We see this in the suggestions forum every now and then. You should either move this topic there or the bug report, depending on which you find applicable.

The bomb circles weren't always around, I thought it was pretty cool when it was added. (Which I think was before Lockdown?)

Bomb circles have always been around and I don't see them being removed any time soon.

EDIT: I may have derped but that's what I remember.

Bomb circles have been around since I joined about a week before the Snarb came out.

This has been brought up earlier, and I still totally support it. Poor bombers get shot up too easy as is

This is a Suggestion, isn't it?

As a matter of fact, it's more of a problem in T3, where the AoE is HUGE. In that you have this GIANT circle thing. Keep in mind that shard bombs don't have this giant circle, so if you want to throw it a bone, go ahead. In T2, the AoE is smaller so it doesn't stick out as much.

Still, I hope they remove the enemy bomb AoE pointer. I mean, imagine this:

You are a recon. You uncloak and drop a bomb in a second flat. All the enemies in the area WILL see where not to go. I want my bombs to give them a surprise, not a flag! (Everyone loves surprises! --Heavy Shard Bomb)

let's remove the needlessly offensive parts of that post, hmm?

#autisticisthenew[mentallychallenged]

@Redblades, Nobody is asking for invisible bombs, the actuall bomb in the center of the screen will still be there and they would be completely obvious. How many Nitronomes do you see laying on the ground in FSC?

You can't see the bomb that sits there for a couple seconds after the bomber has to charge it for even more time? Sure, you can see where a swordsman is pointing, but he could easily turn around, change weapons, attack, change back, and turn around again, in less time than the fuse of a bomb. The same goes for guns. Unless you completely removed all signs of a bomb, they will always be more visible than swords and guns.

Swords can't hit people from below the screen, except for these swords

I also need to ask, Are you autistic? Swords don't need a line/rad marker because you can OBVIOUSLY see which direction they're pointing at.. SAME for guns. .

People are asking for laser sighting on LD. This could be it. All drivers charged can hit from far away, so does Brandishes, DA, GF, Flourishes and probably other swords I don't use.

The bombs radius should be taken out. Only the bomber should be able to see it...

And I don't play with sounds on SK, I have music instead... We don't play the way you do.

zed, I don't play with a maxed out FPS like some people. I see random people, and I avoid them. when there's a bomb on the ground, I can hardly see it even with the rad marker. when RSS was unchanged, I'd actually run into it because I didn't see anything on the ground.
@shamanala, I don't play while looking at the screen, I focus on cooking and making nuclear bombs while playing.
I DONT PLAY THE WAY YOU DO!

I'm outta here.

Ok Redblades, now your just on my bad side now.

Being autistic is nothing to laugh about, and neither is being a retard. My brother is autistic, and I can tell you from first hand experience how hard he finds socialisation. The autism spectrum is a wide and diverse thing which you're just slapping on someone insultingly like a name tag. I honestly doubt you actually even know what it means, and you're just calling people it every other hour.

Now, get out and stay out of the forums before you learn some manners and basic etiquette.

you're offended?
my mother was violated by a bear ooooh I'm so offended by every joke about sexual violation and every sexual thing that has ever been posted on the internet. (butthurt stuffs)

jokes aside, grow up...
I could hardly care about your brother. sound heartless, but I bet none of you care about every single mentally challenged, disabled, starving person you ever hear about. you can't care about everyone.

You're offended about me calling people autistic.
I'm offended by YOU telling me to get out of the forums because my best friend was excluded from everything, and bullied as a child. He suicided at the young age of 12.
I could go ON AND ON AND ON about things, but honestly, nobody really cares.

ANYWAYS, your brother being autistic isn't actually a big deal. most people of our generation (perhaps including myself) are all completely [jacked] in the head anyways. Some autistic people I have met are actually smarter than the teens I see today. true story.

Now excuse me while I cry in a corner because your brother (whom I don't know) has autism, because I'm a "caring" human being.

Because the GMs primarily deal with the community, not the content.

When was the last time you saw a dev intervene during a fight on the forums? Or really any dev but Nick post on the forums at all?

If you can't see the red marker, why are you objecting to it being removed? Yeah bombs need a marker, but honestly, an outline of it's max range and the bomb being seen in the middle is enough. Atleast make it white so it doesn't scream: "You will take damage here in 3 2 1"

And honestly, anyone who plays with a mouse can very easily and quickly change their direction entirely.

I'm talking about the RSS. the RSS marker was so tiny, that with my poor fps I could hardly see it. with polaris around, I wouldn't be able to see anything. if we remove the rad markers, I could easily run into a field of bombs without even seeing the bombs on the ground.
AGAIN, bombs are made for a DIFFERENT purpose.

-1 to derailers

I can get behind this.

Most grenadiers and other demo-oriented people on a squad disguise their bombs. For them to be effective, enemy unawareness is key.

The longer an enemy is unaware of a bomb, the better for them.

I say let's give it a shot. Let's make strikers watch where they dash more closely/give recons some scare factor more than what they already have. Let's just hope the bombers know the ranges of their own bombs and don't complain about bombs -missing- if this happens.
