RE: Bomb Spar Kamikaze Headband
 

Here are two photographs of a player "Pigparty (FUTUR3)" abusing the "kamikaze headband" in bomb spar to survive through the "Hurry up!" blocks.

This is something that I find myself CONSTANTLY reporting, yet nothing is changed.

Perhaps the headband should have a timer set on it? Use it before the timer is up, or it'll use itself.

What exactly does this headband do, and how would one obtain it?

it's so cheap. people should be punished for abusing it

I guess.

Only saw it once ever.

I think I am going to add detection to see if a player is 'standing' on the spar blocks, and have the code eliminate said player.

O_o You'd think that a Bomberman mini-game would work like Bomberman.

The purpose is to keep one match from taking too long, so another match can take place without too much of a wait. I am not sure if the same type of idea is on Battle Online, (the Eurocenter game) but this functions the same way an arcade game would.

Bomber Arena is identical to Bomberman, coded in GS1, and doesn't take too long.

There are multiple factors that determines how long a match runs.

For example, we have an arena which is 21 barrels long by 14 barrels 'tall', if you do the math, (which I did in a previous version of this post but I lost my calculations because graalians logged me out.) there is alot of barrels to clear before you get to your opponent. Due to the arena size, it would take longer to clear a path with lesser players in a match.

There is also the possibility for players to try to run away and purposely prolong the match. This type of system prevents the option of running away after a certain amount of time.

Just to note, Stefan designed the system which decided to make sure the arena functions like it does now. (Excluding the current bug)

This will be fixed by friday.

I'm sure you remember Bomber Arena having the stage get smaller after two minutes. I assume your system is similar.

What I meant in my first post was that it's logical to have players on blocks to be eliminated and I was surprised that it wasn't already implemented.

Bomberman is fun, this just...I can't do it. No more..it's sorta boring.

would anyone care to tell me why this is so bad and why theres such a big fuss about it?... its the same thing as 2 friends tying a showdown match and making ppl wait forever but without all the waiting. nd since when r there rules in bomb spar lol

In showdown they can still be killed in bomb spar they cannot be killed and the other player cannot win. Say i was hosting bomb spar and the same person did this every round no one else is going to have a chance at winning prizes

OHHH. That's makes more sense.

oh ok. so this means ppl are abusing it. thanks

I still don't know how to get it! XC
Like, is it a prize?

When you blow up a barrel sometime it will drop an item, poison or nothing and the headband is one of the items.

OHHH. I thought it was an item you could win.

Never seen it /:

that's cool but maybe it would be better as a bomb spar event hat. maybe a BST hat?

What? The headband is an item in bomb spar that allows you to carry a bomb with you and chose when to detonate it, not a hat.

What..you mean the self destruct...?
That's not a headband!!

too lazy to re read everything lol. Im thinking of something else. but it would be cool if the headband was a hat for a bst

It would. Like a fire themed headband?

no.. just a regular kamikaze headband aha. rising sun or somethin

like the Japanese headband in ezios shop.

Ah..I see (?)

Before you pick it up its a headband once picked up its a red bomb on your robots head

Kamikaze has been temporarily disabled. Will add it back once we have fixed the bug.

Yay. Gracias Señor.

Make sure you make it so they can die in hurry up if they have it.

No 0.0 just make it go away -.-"

It wont be added back until we can fix the issue.

Just don't add it back /:

Why not?

Well it's pretty cheap. I don't remember this in Bomberman (｀_´)ゞ

But this is not bomber man but it is kinda cheap but good players know how to dodge the kamikaze headband.

I can dodge it. That's not my problem, it others. I've seen people lose just because of this item. It really is a bad item for others. Also, people will just camp Until they can use it.

Yea I have seen both of those happen but one thing is everyone uses it.

Well it wouldn't have too big of an impact on people if we can strip it from the Bomb Spar.

Yea and I'm actually liking it without it because it shows people's skills

Yeah, I found Bomb Spar much more enjoyable now. It's much better :) 2 thumbs up for taking it away, and keep it that way.
