Big chicken?
Agree, at least my idea doesn’t buff anything and it’s sound cool, i don’t want it to be locked because of touhou-transfering topic >:V
P/S: I don’t mean to trashtalking about pros, but they should care a bit for casual players and n.o.o.b.s as well.
P/S 2: Maybe @InterAction_studios should read this: New event idea: Insanity Destiny
The probability of ricocheting is too high in your picture – more than 50%. That’s almost a chaining mechanic. I was thinking of a much lower probability – 5-10% max.
Requires too many additional texture resources for too little benefit.

That could certainly work. (My photoshop skills weren’t the best back then.) 
Perhaps give a different sound to the bullets that hit other enemies?

I’m saying that, although it looks impressive in your picture, it would look a lot less noticeable using a more realistic ricochet probability (5-10%). That’s all.
I don’t think that would help.

Well I just had some thinking, what if the bullets that Ricochet glow red? 
(kinda like here)

I’d just like to quietly and inconspicuously add my voice to the pile of people above who are stressing the idea of content > rigorous “balance” difficulty buffing.
I get that it’s hard, and that we probably want to leave EA soon, and I’m not sure I fully agree with the sentiment that just because more effort goes into an idea it’s inherently “better”, but all I know is that time spent effectively ping-ponging difficulty buffs/nerfs (sometimes in the space of a single update because it’s poorly thought-out and presents issues) is time that’s completely wasted. I’d rather see, even, one semi-complex idea get added before launch than a bunch of changes that don’t work.
And I think during Early Access this is ESPECIALLY important for two distinct reasons:
- Players during EA, and especially players during EA who give feedback on this forum (clearly not the whole active playerbase, if you look at the leaderboards) tend to represent the “creme of the crop” - the best of the best. We are not the best sample space for difficulty.
- We want the game to be accessible and interesting when EA launches. As nice as it would be to say “lets add the complex features once the game starts making money”, it’s also possibly that if there’s not enough to entertain people (or the difficulty is unrealistically skewed towards a niche audience) then the game may not even maintain a financially stable audience and could fail. It’s a scary possibility, but this even happens to Triple A titles when studios are like “Release Date! I don’t care if it’s half finished, we can fix it after launch”. A weak launch can kill a game that clearly has potential and interest - just ask No Man’s Sky.
I don’t enjoy being negative, but honestly, it’s getting scary that it feels like we’re very close to release and some of the “balance” changes are bordering on doing more harm then good. CIU needs to put its best foot forward if it wants to launch soon, which is very much the vibe I’m getting from the general nature of the latest updates.
tl;dr: Less difficulty buffs, and maybe just maybe some new content? A fun but unbalanced game is best balanced after launch with a wide playerbase, and a balanced but unfun game may not get the chance to prove that it can be fun.
(Disclaimer: I’m also not saying CIU isn’t fun, but it’s got a payment model that’s much more geared to long-term play rather than single experiences. This is the first time the Chicken Invaders franchise has to deal with Player Retention, and it’s one of the things I think might be a struggle if it’s not handled very well.)
(Disclaimer #2: Not pointing fingers at any specific community members here. Some of us are doing a better job than others, but we all need to focus on this and on doing it in a way that is respectful to one another. [And to iA].

So why “Look in all directions” wave has Pecking order? It is below 4 too.
I should get it too since you noticed from my suggestion as the rule said.

Im gonna-
Please tell me you read iA’s rule.
sigh dude, mind showing how many bug and idea medals you have? You only reminded IA about it.
It’s ok, don’t worry 
I’m cool with it.
I wonder how many time it took you for that?
Well, maybe I’m good, what’s it to ya?
Yeah, and they’re my medals, they don’t affect you, why are you so mad about it? And read iA’s rule if you haven’t.

Just because you reminded IA about that specific idea, doesn’t mean you made it.
Why should you be given a medal too just for bringing it up? IA should make it so that only the original creator of the idea gets a medal. If you would’ve made the idea sure, it’s yours, but not when it isn’t.

I didn’t know Fire suggest it b4.
No, because iA noticed it from my suggestion, if I didn’t suggest it, it wouldn’t have been added to the game, so I should get credit too. I don’t think that’s hard to understand.
Or else argument will happen more because of this unfair rule you want.
