CRAZY IDEA : New bomb forge traits

Suggestions
1

If you’ve read the title, I believe you already got what this thread is about.

Flash-Bang Bomb Trait :

This boon would be achieved by using the Glow Gum.
When the bomb explodes, it temporarily blinds nearby creatures. This effect would be diminished depending on the level of the creatures.
If used in a beacon where you have building permissions or in wild areas, the bomb will also create a little special effect that lasts for X seconds and lights-up the place about as much as a block of gleam. This secondary effect would not occur in other people’s beacons to avoid trolling.

Sticky Bomb Trait :

The boon would be achieved by using an undetermined gum. Venerable Gum? :man_shrugging:
It simply makes it so that the bomb doesn’t bounces anymore. It sticks to the first block (or creature) it touches, and then detonates after the usual amount of time.

Both bombs could work with other traits like buff bombs, healing bombs, knockback bombs, and would create some new and exciting gameplays.
What do you think?

Do you want the Flash-Bang Bomb Trait to be added?

  • Yay, I want the Flash-Bang Bomb Trait to be added!
  • Meh, I don’t care if the Flash-Bang Bomb Trait is added.
  • Nay, I do not want the Flash-Bang Bomb Trait to be added!

Another variant of the flash bomb could be used to illuminate war field for ALL players (not only bomb thrower). This way people can save 5 points of light epic on their warrior char and invest it in armor or what not and every hunt, one person carries these light bombs to light the place for everyone.

I would support any idea that would make the bombs more useful and more relevant to the game.

For the sticky bomb a new augment made from glue is a better option.
Adding boons always makes the existing boons harder to get.

Oh definitely, I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’d be pointless otherwise.

Indeed, but if the gum is used only for that, it’d be strange, though.

Personally, right now, I’d want to use sticky bombs to make a lot of holes in a tall wall, effectively making the wall look like a naturally erroded cliff with some slope chiselling here and there.
That’s what made me write the thread in the first place. The Flash-Bang boon came as I started writting.
But it could clearly be useful in hunts too, if all your damage bombs could stick to creatures.

That is why I suggested an augment. Then there is no need for a new boon and gum.
Something like http://boundlesscrafting.com/crafting/damage-bomb-augment-1
That way it can be added to every existing bomb. It also allows to make damage, area of effect, speed bombs (or every other 3 boon bomb) sticky.
