*Watches market burn*

(Wish I could modify it somehow to fit)

Hyperion only said that if the bomb is in your inventory you own it.
He said nothing about having 1000bombs and getting 1000tickets.

Btw, how long until the server shuts off for patch?

Recalling what Nick said about the rationale behind this change: "The current shard-style bombs are functionally, not very bomb-like... guns fire bullets, bombs create areas of damage, and swords do a mix of the two." (So why not make every sword shooting swords? The Sealed Sword line kind of does that.) An equally legitimate (and safer solution) would be to implement Nick's idea into a new line of bomb first, see how the reception is, then decide if the new change should be rolled into RSS.

AFAIK, we never received a clear message from Nick on why we couldn't implement the alternate solution.

Anyways, when can we have a review of the new shard bombs? I want to know if I should spend money on SK or Guild Wars 2.

Welp I'm weeping. I waited and chatted around to get a consensus on the ticket limit, and now I was only able to craft one with Beast High. And bought another recipe for nothing. Guess it was my fault though for waiting and asking around with several things popping in my head like are they selling quick at the AH, or should I craft 3*, etc.

YOU WILL HAVE A RIGHT TO COMPLAIN (in my opinion as a humble consumer).

People will have every right in the world to complain if they don't get 1 ticket per bomb crafted. The wording was ambiguous. What's more, it became INSTANTLY clear that players were throwing all their wealth/ce at ragecrafting. It was even asked multiple times in this thread (which has had GM interaction since the question was posed). No GM stepped in and clarified. Therefore it would be a great breach of business ethics (in my opinion) if they knowingly let everyone throw their money/ce away and did not clarify, when clarification was asked for. I understand the counter-point on a very intuitive level. BUT!!!!!! This game is a SERVICE to people who pay for it. If you are in a 'service' industry you cannot take a big dump on your customers. And again!!! What's more is, it would be a breach of business ethics (in my opinion). Almost the worst thing a company in any industry can do is be blatantly unethical in disservice to its customers.

I'm more annoyed how our undead killing bombers are going to be turned into pure pierce forcing us to craft a new bomb so we can have an elemental bomb making people pay another 2000ce and w/e crowns they spend doing UV rolls if they don't get the UV they want. The 3 UV ticket I will get for my RSS is hardly worth it. Making RSS the elemental bomb.. especially when it is called Radiant Sun Shards would of been the more logical thing.. but at the same time Three Rings wanted more money so if you are thinking about money making RSS the pure pierce bomb would of been best.

Either way.. its nothing more than a bait and switch with a gift that still doesn't make up what we have spent on our RSS bombs.

wait... so if I get home in 8 hrs, would i still have enuff time to start ragecrafting?

Derp moment gunna go play with my new gimped bomb.

Holy molys, you announced this before it went live? OOO, I thought you were smarter than that.

There was one DPS elemental bomb and now it's been turned into pierce. Well, that's a pain for all bombers, since we have to buy a new bomb and roll on it to replace its use. Did anyone actually use RSS for Devilites before this patch? Mine was 99% for undead.

I guess I'll hope that I roll another Constructs VH on my new bomb, since that's pretty much useless on my RSS. Thanks OOO. /s

Man, this bomb isnt worth it to me.

The download time for the update is kinda weird....as it downloads,the download time kept increasing and only 16% was done...was/is anybody else have the same problem? I mean usually this doesn't happen

This "update" is nothing more than a money stunt.
I have spent good CE, Heat, Time(money), and Money on developing my RSS.
I bought the bomb because of it's elemental damage.
It has been in my inventory for more than a year.
I am not even sure how to calculate all CE that was spent.

A 3UV ticket does nothing for me.
It does not give me an Elemental bomb that works.
It does not give me a bomb that is crafted, UV'd, and heated.

Not one comment in favor of the change on the Testing Feedback Forum.

Need a real answer from OOO....
WHY?
Gun that shoot bombs, Swords that shoot bullets argument negates the explanation of "not bomb-like"
So, WHY?
WHY not develop more new content?
WHY not fix bugs?
WHY not make a new line of bombs?
WHY not new line of swords?
WHY not new line of guns?
WHY not give me more things to want to craft?
WHY take great step backwards?
WHY enrage your community?
WHY bait and switch?
WHY commit fraud?

Its the fail update server, its the only thing more fail than the new shard bombs. Thought I somehow got done updating in 3 mins.. must of beat the rush.

Everytime it goes up 1% the server is like: Its gone up 1%, increase the download estimation by 20 mins!

Is there any update for the Magnus Line/Iron Slug change? It was posted to get a change quite some time ago, quite a bit before the Crystal Bomb update (by about four months), here. There is also a post here that said there was some issues, but no details. All the other weapon changes have received their own threads, stating what is changing, but nothing for the Magnus update except for a couple of non-descriptive posts from Nick. It's slightly annoying to wait almost half a year for an update to a weapon line.

As a response to the update and a RSS user, while the ticket compensation isn't too bad, I think it would have been nice for those who own bombs already to be given some kind of option to choose one of the new style bombs to transition to instead. For RSS, I'm not sure if I want the fiend bonus, maybe I want to have the all elemental bonus, or pierce bonus bombs instead, and have the UVs that I have transfer over. Might make the transition a bit nicer for those who are already far along the upgrade path.

Yeah nothing like waiting more than a year for a 5* shard bomb, only to be kicked in the crotch.

At least something funny came out of this.. took this image from another topic.

On the other note. I want my non piece of junk RSS back Three Rings.

Oh you're just happy cause you're getting al ot of UV tickets. So am I the only one in here that thinks that getting a UV ticket literally for each bomb you have in your inventory is crazy as all hell? You pretty much have the best chance to get what you want now while those that made mistakes and those that had to work have to buy from you. Why do we help out a system that makes us lose out with this ambiguous or ridiculous offers.

It is, hope you're happy paying for something you could've gotten for a fraction of the cost. Think of any expensive top tier item you want.

Hmm, I got a promised 3 uv ticket, but I don't think you can sell it. It might be possible to mail it but that requires trust I guess.

Also RSS now stuns, that wasn't in the notes unless I overlooked it. I'm not sure how I feel about the new bomb change..

The Tickets aren't bound which was stated in another tread. You can sell them. I still have not got my 3 UV ticket either.. but I played with the new bomb and instantly decided I hated its new features. Old RSS was 100x better.
