Are you a player who love fire attacks and like the ability of pulsar?
Why not lets ask the producers to come ou with a new weapon line of pulsar!

Supernova and Polaris are in space. So lets bring in Hyperion!

It statistics would be the same as polaris but its bullets will be red and expands as it travels! and deal fire effect on enemies! And its design would be a RED Gun with Orange glow and the barrel!

From 2* Pulsar, it will then become....

Pulsar -> Scorching Pulsar -> Volcanic Pulsar -> Hyperion

Isnt that a cool idea? :D Instead of the usual weapons.

This idea from SkyJT.
Hope you guys will like this brilliant idea!

P.S. Ummm.. if you guys really going to create it, mind giving us the gun that we think off. Due to the fact, it woul be really funny if others have it before us :D HAHA!
P.S.S. Sincee Hyperion is the game master name, you guys can also use Helios instead. *Koff*

Re-used content.

Recycling content isn't usually what people like. Hyperion sounds like the name of a Pokemon, and using Pulsar (Roarmulus Twins) with fire doesn't really match the theme.

PS: It's "P.P.S", not "P.S.S".

PPS: I don't think GMs do you any favors and just give you stuff for free for coming up with ideas.

I would love to see a Polaris-like gun that fired miniature suns. A normal fire-themed Polaris doesn't interest me at all, though.

wtf Hyperion?

Why not Red Giant? Or another star classification. Hyperion isn't a type of star.

lol

I like the idea of it being fire-type, but like Severage said, we are just going to be recycling content. If this was implemented, I would replace it for my Polaris in PvP. :3

@Hexzyle:

Here's an idea...

Create a new boss reward from Roarmy Twins, called a "Quasar" (20 tokens). Then, make the 4* weapon "Eta Carinae" (If you look that up you'll see what I mean), then, make the first-ever 5* weapon obtainable only through Shadow Lairs (Red Roarmy) called "Hyper-Nova".

The attack wouldn't be a clone of the Pulsar, either.

Quasar: Fires slow bullets, that start out large and slowly fade.

Eta Carinae: Fires slow bullets, starting out large, slowly fading, but have a small explosion if they don't hit a target.

Hyper-Nova: Fires slow bullets, starting out very large, slowly fading, and after about 1/2way through the bullet's lifespan, are liable to explode on contact with a large explosion.

At least it's better than "Pulsar Fire clone plz".

How about NO?

I don't want the Alchemer series to get completely outclassed.

Polaris and Supernova are both great elemental guns. We don't need to add any alternate lines. You want a gun with fire? Use the Volcanic Pepperbox or the Magma Driver.

@Renpartycat

Supernova isn't a elemental gun. It's normal.

@OP I think that this is exactly what we don't need. A new pulsar with fire.. great new content.

@Rangerwill

I knew that, I just accidentally messed up my post.

But yeah a fire pulsar will outclass a few guns and that wouldn't be cool.

Dark-Flare

Nope.avi

As cool as it would be, it's not good to recycle stuff (@ severage) and as renpartycat said, you're pretty much replacing the alchemers. But a fire style catalyzer on the other hand...

Spyash

we can't do fire style catalyzer though

if we do that gives catalyzer upgrades to -elemental-normal-shadow-

then pulsar needs another set

piercing or shadow- it has to be piercing otherwise the guns damages lap over each other

Kat-Kill-You

Please no

Pulsars and Supernova's are already pretty annoying to other team members, it would be worse to give more incentive to use them. If anything, they need to build up on piercing weapons more, they need an accurate piercing gun with decent speed.

1. Fire would be less annoying than shock. It can't get any worse.
2. This thread was dead and you brought it up to page 1. I'll-kill-you.

Hyperion?

Sounds like something Eevee would turn into if you gave it Red Bull instead of an elemental stone.

WAHY NAUT MAUK A NUW WUEPAN

WAHY NAUT MAUK A NUW WUEPAN TAT CAASES FIRE STATUS EFFFECT? LUIK A for SHOT HOOWWLLLITZER STYLE GUN THAT JUST FIRES 4 NORMAL SHOTS BUT THE CHARGE FIRES A CURSOR CHASING ROCKET SKULL SO YOU COULD USE IT TO HIT SINGULAR TARGETS? IT WOULD ALSO BE A NEW SHADOW WEAPON THAT HAS A RELATIVELY NORMAL ATTACK COMBO AND WE COULD PROBABLY MAKE IT A BOSS ITEM TOOOO. OBVIOUSLY THE ROCKET WON'T HAVE GREAT TURNING ABILITY BUT YOU CAN CONTROL IT TO POINT. ROUGHLY LIKE THE TIRE 2 HOWLITZER SKULLS AT 4*+

No... just... no.

Because we needed another weapon to hide from in LD.
Because we needed to make supernova more underused.
Because we needed the pulsar line to take the alchemer's place as the elemental damage+status gun, making it pointless to use an alchemer
Because we just needed to make another "overbuffed starter weapon"
Because we needed SO BADLY that we take the balancing focus from being mostly pulsar to entirely pulsar
Because we need to linearize loadouts further

Let's just make the pulsar line into the only elemental handgun series anyone uses besides AP. That sounds like a perfect idea

Seriously, while i entirely understand wanting roarmulus twins' shadow lair to gain it's own themed equipment, let's just not. Let us discuss this no further. It would almost be more liable a suggestion to make a handheld version of roarmulus's lazer.

Just... let this thread die... halt all further necroing... and graveyard this before it lays eggs.

Hyperion may not be a star,

Hyperion may not be a star, but it was originally the name of the Titan lord of light from ancient Greek mythology. Considering that sunlight/starlight is the most common form of light in the universe, it still kinda fits the concept. The idea of the gun itself, however, would be a bit redundant seeing as there is already an elemental Pulsar alchemy path. It would probably be cool, but at the same time, I don't really care for it due to the aforementioned redundancy of having two elemental Pulsar lines. Just my two cents.
