A new bomb... YES! Can't wait. Sadly, I'll have to wait till tomorrow to best the Snarbolax.

A sword attack+ shield that goes up to 5* is pretty promising.

On a different note, looks like they just upped the difficulty of FSC o.O Curious to see which pads were switched to blocks. I think the only one that gets excessive use is the one in the last room of Depth 27. If all the others are no longer pads it doesn't make much difference for my play through.

The Snarble Barb sounds like

The Snarble Barb sounds like it has projectiles. So a hybrid of the Spur and the Flourish...that goes up to 5*? I gotta see how that plays out. I wonder if all the shields have sword power increase.

Also curious if they will be 25 tokens like JK, or less, so that the boss requirements scale.

Changing to block is probably

Changing to block is probably to negate heat farming. It was awfully nice to have a person who didn't need heat sit on the spikes a bit for you to res them with no consequence.

Once we update the site

Once we update the site you'll get a fancy pic of the boss in the form of a new wallpaper! It shows an up-close shot of what the Snarbolax really looks like... or does it?

Dun dun duuuuh!

Really looking forward to seeing what the new Wildwood maps / Snarbolax look like.

Also can't wait to see what the new equipment looks like. The descriptions for them caused me to come up with ideas of what they might look like, or maybe what I would personally make them look like if I was able to.

The ''dark'' descriptions of the new boss lead me to think that maybe it does Shadow damage? The description made me think of Gomez from Majora's Mask.

I feel sorry for the new Snarbolax. I can see the hordes of T3-ready knights that are going to descend upon it when the proper gate rolls around, bringing their final flourishes and dusty hunting blades to farm those items. :P

I would do no such thing!

Actually...

A new T1 boss is an excellent chance to equip a brand new set of 3* gear and start heating it up in an environment where wearing all 3* is just fine, for anyone wanting to try a new set of gear.

This could be the case, but keep in mind, that the jelly king is HORRIBLE for heat. We could have the same thing here.

The bosses themselves are

The bosses themselves are poor heat, but the stages accompanying them are pretty good heat. Lots of monsters to whomp.

We're going to reconfigure

We're going to reconfigure the gates a bit to accommodate the new content. You will be able to play it immediately following the update.

Thanks

Just wanted to say thanks for the update, nick. I know you guys have taken a lot of heat (haha) lately but I'm glad to see you're pushing new content and keeping on keeping on.

I'm super excited about the update and looking forward to shooting the face off of a Snarbolax instead of working.

No new guns or gun related items?

Seriously?

Gunslingers were already feeling left out in the cold. Now you add a new boss with no new gear for us?

A poison gun is a much needed addition, and it would have been perfectly logical here.

Instead the most powerful and well represented item class gets two amazing new items.

The rich get richer and the under dogs get ignored.

"The rich get richer and the

"The rich get richer and the under dogs get ignored."

There are five different kinds of 5* Handguns: Magnus series, Alchemer series, Autogun series, Blaster series, Antigua series.

Until now, there were only three kinds of 5* Bombs: Blast Bomb series, Haze Bomb series, and Graviton Vortex. (Crystal Bomb series does not go up to 5*.)

We really needed a new kind of 5* bomb. What concerns me about guns is not the lack of variety but the lack of... well, firepower. (And, yeah, Poison would be nice.) There's discussions in the Arsenal forum on this issue.

Anyway... I am going to beat that boss, then buy the piercing bomb with the tokens... which I will then use to beat the boss again. :D

Here's hoping, Fossa, that they're going to do some fundamental gun reworking as opposed to just putting out new content.
I don't expect it, but here's hoping.

UV question.

Ok here is my question. Possibly out of place as it could refer to antigua, sealed sword, and fang of vog as well.

Is it possible for weapons such as these and the ones listed above to have a unique variant before upgrading them? And will the new gear be bound upon purchase? I imagine so.

I got this image of the boss (not talking about Snarbolax) when you meme-d: Dun dun duuuuh!

All that's needed is to draw a dapper toupee and mustachio for a Nick meme.

@Fossa
I think the new boss theme gives some of our dusties (Magnus series/Blitzneedle) like your UV Callahan more love. Also, if the new theme incorporates piercing, the gunners are one step ahead of everyone with their protection. The rumored new shield sounds like a gunner's best friend. I'm not sure if I'm going to breakout the max piercing uv owlite I crafted yesterday... although PvP coming soon and I need as much protection from gunners like you.
