Now we just need the bomber update.
EDIT: Might as well rename it The Iron Slug Update.
Gunners Rejoice!

"Now we just need the bomber update."
Indeed. I look forward to that. Gunning is fun but IMO it didn't really need a revamp as much as bombing does. I generally always keep a sidearm with me, whereas bombs get very limited usage outside of haze bombs. Bombing is fun but doesn't have enough payoff.

Not a gunner myself, but this seems pretty cool... Might try out gunning after the update.
Sounds like those gun examples are gonna do shadow damage.... The Grim Repeater lol

I honestly somehow only noticed the trigger pun until you mentioned how punny the entire announcement is.

Yes, the puns were awesome.
Are the new gunner armor sets all derived from the current gunslinger line, or will some of them come from another armor set (or even a new armor set?)
And are any of them military themed?

The new gunner armors are entirely new and not based on existing sets.

The last one gave it away. 'Aims' and 'pulled the trigger on' are used in natural speech, saying something 'has one last bullet in its chamber' generally is not.

Yay, now we can play with new guns the same content again and again... Especially after the secret Elite difficulty nerf* we can farm the same content much easier in less time, hooray! Seriously, updates are nice, but I will never understand the prioritys of you OOO. Without PVP the active player numbers wouldn't be as high as now. Some companies could tell you a song called "How I make money by community-driven content".
*What is a nerf? "To make worse or weaken, usually in the context of weakening something in order to balance out a game."

I wouldn't be surprised if the first part of the arcade revamp comes along with the gunner patch.

Quote from Khamsin: "Bro, new content is coming."
Yes, but what's after that? What if we know the new content in less than 7 days to 100% by heart again? And the developers need months for that. This isn't a great thing to deal with. Game modes like PVP are mostly always a challenge, some would even call that sandbox because you never know what will happen there. And it's sad to see that it receives so less love.

And I go from needing just a Storm, Nova, Umbra, and Plague to finish all 5* guns to this. That's not a bad thing though. Maybe one of them will be a shadow magnus. :) Also will these be creating any new material drops or will all be using preexisting materials? Just curious.

Ever think this might just be the first of many updates? Focusing on one weapon type at a time makes it easier to judge how balanced they are.

@Damien
"no, i don't appreciate this. you should have covered all weapons types, and not just guns."
One step at a time. Most games do "class balance" patches at one point or another, with each class getting a patch dedicated to revamping broken elements of their class. This is the equivalent of that. I feel like bombs needed it more than guns, but either works fine.

With their development speed, maybe 2014. Could be faster if they would accept more help from the community.

Could these be it?
The other day my friend found this website, and showed it to me. I'm not sure, but it's possible these could be the guns. If so, could you possibly confirm it? I'm a gunner and have been wanted these kinds for ages. [I have noticed this would've been it so I removed the link so others could enjoy the suspense.]

Welp, already narrowed down one thing.
Is it just me, or does "The Gilded Griffin" sound like a pierce Antigua? Because that's what I'm picturing (Plus, griffions are kinda birds!).
Also, I also agree that, if your doing this, add more variety to bombs.
Mon, 10/07/2013 - 17:34

YES. ALL MY YES.
Key question though... is blitz changing? (pleasepleaseplease say yes.)
P.s: Thunder, whatever you linked to was right, since it was blocked. :P

"Is it just me, or does "The Gilded Griffin" sound like a pierce Antigua? Because that's what I'm picturing (Plus, griffions are kinda birds!)."
It also explains the comment about devilites quaking in fear at the weapon. If we do get a pierce antigua, all of my yes. I've been waiting for a long time for this day.

Really? The first two puns might have flown under the radar, but "still has one last bullet in it’s chamber" was like a unicorn riding down main street at high noon.

Grim Repeater
Everyone's been talking about the gilded griffon, and I was wondering about the Grim Repeater. It sound awfully like a blitz, and it also sounds shadow, so, is there any chance for a shadow blitz? Heck, you should even make a promo about the spaghetti. I'd love to try out a meatball gun that's the clone of an alchemer. (prismatech or shadow)

Dat ain't no wall bug
You probably know this already, but it's actually just the projectile/explosion hitbox being spawned behind the player instead of in front so projectiles/explosions are clipping inside the wall due to that :P
Mon, 10/07/2013 - 20:07

^_^
I hope theres a gun that shoots a wire, about 4 squares wide, and shoots as long as a valiance, that wraps enemies together for about 5 secs, enemies cant attack but projectile attacks are possible, like fire breath or lichen spin spike. And explodes with the status variant.Basically a Vortex Gun. Fingers crossed ^_^
Edit: regular attask are like the pulsar and catalyzer line.3 bullets
Hey. Don't give me that look.
Someone's gonna say it sooner or later.
