Are you as interesting in-game as you are in the forums?
Ask Fehzor her opinion on anything!

@Blazz
They need normal attacks, or something besides charge attacks. The whole 'bombers charging constantly' thing is what makes them a lackluster choice. You can't go hack and slash and shoot and strafe while mashing keys when you're charging a bomb. And by the time your bomb is charged, your swordy friends have killed everything.
I'm sure it could be balanced in some way.
-----
If they aren't ever to get that, then reducing their charge time constraints would be the next best thing. Right now, bombs are almost unusable without a decent amount of CTR. What bombs need, is to have the effects of CTR drastically reduced, and to have their base charge times reduced to make up for it. The way I see it, they'd be a bit faster charging at max CTR than they are now, and at around very high from the start- or ultra with the natural med they get.
That way, bombs will be more usable with other setups... without costing several dozen times more than swords/guns.
(All credit goes to Zeddy- an actual bomber unlike me, the hybrid scum- for pointing these things out)

..I guess? I use interesting gear often enough. Like winmillion and stagger storm.

I see, so you use hybrid combat like me? You shouldn't be ashamed fehzor, you were never meant to beat the game with just one type of weapon, some ppl may disagree, but the combat style and the movement pattern of the monsters in game are designed specifically to punish the use of certain weapons, ever tried to bomb vana? It works, but it is definately not the most efficient way, and the efficient way is the best way. (not fun, but the best.)
And now, question of the day:
Do you believe the legitmency of the spiral order's operation on cradle, are our cause justified? Killing millions of Gremlins, destroying their facilities and killing their generals, sure they are nasty towards each other, but is that a reason to exterminate them with prejudice? Kora, Hahn and Feron only told me the part of the story that I wanted to hear, but really, did we ever hear gremlin side of the story?

While that is absolutely true, people like Zeddy and Krakob know things that we hybrids don't figure out... like alt placing bombs or mid-stepping. I know how to do these things, but it took me aeons to notice and figure out about them. Hybrids just don't need to do these things- if you have swords buffed just as much as guns and bombs, it makes more sense to hit once, shoot twice and then backstep to start charging up your bomb than it does to swing, midstep, end combo + backstep and repeat.
Of course, that's kind of why I am inclined to agree with Zeddy in the first place. Swords + guns flow very very well toghether. I can hit with DA's first attack and then use argent peacemaker to deal damage without risk after they've been pushed back. But if I try that with a bomb, I have to charge the thing first and it just isn't as fluid. It does work if I bomb then charge a sword to attack, but that isn't the same.

As for the morality issue, there is never a good cause for genocide. That said, the Spiral Order is only defending itself. It was Cradle's inhabitants that shot down the skylark, and even then the Spiral Order gave the others a chance- they didn't kill 100% of gremlins, they let Punch and Vise as well as all of Emberlight live. The strangers are an entire race that we work with. They weren't given much chance but to fight, as all of the mobs are hostile to begin with.

I have no mouth and I need to scream
I'm all for the ctr to be reduced. Originally, when i first saw bombs in this game, I thought you could drop them rapidly. I'd personally allow bombs to blow up things such as minerals and concrete blocks in a single hit.
Do you have anything from the cutter line? (Mainly dread venom striker and the wild hunting blade)How do you think they could be better?
While on that, what do you think of the fang of vog? Do you think it's severely underpowered or is it just fine where it is?

Cutters are alright.
I think that their charge attacks should give the user a buff orb upon use. Specifically, an attack orb with about 20 seconds on it. The buff would kick in after the charge completed, and would be intended to allow an all out assault with the weapon, which benefits greatly from said buff.
And yes, I have DVS and WHB.
Fang of vog is fine as is, though I wouldn't mind if it became exactly like the cutter line (but slower) instead of like a derpy brandish.

You what? No ice cream?? D:
Anyhoo, what's your opinion on a balanced gate? Fair challenge, good amount of pay, all that jazz. I know some of the levels are crap, so you can leave those out if you want.
Balanced, as in not just saying arena arena arena fsc.
This might sound tedious, so you can
-start from T3 and to the core
-start from T2 and to the core
-Be a complete renegade, go all out and name 29 levels.
You can also give a name. Be careful about that though, the walls have ears.

On a snarbolax gate-
S1: Shock Themed
S3: Shock Themed
S4: Fiend Themed
S5: Shock Themed
S6: Fiend Themed
The gate would alternate between shock+fiend themed clockwork tunnels levels and shock+fiend themed slime compounds levels until the last three depths, which would all be treasure vault rotations with 3 shock+fiend themed compounds/CT levels.
There would be 3-4 ice themed fiend clockwork tunnels levels mixed into rotations as well, just so that people wouldn't notice them when they equipped their shock resistant gear.
D28/D17 would be as follows:
-Treasure Vault
-Graveyard
-Arena = shock+fiend
-Arena = shock+fiend
-Compounds
But would be glitched to never give either arenas or treasure vaults.

This gate would be nice because it would allow me to fight lots of shock themed fiends, which are the best enemy ever.

That Wonderful Smile is gone for Eternity
What's the most horrifying thing you find in this game? And, since this is in the Arsenal subforum... uh... favorite Blast bomb? Or, if you prefer, weapon series?

Horrifying? Probably the way that the dev team is slowly falling apart lol.
Favorite weapon series? Well, catalyzer for the obvious good game design where it doesn't work.

If ever such a majestic beauty existed, what would you think of a curse stratum with curse themed devilites, greavers, and gorgos?
I can imagine you're bouncing off the walls with excitement.

It would be easier than a shock/fire themed stratum filled with fiends.
