenades arent avoidable one they're in the air anyways. Also, i have caught many glitch thrown grenades when i haven't been able to dodge them
J
Johanna
Charder: maybe you haven't played against a good flicker. You can't easily avoid them, you have to hope they miss.
Charder
Johanna: Have you seen bigjesus's post?
Not everyone is a "good flicker" u fricker
Also, why did you post a solution to it and are now arguing with me about having it removed?
J
Johanna
Charder: i was only commenting that flick grenades are hard to avoid and nothing else. I don't know where you got the idea i was arguing with you about having it removed from that comment. Play against a good flicker and see how hard it is avoid when your not behind an object. It's impossible to move out of the way in time. You just hope they miss.
Charder
Johanna: Im gonna ignore you
bigjesus
I play against great flickers almost everyday in private games and I have learnt a lot on how to avoid them
amari
Charder: not everyone is good at shooting that doesn't mean we should remove guns.
Charder
amari: Exactly!!!
btw.. did you mean to @ Johanna?
Kael Jones
amari: exactly. Heck, I have the aim of a stormtrooper (probably because I’m on an IPad) but guns are still one of the best things in the game! How else are we gonna have PvPs? It’s simply not a PvP without guns.
J
Jonathan
No, remove it. It's a glitch and people using it are in fact cheating. It's as simple as that.
Charder
Jonathan: you cant remove this without having to completely redo the physics, that would take alot of time and we would be stuck with bugs for the time being, they cant remove it "as simple as that"
J
Jonathan
Charder: The simple as that refers to it being cheating if people use it.
Not sure if you haven't already noticed but we already have bugs.
Charder
Jonathan: That part was my fault, i thought u meant removing the "glitch" would be as simple as that
Kael Jones
Jonathan: seriously!?!!?! It’s not even a glitch! It’s just using the physics engine to their advantage!
Devon
It’s really just not fun though
bigjesus
I find it much more fun
Kael Jones
bigjesus: finally, someone who is actually making any sense
bigjesus
Kael Jones: this canny is a year old, glitch nades won't be added back. There's no point messaging here since most people have probably quit/don't care for glitch nades any more.
UnityTrap
they never will grabbing stuff from far away is what rec room has been doing since 2016
Spooky Max
Flicking grenade is already difficult because it messes up the physics engine so much that it’s not even worth trying aim with it so I think just fix it because I don’t use the flick method often unless it’s before a game starts or I’m just messing around.
bigjesus
uh
