You hit the grenade button. You die. Grenade never launched.
Has this ever happened to you in Crucible?
You're one shot away from dying. In a last ditch effort, you hit the button to toss a grenade at an enemy team member. You die. The grenade never launched.
You're 100% positive with zero doubt you hit that button at least a second before you died.
Happens to me all the time and annoys the shit out of me. Kinda feels like I was cheated out of the possibility of a postmortem kill.
What causes this? Is it the reaction time of the console controller or the console itself?
Is it latency/lag on the XBox/Playstation service?
Or is it latency/lag on Bungies end?
Wondering what peoples thoughts are on this.

1 ReplyIt's because of latency (not usual lag) between consoles. On your killers screen you haven't launched the grenade yet so nothing happens. This explanation also works for getting killed while running behind a wall. For you you've just made it to safety, but for the enemy you haven't reached the wall. To adjust for this game devs generally let the shooter get the kill on the runner. Presumably because they hate us.

1 ReplyEdited by Mecha: 2/5/2017 6:58:23 AMThis happens but with my Throwing Knife. Usually I'm right in front of someone, shooting them with my sidearm. I'm about to die so I throw my Knife but it doesn't do so and I melee the air instead. I look at the cool down but it's charged. Hate it when this happens.

Same thing happens in CoD. Feels bad.

1 ReplyImagine you are your character. When you press the button you are thinking "I will throw a grenade" but you only thought about that. You still have to actually throw it which takes time to do if you were the character.
-
Destiny has a horrible tick rate. Google it
-
I have a feeling it's because the throwing animation doesn't complete. I certainly notice this occur more often on my Warlock than Titan or Hunter.
-
I've noticed that sometimes when I shoot my fusion rifle it will completely stop before it fires and put the weapon up like I am running, then before I can get the next shot off I've been taken out. Now I know that if you shoot you fusion rifle and you get killed before the darts land they magically dissappear, but to just shut down my shot is weird.

Oh a button blamer. That's cool

Or I've had it happen where you are running toward someone with a shotgun and you pull the trigger but instead your guardian starts sprinting again despite not pressing the sprint button again. It's weird and maybe done on purpose by bungie idk or some mechanic I'm unaware of. Yes it's a dirty shotgun rush but I'm pointing to the weird glitch of sprinting instead of shooting that's happening randomly. It's not just me either because I have 3 ps4's in my house and everyone has experienced it too.

It's a built in in-game mechanism, if you die before the grenade spawns or before your shotgun shell hits (during travel time) then it does not count/register.
-
Happens maaaaaaaaaaaany times to me [spoiler](I mean it real!)[/spoiler] together with: -your Shotgun shot doesn't count because you died while the shot -your Fusion shot doesn't count because you died while the shot

1 Replyit's the damage referee . the ref has decided you died before you actually launched the grenade, thanks to connection issues.
-
Edited by Baited: 2/4/2017 2:53:42 AMDamage referee, also why you'll notice this same thing happens when you were sure you fired that shotty shell and heard it too but no dmg.
-
happens with all things including weapons, especially shotguns and snipers. often you pull the trigger of a shotgun right before you die and see the pellets hit the other guy and do no damage, and then respawn to see that it took the bullet. same with snipers, you shoot and see the bullet trail hit the other guy and their body flashes as if you hit them but, no damage and it takes your bullet. grenades and otherwise thrown projectiles, you will appear to just barely begin the throwing animation but it won't actually come out of your hand and it won't take the charge. its latency on bungies end, to put it simply
-
It's even worse when it happens to your weapon. You pull the trigger on a shotgun at the perfect time for one shot kill and it just doesn't go off and you die to an enemy shotgun. That's the main reason I switched to fusion rifles. Red bar warriors always manage to win in shotgun duels but they usually get vooped by Saladin's Vigil.

All. The. Time. There's so many bugs in Crucible
-
[quote]What causes this? [/quote] Your death causes it.
-
Yes. Lots of times
-
There's a bug where certain grenades don't blow up just bounce
-
Noticed this happen a lot last crucible match. It sucks for sure.
-
Happens all the time Throw grenade, nothing Shoot, nothing Melee, nothing Crucible is a heaping pile of shit right now

Edited by standto2004: 2/3/2017 4:09:18 AMYou are trying to play pvp that's the problem. Bungie designed grenades for pve and they aren't certified for use in pvp I have noticed similar. Trying to jump or throw a grenade and I think getting happening. Don't know why
-
Seems that I can never pull of the panic grenade, but be damned if my enemies some how do it every time.

All day everyday
