Oftentimes, I'll have a fully charged bomb which I'll set amid a group of mobs. Sometimes I'll get hit, sometimes I won't, but either way, very occasionally the bomb placement animation will finish, and then the bomb simply won't be there.
It's not a cancellation of the charge, because it doesn't play the annoying "Pull bomb up and lift up, put bomb back down" [which you guys should ALSO fix] animation. But yeah. I'll place the bomb, move away.... and it'll simply disappear.
Yep, often the graphic effects are missing but the bomb itself works. I also noticed, early on, that shielding immediately after placing a bomb would cancel the bomb entirely. I learned to wait a split second before shielding.
I'm not sure, but is it possible, that this happens to gremlin bombs + their bomb radius markings, too? Sometimes when those are around, I loose HP or die without any visible damage source (could be lag, or could be invisible bombs).
My bomb effects sometimes aren't present, and sometimes are when this happens, but I notice this a lot, especially when there is lots of graphical action happening on the screen.
Three rings should make this a hotfix. I hate it when I placed my master blast bomb to repel the mobs but the bomb just disappeared into thin air and then I got swarmed by them and die. Seriously that sucks
Also often when this happens, the effects still are there. Monsters that enter the radius get frozen / catch on fire / are thrown away, but the haze / explosion isn't drawn.
