They came, they saw, they lagged us all to death.

If you dont know what I'm talking about... then it's player bomies. I'm extremely tired of the bonuses they get (Higher Attack, More HP, Indestructable Shell, Rapid attack, etc) and they lag.

I'm taking a stroll around Bomboria and I see a bomy on the south side... I'm on the north side and for some reason I'm half dead and the bomy comes behind me. It's not the connection... it's just the laggy scripts.

Sure sometimes it's in close range too... Like in the admin house... You're fighting a bomy and he sits there for a second... next thing you know you're hit ten times and the bomy moved an inch.

I agree with the bomy shell thing.
That should definetly be changed.
If anything a time limit should be put on it so they should still recieve damage but maybe only half damage.

Well there is a quest that was being made (long time back when me and kamuii were managers) that was originally for level 2 sword for humans but it didnt't get finished. I know it's being worked on. Not sure how much is left to be done though.
So that will even the attack thing out.

And the HP would kinda be evened out with humans having higher attack and alsothey are faster which makes it easier to escape our attacks. Although it's still difficult.

I think that until bomys get more things to do they should stay the way they are.

Maybe I'll agree they need to be taken away, but then bomys wouldn't have _anything_ besides about 2 jobs.

One thing that could be done is make it so only bomys can get clear water again

Only getting clear water sucks.
It's not like it is used to much.
The thing bomies need is something like hats.
Although it would have to be something that follows behind the bomy attached somehow as they differ in shape and size so nothing could be put on them.

Yes, Agreed, but everyone seems to enjoy whining that no one gives them ideas to make for bomys and I just gave an easy one

Great, so since bomys are so superior to you, why don't you go morph?

Because the server would be 100% Bomy...
I'm not here to gain the advantage for me... it's to balance the server.

There is a balance.

Bomys have a combat and economic advantage.

Humans have hats, more weapons and more frequent updates.

Bomys hardly have one now. They have less jobs then humans, I don't think they can even craft, and not to mention the fact that now you need 5 white pearls for 1g. I don't see that as an economic advantage.

And another thing, why does an economic advantage matter if they don't even have any new things to buy?

The shell thing isn't that bad =/ It's like pausing.
They have rapid jump so they fall into water easily (bad for survivor) they are alot slower and can only walk 4 directions...They got their own disadvantages...chill out. I say leave 'em as is

Yeah, but you can also get 1g for 2 black pearls, and 1g for 1 pink pearl.

Pearl Diving makes more money than any other job on Bomy Moon, except I suppose the possibility of PKing. But Bomys are probably better at that too.

Bomies do 15 damage for 1 hit. Bomies have 140 more hp unless you pay 200g to morph into a bomy and morph back then you have about a 100 more. Not to mention the no time out in a bomies attack can cause a player to freeze and not be able to move. I dont mind the higher hp bonus but the attack power should be equal or slightly less for it. There should also be a time limit of 5-10 seconds on hiding in the shell.

Also going omg its balanced we got 1 jobors and no hats. Is ridiculous giving one race vastly superrior fighting abilities is not balancing. Balancing means making more jobs and either an alternative to hats or hats that they can wear (Ive heard thats being done.) Also isnt there something like bird catching which is only for bomies?

Guess what? Bomies can't wear hats. Bomies can't mine. Bomies are for some reason hated by people who attempt to RP but haven't even considered it. BOMIES JUST WANT LOVE.

Higher Attack - You're right on this one. I think bomies are better for defence.

More HP - Crybaby.

Indestructable Shell - OMG YOU CAN'T PK BOMIES SO SAD

Rapid Attack - See "Higher attack"

Lag - It's just you. I never lag with bomies.

Bomies can't walk very well, they're generally treated like poop (And they still are after the BOMY REVOLUTION.)
I think another revolution is in order, unless we get to wear freaking hats.

As for "lack of ideas," Necklace making hasn't been uploaded. It's been sitting ready for HOW LONG NOW GOOGI >_>?

Hey, I said we should implement Antago's system of having bomy "shoes" for each race (each race has their own set of shoes they can pick from).

Jeff said that "bomys are fine the way they are" and threw in a "Managerial Veto" or two, just for kicks.
