bring back knockback boomboxes.

the game as it is now is verry unbalanced towards people that get to mid fastest with the Perl + fish combo being able to kill pretty much anyone in the game.

the game would be a whole lot more balanced if there was more than one movement option so that the only movement option in the game was not exclusive to mid.

on top of giving diamonds something else to do (because unlike the other recourses they become useless after a while), this would make the game a lot more balanced to the people that do not go to mid; the amount of times I have gotten a 5+ beds destroyed game and gotten to the last island only for them to have 5 fish + pearls to chase me down is enough to put me off the game sometimes.

this is unbalanced as the rewards (in terms of loot) for killing all the other teams in a game is not high, nowhere near as high as the loot you get from just camping and going to mid. bringing back knockback tnt would fix this.

in early game too, sometimes people can get iron Armor verry quickly from pure luck (both teams upgrade their gen getting twice as much gold, then rushing there far neighbour with an upgraded gen while they are away means you can get it in the first 2 minuets by pure luck) and with the only movement option being locked to mid, there is almost no way you can fight them (given that they are a decent player). bringing back knockback tnt would fix this.

and the final generator upgrade is useless for anyone except campers, diamonds need another late game use (late as in after armour) to justify the final generator upgrade. bringing back knockback tnt would fix this.

on top of knockback tnt being one of the most fun items to use it would solve a lot of balancing problems in the new update that are caused by the now verry cheep prices of armour and the knockback fish.

there is a hole in the games shop (and my heart) where knockback tnt used to be, the block breaker tnt get replaced by the fire charge but there is no alternative for the knockback tnt when the game needs it NOW MORE THAN EVER.

I’m pretty sure they said knockback boomboxes are already coming back. If they do implement them though, they need to deal some damage so people can’t get away with flying around the map for 10 minutes like in Treasure Wars.

As LightKnight stated above, readding Boomboxes is already a planned feature!

wouldnt the fireball knock you back when fired in front?

5

yes…

but it is really expensive, it doesn’t send you far enough to cross a gap, and it would do almost half your health.

Its not expensive

it is expensive as in you probably would not be able to get it in early game, where this would be useful

All you have to do is get 10 iron bridge to Diamonds and then upgrade thingy whch now spawn gold wait for 10 gold and upgrade use more diamonds to upgrade and optionally grt emeralds and then you quickly get lots of gold until you get enough for a fire ball, the dragon ones are cheaper as well

i guess if you are camping, or going to mid you might be right.

but the whole reason this thread exists is to make the playstyles that are specifically not those more balanced.

if this does get added, they should double the price since players can max out their gens and get a heck ton of this thing which can lead to prolonging.

Guys… I think hive has said they want to do this…

It was my understanding that they were working on figuring out the physics of the boomboxes.
