in my time playing (been playing since there was a 10 energy cost for floors), gunners got a big update to try and make gunplay more of an option, but i feel the most bombs got was a sleep addition, but nothing more. i'll try to pitch some ideas, but all are suggestive.

One; make more armor variants for bomber-oriented gameplay, (like the recent gunner armors)

A vanguard shouldn't have to farm a 5-1 mission for advanced orbs - at this point, I should be drowning in low-star rarities. But since low-star items don't drop in higher tiers, we have to go and do ultra-easy missions to get them. Instead, let us farm the fun high-star missions and craft down the orbs - maybe an eternal can be split into 2 elites, and an elite can make 2 advanced, etc.

i know you made a mission to farm them, but new players are just too bad to do it or dont have the gear yet

if heating is a pain in the ass, takes forever, and lockdown is completely unbalanced and not enjoyable at all, people that dont like to stand in haven for hours are done with the game very soon.

this is because people would patiently farm if they could do something thanks to it later on, which is not the case since they're gonna try lockdown and get depressed.

I really like the gem auras and grey auras, but the trails that they leave daze my eyes and sometimes lag other players. Would it be possible to have them toggled for on-off, perhaps at an NPC?

Thanks,

Just some "simple" ideas to be hopefully added to the game

Stop focusing on making new worthwhile content and start focusing on the important things!

In the options, under controls tab you can (re)map a variety of keys to help you customize the game: I'd like to see a few more options there.

Gate Map: I often look at the gate map as I'm playing, so having a mapable hotkey to bring that up fast would be great!

/greet: there are several commands you can map right now, but no greeting, and that is the one I personally would use the most.

Custom chat commands: have 3 or 4 slots for map-able hotkeys that will just send customizable text to the text line.

I don't think they'll give us permanent ones for tokens so, why not a promo box?

All in favor say PEPPERMINT!!

Lots of players want a 5* version of the winmillion, which is part of the spur line of weapons.
My idea is to have an event-exclusive weapon, craftable at the mysterious alchemy machine.
A purely shadow damage weapon (You've already changed normal into shadow, with the shadow blaster), called the Black Kat saber.
It'd work the same as the winmillion, but it would send out 3 bullets on the 3rd strike, and on the charged shot.
Crafting recipe:
20 Dark Shard
5 Vile Seal
4 Owlite Feather
3 Rocket Sprocket
1 Silver Coil
1 Kat Tribe Fetish
1 Wicked Whisker
(+ Obvious stuff)

Handgun line: Gravigun

Combat style: Catalyzer?
