the day they fix this is the day they fix antigua, sealed sword, and gorgo hitboxes, along with the wall glitch for other guns
i want it fixed, it just wont happen

Cheshire fixed that already aviri
one spawns in the player (not behind) one spawns where a regular shot would, thats just rotating where it starts sort of
and the charge can't go through walls so that doesnt need changing (if it did get changed it would probably hit the wall behind due to it being a larger hitbox

Even with this effect I still find the DA an extremely useful weapon to have in the FSC (few weapons can move so many slags in just one charge attack).

Gorgos need bigger hitboxes, less attack power, and less movement (both the hovering motion and attack range).

More seriously, I actually think revamping the levels instead of the items would make for a better experience. Maybe not a better experience for the developers though..

Having the bullet originate behind/in the player would be a good fix. Perhaps having a hit number on each bullet? Or once it hits something it returns to the place it was fired taking the same path? Having the charge shot pierce enemies (and not walls!) would be okay by me, but having the normal shots do that too makes the weapon itself overpowered as well as game breaking.

Balance nerf to it would be single shots don't pierce, charge shots do pierce, and spawn the bullets in the player. All this means is that you can't stand with your back to a wall while using this weapon, which you probably shouldn't be doing if you're using a gun anyways.

I did not say zat! Yes, it makes more sense to fix the item in this case. Redoing the entire game around a single item is ridiculous. BUT- I think that the game would be infinitely more interesting to replay if levels were made to be more dynamic and items were expanded to account for this, and that if the developers were to refocus their efforts on the original concepts of the game and make such a huge change, it would be highly beneficial in the long run.

Currently, there are no real puzzle elements in the game despite puzzle elements being one of the draws to the game. There is never a scenario where I have to figure out something, or solve something new for myself, and there is no real means of exerting creativity to your advantage. Whenever there is a "puzzle", it involves either mashing switches or matching a key to a door. Placing the one remaining piece into a jigsaw puzzle does NOT constitute solving the puzzle.

The mixmaster adds 'real' puzzle elements to the game just by way of allowing the player to hit through walls to places they normally couldn't. It fundamentally changes the way that you play the game, and lets you plan ahead to get a better result should you choose to do so. The alchemers do the same thing when they let you shoot around corners.

So what if, the developers made a huge change to items and the general level design? I'll write up what I'm talking about exactly, though I admit that it's a long shot and that the game hasn't been going this way in terms of development. But I can dream.

EDIT: Here is my unrealistic post about what the game could be- http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/105990

I actually kind of think that bullets getting stuck on things really kills the attack more than you'd think. It's basically why so few people use divine avenger over the brandishes. I think that they should really focus on just putting a check into the game that detects bullets and apply it to a good many weapons etc.

Here is how it could work:

On collision with block, is the shot coming from one of the offending items? If so, check whether it has had time to travel at all. If so, check the direction of the player in relation to the block. If the player is facing away from the block, nothing happens. THEN, we can spawn whatever we want behind or inside the player.

Something like this, would be the solution to all of these wallhacking items.
