Buff Fireworks Gun

[AThreatToYou]

I'd like it to have some use. Damage to vehicles maybe? Damage after it bounces, damage on explosion? Something. I know it's just a trivial weapon but again I'd like if it had some use. :cry:

[Hamma]

It does say it does damage on the graph have you tried shooting people with it?

[Crator]

Yeah, it does do damage. Someone in a PS2 forums thread they killed someone with it too:

[AThreatToYou]

Yeah, it does damage. But it has to be a direct hit, and it doesn't do damage after it bounces or explodes.

[NewSith]

Doesn't it exist solely to light up the night sky?

[Shogun]

so this silly thing is really implemented as a real weapon, you will be able to use whenever you want?

so now it´s really time for clown noses, purple unicorn masks and nude "camos". there is no seriousness left to ruin any more.

i don´t have a problem with funny holiday things like santa hats at christmas or pumpkin bombs at halloween, but permanent troll items are a nogo for a wargame.

[Calista]

They are getting to be annoying as hell. I hope the novelty wears off sometime soon.

[Crator]

Thing is, it takes up a pistol slot.

[Dragonskin]

Everyone meet at the crown...just light up the sky with fireworks from all 3 sides in harmony with everyone.

[MrMak]

Why not just turn them into regular flare guns after the event is over?

Also after the event is over sell a statisticaly identical flaregun that doesnt turn ijto fireworks during events.


Problem solved and moar monies for SOE. Everyione is happy.

[GeoGnome]

The whole uproar over how horrible SOE is, for releasing a novelty weapon is kind of hilarious.

I'm sorry folks, but if you take your Planetside time so seriously that you can't tolerate a fireworks gun... it's time to reevaluate. I swear if SOE sent everyone puppies, there would be complaints on the forums about how some people didn't want that breed of puppy.

And the question in my mind, is how visible is it at range. That is what we need to know, it may function like a half-way decent flare gun as is. Has anyone actually checked?

[Phantomdestiny]

our outfit is in the process of asking all the squad leader to have it as a obligatory tool.

look at it this way you can use it as a real flare

marking landing zones
airstrikes
enemy sunderers
request assistance
etc....

[maradine]

Does it last long enough for any of those applications? The effect seems pretty short-lived.

[Phantomdestiny]

it is good enough if you are attentive for it

[maradine]

I'd prefer you just be able to drop squad smoke from the comms rose. Stil, having a 30 second air flare would be nice.

[Lonehunter]

I thought it would be a promotional temporary thing that everyone gets and goes away later. But having to buy it with 700sc? lol

I'll pass

It really doesn't seem that dependable or accurate. The "firework" seems to go off somewhere within 20 feet of where ever the projectile stops. It doesn't work well when it lands on the ground, and the type of explosion changes from very visible to "did anything happen?"

it only goes away if you make it bounce . firing straight up works just fine

No so much.

Its a real weapon - but the worst real weapon in the game.

Kind of like a....... flare gun.

[bpostal]

I love my fireworks gun! It should do damage after it bounces though so I can shoot around corners.

[Hmr85]

I wish the flare lingered in the air for longer than 3 seconds. Something like a 15 or 20 second float time to the ground would be awesome. Funny enough it actually does a great job lighting the area up at night. Now only if it was actually dark.

[JohnnyRicardo]

I hate that goddamn gun. It's kinda hard to take the game seriously when the horizon looks like tokyo on new years eve. It's just beyond silly.

[Falcon_br]

I got killed by one, it was not fun.

It happened on indar excavation site.

A Vanu infiltrator hit me with it from behind and cloacked before I could retaliate.

If he was using a smg he would have killed me on the first uncloack.

But no, he needs to troll everyone, so he hit me 3 times from behind with it, just to make me mad! He must be the king of trolls!

I also think it can do headshot damage, the first time I got hit with it, I was almost dead, I tought the damage was the same as a undetonated grenade lancher, but checking here, looks like it is smaller.

[camycamera]

after they buff it, they gonna nerf it thanks to forumside.

[Galron]

Ive been killed by it. It has its purpose though, it let's me know when my faction has a facility spawn camped, they get bored and spam it, I can see it from quite far.

[Rolfski]

It's a Clownside 2 (http://www.planetside-universe.com/showthread.php?t=52490) item for sure that deteriorates the badass scifi experience I was hoping to have with this game. Although I've given up that idea long time ago.

So what's next, Higby's Hair Helmet?

The more this game is turning into a cheap Team Fortress 2 clone, the more I'm looking fwd to games like Star Citizen (http://www.planetside-universe.com/showthread.php?t=55818) that actually understand what bad-ass scifi means.

[AThreatToYou]

PlanetSide 2 is barely sci-fi to begin with. It's... postmodern.

Also, would buy Higby's Hair helmet.

[Dragonskin]

Also, would buy Higby's Hair helmet.

Totally. I've been asking for it for awhile now. T Ray seems to be against it... :(

[Bocheezu]

Can't stand this thing, especially when spammed at night because allies/enemies all become the same firework color.

I completely agree with you man, I bought one and its so fun to kill people with. I think some people are taking this game a bit too seriously for complaining about this. In fact one of the members in my outfit last night used it as a distraction to take down a vanguard. He shot it in another direction and the vanguard went over to check it out while a LA from my outfit came over and c4ed the vanguard when he wasnt looking.

[SerethiX]

He could've used a rocket launcher also..
I think we have enough fun items in game, all the helmets, camos and vehicle mods..

[ShadoViper]

Yes buff it. I want a tri-barreled rapid fire Flare Gun that can set my enemies on fire and bring glory to my empire.

[Falcon_br]

Just discovery you can unlock the Pyro title if you get 50 kills with any flare gun.
And because of my leader position I am really considering to get one.
But I would like it was a flare gun, not a firework gun... The usefulness drops a lot because of that, but with 21 rounds I think it must be enough to attract attention.
