I definitely agree about the hitbox thing. With the lag compensation on bombs, it is hard enough as is. Tweaking the hitboxes would help.

I also wouldn't mind some indicator as to how far a blast will carry.
Ok, that sounds bad, but hear me out.
As of now, teams can kill their own players. I honestly don't think the SK community can handle friendly fire very well. I have been trapped by team mates many times. Would I like friendly fire off? Yes I [freaking] would. But I don't see that happening.
Another issue is that, due to the camera angle, you can't really see what awaits you at the bottom of the screen. Same issue with Slag Guards in FSC charging up from the bottom. Would I like the camera to pan out more so we can see? Yes I [freaking] would. But I don't see that happening.

So what I would feel would help getting blown up randomly by your team or unseen bombs from below is some sort of flash where something is going to blow up. Maybe like a Retrode's beam? Or maybe just make the last square of where the blast will reach flash for a second.
I know it doesn't really fit the premise of Bomberman (and this is either a rip-off or homage), but with an online game with major latency issues across the board, and a community filled with 12 years olds and people who aren't just very bright, something needs to be done.

- afk timers:
it would really help if there were some afk timers in the random group battle mode. teammates go afk and you automatically lose because they're feeding the opposite team that's just frustrating.

- hitboxes:
tweaking/fixing hitboxes would be awesome aswell, yes.
it's very glitchy right now and with the latency issues spiral knights has anyway, it's a nightmare sometimes and takes all the fun.

- payout:
in the gap between blast network going live and the problem with queues i can remember seeing the 3 first players being rewarded, now it's only 2.
and also first place's price was around 730 i think and now it's something like 635? did your boss see u're being too generous and demanded re-setting the value?

- token items:
i realize the reason why pvp is even out is so people waste their crowns and eventually more CE is bought, but making the recipes a bit cheaper would be great. i can't stand this bomberman copy and 50 coins is really hitting the fan just for a recipe. (for people who say "just buy it from someone else": no.)

Why not change the ranking calculation? By the looks of it, the people who play the longest get the most points. We want to see the most skilled players on top, not the ones that play the most. How about ranking the players based on the kill/death ratio? Or the length of time alive? Or both?

I have another suggestion: If you have two people tying for first, please don't make one person 1st and the other 2nd. x_x Make them both first place and have the next one down be in 2nd.

"We need to be able to see the whole map as bombs range is so large you get killed by bombs on the otherside of the map, never played a bomberman like this and it doesn't work."

Already mentioned this in my post. I guess when you type big long paragraphs, people think of it as a chore to read, or something.

"Also you shouldn't lose all your powerups when killed, it leaves you way too far behind and also you can't get them back as once 2 ppl have long ranged bombs they just destroy all the new powerups.

I think powerup bomb range is too powerful, whenever i get lots at the start i win, if i can only find a couple it's a loss, i noticed the winner most of the time is the first to get long ranged bombing."

I think the power ups are pretty ok, the only problem I have is the number of power ups. Every game there is like 15 power ups appearing every 10 sec, that should be fixed so that power ups appear more often by breaking blocks and players should drop at least part of their consumed ups when they die
