So most of you have hopefully tried out bombs by now, and then most likely switched back to your main weapon. I wanted to type something up to maybe see what the community thinks we can do to make bombs a more viable weapon instead of "situational" or "weaker" weapon type that won't be used as much. However, with further personal testing, Crystal bombs are very much viable as a main weapon as long as you are using charge time gear (as explained further down).

I like the new system for leveling weapons via heat: it's fun to see items develop, and really encourages people to keep using different weapons as they develop their arsenals.

However, I've noticed that for a given amount of heat in a level, items seem to level at the same rate, no matter how many items are involved in leveling. (my blaster doesn't level any faster if every other piece of equipment is maxed out already)

I think allowing people to choose a directory for their pictures and the format they're saved in would be a pretty handy feature.

I'm almost afraid to suggest this because it's so cliche, but it would be really nice to have a place to buy/sell/trade items. I'd be more likely to spend more energy crafting stuff if I could track down that one missing material in the recipe.

I'm not sure how the random floor generator works, but I'd love to see more floors that ramp up in difficulty. Start easy; end tough. Right now, I often find that the toughest part of a floor is somewhere in the middle. Getting to the exit doesn't consistently feel like a feat of skill. It would be cool to always include a +difficulty room and a +loot room right before the end of each floor.

I wasn't sure whether to put this here or in Bug Reports because I don't know if it's intended behaviour or not. Perhaps it is an issue that only players with higher pings experience.

When blocking an attack, sometimes i will get stopped or even moved back a little bit. This can be seen most clearly on floor spikes; if you try to cross a little late, and then put your shield up, you basically just have to stand there until either the spikes go down or your shield breaks. If you try to move you just get knocked back.

Please, do not do the same disaster as Bang Howdy here.

A screen resolution of 1024x768 does not mean a window resolution of that size.

Bang Howdy originally permitted going into the proper plist file, and changing the size; things worked. Then, it refused to work with less than a full sized screen.

720 vertical works nicely. I don't mind dismissing the dock. But I cannot dismiss that menu bar on the top. And no, Macs and full-screen Java just don't go well together.

Specific suggestion: Let the user specify a window size separate from the screen resolution.

This might be a bug, but currently crafting uses both crystal energy and mist energy. Once players can create as many accounts as they like, I see crafting alts becoming a huge problem.

The game often feels like a very empty and lonely place without a general/trade chat. To me, not having a general chat takes the MMO out or MMORPG. I'd love it if there were a general/trade chat in the game so I could easily find other people to group with and sell/buy/trade items. Right now, I basically friend everyone I see in the game so I can find people to group with, but it probably makes me look like a little bit like a crazy person (I'm Carlsagan, Derp, and Rose, btw).

I suggest not sending the players back to Town if they disconnect during a dungeon/loading.

Mostly because sometimes the game fails to load a floor, and you end up back in Town with 10 less energy. Or the same if the game crashes, or your internet connection fails. Then it's another 10 energy to join back your party if you want.
