Dear ACME Labs (c/o Bungie Studios),
I was very impressed with the sales presentation given by your sales person, Wiley Coyote, but I should have taken note of his demonstration videos where his wares were not able to capture one flightless bird. Unfortunately, I was taken in with his smooth sales pitch.
I have taken possession of the ACME Self Replicating Easy Place Tripmine. In theory, the product is solid, but in practice... well... I should have paid more attention to the videos.
The Easy Place Tripmines do easily stick to surfaces (except body armor, for some odd reason), but will often align incorrectly with the mounting surface leading to frequent situations where the mine will not be triggered or at the very least provide a less than optimal explosion.
The sales person also assured me that the tripmine would be excellent at killing off any vermin that I might have a problem with, including Warlocks. Unfortunately, by itself, the tripmine rarely proves to be fatal, even if the nuisance receives a full blast.
And lastly, the triggering on the tripmine is slow. I distinctly remember a Warlock running in, standing in front of the mine while pecking at some special ammo, the mine triggered and beeped, then the Warlock went "Beep! Beep!" then a *pthpt* sound, and it zoomed off in a dust cloud before the tripmine went off.
I am returning the tripmines and I would like to apply the refund to the new Hunter Sling-O-Matic your sales person tells me you will have available soon. It looks like an innovative combination of a giant sling shot and rollerskates, too finally allow me to catch skating Titans.
Sincerely,
Elmer J. Fudd, Hunter
[EDIT: Also, next April Fools, could you replace all the in game sounds with Looney Tunes-esque sound effects?]
[EDIT REDUX: Please note, this is written as a piece of humor. This is not a request for buffs or nerfs. Please enjoy this for what it was meant to be, a little bit of a chuckle. The title has been updated to reflect that.]

Trip mines don't make sense in this game. Instead of being set as a one hit kill trap, they're a timed throw just like any other grenade. I will say they need to detonate the instant the cone is crossed into. Theres too much delay between when its triggered and when it detonates. You shouldnt be able to run pass one and take half damage.

Call your credit card company and tell them you paid for goods and didn't receive them and you gotten no response from bungie customer service....they'll reverse the transaction yesterday....and if your stuff has already shipped you win!

I used a can of their paint to draw a tunnel on a mountainside then got hit by a train

I know your trying to be funny but you Hunters really need to stop begging for buffs , you are still the highest competitive class In the game ... And it's not our jobs to pamper to your insecurities on the field. Sincerely Titan Main.

Anytime I have the opportunity, I will be responding to posts as Elmer Fudd or some other Looney Tunes persona. I encourage others to do the same.

dear customer, the product is working as intended. youll need to add one bullet to finish off these vermin. this can be found in the booklet we attract to your product. we have learned that these vermin have mutated to resist tripmine explosive.we are working on a new product we hope will help combat these vermin more effectively. sincerly, Willy

Edited by FrenetiCreature: 2/22/2017 7:51:13 PMIf all of the sound effects were replaced with Looney Toons-esque sound effects, my k/d would drop even lower. I'd be laughing too hard to play. *See that titan that just FoH over the edge of Pantheon? You hear that long diminishing whistle of Wiley falling off of a cliff, then a slight poofy-thud, as a small plume of dust appears from where he landed below, his body lingers in a crumpled, contorted heap for a moment, until he respawns. I'd stand there and watch, cracking-up, every. single. time.

Solid gold.

Anyone else read the title and think this was another (genuine) moronic refund request? Definitely my favourite post for February. I particularly liked the whole Warlock /vermin theme. Even though I have one myself.

You just don't know how to use trip mines. Simple....
-
Legitimately laughed out loud at work, making several people look at me like I'm an idiot (they aren't wrong.) Thank you for that.

This made my day thank you.

Funny stuff, but as a cartoon purist it behooves me to inform you it's "ACME", not "AMCE". Other than that, well done!
