First i must say, as a dedicated bomber right from when i emerged from my pod, i cancsay i came a long way, own almost every bomb, and have been waiting eagerly for this patch!!! And from the patch notes, i can surely say it was worth the wait ^~^
Secondly,I have a few questions that i must ask, if anyone already knows the answer please do tell.
-Will the 3 variant ticket be sellable? i might need that extra cash to actually get the 2 I want XD
-Do the ones with bonuses/statuses do significantly less damage?
-Isnt releasing a bunch of new weapons (though im so glad they're bombs) going to cause a massive demand for more CE to craft them, thus pushing the market up to oblivion since theres no promo with it?
-most importantly, please please pleeease. Are the recipes available by hall of heroes, and what do we get in return for any existing or learned crystal series bomb recipes?
Thank you for your time, thank you for the update. Now, in the mean time I have some bombs to craft. Muehwhehe X)

Storm you are wrong in a few ways. He asked wether or not the starus dealing variants would deal less damage compared to the non status variants.
Variant tickets are tradeable and they always have been

To affect the market, it
To affect the market, it still depends on how popular will they become.
You can release 9001 new weapons, but if they arent good, the impact will be smaller than you think. Only time will tell.

Extolling
Please give the new bombs a try before extolling the virtues of OOO.

Yes, all weapons with
Yes, all weapons with bonuses/status do less direct damage then non status/bonus weapons of the same type. Ex. Levi Blade vs CIV, Nova/Umbra Driver vs Storm/Magma/Hail Driver. Normally the status is enough to make up for the lower damage, the exception being CIV and the status Flourishes (which are rarely used).
Yes, there will be a demand by a lot of bombers and even non-bombers because the new bombs are just really neat. So CE may rise if there is no promo soonish.
Tickets are tradable as my guild leader and I tested, so yes, you can sell them to other players. They CANNOT be sold on the AH though.
There are 6 bomb lines now, each with their own starting bomb.
Start at 2*:
Crystal is pure Elemental.
Darkmatter is pure Shadow.
Splinter is pure Piercing.
Shard is pure Normal.
Start at 3*:
Sun Shard is pure Piercing with very high vs Fiends and can Stun.
Rock Salt is pure Shadow with very high vs Slime and can Shock.
If you want all that means you have to get at least 12 recipes (if you buy from the 3*) up to 22 (if you craft the starting one yourself). Shard and Darkmatter I am going to get even if I am not going to use them much as the purple and red shards are amazing looking.

@Gwenny the awesmome
Interesting choices there! I guess swords really do cover elemental alot though, bombs ... different story XD. I am going for the elemental and normal damage ones both, the no status no bonus ones

@Future-Storm, You can't put tickets in the AH because there is no "tickets" section in the AH. You can however mail and trade them

"love them X) "
You sir..
You are among the weird ones.
Bonuses/Statuses deal less damage: Not True. They get stronger the better they are.
New weapons makes market die in a fire: True. It will demand people to ragecraft them, which will drive up the price.
Recipes in hall of heroes: True. Get them from Remi. You keep your existing or learned recipes too, but there's no benefits.
Variant Tickets are sellable: Not true at all. Last time, not sellable, this time, nope, will they ever, no.
