Fire Ammunition DoT

As you may or may not know, the Fire ammunition's description says that the cannonballs are supposed to burst into flames upon impact. I would like to suggest that the cost of ammo be raised to higher than even Hollow Ammunition, say 5000 gold for 100 ammo, but also given a small damage over time, that way the description doesn't falsely advertise the 'bursting into flames' description and can help the little boats build a lot quicker, they would get their pearls quicker in raid maps, they would get their bonus maps done quicker, and would even consider spending money because theirs only so much one can do with making pearl stuff because doomhammers, firestorms, and devastator cannons cost money, not pearls, so once they get all their pearl and crown items, they will consider spending money because its only so much you can do

 

+1

 

Have been thinking the same way that fire ammunition should have aftereffect, just like you proposed in your idea, so: + 1 for fire ammunition DoT but I wouldn't pay 5000 per 100 for only DoT ammo (depending ofc how much dmg overall it actually does)
Too bad that BP doesn't make gold ammunition more worthwile to small boats, (except hollows)

Nah, you can get firestorms without even paying money by going the events. I would just go with voodoo cannons from events if I don't want to pay BP that big money for doomhammers/devastators.

 

In my opinion this proposal is worthless and will only create more problems.

Awhile back there was an event where the special ammo needed was DoT Ammo ( poison or burning ice) and this
caused no end of lag problems. The DoT feature only served to bog down the system even more from keeping track of DoT.

Then also there is the Reality....

If your boat is so small that this is the only ammo you can afford or use then keep this in mind:

Its temporary....unless you make a clear conscious choice to keep your boat that small.
The amount of time/levels this ammo would be of any benefit is so short it would be obsolete to you in one
or two test levels.

 

If that's the case then BP should take DoT off of Flares, Pyre, Burning Ice, And Kraken Poison ammunitions, but they still go with it and it doesn't cause one bit of lag

 

You do have a point, but at the same time its such a rarity to get devastators and doomhammers from events that its almost impossible to not spend money on them if you want them
