Dodge bombs is a sport where you try to blow the ground out from your opponent, until they fall in lava.

Yes you can! I know other tournaments have restricted players to provided bombs… Im sure there’s a good reason but I don’t know. I figure we can give it a shot and see how out of balance it is. I’ll have sets of official bombs if we need to switch.

@RobZadouch It really is a brilliant Game invented by @Orrian (im pretty sure) It involves a sandwiched group of “wild” plots* being used as an arena. The top is owned and cleared, the bottom is a floor of lava (or not), and the middle gets blown to bits by the opponents as they hop, No grapple, and panic their way to victory or death. There are a few cool arenas out there, and I wanted to get in on the fun.

I’m guessing it’s due to the stats, Topaz/Amethyst bombs can have an extra meter blast radius compared to Sapphire/Ruby and 2m compared to Diamond/Emerald bombs. Since you’re fighting to remove ground below the enemy player, removing more blocks per bomb is an advantage.

That would make sense. I was thinking Diamond and Emerald would be op because of higher damage, aand possibly being able to follow through with the removal of it’s full blast radius. Like Lesser damage would leave more blocks half damaged.

damage prob wouldn’t be an issue if you have enough damage boon levels… unless the stadium is at a T6 world or something xD

I think more along the lines of I can max forge bombs, 10 damage, 10 action speed or range and 10 bigger boom. Others might show up with half those stats.

I’d suggest having unforged bombs for everyone one. I’m pretty sure people brought forged blink bombs before which would put others at a huge disadvantage. Just saying. Definitely going to check it out though.

I would suggest regulation bombs for the main match, or it will become a competition of who bought/ forged better bombs rather than any actual DB skill, and it could discourage non-forgers or ppl short on coin from attending.

not being able to 1-hit blocks when others can is a huge disadvantage (3-hit with low skill or cheap bombs would make the game insanely long)

I had best experience with unforged sapphire / ruby ( identical in terms of block destruction and can 1hit on a T3 planet ), or you can use silver on Storis (t1-2), these have 3m radius and are ideal for a medium length match

if you want some equipment variety, let players use augments instead

About how long did the matches last?
How many bombs did you have at the ready for regulation bombs?
What was the difference in length of a match of unforged / forged bombs?
Do you think the disparity between only Gems bombs is enough to turn people off?

I was really hoping the opportunity to make something yourself and make something better than your opponent, would entice people. For those that cannot forge there are forged gem bombs available at the arena. I figured if @Bethlehem brought her max forged Amethyst bombs and I had my max radius diamond, I would at least have a fighting chance.

What are all the bomb augments?

19

relevant augments for DB are t3 damage - they make sense if bombs used can’t 1 hit blocks at max skill
and t3 radius - that makes a big difference in the late stages of a match when you are trying to hit the player rather than just spawning bombs

there could be a rule that you can pick which aug you want and be allowed to use 1 stack of just that type per match

with a regular size of arena, 1 bag of gem bombs should be enough for 3 rounds ( advantage of unforged is that you have nearly unlimited supply with very little bother)

matches where there are no limits on bombs (byob) last a few seconds for pretty much everyone except the last 2 players, and can cause game crashes

same as there is the ‘best’ skill set for DB there are ‘best’ bombs. anything other than that will give you a significant handicap, because sooner or later you will get an opponent who has the best skills and bombs and will most likely lose. Boundless isn’t balanced in a way that you can pick different gear and skills for different DB play styles. there’s the best and the rest. that’s why we go for regulation bombs…

Tonight i’ll have to try some unforged bombs. Maybe i’ll just spend some time destroying the other side. See how long it takes with each type… If somebody wants to stand on the other side…i won’t stop you :wink:

Does anybody have Silver bombs for sale I can grab tonight? otherwise i can make my own easy enough…
