Making Omphalos Bullet a Quickdraw only bullet

Take off the rare, make them stack and add pouches.

The main reason why the Patriarch Protector’s arrow and Iron Musketeer's bolt was converted to the Combat Caster’s quiver/Iron Musketeer's quiver, which could be used to dispense ammo once every 168 hours, was to improve the situation where conquest points could not be spent on other items due to the need to replenish ammunition. As you may recall, it was quite difficult to earn conquest points at the time we introduced these quivers.

We understand that obtaining an Omphalos bullet is certainly not easy, but the high stats were set based on that factor and our stance is for players to take caution when changing out ammo, so we do not have plans of changing this.

Could you please ask the development team to revisit this idea? The bullet's drop rate isn't very common and I understand that the statistic's on the bullet are high; however, it's sadistic to punish players by making them get the drop again for a failed macro (could be caused by lag) and other reasons that could cause somebody to fire the bullet away. Firing the bullet away has nothing to do with skill and it can be completely avoided by using 3rd party tools.

Either way, I appreciate the reponse.

I am no COR, not even a RNG, But i would like to extend my support for the request to have the development team reevaluate their reasoning for keeping it a Single Bullet.

Making it a Pouch'd Bullet(99 Stack i mean) might not be the right course of action, But removing the (EX) from it might be a good start... If you could buy them, Shooting them might hurt less. I still feel the Iron Muskateer's/etc Approach would be the best course of action. Able to claim a Bullet once per week. This would still make people use it cautiously, But also not punish them so harshly.

Hopefully they look into this again.

This response is completely and totally unacceptable.

100% agreed. It's infuriating that they have a truly excellent solution in the conquest point ammo model, and they won't use it here. The "conquest points could not be spent on other items due to the need to replenish ammunition" response is utter garbage. CORs can not use their valuable TIME and spend it on other things due to the need to spam this fight possibly dozens of times to replenish their ammunition. All conquest points really are is time, just like VW fighting. And "the need to replenish ammunition" part shows that they DO understand people will shoot the ammo on accident, due to lag, etc.

The worst part is that even though NOW people are still fighting Akvan frequently, that will die off as people get their Heka's bodies (the real motivator for most people doing this fight). Meaning that Akvan will become dead content in time, and good luck getting your LS to go spam the fight dozens of times to help you get a bullet. Before anyone mentions Pulse Cells, those don't provide much motivation for people who already got it to keep going because other VW fights have better money drops.

And yeah, it's rare enough to not be something you can dismiss. I've fought Akvan 40+ times using cells and never seen the bullet.

This really may be the worst developer response I have ever seen.

So we have Fullmetal Bullet which is just an ammo slot equipment

Make it like that

then have a hidden effect on omphalos that makes it ignore the quick draw ammo check

or just make it a pouch that gives you 1 bullet (still Rare/Ex) once per week

Except I'm pretty sure you can't equip a non-throwable (equipment type) along with a gun. For the same reason you can't equip a staff and a dagger.

what a laughable cop out on the dev's part. you could have used the same argument on the cp ammo. less jerking us around, more actually helping the player base.

Seriously Okipuit im pretty sure yall play this game too or am i smoking something? you can't tell me you know this doesn't smell of something brown in nature, pass this along with extreme prejudice there is no way this is acceptable. (and for great justice)

Dear SE,
Sometimes LAGGGG in game does not switch your ammo or gear when you press the macro button, and thus shoots off your hard to obtain ammo and causes players to become extremely frustrated.

Extreme dislike!

What is this, facebook?
Also, my sympathies rest with OP, that's totally a gyp.
