many people complain about: 'hey your bomb is invisible';'WTH why is there an invisible VT' and stuff like that. I don't like my bombs being invisible, It's unfair and mean and other players can't help it. Of course when they run in, I start to attack them, duh, and then these comments appear.
I often have to complain about BKC's or chaos ppl ( or skolvers) running into my bombs and not getting shocked even though they are not shock/stun resistant. They combo me, I'm almost dead I don't have enough time to lay another bomb, and so that's my death :(
I would appreciate it A LOT if OOO could fix this (put this maybe in the gunner update) so bombing would be more pleasant for bombers and others. Thank you
Bombs are so glitchy

People just need to disable Cull Transients and think twice before storming onto your point. It's not your fault, it's theirs.

I have cull transients disabled and it still happens. It's OOO's fault, like always.

No, it's because your hardware isn't good enough. Good PCs handle it better than worse PCs. Actually, no. That's bad reasoning. OOO should be able to fix it. That said, you could fix it yourself by upgrading your PC.

Invisible Bombs FTW
Don't worry, your invisible bombs are perfectly "fair". People can change the graphic settings the same way they can toggle AT. Its part of the game mechanics man.
Also does deadly charcoaler really make people lag that much? I play on a pretty old computer with ~3 bars, but I don't lag at all from it. Whenever I bring out the deadly charcoaler everybody getting hit by it starts complaining about lag and puts the hate on my bomb :(

ok well
as said: that is only 1 point of my OP, and if contri says It's still like that I guess it is. I also experience invisible bombs when playing vs other bombers.
My 2nd point of my post is there too, please don't just concentrate about invisible bombs!

Oh... I forgot that I must buy an OP computer to copensate OOO's faults....

I'll second the motion that this has happened to me even without cull transients enabled, or a bad computer for that matter.
If we're talking about bombing in LD we might as well discuss how the blast radius of a bomb should not be displayed to the enemy team.

when bombs don't work
also yeah i rarely get caught by invisible bombs, but it should go without saying that there's also the fact that people don't have sets that can deal with those threats on standby - i'm not implying roll your life savings away, i'm simply saying invest in sets like mercurial, grey feather, dread skelly, etc. in fact i think those three sets can work rather well for people who don't want to invest in anything else.

^You're not thinking. You
^You're not thinking. You shoudn't have to craft crappy LD sets like those to compensate for glitches (aka things that are not intentional game mechanics).
Ive found bombs are sometimes invisible and someties not with no change in settings. But usually they are invisible if you dont see it being laid down.
Does anyone know when the invisible bomb glitch started? Im fairly certain it mever happened when the blast radius had the circles not filled.

"What? Crafting sets that don't have damage bonus or offensive stats?! That's heresy! By gosh, I will run through that Shivermist in my Chaos if I do so please! Certainly you couldn't be using your brain if you're thinking about defensive stats as a viable option!" ~ A peculiar pasta dish, circa 2014

i would like to take a minute an exercise a moment of silence to honor our pasta dish's loss, as he's clearly dead from the neck up to make that sort of conclusion from what i said. RIP last two neurons.
the point wasn't to prepare for things you can't see, it was to prepare for bombs in general since there are people who use them in LD. "but it should go without saying that there's also the fact that people don't have sets that can deal with those threats on standby" isn't say to gear up for things you can't see, it's saying to gear up in general. if there's a particular bomb that gives you trouble, build one of the above sets. how in the flying *@!^ you drew the conclusion of using gear to circumvent a bug is beyond me, because i never made that correlation. it's almost like you prefaced the "You're not thinking." bit so this way we all knew your post would be half-assed but still just as full of %*#&. so thanks for that i guess.
conversely, if you're not going to invest in other sets for LD just because they don't have the damage maxed out, then this is for you. i'd say prove me wrong, but we'd be here for weeks on that one.

You can't freeze lock people for weeks, Rete. Just until the end of the game ;)

this makes me laugh
On second thought, this is why I propose replacing my Vog Cub armor with Mercurial.
Then going recon.
How will you find me now, you spam-happy VT'ers?

Mmmmmmm bombs.
No. Just no.
Invisible bombs shall be the bane of everyone >:3 even if it means me.
On a more serious note, no. 'Invisible bombs' are like a message, saying ''Be careful of your surroundings next time!''. A lot of the times, you learn that it is sometimes a graphic error. But overall, invisible bombs are fun to use and fun to detect.
