Add a fire trail to It and a ice trail to Bomb.


This is more of a question for all of you.
Should a trail be added to It/Bomb?

If so, then the max timer for the bomb would have to be drastically reduced to prevent people from hogging it too much; Probably from 180 sec -> 60 sec.

Nice I like this idea.

Add the snow particles when the character is still as well, like a lvl 80+ ice element

I like the idea but I don't know about reducing the time to 60 seconds.

Sometimes when I'm practicing by myself or with someone else in a public training room, someone interrupts by bombing either of us. Easiest way to deal with it is to just hog the bomb for 180 seconds and the troll gives up eventually.

If there was an option to have stop "it" and "bomb" from affecting you then I would be cool with reducing the time. Even if it was just a chat command like /noit or /nobomb or something.

I say make minimum bomb time 30 seconds

[TonySoprano]

60 seconds is suggested because if the trail is added to the /bomb and /it commands, players would try to keep abusing it and holding onto the trail. This way if someone uses it for 60 seconds and they die, someone else has the chance to play with the command.

I like it and dislike it at the same time.

I think it's really cool but people gonna use the maximum time just to have that trail so that kinda ruins the whole point of it. If it's gonna be a thing then it definitely should be reduced from 180 to 90. Even then, people gonna hold it for a minute and a half and as soon as they die, they will be ready with the command just to have that trail again so I believe some of them will "abuse" it.

Fantastic idea, the usage of the new trails in-game for some commands could be nice tbh

[Frooples]

All righty, I'll take the more conservative approach for now and set the max time for /bomb to 90 seconds.
I'll also fix the bug where /bomb can kill you if you have both the [GOD] and [EX] mods on.

Can revisit this after the patch if necessary after the adjustment period.

I chose not to do this for optimization reasons. It doesn't look as good as you would think anyways. Nothing like the level 80+ ice element.

Moved to Have Been Added, due to "Max time of /bomb reduced to 90 seconds and an ice trail was added to /bomb, whereas a fire trail was added to /it", see the update thread for more information.
