I will not talk about gun, instead I'll talk about bombs.
This is a topic that should be read by GM so I put this title as a bait.
I apologize for this ploy.

All weapons have a normal attack and a charge attack, exept bombs.
This is the main flaw balancing between weapons

To fix this we must add the normal bombs attacks with restrictions :

- The radius of the normal bomb attack should be that of a 2star bomb.
- The player can put up to 3 bombs at the same time. (depending on alchemy path)
- The damage of normal bomb attack reduced by 40% compared to the charge bomb attack.

This would increase the number of players using bombs.
They could finally use their shield and it would increase their survivability.

Thank you for reading.
If a GM read this, please edit the title and move this thread to suggestions.

EDIT by GM: Read and moved ♥

Qwao

This was how it worked during the preview (beta), except without the limit (I think)

But really? I don't think this ploy is going to work.

And I'm pretty sure you're not the first to mention it.

the title is meant to catch

the title is meant to catch the attention of GM.
It's just a request about balancing bombs compared to other weapons.

The bait is a roundabout way to point out what is wrong with the game
The other thing that does not work either is communication to the players
GM no longer verifies the ideas of players in the Suggestions section.
This implies that the game is moving in the opposite direction to that desired
by the community.

Thank you for your comment, if this topic is growing it could pointing all problems

Why do you need the attention

Why do you need the attention of a GM? Game Masters can't do a thing about it if they aren't developers. Developers don't spend their time Managing the Community, they spend their time developing.

The Apocrealypse is near...

Sorry to burst your bubble full of hope, but it's not gonna happen anytime now.

See, the Devs are doing absolutely nothing to help out an already beaten-to-death game, and whatever connection's left between the GMs and the community is best described as such: "Yes, this has been confirmed" and "Locking this for x reason"

That said, I agree with what you suggest- ohwait, this doesn't even belong here~!
Oh well, time to call a GM and put this in the Suggestions box~

gods ain't gonna help you, son.

there is already something like this in the suggestion subforum.
the suggestion subforum exists, use it.
GMs must read everything. if you aren't sure of that, try putting a swear word in your post.
that being said, bombs are balanced and fun to use (except some of them for reasons). and they were changed because they are meant to punch hard a lot of enemies, not to hit only at short range or only a little group of enemies.

Fishing for GM's, eh?

Even if you lure one in here they'll read the first three lines and immediately go somewhere else more deserving of their time *coughotherthreadswherehtey'llhumoraguyandcommentthereratherthanarantthread/giveusanswers*

Did you understand all of that! GOOD! You win a cookie.
