Boomerang

[Shilvicx]

We should have the ability to throw a boomerang at your friend and they should be able to catch it and throw it back. This way you can pass time by playing catch with your buddies.

[XxTheGentleManScientistxX]

This sounds fun.  It might hurt a lot, if the person misses. 

[Battal]

"Catch!"

 

*splurch*

 

"Oh god my eyes!"

 

+1

[luivul]

Just do it when he's not doing anything else or...

[Pyromailmann]

And now the scenario:

Player 1: "Hey man, let's play catch!"

Player 2: "What should we use? Rocks?"

Player 1: "Let's use a boomerang!"

Player 2: "Okay, throw it."

*they throw the boomerang back and forth for 10 minutes (in Don't Starve time)

Player 1: "Here it comes again!"

Player 2 (hit by boomerang): "OW, WTF man?"

*Player 2 is now dead*

 

Alternate ending (for teh lulz):

Player 1: "Here it comes again!"

*Player 2 misses and it flies back and hits a group of convenient treeguards*

*Player 1 runs*

Sounds grand, then makes the boomerang that much less effective (combat wise) in multiplayer. I actually think that sounds good!

[J20hawkz]

Cool idea.

[Zomsabra]

Best idea ever....I can just imgaine....

*Imgagine*

Me: Hey Friend lets play catch with this very lethal Boomerang!

Friend: Ok!

THERE WERE NO SURVIVORS.  

[The Letter W]

Until the catcher player moves slightly and the boomerang goes flying off, never to be seen again until one of you has 3 health.

Then the boomerang will return. 

[luivul]

This is going to become the main cause of death.

[Ninaiso]

This is the greatest idea.

[enjee]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but boomerangs are heat-seeking aren't they? So there'd be no way to dodge it since they'll chase their target forever. I think making it catchable would be the only feasible response to protecting yourself from it. Lag will probably be irritating though.

 

I personally can't wait to assemble a roving band of boomerang executioners - chasing down and slaughtering some poor sap who had the misfortune to be born with only two hands.

[CREU]

lol imagine the pvp only using boomerang 4 people trowing boomerang at each other have i mentioned you can trow more than 1 boomerang at once?

[the truthseeker]

Boomerangs are a curved piece of wood (often) or other materials. it's not a frickin' guided missile. 

[Lerysh]

Except for video games, where boomerangs are very often seeking projectiles.

[the truthseeker]

Well, even if seeking, they are not heat seeking. In this game though, they hit. But if your hand isn't ready for the return, they hit you, drop,  and lose twice durability than if you just caught it  (one for the enemy hit, one for your hit.) 

[Scrimbles]

I'd like to see someone have a boomerang thrown at them, run away for like 10 minutes, and then let it hit them, making it return to its owner without them knowing.

 

Best death.

What about using a telelocator staff?

FRICKING YES!!!!

I threw a boomerang once at a bird that flew away immediately. The result was that the boomerang flew off screen. When I caught up to it I found it just floating in place with the spinning animation and everything. I'd imagine teleporting would have the same effect.

 

I'm just calling it now - boomerang death squads will totally be a thing.

[Klto]

PVP with boomerangs:

 

 A attacks B with boomerang*

 

 B catches boomerang*

 

 A and B play catch and become friends*

 

 A gets hit with boomerang*

 

 A attacks B with boomerang*

 

 The cycle continues on....
