You're asking for a projectile weapon. Your projectile weapon has the ability to deal normal damage, potentially inflict status, and presumably bounce back to the user.

I'm saying we have projectile weapons: Handguns. Alchemers have the ability to potentially inflict status and bounce backwards. The Pepperbox line has the ability to deal normal damage and potentially inflict status.

What makes boomerangs unique enough to be considered something new?

I'm afraid this person has reached the "i don't care what you think" stage. All further response to this person will be disregarded, and is therefore not necessary. Be it known that I attempted to encourage this person to flesh out his/her suggestion further, yet this person has decided that my efforts were not worth care.

I enjoy removing self righteous behind from the forum. May I enjoy doing so without being raged at or told to stop?

On topic. What Manalicious was trying to do, was prod you for more ideas. Details, charge, mechanics. But hey, your idea is obviously so gewd, you don't need to give anymore ideas and the rest of the community should fill the holes for you. After all, we all want boomerangs, as shown by the 50 threads on the first suggestion page which all contains ideas for boomerangs.

Boomerangs? Plz, God forbid.... Now, If you really want a boss weapon look into the bow and arrow. (Hint hint, quiver acessory, hint hint)

The only thing I can see a boomerang doing is spamming zombies in FSC. moves likes dis: |_|

i imagine boomerangs, calibur and blast bomb which would = Link, or is it just me?

Geez, I leave this place indefinitely for no priorly specified reason which I care not to elaborate on and we get another stupid poster here thinking he/she has the right to do whatever.

"tsk tsk always so naive"

You lost all credibility as a sensible forum user at that point.

"i never said anything about a pepperbox you are just way off from what I'm saying."

If you ever learned to read, you'd see that the reason the Pepperbox was brought up was because it dealt NORMAL damage AND inflicted a status, much like your precious little idea.

"Your reasons are so flat just to get rid of one suggestion."

1) Flat? That's the best retort you can come up with? 2) Your reasons for IMPLEMENTATION are so 'flat' "Zomg guise I want boomwrang gimme"

"You seem to not know what i mean by BOOMERANGS and pepperboxes since a pepperbox is a gun as you can see and a boomerang and a throwing object."

Projectile weapon. Lrn waht is.

"I would love to see boomerangs in Spiral Knights"

Yeah, and I've love to have a glowing lazor sword that could be transformed by my hand and swing in 270 degree arcs with explosions on every hit with a 20 square hitbox length that deals infinite damage to anything it hits so I can kill off the GMs too.

Your argument is weak, your attitude is poor, and frankly, you didn't put much thought into your 'idea' at all.

Continue the discussion from Zeddy's post. At least it has some thought.

Why are you not Psychodestroyer and instead someone different?

In terms of wanting something for this game but actually giving details for it, try this.

my hope crashes to the ground, never to be rebuilt. what a cruel world.

main topic: Boomerangs

its a possible weapon, here is a take on it.

Weapon mechanic:

- the weapon is almost like a sword swing and it would not go through enemies.

- the weapon does not inflict status, instead its hits are pure elemental.

- when the weapon is thrown, it goes 3 squares away from the player. base on the location of the player and the monsters, it will hit the first monster in its path then bounce to the nearest monster. it will return to the player base on this same rule. hit the nearest monster that is 3 square feet or closer to the player.

* the crucial variable needed to perform this is a probability function: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_theory

- the player moves at a very slow speed while the weapon is launched.

- if the player receives any-kind of damage, weapon instantaneously comes back/teleport to the player hand.

- the weapon cannot be unleashed if the player is receiving any-kind of damage. which means, if the player is on fire, shock, poison ( not damage, but is included) and curse. ( this factor can be removed if it is to restrictive)

- the weapon stays airborne from the time it is launched about 4 seconds given that the player wasn't not damaged from its its initial point. 2 seconds launched from the players hand, and 2 seconds to return. anymore then that will result in the weapon teleporting back to the players hand.

- the player can launch the weapon while he/she is frozen.

- if the weapon were to run into the player before the time for it to return, it would go back to the players hand.

- the weapons speed would decrease the farther away it got from the player and increase the closer it got to the player.

- the weapons line from 3 star to 5 star can be modified to have a wider boomerang or to have it have a shadow hit. the shadow hit would be a second weaker hit from the initial hit. it could be described as two boomerangs thrown, one at the top and another at the first shadow. the second would be disguised as the first shadow.

- the damage ratio could be weaker then a callibur star 3, but stronger then a cutter star 3.

- once the weapons returns to the players hand, it will take 1 - 2 second cool down time depending on the type of boomerang before it can be relaunched.

- the weapon act in the same nature with blocks or obstructions as it does with enemies. it will hit any blocks or obstruction 3 square or closer to the player.

- things like Trojan shield, robotic knight shield, Almirian Crusader's shield, Cursed Deadnaught/Slag Guard shield, and the new slag guard for the legions of almire update shield will block the boomerang.

- the weapon will not hit a monster twice unless it is an intending effect.

some reasons to create this weapon:

- while the weapon is launched, the player can use this chance to observe and preposition himself/herself during the live battle scenario.

- the player could hit multiple targets to draw their attention to himself/herself.

- the player could hit targets that are in a mid-range distance from himself/herself while dealing with up close targets.

- the weapon has the advantage from a gun because other targets other then the initial can be hit without having to aim at them.

- the weapon has an advantage from a sword because it can hit targets that are close range and mid-range.

- just because there is a similar weapon, does not mean other similar weapons cannot be created base on that weapons effects.

- it could have cosmetic value.

- it could be used as an item for funny jokes. ( just kidding)

some reasons it might not be worth creating:

- the alchemizer line has a very similar ricochet effect.

- the effort in creating the weapon might not have the intended result.

- some players might dislike this new line of weapon because it does not meet their expectations.

- it is not a weapon that is design for all situations.

in theory, this weapon is possible. the only question is, is it worth it?
