Too much boobie in the bomb

[Amnotright 105]

We’ve gotten a lot of passionate feedback regarding the Boogie Bomb over the last few days and I wanted to give a quick update. As most of you have mentioned, its effect has been a bit stronger than we expected.

In the short-term, we’re going to reduce the effect of the dance to 5 seconds. We don’t think this is going to be a silver bullet, but it should help alleviate some of the frustrations with its current implementation.

Moving forward we have a few ideas to address the core issue: the person being attacked by a Boogie Bomb needs an opportunity to respond. There are a number of suggestions we’ll be evaluating, including (but not limited to):

• Remove the instant explosion, making it bounce and detonate like a normal grenade
• Have it create a ‘dance zone’, where the effect goes away if you leave the area
• Disable the dance effect when taking damage
• Allow players to build while dancing

Additionally, we’re continuing to work on improvements to our hotfix system. This will allow us to tweak more than just balance numbers without requiring a full client patch, but we’re not quite there yet. Thanks for your patience!

I read that as Boobie, and was interested in the game.
