I would love some input from TKF, Exodus, Bob666, and others on my suggestions.
Today I had a perfect example of why I suggested the range changes. Today I played a public game, the host set it to 5K. While most grabbed 750 or 1000 range weapons, I decided to get Anti-Grav/Fire Arrows. Fast forward to later in the game I have about 6k and looking to buy a new weapon. Guess what there is at 850? Nothing. More Fire Arrows. The next 850 range weapon is Psycho Laser, and my nearest option was Light Fantastic at 800 or Ion Cannon at 900 range. The only 888 range Magic is Fire Magic. I wished there was the new Confusion and Lightning Magics to make a consistent build out it instead of spamming the same weapon over and over again. I ended that game with 3 Fire Arrows and a want for a variety of weapons.
I would have never guessed in a thousand years that of my suggestions, the SOULSTONE would be the most defended. So, let's drop it from the table. I still don't get the Plasma Fragments argument since the AA Gun is still available if you desperately need a specialized weapon, but even then I see people choosing standard weapons all the time since that minor DPS increase vs. air isn't worth constantly switching so you can creep.
Are there any other objections besides Soulstone and Plasma Fragments? Can we put this to a vote to see if it can make it to .46?
