Yay or Nay?
A Throwable/Shootable consumable that can de-aggro AI enemies and disorient players. Good for players who enjoy stealth plays, great escapes, and avoiding enemy snipes 🥷🏻
Would this be too annoying?
Would this be too laggy?
Is it too OP to blind enemy cannons with smoke?
Could this be balanced with increased rarity like Bonecallers?
Would obscuration benefit swordlords and blunderboys too much?
Would blinding someone while they're bilging be OP?
Imo if we've opened the bonecaller gate, I think smoke bombs would be just fine as long as the radius and effect-time is reasonable. In which case there's no need to make them too rare either.
Also (learning from CoD's mistakes), as long as theres no aim-assist through the smoke, I don't think blundies or any weapons would be too OP.
@ollieoxenfree said in Smoke Bombs 💣:
Love this idea. Should have the same effect as the ashen lord move, just on a smaller scale. The horn of fair winds should be able to blow the smoke away.
I think the rarity would have to be turned up on this. On par with the bone callers.
This honestly is perfect and helps balance the smoke bomb if we get it.
People suggested throwing knives for 6 years.
Chainshot, scattershot, naming your ship, guilds; all of these things used to just be forum suggestions for a good long while.
I'm actually shocked that they haven't already added them. The mechanics and assets are already there (throwables + Ashen Winds Boss move).
I support it as long as the mechanics make sense. Like it wouldn't make sense to me if you could throw one on a moving ship and have it stay with them as they move. A brief second of blindness for sure, but only for the duration that you pass through it.
@olde-grim-jack I totally didn't think of this great idea to add with my "Rogue/stealth" suggestions. This would be mandatory!
@sweetsandman ...but there's no wind below deck! Imagine the chaos when throwing one down in the hull! 😎 This would be a good way to counter being spawn trapped. (Those no good 🤬!)
