Bamboo Deflect not working, at all.
 

If this should be in the future improvements section (as I think it is a bug), then move it please, I just needed some attention. Basically when the bamboo rod spins, the damage still gets through, it's been tried with several guns. I have iFile, but have not tampered with the bamboo at all. My device ID is 5130377. Please help, thanks.

I think it's because there's alot of new items that can defelect damage coming out so they are trying to balance everything

Great. As if it didn't suck already. Still though, it's completely useless.

This is ridiculous! no-one is helping!

My bamboo sucks enough, but I'm forever grateful that I got it.
I'm thinking of a Black Bamboo which reflects bullets and have 9 damage (50ec)

Wtf my bamboo block doesn't work either >:( Im not even jailbroken

It probably got messed once they downgraded KSG

Ksg block doesnt work atall either x.x

Something has gone deeply screwy 0.0

I wanna refund or a working bamboo rod!!!

Same, I want bamboo to do 8 as compensation. lol

they shouldnt edit something people have already bought, ive explained this serveral times, its simply not done, if you need to make a change then you replace the gun in the shop with a fixed one, but you cant change something people have bought.

...And why not? this has happened with the famas loads. Same with the m16 and m4.

What I find astonishing is, that no staff member has reacted to this yet.
This bug is disturbing the gameplay, so it would be nice if it's taken care of as soon as possible.
Thank you.

Njc said he'd talk to snk about it.

I bet nothing will ever come of this. The description has changed, it no longer says "has some chance to block enemy damage". Admins, you suck :)

I laughed at this comment. They don't care one bit what players like us have to say. They would rather come up with some stupid comment to explain their flawed logic. Then completely say you are all stupid for believing something that has been proven through experimentation.

Yeah this sucks, happens to my bamboo too :(
I'll bring it up next time snk is on.

Cheers, Lavaclaw! Ask him if it can deflect? (bullets bounce back) like the others :P

Hmm i think that would be a bit overpowered, may as well pay 35 EC for the bamboo and not 100 for the lightsaber if it serves the exact same purpose.

I agree, what about a damage increase then? 7 is a bit low :P

Then what about the KSG... The gun wasn't that good already, meaning it doesn't serve any purpose because of te downgrade. It is slow, has no blocking, and the bullets do three damage, and it costs 75000! ;o

Cannot block?! >_<
I paid for the KSG like a month ago.

Okay this might close this thread up :
The Bamboo and KSG now reduces 25% of the Damage received by the player,
so when blocked you won't get 8 dmg but 6.
So this way people can fight a bit better.

Stay on topic, please.

Did you test it?

Yet you can get an umbrella that does the same exact thing from auction for 50k *smh*

I've bin told by a Dev.

This is crap. I wanna refund for my bamboo rod!!!

Me too.

I definitely want to refund it too.
The new option is crap.

Agreed. It only looks cool. I wonder if I could trade it for a katana, since they're worth the same.

I wanted this to happen:
Give all the current bamboo users a black bamboo rod with 8 dmg and Reflects bullets.(like umbrella)
Sell it on ec shop for 75 and make the old bamboo rod for 20 EC's

YES! Have you made a black bamboo? If so, I wanna see it.

me toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..

The block now only takes in two damage, so for example, if someone fires an m4 bullet (8 dmg) then your HP will be taken down by 6.

This is total crap. Only two damage block..it should be 15 ecs instead..

I pmd snk about refunding it, and to my surprise he answered, asking "do you know the pc id(of the account I bought it on because I had a transfer) and when you bought it?" I answered yes, then I told him the information he asked for. No reply and no refund yet :/

Oh, well, good luck on getting a refund. I don't think I would be allowed to have a refund because my bamboo was a gift :P

Mine was more Like an "I'm sorry" gift

I really don't understand the sense of the new two damage less blocking option.
I mean, who would just stand there and use the bamboo to block, if you get damage?

Could somebody (like snk) explain it?

Well I bought mine and I hate it now :/

The bamboo is going to be fixed.

Booya! Can you make the bullets bounce back?

op.

Snk said he was fixing the bamboo today :)

It's fixed :)

Yay :3
Close the thread now ;)

Okay :)

The ability to reflect bullets upon contact was meant for the lightsaber.
I cant believe that the reflect of an umbrella is 100% showing reflected bullets while the Lightsaber is 80% not showing the bullets.
Umbrella is OP.

I was so surprised when one of my gang members got the umbrella. It made things 2X easier when capturing bases.

Not sure if this has been fixed already but on PC Era we have got it fixed a while ago

Welcome to forums.


KSG has the same problem and not fixed.
