I want to know if strafing and uncharged bomb attacks will ever return to this game.
I need to know if my investment is going to lead to anything. I have spent Hundreds of dollars in this game and I have gotten to a point that I will lose it if this game gets any worse. I want what I have been asking for for almost a year now. If +$508.20 isn't a good enough investment then tell me what the frick I need to do to make you feel obliged to give me what I want!
Serious Fricken Question.

Um I have been asking nicely
Um I have been asking nicely since I found out that bombers where forced to charge attack only so don't push it. If I need to I will go to great lengths to force my will.

Strafing is in the game already. As for your contributions, just because you payed money does not make you entitled to get whatever you want put in to the game.
P.S. Saying "put this in because herp derp I want it" is not a good reason.

Strafing is still in game.
Have fun "forcing your will", because it won't work.

@the person above
Do you know if this type of bombs will return?
How does one strafe in game?
Why are YOU mad?

What if someone's paying OOO +$508.21 to keep bombs as charge only?

A looooong time ago, in a time called beta there were such things as non chargeable bombs, they were spammed daily and without mercy. Lag ensued, bombs became the easiest weapon to use, and so the GM's decided the reign of terror had to end and so to this day bomb users are "cursed" with having to charge their bombs before using them.
So yeah, if bombs didn't need a charge anymore we'd have lag symphonies with nitromes, spamming everywhere in LD, and not to mention it would make a lot of the content of the game much easier then it already is. If you look at it like that it seems reasonable. Also, you can't always get what you want, and whining or forcing your way won't help either, not trying to be condescending, just saying.

I mean smaller explosions! Not that I want charge attacks to go away!
Jeez is that not obvious? Have you ever tryied soloing using bombs only? It takes 5 times longer!
Its not your fault... >.>

@incendere
Actually yes I have, it's fun. But your original post says "uncharged bombs" which I took for bombs that could be deployed without charges.

No offense
Maybe you're just bad at bombing.
If done correctly, bombing can be one of the safest methods of attacking, only problem being turrets (RIP Radiant Sun Shards) or very little floor space.
The drawback to bombing is that it's a slow method of killing, and requires constant attention since you can't shield while charging. Which is why many players opt for swords or guns, which takes a more active role in attacking.
There's no such thing as a support sword, and it'd be a tough stretch to say that guns can be used to support (That fictitious Polaris pushing that never ever happens), but there are most definitely support bombs that cannot be overlooked.
What you want is to make the game a complete cakewalk that requires absolutely no skill at all. I can imagine people just spamming the "normal" Big Angry Bomb and mercilessly devastating everything in Lockdown.
Not to mention that nothing is more fearsome than a professional bomber.

@Incendere
You just need the right bombs, the right strategy and all the bonuses to bombs you can get (specially max CTR and Damage Very High) and you can pretty much destroy almost everything in the game with ease BUT there are some things bomber still will have more problems in dealing then swordsmen or gunners (mainly Greavers and Turrets, Trojans werent much trouble with the old sun shards...).
After trying only swords and guns for around 2 years now, trying bombs is very fun and it breath new life to the game for me... but yeah, bombers need a lot more preparation then swordies (mindless and relatively easy) and gunners (needs a few more bonuses but can shine with the right guns) to not feel sluggish and slow as molases.
Also, only 500 wont sway OOO in anyways. Didnt Chris and the wonder twins pour thousands upon thousands but still got ignored?

I hate lockdown 1st off.
Secondly don't ever bring LD in to this it's not the reason I play this game. I play this game because I watched the trailer after being invited by a friend. The review said I played like LoZ: Four Swords. It was a lie but I just hoped someday that lie would become a reality.

@Incendere
LD's a big part of the game for a lot of people, so its a valid point, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not a valid point in any argument.

LD din't even Exist AT THE TIME!
LD HAS NO PLACE IN SK!
I want my answer!

@Incendere
I'm confused, are you talking about pre-offical release? I'm still not clear on how smaller bomb explosions tie in with uncharged bombs?

@Gzilla
I knew Chris and Magnus put in more, but I didnt knew it was that much more in comparison 0_o
Also, I miss the twins; I never met them personally but their forum posts were always nice to read.
Why did Chris and Magnus quit? I never really found out why.
@Incendere
I dont think anyone hates LD more than me but for some people it's the only reason they play anymore or get ce to trade in and spent rolling on UVs; making bomb unchargable would cause problems EVERYWHRE but it would screw LD royally.
Imagine endless, unstopabble Nitrone, BAB and Irontech spam!
Also, this game's relation to Zelda is only skin deep, you can barely compare them.

Trust me if you saw some of the screenshots Chris and Magnus posted, they had crowns in the millions, and their CE was ridiculous too, not to mention the amount of rare accessories they both had.

I dont see any reason to
I dont see any reason to complain about how bombs are now, especially in T3 LD where its near impossible to touch a good bomber without a gun due to radius of the bombs and types of bombs used.

Erm...
1. I don't know if that's even true that you spent that much money on this game. I'd have to ask 000 to dig into their sales and see if you even bought in-game items with said money.
2. Spending said money would get you all the bomber sets, all the bombs, and then some. Like maybe 8000 CE?
3. If you have said bombs and bombsets, then wouldn't you be good with them? Because it seems to me that you like pure bombing.
4. If so, then why are you even asking for something outrageous like this? Oh, wait, you punched through the game like the p2p guy you are, without developing any bombing skills. That would be the only explanation. If you want to suggest something, then do it in the Suggestions thread, not whining here. And no, I'm not even defending the site. I just like saying everything that doesn't seem to be smart about your post.

Could you describe this "strafing" that is supposedly not in the game?

/e mutters something about the forum population being on hangovers after April 1st.
Why are you saying how much money you've spent on SK here? Isn't that kind of ... unwise?
Wasd is what i use... Also, while im sure the team appreciates your financial contributions, demanding change like that is unlikely to work.
